Now I'm kind of bummed out, because I thought the size and boldness of that comment seriously contributed to its awesomeness. It would have meant more to me if it was intentional. Either way, good show.

I would actually be on a mad hunt to find and buy this right now - no matter how many thousands of dollars it would cost - except it's not an Oxford dictionary. And I don't even want to be seen carrying a hollowed out Webster's that I use only to carry my lip gloss...

Yep. This.

I did my undergrad in Business - you had to transfer into it after completing a year of pre-reqs like Calc & Stats. To get in to business you need something like a 3.4 in your first year, and you have to do a full course load. I've heard from faculty that they intentionally make the first year pre-reqs particularly…

I know. I clicked on the article ready to agree that I'd be considering shooting up the place too if people danced to Gangnam Style at my wedding… and then I realized it was real. So tragic.

But that's an entirely different situation than going on 'dates' with one of your friends' boyfriends. No one is saying you can't have guy friends, but there is sort of an unspoken rule of friendship that you don't make a point of spending time dining with your girlfriend's boyfriend. It's just asking for trouble. …

I would say these are all legitimate rules, of course with exceptions, like all rules. They should actually be:

Hmm, I planted mine in pots over the summer and it produced so much I could never use it all (for the most part it's just me - my husband works out of town). When I moved the plants inside for the winter I put them in smaller pots and they're still producing faster than I can use them. Maybe you need to start it…

This is still the ridiculously expensive way. Miniature herb garden on your windowsill is the way to go.

I am soo excited for almond nog. I did not even know this existed! As someone who doesn't eat eggs… THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY EYES!

But again, all this depends on the entire world being like you. Keeping the armrest where it is supposed to be (between two people, as if as a barrier to divide the seats and prevent people from just sprawling out wherever) prevents the people who aren't like you (and believe me, there are a whole lot of them) from…

You're right, we are going in circles. But mostly because you aren't hearing what I'm saying. To summarize:

Again, where do you get the impression that I see them as being a bitch (or a jerk, as you've said in a previous comment). I just don't want people in my space. And people who assume that because I am not using the space they are therefore entitled to it are rude in my opinion.

But again, if she said no, she would not be the bitch. I've never rudely said no - but I will say no every time, whether or not I'm planning on using the armrest, because I would prefer to protect my space. This does not make me a bitch, nor does my crossing my arms make you entitled to that 3 inches of a personal…

Or, in the alternative, they could stop trying to inconvenience everyone else because they're uncomfortable. I didn't say they were doing it to be jerks, but I am saying that they are doing it knowing full well that they are invading my space. They are assuming that I am either completely unaware that the space I…

Just cause I'm currently watching the Law and Order SVU episode where the priest molests children after seeking help for his predilections, I'm going to share what I've learned from George Wong (who, granted, is an actor not a real psychiatrist). If you wish to stop yourself from a behaviour, the solution is not to…

Ok, I believe I've prefaced this with enough explaining, but let me try this one more time. I don't care if you're fat. I have no problem with fat. What I have a problem with is strangers touching me or invading my space. My issue with most people (in my experience) who ask to have the armrest up (most don't ask,…

Umm… that's exactly what I did say I would do in such a situation. I'm not even sure how you heard that I would try to physically harm you, especially seeing as I made a point of saying I would not do that.

You're ignorant. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it not true. I personally feel a lot like the poster you're replying to, and for your information I do avoid malls and fairs and any other place where there will be a ton of people bumping into me and avoiding my personal space. Does that…

I did clarify with my edit that I wasn't speaking to you, and that I wouldn't slam down an armrest. My comment was an attempt to clarify my initial anger at being asked to put the armrest up, which is what you responded to. But sure, take the anger and run with it.

Again, I'm not referring to people like you who…
