I've had a handful of encounters myself, and the first part of her story sounds like it may have been genuine. The rest was probably just her freaking out after the fact. I think most of the time when people are screwing around at known "haunted" locations, Ouiji boards, etc. there are already major seeds planted…

In a former life, I spent a few years as a missionary overseas and had a few run-ins with evil spirits and demonic possession. These were some of the scariest experiences of my life. The worst was an unsuccessful exorcism (there were either multiple spirits, or the victim wanted them there, but either way they kept…

No thanks. I'm not brave enough to risk ruining my $200 bluetooth Sennheisers.

I have to agree. I was writing in BASIC before age 8, and while I don't do any programming any more, I credit being immersed in DOS as a young child for much of my success in IT to this day. In fact, when I get frustrated with Windows 8's UI, the command line gets me through.

Getting a punching bag has been one of the best things for me to let go of stress/anger. If you don't have room for a full size bag, get one of these http://www.walmart.com/ip/10284815?wm… They're a lot of fun and really help loosen you up.

My wife can be like this.

We always make our own detergent too. A 5gal bucket costs around $2 for ingredients vs whatever tide costs. Our clothes have been lasting a lot longer since we switched a couple years ago too.

My wife sure is. Any time I'm hoping for a reciprocal back massage, we don't make it more than 30 seconds. I do appreciate her help with ingrown hairs though. They can hurt like hell, and are hard to see/reach sometimes.

The absolute best thing I have found is washing soda. It is in the laundry aisle at the grocery store and is also made by Arm & Hammer. Pour a bunch in the bottom of a pot, add just enough water to cover the stain, and bring it to a boil. As soon as it boils, turn off the heat and leave it alone for at least 15…

I never realized there was such a thing as a wrong way to put the TP on the roll until I got married.

I reply with the Black Fax of Death. I'm sure it does nothing since they are probably using a fax server, but at least it makes me feel better.

During my yearly fire inspection at the office, the fire marshall told me that you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as the end result gets plugged into a surge protector. YMMV though depending on jurisdiction. Also, keep in mind that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Even though I am pro-life, I do appreciate most of the services Planned Parenthood provides. When my wife and I were young married students without insurance it was the cheapest gynecologist in town ($40 vs. $350+ elsewhere,) plus a good source of reduced price birth control.

If you ever need a good laugh on your commute, wait until you notice someone texting and driving. Drop back to a safe distance and make sure there are not other cars nearby. As soon as you see them look down at their phone, lay on the horn and enjoy the hilarty that ensues. Best case scenario, they piss their pants…

Sleeping pills are your best friend on a transatlantic flight. I have a bunch left from a summer working near the arctic circle and that's all that can get me through a long flight.

If it involves flirtatious sexual jokes or touching, then do not pass go, go directly to HR.

Maybe I didn't articulate it properly, but this is what I'm getting at. Try to handle it yourself, but if you aren't comfortable, most HR departments or management would be more than happy to tag along for the conversation or even deliver the message themselves. I just hate when as a manager the first I hear about…

I agree, and even before I was married I stayed the hell away from office romance. It just bugs me when employees have to run to HR or management in order to solve issues that could have been solved amongst themselves. Again, I'm referring to a case where two coworkers have a friendly relationship and one asks the…

I like it. Helps you avoid getting hit by a grey/silver car on a grey rainy day.

Law or not, I've always done it just because it is the polite thing to do. I've changed enough flats on the side of a busy highway to appreciate what they're going through. On another note, I've learned that going out of your way to pull over where the officer is safe while he writes your ticket lessens your chances…
