Sidenote: I really need to watch “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” again as an adult so I can confirm this. I haven’t seen it since I was about 12.

Agreed. I also have an issue with the fact that he did it behind his wife’s back. Yeah, I know things were different than and worse than they are now, but shit.

Mine too! Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It took me a LONG time to realize that he genuinely believes the bullshit that comes out of his mouth. I used to question my own sanity as a kid.

I have a Russian coworker with zero filter who enjoys proclaiming “Oh, look, she’s EATING!” because I’m petite if she sees me ingest food. One of these days, I’m going to take my lunch and shove it in her face. She is ALWAYS commenting on whether or not I’m eating, my body, and my business. She’s the type who asked my…

Narcissist?

I know all of that. Just conditioned to use the term “intellectual disability” as a special ed teacher ;)

I guess. But pretend for a second that it’s your ex who just WON’T give up, and it changes from kind of sweet to kind of creepy/irritating. However, I mean, I guess we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.

But the thing is, she wasn’t institutionalized until the lobotomy. Did she have an intellectual disability? By all accounts, yes. And we certainly handled that differently back then. But she didn’t become institutionalized until after that lobotomy, which to me is a much different situation. I don’t know. I find the…

My bad. I just walked in after working for 13 hours. I’ll make sure to complain in the appropriate venue next time where my similar but not equal problems are allowed to be vocalized.

As a teacher...I feel the need to give this all the stars.

I didn’t say it was the same thing, but when I walk into normal adult clothing stores and try to buy things for work, and a 00P is too big, that’s a problem (and it’s a vanity sizing problem, but that’s another thing). I have to literally get every single pair of pants I buy altered (and not just length). All of my…

Seriously. I teach children. I am on my feet all damn day and often work through my lunch and forget to eat, because that’s when I can pee/make photocopies/call parents, do 10,000 other things. I have zero problem maintaining my weight, despite stuffing my face with cheese fries many times, because I am…

I love the actual TEACHING that I do; and I love working with the kids. However, this is EXACTLY how I feel about teaching right now. I am married to my job, and it’s incredibly thankless. In order to keep up with the current workload, I pretty much have zero work/life balance or anything that resembles much of a…

I mean, it would be cool if I fit into adult sized clothes, too. I’m 5'2" and petite (well, not in my ass, but my upper body is tiny). I’m swimming in a lot of adult clothes. My tailor is my best friend. I have to get a ton of shit altered. I know I’m short, but I am still a grown ass woman, for God’s sake.

I have the opposite problem, but because of fat as well. I’m 5'2", very petite on top (24" waist) and COMPLETELY pear shaped. My hips are 37", and I have a round, cellulite covered bubble butt. While I do like having a butt, having one this large with such extreme proportions makes buying pants an absolute hell.…

Okay, I’ve been busy as fuck lately and am a white chick who doesn’t know what “woke” means, but I had no idea that was what the deal was with that Rihanna song. I admit I haven’t really loved the song when it’s come on during my commute, but it makes so much more damn sense now.

I clicked on the article and couldn’t find it...did it say where he was driving? Was it a road that has frequent pedestrian/cycle traffic? If the speed limit of the road was 55 mph, common sense would indicate that it was NOT a pedestrian friendly area, would it not? I say this based on personal experience as a NYer…

Inching towards someone in a crosswalk to save time...I’m guessing you’re not a NYer? That is called literally every day in NYC...and I’m a frequent pedestrian and driver in that city. Same with speeding through a light turning yellow...unless it’s a red light camera. Honking excessively? Again, just another day in…

You don’t live in NY, do you? Carry on. And 75 in a 55 is not insanely fast. That’s highway speed. Try driving the actual speed limit on a NY highway or parkway and see what happens. 75 MPH is called my daily commute, along with every other damn NYer driving alongside me (when we aren’t in bumper to bumper traffic due…

I actually think that going out in public with Amber spoke VOLUMES without saying words. There’s a reason they say actions speak louder than words. We don’t know what she said to her husband in private in response to his Amber Rose tweets. Quite frankly, that’s none of our business. Perhaps I have this perspective…
