I have finally found my people; thank god it’s not just me. The snoring and jump-flipping are new developments, and one or the other of us usually ends up leaving and sleeping in the spare bedroom. I can’t imagine he’d ever get on board with completely separate bedrooms, and I don’t know if I’m there yet, but my god…

Just exactly how do you know what most women want?

Patent law. I’d bet my next paycheck he works in patent law.

And I LOVELOVE you for posting this video. Bless.

Have it your way. You’re making the most of your Pinkham’s Law win, I’ll give you that.

I’m just having a hard time believing you’re willing to die on this hill. Sure, many people can be at fault in the same story, to varying degrees. And many people are in this story. Why do you feel the need to defend the worst ones? That’s a lot of empathy for a couple of asshole drunk-drivers.

The only, and I do mean ONLY, time I did this is when I waiting for a prescription at the pharmacy, carrying my 5 year old who was about to puke, and I jumped the line to ask where the bathroom was so he wouldn’t puke all over me and the store. And I apologized as I was doing it.

How did he know they were driving until he actually saw them get into the car?

I appreciate that, more than you know. I came in stepmom to 4, 7 and 11 year old boys and was flying blind there for a while. (Dad has full custody.)

I somehow doubt she leaves MURKA!

::raises hand:: I do. Whenever I made something new, I made sure there was plenty of something I knew they liked to go with it. The rule was, three bites. Three bites of anything new, and if after the third bite you still didn’t like it, you could fill up on everything else, but that was dinner, and we would be having…

This is true; my mom had some in the house when I was a kid. It was like cough syrup, and helped to coat your throat to soothe it. In theory, anyway.

Aww, mine does that, too! So cute.

I have a Rottie mix now, and yes, she presents as a little aggressive; she isn’t, and just needed a little bit of doggy socialization. The situation I was talking about above was very, very different. She was absolutely aggressive, and came very close to biting two people, one of whom was a police officer. That,…

0/10. Try harder.

Aside from any of the other arguments that have already been made, did you read the whole thing? Because the big reveal was that the only reason he said all those things to her was because he thought she didn’t speak English, and hadn’t understood anything he said. And he was then embarrassed and avoided her; almost…

My husband drove a Ford F450 with a hydraulic-lift trash bed for work; he got asked to move stuff all the time, despite that what it was actually used for was to remove waste from new home construction. (Pro tip: never look in the 5-gallon paint buckets at house under construction if you don’t see a port-a-john.) We…

Should we, as normal, empathetic, non-sociopathic people stand up for other when they are being mistreated to such a degree? Would it help at all if the people in line, or at other tables around these assholes demand they stop being such douche-tanker-dick-wads to their servers?

Maybe the implication is that all the good Christian women in the neighborhood are stay-at-home moms or similar, and thus have lots of time for going out for coffee whenever, as opposed to just in the morning on the way to work? That’s my best guess.

You did your best, and gave Cheddar as good a life as he could have had for the time you had him. Ignore the jerks, they don’t have a clue.
