I have legitimately spent at least $50 in the past year buying things at cvs for people or giving them money because they were haggling over less than .50 and holding up the line. I just give them a dollar and say ‘look, you made money, can you leave?’.

My Oma used to hang those pictures up in her house because ‘this damn family is just so unphotogenic’. When my partner visited for the first time he asked who the people in the pictures were and I had to tell him ‘stock photos, my Oma is a bit weird.’

With the ring? Because that’s a perfect melding of form and function.

Yepppp. I’m currently doing the job that took 4 employees to do just 2 years ago. No raise or bonuses, of course. And there are only 4 of us that are salaried, which means we get to pick up the slack from the rest of the company who are hourly employees and CANNOT get overtime. It’s gonna be a tough 2018 for them…

OH MAN I HEARD THAT INTERVIEW.

It’s not. I grew up in shops, my Dad’s been a working mechanic since he was 13 years old. Started working at his shop when I was 12 and ended up managing a group of quick lube places by the time I was 20.

My soon-to-be Mother-in-law asked me if I had a ‘dress code’ for our upcoming wedding and all I said was ‘Hats. Like, Kentucky Derby, Southern Church and Royal Wedding hats.’ Apparently, this was not an appropriate answer.

My mom was like that with me. I have a picture of her 7 months pregnant with me in a bikini and it looks like she ate a big burrito. And she’s only 5'6, thin and I was a GIANT ASS baby. Apparently, she carried high and partially in her ribcage? I’m 6'2 so I’m hoping between my long ass torso and her genetics I’ll…

THIS.

Mauve everything *shudder*

Wait, is SHE the one trying to make cropped flare pants popular? Because of so, she is making it IMPOSSIBLE for this woman to find pants for her 6’2 frame without them being crop flares or skinny. BRING BACK BOOTCUT JEANS

I always just end up depressed. I haven’t bought clothing in a brick & mortar in probably 3 years because it’s impossible to find clothing if you’re over 6' tall and not super thin.

I dipped my toes into wedding dress shopping recently and went to 3 stores....and no, I don’t want a sweetheart neckline, strapless with beaded bodice.

Not only that, they have a consistent tall section, which I LOVE. I keep an eye on sales and clearance and I can usually manage to get 2 or 3 pairs of tall jeans, a cardigan, a few layering tanks and maybe a few shirts for under $100. I made an order yesterday and got a tall lady wool peacoat for $25. I know it won’t…

I had a guy, on our first date, ask to see my hands. Then he sighed and said ‘good, you’re not high maintenance. I can’t stand women who get their nails done.’ I left, and got my nails done that weekend.

I’ve had the soundtrack to Hamilton on rotation for a looooooong ass time and tried to get my bf into it to no avail. We watched Moana and he was fucking starry eyed about it and I just said ‘the dude who wrote the music also wrote Hamilton...’ and he finally gave in and listened to it.

Yep. Numbers are correct and I’m still grossed out. They’re having their first baby and everyone is super excited but I’m just thinking ‘SHE WAS 13 DUDES, WHO LET THIS HAPPEN’

Ha, my mom wanted a ‘girly girl’ so bad but every time she told me I was ‘unladylike’ I would just go out of my way to do exactly that. She eventually gave up and embraced my weirdness. Although, my great grandmother was absolutely appalled that I wore ‘long pants’ and showed my armpits on tank tops. She ended up…

A high school acquaintance of mine recently posted on Facebook about how happy he was to celebrate his 11th anniversary of dating and 3rd wedding anniversary with his wife. I thought it was cute until I realized she JUST turned 24 and he’s 35.

whenever the husband pisses me off I threaten to buy a ‘live, laugh, love’ decal and put it above the damn couch.
