I'm excellent with trivia (huzzah for having a bf that loves bar trivia contests!) and whenever people comment on it, I just tell them that I read constantly. That is pretty much the sole reason I retain weird, random facts. Constant ingestion of written material.

Ugh. My friend's registries (there were several) were filled with nothing but play things. Video game consoles, bicycles etc. because they'd lived together for many years and already owned a house so they had what they needed. I mean, maybe I'm old fashioned (which seems weird) but I always thought a registry and…

I did some quick math and realized that if I were getting married, I'd have a grand total of 37 people to invite. And that includes my extended family and friends, most of which wouldn't want to come or wouldn't be able to come. So, I'm assuming my list would be around 20 people. I'm not entirely sure if that's…

When I hear someone use the words 'personal responsibility' I just shut down. I know that whatever follows is going to be terrible. It's a version of 'I'm not racist, but'.

I met my bf on OKCupid, and this was after spending my 20s using online dating off and on. Nothing ever stuck and I went on about a million first dates, got stood up a ton and had quite a few very vocal, very public rejections. My favorite was when a guy broke up with me on our third date (while waiting to see a…

Just to jump in, until recently my phone did not give the option to block phone numbers. Now it does and if, god forbid, I ever have to date again I will use it liberally.

Well, when their bank account gets hacked and all of their money disappears I hope they just nod their head and think 'well, it was MY fault for putting my money in a bank and starting an online account'. And not ask for that money back.

That was literally my late teens and early 20s working in the automotive industry. I couldn't get away from them (3 different shops, all the same) and I think I may be permanently fucked up emotionally because of it.

If I were 14 and miscarried in a bathroom at school, I think I know myself well enough that I would have run the fuck away and hidden. Especially when the cops/firefighers/helicopters etc. showed up. I'd have noped the fuck right out of there and never told a soul.

My ex tried to pull this on me. I was perfectly fine with trying an open relationship, but he vetoed ever.single.guy I was even remotely interested in being with. The only one's he ok'd? The ones who were in the army and stationed overseas for years at a time and his friends that were either already married or I…

Yep. And even if you HAVE sick/PTO/vacation days, many companies are 'use it or lose it'. Considering you have to get your time off approved, they can easily decline it, then wait for the time to run out so that you don't get to use your days at all. They disappear and that clock starts allll over, and considering…

Oh, here in the US the working class is just the pre-rich. If they aren't rich yet, if they only worked hard enough they'll be rich at some point so they refuse to do anything that would actually HELP themselves if it does anything negative to the rich. Because they will be rich one day. And why in the world would…

I'm not married, but I think my boyfriend would disapprove if I wanted simple cardstock with 'LET'S DO THIS SHIT' and our names scrawled in crayon for our invitations. My Mother, however, would love it.

My sister wore this exact dress in maroon for her Junior prom. I still think it's amazing.

My voice is very similar to hers and I have to purposely make it a bit more 'feminine' when talking on the phone at work...I've had FAR too many weird comments with one guy actually telling me I should think about being a sex line operator.

Yep, it's amazing how different women can develop. A very good friend of mine is 6'1 and fairly thin, but she didn't show at all until about a month before she had her son. It bothered her SO MUCH because she never got to wear maternity clothes and during her shower there were lots of whispers considering it just…

I got in trouble in 8th grade for wearing shorts that were too short. Now, my shorts were in no way too short, I was just 6' tall and lanky so EVERYTHING looked weirdly inappropriate on legs that were 36" long. So, I dressed like Laura Ingalls Wilder for a few weeks. I think that actually annoyed them more than…

I was usually up at 4am or so, but that's because I lived on a ranch and had to do chores before and after school. A friend of mine was on the Water Polo team so she was up at around 3am, did her chores, made it to practice by 5:30 and then school started at 7:15. Mind you, we lived in the sticks so it was a 40…

Yep. I'm 31 and right in the middle of my friends age-wise and they're juuuust starting to get married. I don't expect babies to happen for at least 5 years. They all wanted to finish school and start careers before getting married and I don't think starting a family is really at the forefront of their minds right…
