Because every Uber ride I have taken has been professional, clean and efficient. Taxis where I live are often unsafe, dirty, you have to fight with the driver to just turn on the meter, and the credit card machines are always “broken” until you say you can’t pay with cash. I’ve gotten groped by a taxi driver, but have…

Thank you. Frack activists have ZERO understanding of basic science most of the time. Or how a well works. I’ve listened to a couple of them try and explain why its horrible and evil, before they found out that I’m in the industry. Their understanding of fracking (and how the inside of the earth works) is usually…

My wedding planner is the best money I have spent on my wedding in a few weeks and I have not regretted it once. Wedding planners are not just for spoiled bridezillas... they come in a huge range of prices and services. Mine cut me a huge deal once she found out I was an engineer and had already chosen my venue. She…

I LOVE this dress! I actually ordered it to be my rehearsal dinner dress, but it didnt fit quite right. I wound up returning it for a very hippie Free People dress that I loved so much that I took my bridals in it.

I saw that.. but if you look at vaccination maps, the highest rate of vaccination is often in the poorest states (the South, etc), and the lowest rates are in the richest. His statement doesn't make much sense when you look at vaccination rates across the country.

haha I proud I guessed it right (and scrolled down enough to see I guessed it right) hooray for people with "spark" in their names! We must be of an intellegent sort...

I was about to list litter-ers! I went on one date with a guy in high school who threw a fast food cup out of his truck window about 3 min after picking me up. I never went on another date with him again. I went to an outdoor event with another guy a few years ago who just threw his beer cup on the ground and stepped…

Didnt you get the memo? The world revolves completely around YOU, how dare someone not consult you on your preferences for their wedding?

Is it regional that "boo" is a "black thing"? Where I grew up it seemed to not have any racial connotation. As in, old grandparent-age white people were using it 25 years ago addressing grandchildren. (Granted I'm in my late 20s so that's as far back as I remember) I didn't know until about 3 years ago it was…

This depends... I don't doubt your story bc you seem like a nice person and airlines suck. But my sister was just on a plane with a lady who carried a wedding dress on and then expected to get to lay it flat in the overhead compartment... So it took up 2 whole compartments, enough for 4-5 carry ons. She was baffled…

When I read your post I kind of wondered... I don't know how to DM on this thing ... But did his last name start with Z?

So... I kind of had a similar experience... SUPER clinical approach, except he would have me lie on the bed (with a towel under me and large amounts of wet wipes ready). Gyno visit was an excellent way to describe it. He got mad when I came but didn't squirt and basically accused me of not doing it right.

One of my best guy friends was in a bar they were filming in. One of the PUA creatures was talking up this girl and she clearly was having none of it. My friend went up to her in the middle of them filming the interaction, bought her a drink, started talking to her like a actual person, and they eventually left and…

If you dont mind me asking, how long did he spend in New Orleans? Was it immediately after Katrina? I assure you that we have plenty of grocery stores, and not just on the "outskirts" ... There is only one in the immediate FQ/downtown area, but that's a very small area. You have to realize that NOLA is super…

They just opened one in a really poor area of New Orleans, it's a smaller store and doesn't sell the hoity-toity stuff, but sells a lot of the 365 brand, etc. I think they do have an initiative to open up stores in food deserts but it just started.

yes! My first thought was .... "Omg she's lactating showers of lace"

Reading the comments made me realize how lucky I am...my job is super ROWE. Granted, my job requires me to be on call 24/7 for a few months a year, and those months you are expected to be available at all times and be ready to work whether its 2 am on Wednesday or 9 pm Saturday night, and you dont get much (if any) of…

The Red Hats are AWFUL to wait on. I worked at a place that they loved - we had mostly gourmet desserts and coffee, along with some light lunch items. They would come for when a group member would have a birthday, and insist on splitting a $2.50 drink 3 ways, literally pulled a "she ate more of this slice of cake than…

I don't think I can star this enough. Gawker/Jezebel writers, for all their talk of privilege, cannot seem to grasp that what is a social movement in their group does not apply to the rest of the country.

there's a similar place in New Orleans... They don't do your laundry for you. I wouldn't say its the cleanest place, in fact it's kinda dive-y. But it's a bar with a laundry facility!
