You just have to outmaneuver them. Burst into the middle of the conversation in an aggressive tone, “Would one of you like to switch seats with me???” And when they say no, say in the same tone, “that wasn’t a question. One of you is switching”. Worked for me on a bus once, although I never needed to do it on a plane.

I do something similar on staircases and escalators - when people behind me have their arms stretched forward so their hands are in my line of sight when I’m facing forward! Like, what the hell are your hands doing next to me???? I immediately slam my pointy elbow down on their hand if it’s summer, or my bag if it’s…

I have Exxon stock I inherited. I always said, it’s my retirement money! It will never go down! People will always need oil!

One of my idiot neighbors had their back gutter fall partially off, and it’s still dangling off the roof TWO YEARS later. Guess what’s living under their roof now?

I had a homeroom teacher who hated me too, and seemingly everyone involved in Key Club and student government. She tried to get me in trouble with the principal for being rude - the main issue of her complaint was I wouldn’t smile at her in the morning.

One of my colleagues managed to run over his own phone with his mower. Like, why did he even have it in his pocket? How could he hold a conservation or even feel/hear if it was ringing?

I watched all of the 3 films for the first time in forever, and remembered why they bothered me so much. The second one isn’t a sequel, it’s a complete remake. And the 3rd doesn’t pick up where the second one left off. It never made sense to me. But I’m loving the TV series.

I thought the Coney Island was a little too wintergreeny. I got the Not your Dad’s as well, but haven’t tried it yet.

YES! He keeps accusing my friend of harrassing him by text, but when called out cannot provide the proof of it. But I’m sure she ninjaed her way into his house somehow and erased the evidence.

People like that never grow up. I have a friend who just resigned because she got a new job, and her whole department mean girled her at the company holiday party. Just in case she needed confirmation she was making a good move.

A friend of mine is going down the same path. Her ex is abusive and crazy and the kids are terrified of him. I’m sure once they hit 18 they will refuse to ever see them again, and he’ll always blame my friend for that. Because everything that goes wrong is always her fault - never his.

Is that in Chicago? That’s where he’s seeing her, I think.

I also call that day “The Day My Mother Gave Up”. She had 3 kids already and was 8.5 months pregnant with the 4th. So she was entitled to an off day. She basically sat in the kitchen chainsmoking and reading magazines all day. Let me sit right on the carpet in front of the TV and fed me all my meals on the carpet.…

My favorite day of my childhood was the day my mom sat me in front of the TV all day to watch the wedding coverage.

One of my colleagues managed to get 2 tickets for $160 each, exactly where he wanted to sit. He was on his phone and desktop, because he heard Ticketmaster was encouraging people to use a mobile app on their phones and were holding good seats. He got them in 5 minutes on his phone, but it was tense since we had to…

I’m from NJ and went on a trip to the Berkshires once, and the thing I was most worried about was pumping gas. I was praising Baby Jesus when I saw stations that had full service and self pump options.

Cream cheese and jelly is a great sandwich. We had them as kids in the 80s and my mom makes a lot of them for my niece who’s allergic to peanuts (so no PB&J)

I was at a concert last Friday (Neko Case!), and this lady jumped up on stage after she left it, to propose to her boyfriend. Hilariously, the audience started shouting out song suggestions to sing. But yeah, the whole thing was very uncomfortable for the rest of us. People were making fun of her in the bathroom line…

Me too! I’ve bought a number of bags at Kate Spade outlets and never had any problems with quality.

Wow, I never knew about the diamonds on the label! I just checked all my clothes and can confirm. I pretty much buy my entire wardrobe at BR and Ann Taylor outlets. But it lasts me for years, I’ve never had any quality issues.
