My mom wore out her BJ Thomas cassette one traveling summer. Around that same time, he performed at a local amusement park and she rushed the stage so he would sign her cassette case. My dad and I watched in horror as security escorted her out.

I hate and love this

I don’t see this as passive aggressive. She admits her role in the misunderstanding and stands up for herself at the same time. Sure, she could have just walked away, but she has every right to stand up for herself.

Completely lost it at, “I have this thing that’s unique to JUST me...”

My mom says it differently every time. ChipOL-Tee, chipole-y (???), chi-Pole-Tay. And the worst part is that she loves foods with chipotle seasoning, so she says it all the fucking time.

Oh my God, I get this all the time when I ask why the laundry is in a giant pile on the fucking bed.

I'm saying this to every store clerk I see forever.

Nevermind, sorry! I see you have given in. Good.

My toddler firmly disagrees.

Thank you for this. As someone who suffers from severe depression and a very negative body image, I find it really difficult to look in the mirror these days. I had my daughter 18 months ago and the weight fell right off, but I gradually gained it all back. I'm always really worried about being judged by everyone but…

When I met Bill Clinton, I was really nervous and was trying to be cool so when we shook hands I said, "Heyy, Bill.." He blankly stared for a second and then smiled and recovered with "Thanks for coming out," and moved on.

Does anyone else think he looks like David Sutcliffe (Rory's dad from Gilmore Girls)?

I am so impressed by this.

If we can't find them here in Pittsburgh, we will make Ben and Jerry's runs to nearby states to fulfill our ice cream dreams. Believe.

We should probably just combine NJ and Florida into one megastate and just forget about it.

Western Pennsylvanian here. I've never seen anything like this. I'm not disputing that it happens or something. We rescued our beagle from the woods though!

New Jersey?

I slightly teared up imagining him getting excited for razors. I'll never understand that whole 'can't get someone something nicer than what I have' mentality (especially in this case). That's what it's supposed to be about.

:( I'm sorry that you had to deal with that. My family has varying degrees of mental illness (or assholery) too. And I totally agree! I creep Pinterest pages, but mostly I just listen to people and make mental note of shit they like. It isn't hard, but sadly not enough people do it. P.S. I got four fleece blankets…

Came here to post this. Monroeville mall also has little mall security compared to the others in the area. Not sure if that played a part or not.
