I doubt this will be seen as I think I’m still in the grey’s here on Jalopnik, but I’m in the same boat! I have a ‘12 Jetta TDI and I really like my car—it was the first car that I bought new and although the buyback is lessening the burn that I felt from the whole scandal, I’m a feeling very unlikely to buy something…

Well, we don’t have a pet or kids because of lots of different reasons, but I’ve basically resigned myself to having to take on all the things that he isn’t capable of doing. As I was explaining up thread, he has dyslexia and I think that is the root cause of his inability to focus and connect dots, etc., etc. So, no,…

I absolutely think you make some very valid points, although it may have more to do with different personality types than it being so weighted towards gender? I don’t know—I do know men that are extremely meticulous, but they had parents that expected that of them, so maybe that is proving your theory. My husband has…

Obviously, this guy wasn’t doing things by rote, as a previous poster explained, this was purposeful, but, like you, I could never fathom someone leaving a child in a seat—until I met my husband. He is the most flighty human in terms of remembering things and once I understood that aspect of his personality, it really…

I had football coaches (years before I got there, so, this was all legend by the time I heard it) get married to students the MOMENT they turned 18 & graduated from HIGH SCHOOL. There were THREE of them that did that!!

“I got you, fam.” is DEFINITELY going to be my new retort!! Thanks!!

I didn’t know what it was! I never saw a trailer for it. But you made the right choice by skipping completely!! It was so embarrassing!!

I don’t know who that show is/was for, but my god, what a flaming turd! I turned it off after 45 seconds.

I definitely think that is some of it, for sure. Although, I was told to question everything, but it was in a history class taught by a very liberal person. I’m from the South, so there is also this authoritarian thing that goes on down there in addition to everyone’s desire to conform. (Oh, and these are the same…

I’m not surprised by this in the slightest. I don’t know what happened to this generation of people as they were growing up—if it was just constant propaganda-ish narrative delivered from the media on trusting everything that was published anywhere—but my father, who is probably only a few years younger than the main…

Oh and to actually answer your question (sorry!), no, I don’t think she was surprised. I think she is happy. She is also one of those girls that takes on the personality of the person that she is with at the moment, so whatever her boyfriend and his family believe is right, that is what she does.

She pulled this bullshit justification of “Oh, if you look at his former politics, he was always a Democrat, he only ran Republican to get votes. He didn’t actually mean what he said, he just said that so that he could get elected.”, which makes me even more furious at her for being so unbelievably naive and stupid.…

Jesus, you have to plan a wedding. That is so much worse. I’m so sorry. And sending you all of the patience and wedding planning ease I can muster. Hope your holidays are uneventful!

There is nothing wrong with abortions and tattoos. Which is why I don’t understand why you would want to vote for someone that sees you as “other” if you have had those things.

I mean, I bought tickets in August under the presumption that Hillary was going to win. They were expensive, although I could probably push the credit forward. But I’m not sure my grandmother is going to be around too much longer. So, I guess not.

True. Unfortunately, it is a contentious relationship to begin with; however, the problem I have is the overriding racist prejudice they refuse to acknowledge. They are also crazy Christians that can’t tell you why they feel the way they do, just that they feel that way, i.e., they were told so by someone that they…

Take all my money.

I’ve got that staring into space and not talking thing down. Throw in intermittent sobbing and rage fantasies and we are the same person!

That is a very good photo. Is it really him or a photoshop type situation?

I agree, Joanna. And to all the commenters, thank you for the first genuine chuckle I’ve had since Tuesday night. We’ll get through this together, right? *starts crying again*
