Oh dear:/ I feel compelled to say that your mom did not get accidentally pregnant with you. More likely some arrogant Doc old her this because he was also a Stupid dick.. But then I wasn't there, so....

It’s not Mrs. Cromartie who should be embarrassed. It’s her husband. She’s not the one with ten children. If all goes well, she will have four, which is a lot, but sometimes you get nailed by birth control failures. The excessive reproduction is his fault, not hers. His post-surgical tests should have shown whether he…

My mother had the unstoppable womb. She got accidentally pregnant with me after she was told she wasn’t able to have anymore kids aside from my older sis. Then she got her tubes tied...but got pregnant with my little sis anyway. So she burned those suckers but had ANOTHER pregnancy scare in her 40's.

Ugh, to not feel excitement for a pregnancy with a partner and someone you love must be terrible. For both her first two pregnancies and now this one. Although, tbh, when I saw the teasers for the reality show I super rolled my eyes at the situation. However, I wish them nothing but success raising all of the kids and…

Is this just California that has that law? Because so many of the yoga studios and dance class spots offer class cards, and they all expire in about 9 months to a year (which I thought was a reasonable amount of time to use a 10-pack). Shoot, my 6-class card for LA boxing -purchased on Groupon- expired in just 3…

$34 for ONE class?!?!?!?! Sweet Baby Jeebus, that’s a lot of money to ride a bike spiritually.

Osmosis Economics. If you’re in the presence of someone with a lot of money, that money will surely spontaneously transfer over to you.

“Waft over” economics. You still don’t get the money, but you can smell it if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

wait so this editorial board works near some of the richest people in the country in the OC so does this mean that they also can be paid $0.50/hour

I still kick myself for being too young to know how not ok the harassment I experienced at the restaurant I worked at was. Instead, I quit because I started having panic attacks.

I’m just waiting for the day when you get a story from someone who had a customer bring in a Foreman Grill and ask for raw meat because “the chef doesn’t cook it well-done enough so I’ll just do it MYSELF”.

That person exists. They are out there, somewhere. And they are terrible.

Nowhere was I arguing that the story wasn’t stupid. It’s not a Pinkhams law thing. If the lady knew there was a chance of cross contamination then she shouldn’t have eaten there. And bringing her own toaster is hilarious and absurd.

My posts are responding to commenter saying that cross contamination at that scale is…

I’m calling some some sort of sexual fetish on the chicken wing throwing thing.

yeah, doesn’t pertain directly to the story, since the customer was just bat-shit crazy and not really suffering from celiac disease, but most people who actually do suffer from celiac disease (not speaking for them all, obviously) would probably rather places not offer gluten-free products when they don’t give a shit…

I look my cat in the eyes and tell her “I love you, fatty.” And she feels like a queen when I do it.

I have to deal with this issue all the time. My child* is extremely handsome and I tell him this every day. But I sense he is becoming arrogant from the prideful expression on his face. And some say he is spoiled since I let him jump on the table all the time.

I tell my dog that she’s the prettiest lady in all the land every single day. But only because it’s true!

I'm fine with people telling their kids they're beautiful as long as it's not just the girls getting this treatment. Kids definitely notice when the girls are largely complimented with "pretty" or "nice" while boys are complimented with "smart" or "brave".

Yeah I’m not seeing what the issue is to get worked up about here. If it is that he didn’t cancel class, would perhaps the University who did not cancel classes in response to this threat not be the better focus of ire?

So he didn’t refuse to accommodate student’s safety? He just said he’d hold class (I guess in his mind in defiance of the bullies or whatever) and students were free to come or retake the test later without a penalty. And apparently the University didn’t cancel classes so... I don’t know. This doesn’t seem nearly as…
