I mean, I liked this as soon as I read the first line. Having read it, if anything I think you went easy on her xD

Ohhhhhh noooooo....

I can sympathize with friends SOs being dicks. My friend’s boyfriend once told her that she should make a move on me because obviously I would reciprocate and then he’d have his proof that I was only friends with her because I wanted to fuck her. And she ended up marrying that asshole.

Well she sounds mature 🙄. The baby manners book was inspired haha.

Petty bitch that I am, her baby shower gift was a book on raising children with manners.

This is a straight up scene out of a Netflix Limited series. Get cracking and write a script!

Yes I do indeed recall them! So much work and heartfelt love put into them!

My poor dad was the victim of my terrible taste, unawareness of time periods, and eager enthusiasm at least twice.

Once upon a time, my best friend (a guy, completely platonic) got married. Then I got a real, grown up job. These unrelated events found me trying to catch up to years of generous gift giving from a guy who had a real grown up job for a lot longer. (He got me my first vibrator, which I know seems to make it seem not…

Haha very kind of you. But my social intelligence at this stage of my life was basically non existent so I did not recognise this was not a smart thing to do, and when even my friends were like “don’t do it” I did not heed their warnings and wore the subsequent mortification.

Just piping up to say that one of my co-workers today told me that she just found out what a fax machine was last year. I about wilted on the spot.

My first husband gave me a CD player, A big expensive toy he knew damn well I didn't want. (I wanted nice, big new bookshelves to house the volumes stacked in piles all over the apartment) I opened it on Christmas day, pasted on a smile for the benefit of the in-laws at whose house we were spending the holiday, and…

(Last time this was done heaps of people posted about shitty gifts they’d received, not that they’d given, which is interesting too but not the same thing. Read the header, this is about personal embarrassment today, people!)

Caveat: deeply aware that most trafficking happens inside the family or a trusted circle. And so it behooves everyone to be aware of their surroundings, both trusted and untrusted.

If I had a quarter for every white suburban woman who claimed that her kids were almost kidnapped/trafficked while shopping I’d be a very wealthy woman.

In reality, no one wants your kids.  They’re brats.

She did talk about how not clean cut they are. This was absolutely racism, and they gave no reason for her to think they were going to kidnap her kids. Also, you might also be a racist if you think how she reacted was in any way reasonable.

I did a reverse Becky/Karen today! O yes I did!

Unless you have an HOA. We don’t, thankfully, but I have friends and family that do and some of them sound downright nightmarish.
