She tried to talk her parents out of it since they started doing it in 2009. By now there are over 500 pictures posted. As the person in the pictures she has every right to decide how they are used/shared. When parents don’t want to respect your rights simply because you are their (adult) child, you have to bring the…

It's not about loving someone it's about being seen as loving. All image, no substance.

I’m sorry. At least my parents have “cocktail hour” and wine with dinner - which is way more than what we have, so I’m fairly sloshed by mid day and have to nap. The last time I was there, I was sick and spent all my time in the bathroom, so there was “you look good though” when I was visited in the guest bedroom. (I…

Yes, because it’s none of your business.

It’s not just the ring. As a hiring manager for a large company, I also Google candidates and troll FB pages. Trust me, if someone is engaged it will be there.

Yeah but it’s not an objectively dumb choice to drive your Audi to work. It only is once you take into account your judgey coworkers. Not saying that’s something not to be accounted for, but sometimes fuck them. I have no car and I’d drive a fucking Porsche to my job if my grandma gave me one because walking 40…

I had a super hard time getting back to teaching because I drove a slightly pricier car than they assume a teacher should be able to afford. I was asked, in a few interviews, what my husband did, since the assumption was he had bought me my car. I ended up having to say “You see my resume there where I have another…

So....someone who has a grandmother who gives her a car because the grandmother can’t drive it is displaying poor judgment? How is that? A person with a nice engagement ring is displaying poor judgment by not removing it every single day is displaying poor judgment?

How self-righteous do you have to be to willingly take on more expenses when you’re not being paid very much just so some stranger on the internet doesn’t tear you down for not acting poor enough?

This whole “not acting poor enough” Victorian assholery is so gross.

Unless you have a tiny lizard curled around your finger that spits poison I don’t either. Well, to be honest I’d insist on petting it/trying it on.

If you don’t know the context for the choice, then you can’t evaluate whether it shows bad or good judgment. So if you find yourself judging such a choice, you’re making an assumption about its context and therefore are, in fact, judging the life behind it without the proper information to do so.

What would they even assume? That maybe he has a second job? Or that he's smart with his money? Or he received it as a gift? Someone fetch my fainting couch!

Wtf is this, high school? Who the fuck cares if they drive a decent car to work? Oooooh Brad doesn't take the bus, we should all hate him now because we're apparently 15 years old.

Wait wait. Let me complete this.

News flash: Not all of us live in the city. Not all jobs are based in the city. If your grandma has a car she can’t drive, offers you its use, and it makes your life easier, you effing take her up on it. That is not an example of a bad decision.

If a woman stands out, she’s “showing poor judgement”?

Why do you assume there’s public transportation to the job? Where some may consider driving a fine automobile to work a luxury, others see having easily accessible public transportation as one.

“I have access to a car, but it would be poor judgement to drive that car when I could use public transportation!” Is essentially what you just said.

When I was job hunting a bit less than a decade ago, the “common wisdom” among my fellow interviewee ladies was also that you shouldn’t wear an engagement (or wedding) ring—but back then the reasoning was not that potential employers would assume you were high maintenance. Rather, the rumored thinking was that an…
