Vagnoni is 56, a few years older than I am (I'm at the boom's end.). When she writes about the ideas boomers have about how parents should be treated, I have to laugh. Boomers treated their parents like garbage. They had tons of advantages. The kind no group before or since had.

Dislocated my jaw by yawning.

I yawned my face off.

ok, a little background: a latte consists of two ingredients: milk and espresso.

Imagine if police didn't bother investigating other crimes because it was just too expensive.

In Germany, BK just came to legal blows with its biggest franchisee leading to temporary closure of one in eigth restaurants in Germany. After media had reported problems, they initially had made a deal that the managing director of the franchisee would stay out of day to day business, as his business attitude was…

So, the quitting part of this story is just quitting, but what my employers did is the real fucked up shit.

I think there should probably be a trigger warning before this story, because other people have told me they have had similar experiences, and it's about sustained child hoood trauma. So, well, anyway:

I worked at a fairly large cadillac dealership in the service department. The service department consisted of a very long building with service stalls on both sides and the dispatch office (where I worked) was right in the middle. I was one of the very few females employed in this department. It was a fun job but…

I worked for a nation wide tea chain who had me doing the work of a regional manager for the pay of an assistant shop manager. 80 hour minimum work weeks, driving hundreds of miles a week between shops with no reimbursement for gas, no personal time, a great relationship ended, ulcers gained. A large portion of my job…

Yeah, so the restaurant (franchise, hokey family sit down) I started working at in my last year of high school was run by a shitty owner who bent labour rules in sooo many ways that I did not realize until years after I left.

I have so many stories about quitting, because I was a huge goddamn loser for half my life.

I can't believe that $1 "safe ride" fee isn't working.

Well, when I realized what was happening, I sneakily slid some of her additional gifts under the couch and will return them. And the next time I'm home (she lives with my dad, because she's a precious 24 year old snowflake who doesn't understand adulting), I'm snagging the sweater and the Kate Spade necklace too.

Yeah I don't know that we need another movie based on the idea that women are just desperate to get married, and we can't possibly be happy until we've partnered up. Pretty sure that movie exists under about 32991283921 different titles.

I had to Google about 90% of what you just wrote but I love this comment and thank youl

Psych meds might not cause mental illness but some of the anti-depressants can have (singly or in combination) side-effects which fit what most people would describe as 'mental illness'. But according to the FDA, medication for ADHD appears to create psychiatric problems in patients who have NO HISTORY OF…

Look, I know it's easier to think that aliens came down to Earth thousands of years ago than it is to believe that the ancient peoples of Egypt or South America and Central America had any skill, brains, or artistry.

Homeopathy claims water can cure you, because it once held medicine.

Even this is a pretty charitable view. Homeopathy claims water can cure you, because it once held something, which may or may not be medicine.

Oscillococcinum, a popular homeopathic preparation for the flu (sorry, for "flu-like symptoms"), contains…
