You’re a very pleasant person.

before I was born, my father had an offer for an academic full ride to UCLA, or a hockey scholarship to Ohio U.....Being Canadian, he picked OU, where he met my mom—subsequently marrying her and moving to her home town of... Cleveland.

This is Type A vs Type B. Type A gets a bad knock as being confrontational, when all they want is accurate time-accounting.

People don’t really change. I have one friend in particular that is known as a huge flake. He was set to move in with one of my best friends and changed his mind at 0 hour. In college, he would be your best friend and would hang out and shoot out texts and even reply to them except for weekends when he wasn’t on…

I would rather you tell me no, than tell me you’re going to come and not show up.

Except Trump is arguably good for democracy simply because he derails the Koch Brothers’ money machine.

Trump is funny because he’s either going to temporarily handicap the GOP as a party in the endless run-up to 2016, or he’s going to finally fracture the tenuous coalition that holds the modern GOP together. The former is incredibly likely (as it always happens in the run-up to elections), but I can’t help but wonder…

All that, and the fucker wears a clip on tie.

Don’t do that. It’s crass and beneath you.

I am the friend that plans everything and I feel like I’m herding cats whenever I go on a guys trip because they rarely ever express a genuine desire of what they want to do. It’s super frustrating to go to the effort of making things as easy as possible for people to just show up and socialize and even THAT is too…

Starred based on “pimento cheese loaf lookin muhfucka” alone.

A lot of what gets described as “flaking out” is better described as people not having the guts to decline invitations to things they don’t really want to do. Co-worker invites you to go play disc golf on Saturday, and you don’t really want to? “No thanks, but I appreciate the invite.” And not “Hey, yeah, sure sounds…

Right?! If someone tried to degrade my mother like that (and it’s kind of happened once before and you really don’t want to know about the aftermath from that because I am ashamed) I would slaughter them. Fuck your aging brain cells, if you make my mom feel like anything less than the wonderful woman she is I will gut…

This has happened to me! I clean an office building during the day and at night I come in and clean the restrooms and mop the lobby. Around the time I started, I was mopping the lobby as people were ending their shift. One grouchy old lady mutters over her shoulder in my general direction, “GREAT, wet floors as we’re…

I don’t know how Carlos isn’t ripping her awful senile head off. He is being way more polite than I would be capable of.

Classic. Relevant.
