Ugh, that sucks so much! F*ck, I'd still be bitter about it, too. That's bs. Glad to hear your life has gotten so much better since then!

Uh... because it's bullshit. I'd still be angry, too. I think our mothers are related somehow. Hugs.

Did you go out with the asshole boyfriend from 10 Things I Hate About You?

Absolutely, and thank you.

Reading this was heart-breaking, and I'm so glad you're out of that relationship. I hope you're doing well now! Internet hug?

It is an "Ice Luge". Basically, a plastic mold that you fill with water, freeze and the use the resulting block of ice to serve alcohol by pouring it down the chutes. Or something.

Thank you, and everyone for your kind comments. Living through it and coming out on the other side when I was mired so deep and could see no way out has brought strength and clarity. Thank you to all the Jezzies who've unknowingly helped me along my daily journey. Years later, I'm making sure I'm better every day,…

Um. What is that?

What IS that?

He was seriously one of the most arrogant people I've ever met. He thought he was the BEST.

OH MY GOD. The headshot. Your story changed my mind. Because I have to admit I came in here all self-righteous like, "Actually, there's no such thing as a bad gift. There are great gifts and then there are gifts that aren't really to your taste but still show that someone was thinking of you and cared enough to try to…

I created a burner account because this story is so mortifying. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, then marriage for over 20 years. No matter how I toiled and sacrificed, nothing was ever good enough, including gifts. Circumstances conspired so that I ended up jobless before a Christmas some years ago,…

OMG.

YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN GET PLINY?!?! So jealous.

My worst Christmas memory also includes my grandmother...the very last one she was alive for. My father and I drove through a blizzard to pick her up and bring her to our house as she had cried that she couldn't be alone on Christmas. We get back to our house and are opening presents. I hand her one and as she takes…

Yeahhh, this is just one of the MANY ways she was spiteful and terrible. she's the kind of woman who sends candy to diabetics and sent my mom a Shari's Berries for her birthday...my mom is allergic to strawberries.

Oh, man. This one is GOOD. Your grandma is special.

I have a goodie! Three years ago, my grandmother on my mom's side decided since my sister and I didn't have children, she wasn't speaking to us. Mind you, I was 24 and my sister was 21. Both very single.

And it's such a bad place to be drunk. Those lanes are really slippery.

Some of the drunkest moments of my life have been when I was at a bowling alley. They don't fucking care how much they serve you.
