Unless you have mastered time-traveling, I think you mean 2016. :) (no snark intended)

Agree. Usually a red flag is something like abusive or narcissistic tendencies. Being rude to waitstaff, for example, would be a red flag. Traveling for work is just par for the course.

I love Vonnegut. :)

Interesting. My boyfriend views “seeing each other” with greater weight than dating. After we had gone out a couple of times and slept together, he said we’re no longer dating, we’re seeing each other - as in, not seeing anyone else. I was unclear on the difference before he said that, to be honest. It’s all so…

Clear and succinct. Quality writing.

#NeverForget

Oh my god! Good for your friend for getting rid of him! What an ass. There is absolutely no reason to treat anyone like that - especially someone who is providing a service to you.

I like to think that he does.

THIS.

That’s just ridiculous. Own up, FFS! I’ve made mistakes like that - it’s totally not a big deal. Best thing to do is admit your mistake, laugh it off and learn from it. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for people to admit they mad a mistake.

I wish I could give you more stars for this.

+1 for Mallrats and Dogma! Also big tipper is a good thing in my book. I’ve never been a server but my mom waitressed/bartended for most of my early childhood so we relied on her tips. I think that a person reveals their true self in how they treat people in the service industry.

I think this is a good idea, especially for young kids. And especially if the phone gets lost/stolen.

Same. I have the Mirena coil to control heavy bleeding/cramping and regulate my hormones. My friend has it to control her endometriosis. But a bunch of old white dudes just don’t fucking care.

Have done this and can confirm it works.

True. I am American but I live in Ireland. A couple of years ago, I was laid off from my job of 9 years. I had to apply for social welfare (unemployment) and I was so ashamed to do it. My Irish husband could not understand why. He said, “you pay into the system, you are entitled to your money! That’s what it’s there…

Exactly. More KFC, Mr. President? Please, go ahead!

Sorry, I tried giving you a star and Kinja took one away instead. This happens to me all the time. But yeah - plagiarizing work is like spitting on the sidewalk??? WTF?

Same. I just finished a degree in Ireland and it was drilled into us not to plagiarise. 0 tolerance. We used TurnItIn to check. They gave us some leeway in year 1 but after that, they were very strict. Granted, this was a B.A. - I don’t know how they operate with Masters or higher at my university, but my friend just…

On the other hand, he is DEFINITELY headed for a heart attack...
