OH OH! We had my husband’s dad’s old Star Wars action figures that my husband grew up playing with as cake toppers. We’re both crazy Star Wars fans. We decided I’m R2-D2 because I speak with strange sounds and he translates, so he’s C-3PO. We decided to go with them versus Han and Leia because we liked that our…
That sounds like every church party I’ve ever waited on. Seriously, I’d be much more open to the outspoken Christian crowd if any of them ever tipped well, but I have yet to encounter one who does.
Well, I mean, he’s not wrong. Men and women do have different brains. Everyone has different brains. Because everyone functioning off of one, solitary brain-like hive mind is some science fiction shit we have yet to achieve. One day, though. One day.
It reminds me of channel scrolling on the radio and stumbling upon a Christian station, listening for a second and thinking “oh wow, this is an abusive relationship... oh wait, nope, they’re singing about God.... Yup. Gotcha.”
Anyone else genuinely wish there was a tipline or something for when you run a card at Starbucks? Once I stopped waiting tables, I never carry cash unless I’m going to a farmer’s market or on vacation. I always WANT to tip, but go to places like Starbucks or Dunkin’ so rarely and it’s always a “Oh, there’s that…
Wisconsin Republicans have really bad luck with them liking bands and bands not liking them, see Scott Walker and Dropkick Murphys.
One of the best ways to spend a day. I once went and saw 3 movies back to back alone because, eh, why the fuck not?
Genuine question about this stuff. I haven’t experienced much of this at work, at least not in my professional career (definitely happened a lot before I was out of college) but I love to do things like bake and bring it in for my coworkers. The closest I’ve ever been to being asked to do this was when a fellow woman…
I’m from the south and fled to the north as soon as I was able because I really couldn’t take the bullshit anymore. When I find myself missing it, I feel stupid, but this piece was a really excellent way of saying everything that’s good and bad about the south. It’s a complex relationship to have with a physical place.
Even if you were tall, it may not have saved you! I'm 5'10" and I didn't hem my most recent bridesmaids gown, which was floor length. We had to go up stairs to leave the ceremony space and I kept catching the edge of my gown on my shoes and stepping on them. Thankfully, the bride let me add straps to my gown (since my…
I was MOH for the world's most chill bride. This gal is one of my best friends that I've known since we were like 5 years old and grew up together, she's the bomb. The day of and before the wedding, things were going wrong. Had to move the ceremony inside because of weather, her husband left the marriage license at…
I worked overnight shifts at Steak n' Shake (where dreams go to die) a few years back when I was in college. We made 5 bucks an hour, so more than the tipped minimum wage, but still 2.50 less than minimum wage, and had to: seat everyone, serve everyone, cash out everyone, make milkshakes/desserts, run drive through,…
We kind of did both? We had a traditional registry because our towels were all ancient, our dishes didn't match and our knives and such were all hand-me-downs, so we used it to get some excellent kitchen stuff (I cook and bake CONSTANTLY so it's all gotten a workout.) But on our wedding website where registry info…
Is that shade? I feel like it might be shade. Can Kara Brown tell me?
People at your Target, apparently
Am I the only one who likes John Hamm so much more now? Like, I never DISliked him? But now he seems super cool and my panties hit the floor so fast they're halfway to China.
All I could think the whole time I was reading this was "I hope people who donate get a refund in 5 years when these two are strangling each other in divorce court."
I just start yelling at people "you asshole, my MOTHER (or husband or sister, etc) just DIED! How DARE you?" and watch their face fall as their day becomes terrible. It's fun.
Your wedding experience (at least on this front) sounds identical to mine lol.
