How to cut in line: DON’T

Following too closely creates traffic congestion. You are the problem.

I always go for self-checkout, even if I have 50 items. Somehow, I’m just faster at scanning everything myself.

There is only one way to cut in line, the equal amount of people allowing you to cut must go to the end of the line.

the secret to cutting in line is to be a really pretty girl, find the nerdiest dude near the front, and then just walk up smiling, and say “thanks for waiting for me!” and then just have a normal conversation.
It works on me every time.

Um, no. F this.

Also, ask everyone behind the person you want to cut in front of because you’re also cutting in front of them. Or you can pull a Lifehacker, aka, how to get away with being a douche if you possess a certain level of privilege and a disinterest in other peoples’ priorities.

I love Lifehacker, but this is a crap podcast. Really good example of where gender diversity is important. Having a married man as part of the panel would have provided some much needed balance and perspective.

As usual, I appreciate you jumping into the conversation proactively to help dispel misinformation about women’s health products online. A few weeks ago, an adult entertainment star reached out to me because we make a menstrual disc (an FDA cleared, type…

We have an old towel underneath us.

You are answering the question of whether or not it would be easier or more convenient. You are incorrectly answering whether it would be safer. You have to realize that.

Don’t be immature about periods. It’s natural, dude. I’m married to an immature guy who is now on his 40s and he’s okay with periods.

When a real life pro Vag doctor tells you, “stop recommending this, it’s not safe”, the correct response is ‘ok, thanks for the input, let me correct that’.

No. What “really bothers” people is that you’re telling women to put shit in their bodies and didn’t even bother checking with a single medical professional. This article was dumb and irresponsible and you should stop doubling down on your defense.

Using subterfuge to have sex the other party is uncomfortable with.

but if you’re trying to avoid alerting a sex partner about your period altogether, this is not a great method
