This has my abuse flags popping all the fuck up. This is a textbook narcissistic thing to do - something “nice” that’s “for” someone else, but executed in a way that absolutely steals focus from her, derails a legitimate accomplishment she’s worked very hard for, all while maintaining this air of plausible deniability…

Every time I hear about a guy proposing during a race or at the finish line, I instantly hate him. Way to make her hard work and accomplishment all about you, dude. Way to not give her a minute to shine in her own spotlight. You ever notice how seldom a guy will propose at his own race?
I also enjoy “Defendants’ response beggars belief.”
While I’ve never done that, I have wrote “Are you fucking kidding me” legal briefs, and boy are they satisfying to write. It’s always fun when you secretly write a brief so that “you fucking idiot” could go at the end of most declarative sentences.
It’s an extremely dry whine, too. Made of only the sourest grapes.
So....in the past couple weeks we’ve had:
Cheerleaders are already living in a culture of harassment and are severely underpaid. It was extraordinarily brave of her to do this, but I worry about her safety.
YIKES!
Working out, like many, many things in life, is worse in the anticipation than the actual doing. Once you’re working out, there’s endorphins and stuff, and it’s fine. But the dread that precedes it? That’s the problem.
Despite the proliferation of “health clubs”, I’m pretty sure vast swaths of Americans do not like working out. I do, but I don’t feel like a trendsetter or a rebel for enjoying it.
After dating a bunch of broke, nice but not hot dudes, I am willing to step up, take one for the team, and date Brad Pitt.
As an avid reader myself:
Maury's lie detector test is the only way to definitively end any arguments.
I am remembering so many stories shared between myself and past female coworkers about weird bullshit we all had to deal with as single women living alone, ranging from really scary stories like yours to baseline annoying stuff like male neighbors who could not read social cues and perceived any interaction as…
If you let the cats in, you might as well get rid of rhythmic gymnastics with the ribbons. Damn cats would never let a routine finish.
I broke my last lease because a weird maintenance lady was found sleeping in the laundry room (it was in a common area) for about three days and the building manager didn’t think it was an urgent need to get an automatic lock on the front door (we had a key lock that no one bothered with). She did fire her, but also…
It is okay if you don’t! I have several older women in my family (50+) who’ve never really dated or been in relationships, let alone got married. They are some of the happiest people I know. Whether you do or don’t couple up, your life will be amazing and satisfying just by loving yourself <3
I choose to be single, because I really like it. And I say with confidence that it is totally okay to be without a partner and you can have a great and fulfilling life. There are lots of pluses to be single, like having total control over your life, making decisions for just you!
