That was my first thought! Those pictures are so blurry!

Oh hell yes I have a bad roommate story.

In college, I lived with a girl who I had known since birth. She was basically like my cousin. I knew she was quirky and cheap, but I didn't think about what that meant in roommate terms. Well. First, she had pets that she didn't take care of. I ended up adopting both her cats when we split up. But the cats were fine…

I had a math teacher in 10th or 11th grade who was really into sneaking financial lessons into our word problems. She made sure we realized how difficult it is to pay off even a small loan once it started racking up interest; we discussed all the things to consider when judging the cost-effectiveness of two options,…

I don't think Donald is taking it well being onstage as opposed to his usual perch

I'm with you. Manners are free and take minimal effort, why not practice them? I've never heard someone say "Ugh, I can't stand Becky, she's so POLITE AND CONSIDERATE." But then again, I always assume people have their own shit going on so if I can make someone feel a little happier (or respected), I like doing…

The expectation that everyone sees you, knows your needs, and understands the whole complex system at work in any given scenario and we can all act together in a choreographed demonstration of mutual interest is highly appealing but batshit crazy.

And please don't just stand there when you get off. Even if you aren't completely sure where you go next, you've gotta at least move so you aren't blocking the escalator anymore. I've witnessed so many collisions.

Question, is etiquette the same thing as manners?

Is this sarcastic? I'm so confused.

I seriously can't stand when people text/facebook during conversations/meals like they're somehow awesome at multitasking while simultaneously being awesome at being in high demand. Be present in the fucking moment, people.

I'm with you on everything except the escalators. Stand to the right!!!

What about - checking facebook or Instagram during the middle of conversations! All notifications should be turned off, in my opinion. AND someday I dream of the day it'll be socially acceptable to shove out of your way anyone walking and texting/facebooking/instagramming/facetiming/etc.

Terrible story aside (and it's definitely pretty terrible), the men I know who work in nursing prefer to just be called a nurse rather than a "male nurse."

Truth. There are many local bakeries around me who know how to do a proper cupcake with the right frosting to cake ratio. Also, they're real bakeries and diversified with their products, so dessert trends don't really harm them when the bubble bursts (or souffle collapses, to make an appropriately sweet analogy).

I could not taste the difference between the devil's food and the white cake, to be honest, because the cake had so little flavor of its own.

Agreed.

This is why Crumbs has failed, and it is only partially to do with the eternally changing trends in desserts: Crumbs cupcakes are horrible.

So I guess Tom Brady's stats don't count the same as Tony Romo's stats since the Patriots have been so good and the Cowboys have sucked?
