I go to college out of state and when I graduate I want nothing more than to go back to the Chicago area. However, when I was in high school and looking at schools "get the fuck out and as far away as possible" was definitely one of my criteria...

Fair enough

Is "henchwoman" a word? Can we make it one?

Seriously, you have to be a sociopath to do something like this. Gross.

Oh Mardi Gras.... AVOID THE QUARTER, PEOPLE. STAY UPTOWN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR EYEBALLS SCARRED FOREVER. You might see some shit but not as much.

Not me, but my friend. We went to Krewe du Vieux (Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans) and split up, ending up taking separate cabs back to our apartments. Mine was fairly uneventful (other than the cab driver stopping without warning to go buy a beer) but in my friend's cab, 2 people fucked in the backseat, reverse…

Gotta love the CTA....

Same I've used them since I was 14! (They indoctrinated me young...) But I've tried liquid foundations from the usual, Maybelline etc. and Bare Minerals is still my favorite. Doesn't make me break out and doesn't clump all over my peeling skin (Thanks, acne medicine!) to make me look like a monster. I usually don't…

YO PRO TIP: IF IT'S SOMETHING DESIGNED TO EXPAND WHEN WET, IT DOES NOT BELONG IN A TOILET. I say this as someone who has had to deal with sewage backing up in their place of employment all over the floor on more than one occasion. STOP FLUSHING YOUR TAMPONS at least in public bathrooms. If you want to deal with a…

Cue the "JJ Casuals" SNL sketch?

Interesting. I know other people that go to state schools and their student ID is in no way considered a state ID. I go to a private school, they modeled our legislation after schools with similar policies, all of which I think were also private schools. I'm not really sure on the policies my friends at state…

I think one of the major problems with fraternities and sororities being exclusionary to trans members is that most universities still don't understand how to be helpful to trans students. There are a lot of problems with the Greek system and I would love to see some reform at the top coming from their national…

obviously the most reasonable response to not being able to locate the rest room.

I thankfully did not work in a place with a changing room... shudder. Do people think because there's a door that locks it's a toilet? I DON'T GET IT

What I've learned: Always assume the customer is a bigot or racist in some way so that when something outrageous flies out their mouth, you don't explode immediately.

Can we start one of these things for retail horror stories?

When I got my physical at the school health center so I could go abroad, the doctor told me I should take in more calories, a sentiment that no family doctor has ever told me or been concerned with. I asked if my weight was causing any problems he noticed in my physical and he said "No, you're healthy, but you know,…

They have to go to med school, but in my experience at my student health center they couldn't give less of a shit. I'm amazed they bothered with this girl's weight, not because it's so terrible, but because of the amount of effort they actually had to exert with mandatory weigh ins and follow up, considering at my…

Love her. Got to take one of her classes!

I feel that's only fair.
