Lately whenever I see anything vaguely post-apocalyptic, I chuckle at how any scenario that absolutely required getting my 3 year old to stay focused and follow any sort of instructions would result in our deaths within about 5 fucking seconds.

Pineapple of fear? Sounds terrifyingly tasty.

Wow, you got here fast. I was wondering when the Offended Ones would show up. Someone who is not visually impaired, who suddenly must become blindfolded, would definitely act in this manner. Seeing that her character is not blind, and the circumstances of the situation don’t warrant time to have orientation mobility…

My nearly 50 YO self is saying “you should have stood up for yourself and not married him if you were not ready, mother be damned”.

I’m annoyed by how many of you didn’t understand the clear reference to “Sk8r Boi” in the hed...

Alright ladies-as someone giving birth in hopefully the next month tell it to me straight what else do I need to know? Should I really stock up on Tucks pads and adult diapers?

Never happen. The Meijer store chain is run by a family that is more religious than the owner of Hobby Lobby.

... the fact that he equates the two in an absolute sense, makes him ultimately unsuitable for the job ... which is not vague or open to interpretive leeway in the way he intends.

Totally.  Normally, if you’re unable to do your job, you’re fired.  If you’re unable to do your job in a way that adversely affects someone else’s health, you should be fired quickly, and possibly exposed to legal action.

I really want to get a job at one of these assholes’ churches, like as a preacher or something, and then just literally never show up because it’s against my beliefs. I’d send a stripper in my absence. 

I have no idea if he’s a good Catholic male, but he’s a shitty pharmacist and should be fired.

OMG good dog! 

GOOD BOY. GOODEST BOY.

Damn, that is a good (but terrifying) one. 10/10 good dog.

Good dog.

This is one of the very best ghost stories I’ve read in several years of these posts, and was also such a palate-cleanser after going through way too much of the not-supernatural scary stuff.

I told a very condensed version of this in a comment to one of the Jez horror story posts maybe about five? years ago, so I’m officially submitting this now. Now with bonus pics. 

The summer after my sophomore year of college, my parents asked me to house sit for them while they went out of town for a long weekend. At the time, they lived in a fairly remote area so it was a bit of a trek, but it was a big beautiful house on the lake and my parents’ pets were sweethearts. First night I actually…

About a year ago, I was dealing with the very tragic loss of my parents and distracting myself with Netflix and Tinder. Matched with a guy who had a shirtless mirror selfie - usually a hard pass for me, but he seemed sweet so I talked to him. I had hurt my back and was home in bed for 4-5 days and he said he was home…

That’s really lovely. Like, I probably would have peed myself a bit in the moment, but after a change of pants, I’d have really appreciated it.
