My grandfather was a decent man but a blackout drunk. He never hurt anyone or said cruel things, he would just disappear for days/weeks and comeback shaking and with screaming night terrors from WWII. He was a professional boxer and remained huge and muscular even into his 70’s but was still a very gentle man. I think…

I too am ashamed of the way I thought of the girls who were victimized. I think I was judging them as a way of convincing myself that it hadn’t been happening to me too.

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Jesus Christ, Peanut Lady, your kid has an allergy serious enough for you to be toting an epipen around, how the fuck do you “forget’ his allergy? That poor kid.

i also love this random swedish cover...

Once, I had the flu but didn’t know it yet. I drank a bottle of chardonnay and ate a bunch of pineapple (don’t ask). I listened to Toxic at some point in the night. Later, I became violently ill and vomited bright yellow vomit for the next 12 hours. I then spent the next 8 hours dry heaving. The entire time, that…

i haven’t watched that video fully in so long. that video puts “bad blood” to shame. that video puts all videos to shame. i’m having trouble following the plot though. the guy she hooks up with on the airplane was an undercover spy? and she was an undercover flight attendant? she stole a phone from his pocket but did…

I wish her family had played Khia’s “My Neck, My Back” instead.

Your mother and your coworkers aren’t nearly as nice, smart, considerate and kind as you think they are.

Work poops are poops that you get PAID to take, though.

Or you just read the back of the shampoo/bodywash/conditioner bottle

I mean, a lot of aunt’s co-workers thought her husband was a good guy and that she wore the pants in the family until finally he lost his temper in front of them and punched her so hard she flew down a flight of steps at work. So....maybe the face people put on in public, particularly with those the only see from time…

He seems to have forgotten that part since he thinks the only “odd” part of their relationship is the age difference.

My skin was crawling by the time I got to the end of that paragraph.

UGHHHHH my eyes melted out of my face when I read that then my face melted off of my body then i died.

See, though the way he’s phrasing it suggests any power she has in the relationship she has because it was granted to her by him which is in itself problematic.

About 8 years ago, Dallas to somewhere Carolina, I had the misfortune of seeing a father beat the shit out of his 3-5 year old daughter for hours. He shook her, punched her, slapped her, verbally abused her. All the things. He was completely wasted and the flight crew served him over and over and over. It was the most…

Ok, so I hope this doesn’t get lost in the grays but here it goes.

I was on a flight to Fort Myers via Boston from Buffalo, NY. During my layover in Boston I situated myself at an airport bar and plugged my laptop in (wasn’t legal drinking age yet). There was a couple getting loud at the bar and it appeared they were…

a very religious young man shamelessly flirting/trying to convert my sister to evangelical christianity

Would have to be a tie between a 2 year old kicking my seat the entire flight from Phoenix to Omaha, and getting hit in the eye with a toenail that was just clipped from an old man sitting across the aisle from me.
