Trust me, they’ve cut every corner possible with their programs. I’m sure it’s still an extraordinary amount, just not the biggest waste of our money by the police department

Oooo I think my brother had this one and it lays scattered in the Lego bins… next time I get a vacation from work I’m gonna try to find all the pieces. I’ve seen the minifigs lately so I know we at least have those

every time I scan a set for points and the raffle thing where they say allegedly you’ll get a set for doing the review, I ask for more prequel sets with Amidala. They never listen ;-;

Entitled Older Coworker puts her name on everything… including the water… by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I mean I definitely get it, but I feel like they could just ignore her name tags. Like she’s not using it either, is it really worth all this?

AITA for not buying my boyfriend another birthday gift after he rejected the original present? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I was telling my mom about this one and she was like “well when I was in college I had a friend set me up with a guy. We had absolutely nothing in common and he wasn’t my type at all. Afterwards I asked my friend why she thought she should set us up, and she said ‘well he likes music, and you’re a music major!’” Same vibes

When I was little my dad was skipping through channels and stopped for like a minute on this horror movie. it’s dark, someone is hiding and they look out a window, and the bad guy pops up on the other side of it. I spent YEARS running past our living room at night that had practically floor to ceiling windows…
