Ok, but it seems like you have not been to Manhattan Beach. It’s not like what goes on in Malibu.

It’s not a private beach..?
Eh - I have no love for the eyelash extension lady per se, but the airbnb thing is getting out of control in some areas. It’s good for the owner - not good for the rest of the neighborhood in many cases. My neighborhood’s a mess because of it. Available rental housing for people who actually live and work here is…
There’s one in my neighborhood, on a street full of gorgeous little Craftsman bungalows with mature trees and beautiful landscaping. One guy in the middle of it all was doing his own ‘renovation” (read: hack job) for YEARS. All hours of the day and night. His front yard was full of heavy equipment...some disused and…
One of the more ridiculous Jez takes I’ve come across. And that’s saying something.
...ban hamburgers?
My thoughts exactly. Maybe that’s what she’s embarrassed about.
Oh, no. Wasn’t thinking about that. Duh. No, that’s extremely craptastic.
Came here to say this. I don’t think I’ve ever had a job that didn’t involve such a thing.
Same. Found myself on the wrong end of SIX LAPD guns for accelerating too fast away from a stop sign and waiting a half a block to pull over where it would be safe to do so. I do not make eye contact with them anymore. Period. I’m sure there’s some ‘good ones’, but I’m not interested in sussing them out of the…
JFC. I’d never actually watched a full promo for this thing. It is literally nothing but slo-mo women in bikinis. I could forgive it if there were even ONE hot shirtless guy. But nope. It’s just a college boy’s wet dream. What was the ratio of men to women who bought these tickets?? And also - fuck everyone who thinks…

I have a bump on my nose too. It’s not enormous, but it’s noticeable enough that throughout my life people have wondered aloud if I broke it at some point. When I was younger I used to dream about shaving it down. Now I’m in my 40s and have really bad sinus problems—like debilitating—and have been to several ENT…
Yes - “self-care”. Terrifying.
Same. I sometimes point at the trash and yell to the person, “Oh! Looks like you dropped something!” My friends hate me for this. But It’s just so fucking entitled (someone else will clean up my mess) and disrespectful to literally everything and everyone around them.
YES. And, honestly, I’m not shitting on PAs — I get that they’re basically on the lowest rung -- but let’s not deny that lots of them are feeling themselves when they’re on these production crews.
Seriously. A production company once tried to deny me *egress* from my apartment one weekday morning before work because they were filming a tv show right on my front doorstep. I was like, “You’re kidding, right?” I mean, I’ll wait a few minutes or so, but 30? No.
I believe it’s a Lloyd Wright house - the Mayan one? But I DO love your story...it gives me ideas...
