I got fired from McDonald's at 16 because my drawer was $20 short one night - after they told me to go home without cashing out my drawer "in case they got busy". That's when I learned corporate America sucks.

I and my former BFF were axed from a bridal party once. We had been friends with the bride since middle school, and in high school she moved to FL. She got married at 21. So 4 of us who had always been super tight were the MOH and bridesmaids.

I had a job as a purchasing agent at a company at that time (fell into it while temping, while finishing my master's degree) and one of my jobs was buying computers. Which consisted entirely of the IT department telling me, "This is exactly what we want you to buy" and me typing up the purchase orders. Panic ensued

I have a creepy neighbor like this, but I live in an apartment building. There is SOMETHING wrong with both her and her husband, but I'm not sure what. She doesn't understand social cues of people not wanting to talk to her, she'll just follow you around babbling at you. I run away with "I have something in the

It's named after a 17th century Flemish painter (Anthony van Dyck), who wore this facial hair style and painted it on a lot of men. It was very popular all over Europe in the 17th century.

Truth. They'll nudge it along because they spent all their savings and retirement money on preps.

So at least this explains why they keep having her on Glee. I mean, her voice isn't awful, but it's more "singer in the church choir" than person who should be trying to sing pop songs.

I always wind up next to people who want to talk to me and get all huffy when I don't. I hate flying. I need my music and my magazines, and my whiskey and coke, and to be left alone. Only once did talking to a stranger on a plane lead to anything positive (a free cab ride to my hotel in the city I was going to on

I'm hoping this is fake, because all I'm getting is that Jeff is a psychopath and Hero should change his name and leave the state. How the hell does he sleep at night??? Jeff's probably creeping in to watch him sleep.

They have other items - cookies, brownies, cake pops, muffins, and giant ass cupcake shaped cakes. And coffee. It was truly baffling to see people go in there, order coffee, and nothing else.

You are not the only one - I love them to. People have complained about dry cake, but I have NEVER gotten one that wasn't completely moist and delicious. I am so sad about this.

Yes, I blame the mother for not wanting to tell people her son tortured and killed people there. The whole house should have been torn down- like John Wayne Gacy's house and Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment building. She's trying to make a profit off of a horrible situation instead of walking away. And then lies and says

freeze the onions for 30-60 minutes depending on how big they are. You'll never cry again.

Yep, like one of my college roommates who is now a child psychologist. I feel so bad for all those kids.

Usually nothing stops me from taking my vacation, but when I started my job 4 years ago, I once wound up leaving 5 vacation days on the table for the year (out of 20) because my boss would not believe I hadn't used all my days, and I was trying to end an argument. Then this year, she gives me grief for taking 2

I'm in agreement with you here. One of the things I miss most about "What Not To Wear" was their constant instance on situation appropriate clothing. If you would wear it to a club, you DO NOT wear it to work or church. Way too many people are not being taught this.

I have a friend marrying a man whose family owns a lot of apartments in a former Communist country - please note most of them are worth $20K US, maximum. However, his mother is quite concerned my friend is a gold digger, after the family's apartments. I point out that he's getting a green card for marrying her,

My colleague is 10 years younger than me - I was old enough to see "The Crying Game" when it came out and she wasn't. I was telling her she needed to see it. She asks, "isn't there some big twist" and I said, "yes but I won't spoil it for you!"

Here's my problem with Easter. My mother actually expect me to give gifts to my nieces and nephews. I have told her every damn year Easter is a candy holiday, not a present holiday. I give them $5 and I am declared best aunt EVER. Plus my siblings are happy I didn't give them another piece of crap they have to lug

The frustrating thing is she's not looking! First she calls her fiance all upset and his response was basically, I don't know what you want me to say about this. We'll talk when you get home. It did not go well. She needs a new job and a new fiance, and yet has no plans to get either.
