I also re-entered in my 30's. Went to a bar, talked to the prettiest girl there. It's now been 8 years of crazy fun.

It's rarely interrupting once in a long-winded sentence, it's serial dismissal and interruption during a collaborative conversation. Imagine this happening to you every week:

Something less horrifyingly dangerous happened at my office. Everyone (mostly women) complained about the temperature. Every day we'd be bundled up in sweaters, coats, blankets, and fingerless gloves. But building management didn't believe anything was wrong. Then last winter we got new bldg management, and one of the…

Or maybe you're a rude-ass interruptasaurus?

I am am the youngest, most junior, and only female team member in our company, and it is exhausting. I'm just in the habit of presenting my ideas to my boss in 6 ways to get him to hear me. He is actually very good about giving me credit in retrospect; he has on several occasions sent out an e-mail to the whole team…

I feel like men are particularly prone to overreacting when it comes to finances. I've always felt like finances were a cold hard truth, when for my husband finances and money are a very personal thing. I'll say "We need to work on our budget" and he hears "You don't make enough money." What??

You know why there's the old joke that "my wife is never 'wrong'?" BECAUSE SHE'S PROBABLY NOT. It's true in my marriage anyway (my husband admits this often...not that it helps in a disagreement).

I mean, I tend to have trouble trusting people smarter than me too.

I really think 20% is fine. I was never, ever upset about 20% — that's the standard. More is always welcome, but not required, even for the best service. And look, if I legit screwed up (like say, forgot to put your order in so it took forever to get your food), I didn't expect 20% at that point! That's cool, I…

Even easier: move the decimal point, multiply by two.

Well, let's see. The cab driver saves me from having to negotiate downtown Seattle, so he gets a tip, check.

An constantly blowing off work isn't sufficient cause? Absenteeism? Abandonment of position?

For me, I will admit that I absolutely do judge when other women use 'pregnancy brain' as an excuse for being a moron in a professional setting or not getting their work done. It makes all of us look bad, pregnant or not. For every woman that just keeps her head down and does her thing while pregnant, it seems like…

I feel so bad saying this but I agree with you. I was pregnant at work, restaurant manager, 6 days off a month and 50-55 hour weeks. Never missed a day, no morning sickness, no snowflakeyness. I still had to put the damned trucks away. And my water broke at work in the kitchen for God's sake.

I get ya. Every pregnant woman I've worked with for the past 20 years has acted like she was stricken with a deadly disease that everyone had to know all the details of. Maybe they aren't all like that (#notallpregnantwomen?) but I have NEVER experienced someone not thinking they were a special snowflake. Just show…

My pregnant colleague is driving me crazy.
