Ha, my boyfriend is HORRID with picking up signs and on our third date we were chatting and I said ‘sooo....you wanna make out?’. I wanted to, he wasn’t making a move and there you have it. Now, if he or I want sex we’ll say ‘so, want to have sex in an hour? I’ll meet you in the shower’ and it will be a yes or no. No…

Yep. I’ve always been straight forward and I have basically been discounted as not being aware of how I really feel.

Even when you’re straight forward signals get confused. I’ve always been straight forward and during my twenties asked out well into the three figures of men...I honestly lost count when I was probably 24. Only 3 said yes, 1 of them gave me a wrong number, 1 stood me up, and 1 said he changed his mind.

Yep. I’ve been described in several occasions as being ‘curt’ and on several more as being ‘a bitch’. The reality is that I’m very short and neutral when dealing with people because I don’t want them thinking I want to take my clothes off. Hell, even then I’ve been told I’m playing ‘hard to get’ and that I shouldn’t…

Actually, this is an interesting point. A very good friend of mine growing up ended up coming out as gay, but in general treated women like SHIT before this because (in his own words) he was pissed off and frustrated that they weren’t attractive to him. He was mad at the women because he felt if they put in more…

I rarely get a thank you, and most of the time my customers just hang up when they’re done, no goodbye or anything. I’ve gotten used to it for the most part because where I live is not known for it’s politeness. Hell, I consider a day where I don’t almost (or actually) get hit by a car an excellent day that should be…

Close by Pismo, and yes.

We call those people ‘Bakersfieldians’. Actually, we used to call them Valley Rats because they would come to the beaches in the summer and fucking destroy them. Beer cans, gas cans, oil slicks, trash, old tires etc etc. just left on the beach without a care. Every year we’d have to organize several beach clean ups…

Dang. The bullies I grew up with (including one who held me down and cut off all of my hair in 8th grade, and another who keyed LESBIAN into my car in 11th grade) are successful, gorgeous and fairly wealthy from what I have seen. One of them is a fitness model, the other has a successful business and two super cute…

As a woman mechanic who thinks babies are kinda gross.... THANKS FEMINISM!

Nope, independently and privately owned :). I will only work for a chain if the only other option is homelessness. Plus, they can't afford me ;)

I applied to an Autozone in my old hometown and wasn’t called back. Sent the exact same resume but omitting my obviously female first name and was asked for an interview almost immediately. Went in, and they didn’t seem happy about meeting me, when the managers seemed super excited over email. They were dismissive and…

I wore uggs for years and years and it confused the fuck outta me when people started using them as a fashion symbol... Because we wore them for mucking out livestock stalls/pens in the winter.

I laughed about it until I realized I wasn't getting interviews or callbacks in my male dominated industry due to using a traditionally female name. I started using a gender neutral name and all of a sudden I was getting 5-10 callbacks a week instead of the 5 a month I was getting before. Many were from companies that…

It's celebrities giving other celebrities awards for being celebrities so they can maybe get more money for being celebrities. It's the worst kind of circle jerk.

Exactly. My boyfriend and I get two weeks each a year for vacation (and that includes sick/personal time so I have to make sure to bank at least 2 or 3 of those days for emergencies just in case) so we don’t really have the time to go abroad quite yet. We have a few trips we’d like to take to various international…

A friend of mine who is super duper white had cornrows when she married her husband at Burning man wearing just pasties, booty shorts and a miniature top hat.

If, for some reason, I ever get married it will be a dark red dress with long sleeves. I’m not a fan of strapless dresses and they’re only pushed because sleeves are hard to standardize and sew. Fuck it, I’ll get married in a fur suit.

My boss at my last gig got his CCP and decided it would be cool to just walk around with his handgun stuck in his asscrack sticking up out of his pants all the time. He even amended our handbook so that CC was ok on company grounds.

I tried twerking because my cousin is super good at it and said she’d teach me but I’m like 6’2 and my knees started hurting and my back wasn’t cooperating and I realized I’m just not cut out for it.
