I had to read this a couple of times before realizing you must mean your husband’s mom, not your best friend’s mom. I couldn’t figure out why on earth her opinion would mean anything.

haha, it wasn’t so bad when taxes in Massachusetts (where I live) were 5%, but now they’re 6.25%, which is not at all a round number. I just use a calculator if I need to be really precise for some reason.

I don’t think Canada does either. And in the US, I think it’s because taxes can vary so hugely, and on a micro level. Like, each state has their own tax rate, but individual cities will sometimes have their own tax rate on top of that. So any business with more than one location would have a hell of a time showing the…

oh weird! I always thought it was a MA only thing. We don’t get it off, since our main office is in NY, and so I always think of it as “the marathon is today? crap, my commute is going to be hell” day. But that’s just me.

I thought the worst pick-up line I’ve ever gotten was on a party bus where the dude said “wow, this driver is terrible, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a vagina”. And then when I stared at him silently, he said “sorry, I’m bad at flirting”

Who wakes up a sleeping person? Unless I am on a train, and this is the last stop, you do NOT wake me up.

I work in an office of 35. We have 5 Mikes, 3 Gregs, and 3 Dans, and 3 Joes. I would MUCH rather see more names like those on the list in the video. At least I would know which coworker was which.

I don’t understand this. I’m pretty sure the first time every single child was screamed at by their parents was for trying to talk to them while they were on the phone. Getting yelled at by one of your parents for that is up there with, like, receiving hugs, in terms of common childhood experiences.

If it helps, I got your sarcasm
