I can sympathize with friends SOs being dicks. My friend’s boyfriend once told her that she should make a move on me because obviously I would reciprocate and then he’d have his proof that I was only friends with her because I wanted to fuck her. And she ended up marrying that asshole.

Just piping up to say that one of my co-workers today told me that she just found out what a fax machine was last year. I about wilted on the spot.

(Last time this was done heaps of people posted about shitty gifts they’d received, not that they’d given, which is interesting too but not the same thing. Read the header, this is about personal embarrassment today, people!)

I had been dating a woman for about a year. I was pretty smitten with her and she seemed to feel the same. She asked me to meet her parents and I was up for that. They lived the next state over so we decided to do a long weekend visit. So we get there, there’s handshakes and hugs, everyone is getting along. Weekend…

i agree, that post made me cringe for the poor customer service gal (i've been in CS for over 15 years and nothing EVER excuses that kind of behaviour. not even a shitty turkey)

My daughter’s 11th grade history class took a huge test, and the average grade was something in the 40's. She got an 85. The teacher told the class that they’d have to write a “blah blah word essay” on the material. My kid informed him that collective punishment was considered a War Crime under the Geneva…

Don’t have anything to add to this one but the story of the woman berating the employee because the turkey tasted bad might be cute on Roseanne but since it’s real life, I would have been completely alright with them telling that mom to go fuck herself.

The amount of shit my mom went through and couldn’t even complain…

Year ten (third year of Australian high school, not sure what the US equivalent would be, but I was 15) a friend and I were talking via passed notes about an embarrassing sexual matter to do with her boyfriend. When the teacher saw and told me to give him the note I took the nuclear option and ate it. This was the…

I don’t understand the ‘school that had previously been used for Black students’ bit. Were there no other students there? Was it segregated?

Omg I want to see this movie! Starring Christian Slater and Parker Posey. 

It wasn’t detention but In School Suspension. What happened was, I wasn’t doing my schoolwork(booooring) and got way behind. For 3 days we were shipped over to the school that had previously been used for Black students. We sat silently at desks and did our work with only bathroom breaks and 30 mins for a boxed lunch.…

Try the Salisbury steak, it’s in season!

The ol’ “It was a joke!” story. This guy’s stand-up routine ain’t worth the two-drink minimum. But seriously folks...this guy needs to be prosecuted! And what’s the deal with fascist voter fraud schemes, amirite? Heyooooo!

Shyster needs to be disbarred at the least and prosecuted and convicted from RICO/racketeering.

Flynn is a criminal and a traitor. Now that we got that out of the way....

My eighteen-months-older sister. What’s that quote - “The bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral.”? Every occasion dominated by her needs, her upsets, her emotions, her memories of being a fat child and teen, badly mistreated by the rest of the family, shunned by her peers - a very pitiable story.

My partner’s stepfather, bless his heart, is a deeply forthright person who still works tremendously hard despite being nearly 80 now. He took on raising two less-than-cooperative pre-teens recovering from the kind of chaotic homelife you get when mum is forced to work three jobs because dad is paralyzed by the drink…

I have fam on both sides that have had a problem with me over the years; apparently it started when I was a baby. Because I was raised in a trad. family I couldn’t escape these people. I think I was in high school the first time my nuclear family had our own extended family free holiday. It was wonderful. I didn’t get…

My noodge of an aunt who last year took a dump with the bathroom door open when I was in the next room.

All of them. Stay home. I'm doing it.
