Toolbag Wednesday #26: Compiled Miscellany of Snark

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I hate a lot of things. Besides the obvious things like Speidi, sex offenders, and people who do bad things to children, puppies and/or trees; I hate lots of random things too. So for lack of a more productive use of this Toolbag Wednesday, I’ve compiled a list for you, which also makes this the [...]

Baby Shower Bamboozling

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Can someone please explain to me what the hell a “Couples Shower” is? Because I just don’t even know anymore.
My friend Mara, the same one who got married in all kinds of annoying ways, who went AWOL after ascending to the state of wifedom, and who is now in the family way; has sent me a [...]

I go to Victoria’s Secret. I get fitted for a bra (don’t get too excited boys- no nudity or boob fondling is involved), which is generally a sad experiment because each attempt seems to yield a different result. 32B. 34A. 34B. Triumph! They’re getting [...]

Just Think of “Oliver”

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Last July, my boyfriend was laid off, then hired back a week later- albeit with a demotion that has taken him seven years back in his career with a major cut in pay and removal of any bonus options. I didn’t write about it at the time or since because he specifically asked me not [...]

Dear Bad Mood Customer

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

On Saturday, I hopped on the bus to mail a birthday/ Christmas present to a friend, but when I arrived at the Post Office (ANNEX!), I was shot down. The whole two-story building’s operations boiled down to one lady behind a desk just inside a door-front, asking “Does this already have postage?”
Seriously, how would that be the [...]
