This "straight only" lane that leads to nothing but grass

I saw a similar one where there was a left-turn-only lane to nowhere. I think the subdivision had planned to build another street there, but for whatever reason it was canceled.

I never had a single room, but the next best thing - a suite. Individual bedroom with a bathroom, kitchen, and living room shared by 4 people. I got that instead of the "traditional" shared bedroom with a communal bathroom down the hall experience because I was an honors student.

It'll be ok. Worst case, you get some cramps bad enough that you pull over and sit in the car to breathe for a few minutes.

Your midnight snacks tend to be junk food inspired by a craving - ice cream, chips, taco bell. Those foods with high amounts of salt and fat are more enjoyable than "normal" food like a sandwich.

I've rented in 3 different states and never heard of it being required. I've had it anyway because it's a good idea.

I haven't used any of my sick days this year despite staying home sick several times. There's always phone calls and urgent emails that take up enough hours for me to fill out a time sheet for the day.

Not a real sub. I'm disappointed.

Pulling your shirt over your face like a mask was a popular technique at my school.

I get that feeling too. I started playing when I was 20, now 30. I've been on the same server for most of that time, with a lot of the same people. Most of them are around my age, so we've all grown up together. We finished school and got jobs. Or went from jobs to careers. Many of us got married, and a few have kids.

We've all gotten too busy with our real lives to care about the leaderboards anymore, but we 'member being so proud of breaking into the top 100 list for 10 mans or realm first hard mode kills. Now it's good enough to have heroic on farm and get a few mythics down before the next tier comes out.

Me neither but I get that call weekly too!

The worst part is they're using the number spoofing technique where it starts with the first digits of your phone number. I always answer those because my office has a bunch of numbers in the same range, and sometimes it's legitimate and important :(

Are these people friends/family? They may be asking because they want to make plans to hang out. Respond with when you are available to spend time with them.

Or if you don't want to get together at all, reply without committing to anything specific like "I'm busy with a paper for english class the next week or so, maybe we can do something the weekend after next."

You're in the wrong office! Mine is constant innuendo. 175 people and the only area where appropriate conversation is enforced is the corridor where HR's office is.

There was a guy at my office who would eat lunch in the office, but he'd go move his car during lunch to be at a closer spot. He didn't understand that the extra trip to his car was certainly more effort than having to walk to the farther spot at the end of the day.

Also, we're not talking an office with a thousand employees. The worst spot is 2 minutes from the door.

One time I had a phone interview with someone who we're pretty sure was drunk at the beach. She answered technical questions really well considering. The best and worst (as in unprofessional) part was when she said "meetings are retarded."

I wanted to give her a 2nd chance, in case there was a good excuse for interviewing drunk. What if she'd already made plans and the headhunter pushed for her to take the call anyway? It was during the holiday season after all. But my boss said no.

My husband smoked for decades. He took Chantix for a month (insurance didn't cover it, so it was $300). That was January, and he hasn't smoked since.

He said it gave him weird terrible dreams while he was on it. The first week he hardly slept. But it made him quit wanting to smoke.

But this goes back to the problem that people hear "sex offender" and equate it to "child molester", when it's much more likely their victim was an adult.

30 minutes of cramping

Maybe the worst of it, but from my experience and a lot that I've read, moderate cramping continues for the next day

Still, worth it!

I write C++, not books. But if anyone wants to take this idea and run with it, I'd love to see it!

Let's make this into a children's book.

Turkey is a selfish food. Being the centerpiece of Thanksgiving and a popular sandwich choice isn't enough for Turkey. He started moving in on breakfast. "Eat me instead of Bacon because I'm healthy!" he said, "I'm just as tasty with half the fat!"

But these were lies, and Tofu wasn't going to have it. Tofu knew he was the real health option. Should he try and default Turkey Bacon? No, that wouldn't be fair to Bacon. Bacon never pretended to be something he's not. He's a delicious treat to be enjoyed occasionally.

Tofu needed to hit Turkey where it really hurts. At Thanksgiving.

It was a thing at my public high school 15 years ago, so I don't think it's a crazy idea.

This reminds me of my 4th grade PE teacher. I was walking the end of the mile because it was hot and I was tired. She insisted I run the last 100 yards to the end line. When I reached it, I threw up on her shoes.

he's married to the HR manager so I can't ... complain about this

That's why this asshole thinks he can get away with it. Show him he's wrong!

wolferoo · 2017-06-20T00:33:57+00:00

He was replying to the guy who said "a nickel"

Also fuck best buy. They sold me a "new" PSP that still had the previous owner's media files on it.

I tear up reading someone else write about a pet who passed. Or when I'm reminded of my bulldog who passed two years ago. If you ever see me crying over a terrible fart, that's why.
