Uber/Lyft drivers literally have the destination in the app. He doesn’t need to ask her any of that. And yes, car doors auto-lock but they can also be unlocked by pulling the handle unless - like asshole driver, apparently - he engaged the child safety feature.

Because women generally try to avoid escalating situations until they’re safe. You try to call the police while scary asshole is insisting that “we” are going somewhere, what are they going to do that can save you faster than he can beat the hell out of you/stab you/etc?

Taxis are driven by strangers too. We’ve been doing it for longer than Uber/Lyft have been around.

What is this “leftover pizza” concept of which you speak?

I can’t “save for later” unless I order something gigantic and party-sized. Ordering a pizza means I will eat until I am uncomfortably full and maybe the whole pizza is gone, so it’s personal-sized for me (or no pizza). :(

I love this. One of my friends is one of the... instigators? insane geniuses?... behind this, and I am laughing my ass off at seeing it develop from random idea-slinging on Facebook to this semi-fame/infamy status.

I think the point was to get the pointers to the good stuff from the locals that way, rather than to use that as your “I observed the ways of the natives” obnoxious filler material.

I don’t think it’s so much that it’s considered a “part” of an animal but what sort of animal harm is involved in production. For instance in egg factory farms, a lot of male chicks are basically crushed/suffocated/etc. and turned into more chicken feed. That’s an awful lot of animal deaths to make eggs.

He doesn’t actually have that chromosome, but he has various interesting mutations that help, like having a ‘wingspan’ wider than he is tall, double-jointed ankles and elbows which assist in his kick and strokes, a disproportionally long torso, and producing less than half of the lactic acid that normal human athletes…

She might have said something not entirely grammatically correct in the moment, having been surprised and all. Let her take the lead if she changes her mind.

Some open relationships exclude romance with other partners, and allow sex-only outside relationships. Some don’t. You can’t imagine looking your wife in her face and saying you’re not content? Great. Remain monogamous. Non-monogamy is not something you want to do.

The Purple Pig would make an amazing calzone. And even at a place with the motto of “Cheese, Swine, and Wine” they manage to come up with a solid selection of veg-friendly food.

Eh, if you give him instructions he will see it as something to fix and then of course they can totally be friends again. No. Because he almost assuredly hasn’t fixed it, and because she is done with him regardless.

I have super-dense tissue as well and mine hurt like hell too when I get it done, to the point of having to clench my jaw and even bringing tears. Two years ago I had to have a second mammo on one side (as in, call you at home to give you the news and tell you to schedule ASAP) because the dense tissue gave a…

Glasses, yes. I had to ask a nurse to please give me back my glasses post-op (fortunately it didn’t have complications unlike your circumstance) so I could recover faster. It’s amazing how disorienting this is. (And now I’m realizing that after years of resisting it, I may want to get laser surgery even though I’ll…

It’s worth leaving the phone paired for some emergency cases - which you hope you’ll never need, but, yeah. In my husband’s case, the 911 Assist option (not Onstar, not a subscription service) called for him when he had a medical emergency (unexpected massive internal hemorrhage) and passed out behind the wheel of the…

Oh yeah, the restaurants - well, practically all of them- aren’t sticking all that meat on a skewer themselves.

I once had a problem with a particular curly little hair perched atop my pasta dish in a restaurant. My dining companion was shocked to see it, and reached out to touch it - and the thing seemingly had coiled-up tension that was released when he did that (stuck in the sauce, possibly), and it somehow ‘bounced’ out and…
