Are you telling me you don't own a button down shirt or a pair of khakis or something? You seriously have to put thought into "not dressing goony"? I'm so confused. Are the only clothes you own Pokémon related or what?

I'm sorry I will whisper next time as to not overwhelm you.

I feel that you're still being serious about having to go buy a seperate outfit to wear in public without being humiliated though.

Why would you get points for not doing the wrong thing? Isn't that just the baseline of what's expected of you? That's like expecting the police to ring you up to thank you for not committing any crimes today.

You mean you haven't been getting the calls?

You're an animal. Stop eating unripe food.

My dishwasher does a terrible job when there's some peanut butter left on some knives or some mashed potatoes left on a plate. So I have to rinse them well before putting them in the dishwasher which is really ruining my life. We're moving in a couple of weeks and I really hope the new dishwasher is etter than the current one

I just rip a corner off a paper towel and wipe the peanut butter off with that before I put it in the dishwasher. Try that! :)

I don't think it's possible to be bad at washing a dish. You can be a lazy gently caress, sure, but bad?

Dear annoying coworker who I am stuck with for next ten hours, language does not exist so that you can constantly fill the airwaves with your train of consciousness you are not making conversation it is ok for it to be quiet for ten seconds

E: thank you regular patron for coming in and pulling conversation aggro

Also how do you not get the hint that your conversation isn't interesting when I spent the last thirty minutes giving one word responses any time you wanted validation about how cute that one actress from v for vendetta or whether or not I wished I had the super power to stop time so I could take naps whenever Jesus Christ man

I woke up last Tuesday with a stiff neck. I stupidly played 4 games of softball in the next 2 days because our team was in the playoffs. It's not stiff anymore but it's been a week straight of nearly unbearable pain emanating from my spine. I have a $7000 deductible on my health insurance, and I can't afford to miss work or go to the doctor. I would do nearly anything to be pain free for 5 minutes at this point. America!

Have you tried fizzy water? Ever since I started drinking club soda I completely stopped drinking any sugary drink easily. Something I thought I would never be able to do

This. I've always hated Seltzer/Soda Water/Club Soda, but once I tried flavored seltzer (Triple Berry Canada Dry Seltzer to be exact), now I loving love it.

Don't go to Autozone if you have a check engine light. Nothing good is going to come of that. All they can do is give you a generic code that still has to be diagnosed, and/or clear the codes/turn the light off. (Hint: It will just come back on) Neither of those is helpful. Go somewhere and pay to have it diagnosed properly so you can fix it.

Also, most (all?) places now use full synthetic oil, which means you can go 5,000-7,500 miles before you need another oil change. Gone are the days of needing to change your oil every 3,000 miles.

Nah. Just like taxis, they know the best routes to let the meter run.

Uber drivers don’t make more if it takes longer. The fee is set when you reserve the uber, before the ride even begins.

My employer doesn't roll over any un-used PTO at the end of a calendar year so I have to figure out how to smoke like seven or eight days in the next six weeks. And that's already counting me taking the entire week of Thanksgiving off!

I’ve never understood how people treat this as a problem? Just take off whatever days you want. You get to get paid to not go to work, it’s awesome.

Three years of grad school almost completely ruined my ability to take time off guilt-free, or at least to take time off without a good reason to do so. I'll probably just end up taking every Monday off for the rest of the year or something.

This still sounds nice!

It’s worth a shot to ask if they can drop your car off for you. If it’s not too far a drive it shouldn’t be a problem.

If you’re going to have to pay for two rides, you can even offer them $20-$30 to drop it for you, if need be.
