I’d rather see a woman nursing (including possible seeing OMGSH! her nipple!) than hear a crying baby. Why is this STILL going on?

Potlucks are fine. Put people who can’t cook in charge of booze and it’s fine.

Yeah, that's kinda what friendship is all about. Even at our family dinners everyone brings something because my 70 yr. old mother should not be expected to cook everything: but then everyone likes to show off their culinary skills anyway. Maybe this reader has a general dislike for people. None of us can be…

I <3 potlucks. I’m going to one with strangers tonight.

I have a love/hate with potlucks because I love the concept (for all the reasons you describe), but they stress me out SO MUCH. First figuring out what to make, then worrying that I made it ok or “this tastes great, but it looks bad”, spending too much time looking at other people’s plates and the dish I brought,…

Don’t listen to this nonsense! I just poured my heart into a peach cobbler for an end of summer BBQ we’re attending in a few hours. I never get to bake huge things for our little family so I NEED potlucks to act out my baking fantasies. Ohhh...the elaborate cake I would bake for your birthday...

Screw Kara, I love potlucks. If you’re the petty type who’s comparing who pays for what and getting pissed because someone is spending less money than you or getting an easier dish, then yeah, you’re not gonna like potlucks because you’re that person.

Perfect gif.

I love potluck parties - happy birthday!

I think in situations where there's 20+ people then the way to handle that would be to ask each person to bring enough to serve 8. There would be absolutely tons of food to go around even still.

Eh, I wouldn’t worry about it. I always offer to bring something to functions because it’s polite. If it’s a big get together, like more than 30 people, I think it’s not very fair to ask guests to bring food for that many. Idk I mean if someone invites me over and is giving me some kind of food or booze i feel like…

Oh no! You must cancel because a cranky writer in the Internet says they are bad. But I say potlucks are great. And why not put some stress off the host? You are a busy person, no doubt, and it is your birthday. Friends should lend a hand.

This is awkward. My birthday is next Saturday and I’m hosting a potluck dinner.

My onetime beloved roommate got three-timed badly by a jerk and afterwards she would only refer to him as Evil.

Or as my sister and I used to refer to her ex, “the one we don’t speak of.”

He likes you too... as long as you’re not one of those Christ-killing Jews. You aren’t, are you?

I loved that people bought their album to smash it. People are stupid.

that natalie maines/bush thing was bullshit and so unfair
