Every time we went to Brownie camp, this one girl would get homesick in the middle of the night and HAVE to have her mum drive out and get her. She’d scream and cry and carry on and not stop until her poor mum drove 1 to 3 hours out to get her. I have no idea why she kept being allowed to come since she never stayed…

Nope. Apparently in some parts of the world you order by weight. Baffling and perplexing. :P

We get people asking for a birthday cake. when I ask, “What kind of cake would you like?” they inevitably reply, “ Birthday cake.” Any cake can be a birthday cake! Birthday cake is not a flavour! Damn ice cream stores selling ’birthday cake’ ice cream... Sometimes, there are also people who ask for a kilogram of cake.

I’ve worked in several bakeries and had children come running into the back while their parent ignores them. My friend will usually steer them out of the danger zone, explaining that we often carry pots full of boiling sugar and pointy knives so maybe watch your child?

The tea is bland, flat and gross. Very strong because the tea is in such fine particles. It can also change so some bags are worse than others because they use scrapings of what is left from nicer teas and mix it all together.

In Canada you get the swill known as Red Rose, or if they think they are fancy, Tazo.

You can also add Joey’s and Earl’s to the list. My sister worked for Joey’s which is also owned by Earl’s and high heels were mandatory. Their hiring policy for women is wretched too. The unofficial policy is, “If you would sleep with her, hire her.” They don’t care if you are good at your job, just that you fill out…

No.

When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I had to move my two cats. I had only one crate and they don’t like each other enough for me to shove both in. So, I figured that I would put my first and older cat, Freak, in the crate since she is a bit higher strung than my other cat. I couldn’t get her in. Legs just came…

Neither. They just tell you how they have removed all joy from their lives.

All the stars. Adopting is an enormous amount of work where you have to prove you are a capable parent and can support the child. I think people who want to have kids should have to go through at least some of that. Maybe not an operation, because that has some icky connotations, but if they follow through with taking…

Here’s an idea: Don’t fucking store the laundry capsules where kids can get at them! If your kid is so dumb they do not understand that things are not candy, keep it on a high shelf or in a locked cabinet. Problem solved. Or, let nature take its course.

I used to go to Old Navy a lot, but stopped when I bought a half dozen t-shirts to wear at work that I wouldn’t mind getting grubby and then after one wash they either fell apart or stretched into shapeless sacks. If the quality goes up, I may shop there again, but I usually avoid fast fashion type places and opt for…

I can’t do my hair.

Murchies is my favourite tea company ever. There isn’t one in my area though, so I order it in. The Number 10 Blend and Russian Caravan are glorious. Beautifully blended and extremely high grade. They even make one formulated for hard water.

I’m not really a fan of David’s Tea myself. I find they skimp on the quality of their tea and just cover it up with too many flavourings. I’m more of an unflavoured kind of tea girl though.

Norovirus is awful!

Oops. First post didn't work, so I tried again. But they both worked.

The vegan/gluten-free/raw/yoga studio restaurant a couple blocks down from where I work makes vegan caesar salads. My friend tried to convince me that it tasted just like normal bacon. She was wrong.

No, but it is a favourite joke.
