Are you KIDDING? A giant house, enough money to do whatever I want whenever I want, the respect of other baseball fans, and a hot new dude every spring? Who the hell wouldn’t want that life?

Yes, that’s the difference between “glance” and “leer.”

THANK YOU. I had a platonic male friend I had to stop going out places with because he would literally stop mid-sentence to stare at a girl going by. It’s gross and disrespectful even when the guy isn’t your date, so I can only imagine how terrible it feels when he is.

I’ve never bought clothes at Nordstrom Rack, and when I’ve looked the quality seems to align with your comment, but you can occasionally score a good deal on shoes there.

A co-worker of mine once followed a table out and threw their tip back at them. We were a sports bar and she was the floor server and they had been there for a whole football game, ordering food and drinks with people coming and going and at the end wanted separate checks (which she did, which I would not have) and at…

Yeah, that was my reason for selling to them, even though I probably could have gotten a bit more in a private sale. They made it simple and fast (and safe — I’m a single woman), so I was willing to lose a small bit of money.

I was so pissed when I discovered this. I’m sure that it’s some rights thing, but I don’t want to listen to some lame national announcer when I can have Jon Miller instead! (I’ve tried syncing up the broadcasts with my tv and phone, but they’re always a bit off.)

The benefit of class action lawsuits isn’t just in the awards to plaintiffs, or the high payouts to plaintiffs’ counsel, but in the chilling effect they have on corporations who would otherwise have all of the advantages against consumers. Yes, plaintiffs’ lawyers make a shitton of money on good cases and consumers…

I starred the comment, saw that I took it up to 70, and unstarred for that reason.

When our office was looking to relocate, I was incredibly relieved that they took into account the change in commute for key personnel (we ended up moving only a mile or two down the road from our previous location).

I’m with you — pillows can look nice, but they have to also be functional. No non-useable pillows allowed.

Yeah, I make it clear to the people who work for me that punctuality is important to me. Obviously, I can’t control other cultures or other managers in my organization, but if I’m running the meeting, be on time or be left behind.

It’s so annoying when doctors are dumb about genetics. Like, you have bunions without wearing heels, and I, who wear heels approximately five days a week, don’t have bunions at all. My doctor praised my feet and said I was taking “good care” of them, and I was like “...um, if 4-inch platforms count...”

I’m a Bright Abbott girl myself, but I feel you on this.

Pratt has to be on the list if we’re ranking Chrises, for completeness, but everyone knows he’s last of all Chrises all the time.

Chicago: land of no dishwashers, garbage disposals, and central air.

You just know that Brandon Belt was standing out on first base like “are you effing kidding me?”

I think it’s important to acknowledge, though, that her decision about preventative care was made in the context of her being 76 years old. It seems ludicrous to her to continue with mammograms at her age, based on the cost benefit analysis of the likelihood of cancer and the hard truths about treatment. I didn’t see…

Sure, I get it. We just did a round of hiring at my workplace and I had to counsel the interviewers on my team to look past “likability” to actual skills.

Probably to avoid the question of intent behind the dropped ball. A pitcher could drop a ball and then pick off a runner, so the rule avoids questioning the intent of the drop. That way it doesn’t matter how good an actor the pitcher is in making the dropped ball look accidental — dropping the ball is never rewarded.
