    I got wrecked at a bar one snowy December night in 2011. I allegedly walked “stumbled” outside and slipped on ice and my right ankle touched the pavement it bent so far. I woke up the next morning with a lampshade propping my right leg up. I guess my Boy Scouts childhood came in handy and the “be prepared”’motto.

    I just ordered new contacts using an insurance I haven't used before and that was a ridiculous amount of hoops I had to jump through. I am convinced they made that difficult on purpose to try and get me to give up.

    Good guess! But no. It’s looks like a mini Big Dipper but unfortunately missing a few stars.

    I try not to backseat drive her all the time since it'll only lead to arguments, but the most maddening thing my wife will do is leave the wiper setting on way too high when there's only a little rain, to the point where it makes an annoying squeaking sound.

    Back when RainX became a thing I was in middle school and one of my friend’s was bragging about how his dad had put some on his windshield “and he wouldn’t need windshield wipers.” I was riding with him and one of those summer storms just started dropping buckets of rain and of course even with rainx you couldn’t see shit without the windshield wipers. He refused to put on the wipers and claimed he could see perfectly and it was kind of horrifying.

    My favorite part about umbrellas is how they will keep you dry walking to your car but as soon as it’s time to sit down and get the umbrella into the car they will cover you and everything else with twice the amount of water they repelled.

    At my job, final drafts of demands/letters/etc. go through 1-2 people before they get to me. We have a nurse practitioner that summarizes medical records for a settlement demand. She's a nurse, not a writer, but instead of just using the "tab" button to begin paragraphs, she just presses "space" like 4-5-6-7 times, and never the same amount. I've tried to explain how much easier her life could be by using the "tab" button, but she refuses.

    This mild annoyance really triggers me.

    in today’s edition of “the New York Times overly-obfuscating the language for no reason whatsoever…”
    (… As heard on their podcast, “the daily“)

    “Authorities are blaming the collapse of a major bridge in Baltimore on a cargo ship that had lost power moments before it collided with the structure.”

    It’s a term dating to English mariners from the 1600s; while they were likely racist, I don’t think the term itself has a racist meaning

    Spick & span dates back to as early as the 1600s and is derived from naval origins involving nails and wood. So racist.
