I've had a coffee table from IKEA for nearly 20 years...

Reality vs perception. Ikea is not cheap, nor is it cheaply made. Try again.

the earth is 70% water and these creepy youtubers still thirsty

i have an irrational hatred of pickups. i just thin they're tacky and make dresses look like comforters. eurghhhh

My uncles glued pink hearts all over my mother's new blue Malibu (in the '60s). She didn't have time to get it cleaned off before leaving for the honeymoon and when she got back she found that the glue had baked on and eaten into the paint and left spots all over. Her insurance adjuster shook his head and wrote it up…

Totally. Especially because pizza can be delivered.

I did not attend this wedding, but an old worker told me about hers.

Ok, now this was around ten years ago or so. When I was a young Marine, my entire unit was invited to the wedding of one of our Sergeants. The wedding was fairly nice and had an open bars so everything was going great. The ceremony went off with no issues and we had over 200 marines in attendance, which is saying…

Worst wedding I've attended?

My grandfather's marriage to his second wife.

First off, my father refused to attend, and would not acknowledge the fact that my grandfather remarried. As rude as that sounds, my dad actually felt bad for this woman and my grandfather is actually a true asshole. EVERYONE is talking about…

Highschool friend's wedding at a country getaway/resort(ish) type of place:

Holiday wedding at a lovely winery surrounded by rolling hills with two GIANT idiots. Everything that the Bride and Groom planned was excellent, tasteful, and beautiful. Let it be said that the two massive ass-hats are friends of the Groom.

my wedding:

The only time I got upset with anyone in the process was when the woman I went through to order our invitations misspelled my fiance's name. When the boxes of very nice invitations arrived and I saw the mistake, I totally freaked, but I was alone in my apartment. I checked myself, called her immediately, told her what…

I can't write the whole Wedding From Hell story, because the details would identify the bride or groom, so I'm changing some of them so I can share this with you (the details are superficial and not exaggerated). Here is the setup:

A number of years back, a man I worked with got married. He invited people from work to the reception, but not the wedding ceremony saying that it was for family only. Fine, whatever. We arrive at the reception, which was being held at a lovely old octagonal pavilion style building. Inside, they'd set up velvet…

This probably won't count because I missed the wedding but was invited to the reception. I had been sleeping on the floor of a house that another friend was staying at with a girl whose last name was coincidentally and appropriately Blitch - on the other side of the tracks in the pretty ritzy suburbia where I grew up.…

It was punch, the wedding cake, and some sick joke canapes (triscuits + cheese).

So many things to tell..I will try to sum it up but it is going to get long and weird.

This isn't insane, but still one of my fondest travel memories.

This is actually Mr. BallofStess' insane travel story, but its so good I have to share! When he was 16, his family went to Greece for a summer vacation. One afternoon, on the island of Crete, he, his mom, and his dad rented a car and drove to a local beach for the day. As it got to be dinner time, they packed up and…
