I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who eats something disgusting, even while thinking, "Fuck, this is SO disgusting," and then somehow feel victorious that I ate the whole thing.

because Jim Henson finds it offensive. #notallmuppets

THANK YOU, RICHARD NIXON!*

*Nixon started OSHA. Seriously.

I worked at Applebee's for almost three years in my hometown of about 22,000 people. I was working full time as a hostess and the to-go server, and was also working full time in our local junior high school in a classroom for troubled kids. I'd get to the school at 7:00 in the morning, work until 3:30, go home, change…

The worst boss I ever had, and I've had a few over the years made us stay open after a fatal hit & run involving a child occurred in front of the restaurant during brunch. I came in to bartend the evening shift at 4pm and had to make my way through all sorts of police tape and media vans, since there had been a…

in hs I worked with a bunch of other teens at a busy cafeteria. This is Indiana, where these things exist in place of restaurants. All us guys worked in the back and the girls worked the line. My job was anywhere from dishwasher to pots and pans. We worked hard, took lots of smoke breaks and stole fried chicken coming…

Normally, I find reading BCO a cathartic experience. This week, I don't know what happened. My boss at work is being a total douche and work has been especially hellish. So many of these stories reminded me of former work experiences. I'm battling depression but still going to work every day (I'm type 2 bipolar). …

Four at the same table? No, but mention it when you order. A group of ten that are sitting at a long table, but scattered all over the seating arrangement, yes. Three couples at one table, their four or more kids at another table? Yes. Essentially, just say you'll have separate checks from the beginning if there are…

In my opinion, the cat does resemble Elle McPherson.

From TheChive: "One of the photos depicted a girl named Anne Marie in a dress who had lost weight, the photo had no text accompaniment whatsoever. As it turns out Anne Marie used to suffer from anorexia."

He's just checking out Clayton's ponytail.

I look extremely Jewish (because I am Jewish), though I'm a practicing protestant, and thus I don't follow kosher laws.

Ever have somebody wish you a Happy Hannukah and then see the bacon in your shopping cart? It's aaaaaaaaawkward.

Am I really supposed to tip this floral delivery guy when I didn't even know he was coming to deliver me flowers that I didn't even buy?

I just adore you. 30% or more. If you don't want to tip, keep your ass at home.

I found a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom wastebasket. Two years after my vasectomy.

About seven years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I was lucky in that it was fairly isolated so they just chopped that sucker out, but I was devastated by the treatments. Just.. so so sick. An old friend of mine (we'd shared a really shitty apt in NYC in my early 20s and during this time she and I had had a…

In the summer of 2013, I had spent 8 Very Long, Very Hard years in graduate school and was a mere two weeks away from defending my Ph.D. My monogamous husband of 8.5 years went over to visit our closest couple friends' of 5 years house to drink and play video games while I worked on all of my dissertation shit.…

I may take the cake for cheating stories. Let me set the scene. When my son was born, my husband had been acting strange, but I chalked it up to pre-baby jitters. After 2 days of labor and a health baby, I was exhausted. We went to sleep the first night and I woke up to my husband texting. I asked who he was talking…

My mom was trying to get back in shape after her 4th kid by walking around the neighborhood. She repeatedly saw the same woman walking at the same time as her and so they eventually started up a conversation and became walking buddies. They both talked about their husband and boyfriend, thinking nothing of them…

how is it you can see the screen?
