Correct, never, because I chose to pay. If I didn’t pay my car insurance but continued to drive, I was in effect being covered for free, because I hadn’t paid. All those people who paid for their insurance, and therefore were being kept in line by the costs and penalties of that insurance, made me able to drive more…

Car insurance is required for everyone, because the people who pay for it cover the costs of the damage caused by the people who illegally don’t have it. That’s how insurance works.

I have had TERRIBLE luck buying sheets from amazon. A lot of the sellers lie about the content or thread count. Plus, sheets are one of those things you really have to feel.

Worst thing to step in? When we were young, my sister once stepped into vomited-up hot dog canine barf. In her bare feet. At a campground, where the public toilets were like forever away, and my parents didn’t want to walk her all the way down there. (From hindsight as an adult, they must have been drinking, because…

I was told by a Baptist friend in high school that she was SO SORRY I was going to hell because I’m Catholic.

FWIW, the non-Bieber version of Despacito is great, and SO MUCH BETTER than the version with him in it.

What really got me was that after losing the “race,” Phelps immediately started saying how the water was SO cold, and swimmers like him aren’t trained to swim in that kind of cold, blah blah.

Same.

And here I’d have bet my spirit animal was a dog.

I have a friend whose husband will not eat any kind of adult food. He eats chicken tenders (dry), a fried chicken sandwich (cheese only), french fries, a hot dog (plain), or an unseasoned steak, and basically that’s it. Not even mashed potatoes, or a baked potato, or au gratin potatoes. Nothing. It’s unbelievable to…

I’ve been vaguely considering moving to NYC from the midwest to work out of my company’s main office, since this is the first time in my life I’m able to do so, and it would help nudge my career to be ‘local.’ But this is the kind of thing that freaks me out as far as my adaptability. I can’t imagine having to accept…

That’s great to know, thanks! I mean, I’m not WEIRD or anything, so I don’t know why I have this concern. I’m told I’m attractive, I have a good job, I have my shit together, I have good hygiene. lol. I guess it’s just one of the many frustrating symptoms of having a touch of social anxiety.

Thanks! Yeah, my extreme shyness sort of precludes me from even just doing the generally accepted “we should grab dinner sometime.” We don’t work directly with each other, just occasionally have a meeting that we both attend, and that kind of thing. It’s just that if the choice is between having a private crush and…

Yeah, no way. I’m way to shy (ugh) to even make my interest obvious. It’s the worst to be shy as an adult! And my friend knows me well enough, at least, that if she was weirdo or gross about it, I’d be FURIOUS. She’d probably be more likely to do something like just mentioning that I seem to really enjoy the video…

Not sports-related, sorry, but I need some opinions from menfolk — and this is pretty ridiculous and childish, but I’m desperately out of practice in the relationship game, and a failure at ‘reading’ men, so I need help!

Let’s share a moment of silence for all the unicorns who died during the decorating of that home...

That part was never an issue for me. Why I got it is so I don’t have to 1) Take off my shoes and jacket, 2) take out my laptop, and 3) take out all liquids. It’s such a hassle, and this just means I drop my bags on the line, walk through the metal detector, and I’m done!

This professor was a riot, too. She always made a point of pointing out the references to sexuality in paintings. Like the Garden of Earthly Delights? All of the bagpipes are visual references to male and female genitalia.

I’m in awe of the effort it takes for these people to completely change how they look like this, considering I can rarely be bothered to blow dry my hair, but... but, and I say this with the highest affection... they do make me feel better about the awful results of my microbladed eyebrows. If they can rock those…

I had an art history professor in college, Dr Perlove, who had received a grant specifically to measure the penis of the statue of David to see if it was of a size equitable to his frame.
