    You just fell down a well!

    I'll pretend I'm Timmy O'toole and get Sting to sing a benefit for me.

    Worst possible moment to laugh...and you of course laugh.

    An acquaintance was relating a story about how her uncle, an electrician got electrocuted by her father accidentally. Apparently, he'd shouted to him NOT to turn on the 'juice' and the brother misheard him and did. I nearly pissed myself laughing, turned out her uncle died. Ooopsie. And...

    Pettiness

    When someone is dealing with grief, they go through stages, and sometimes they may prefer to be left alone. Yes, he's upset, but also not necessarily ready to talk about it. As has been mentioned, don't spend your nights/mornings waiting for him to contact you as it clearly leads to resentment...

    Those "I'm Fucked" moments.

    Does getting the RROD count? Cuz yeah, I surely felt fucked after that. Especially as my Xbox is out of warranty. Also I'd just purchased Red Dead Redemption. Still feeling fucked as I'd had to lend money to a friend, money I would have used to buy my replacement Xbox. Yup, I'm fucked until...

    "Yeah, that's my ass. Would you kindly get your hands off it?"

    I've had my bewbs and bottom grabbed at various gigs. It's infinitely worse however when it happens when you're on the subway to or from work and someone decides to grope you or worse engage in frottage. The one thing I don't miss about the NYC subways... Even worse was when it happened to...

    Dating a co-worker (but I work at a topless bar)

    The age difference and the fact that you're co-workers isn't necessarily a problem, but I too would be wary of anyone with a kid. I've had men who have kids approach me, assuming that every woman out there must want to help them co-parent or worse, expects you to raise the kid for them. And...

    women: drawn to the man on top of any hierarchy

    I think, just as so many threads oversimplify men, you too are oversimplifying women. I've worked in a variety of industries ranging from Academics to Stock Photography and I while there are a few who will seek at the alleged "Alpha Male" the vast majority of real women don't care about...

    Oh if only I had a Tattoo..

    I had wanted tattoos since I was a very little girl. I have no idea what the fascination was or is. TBH, I don't have much done, but that had more to do with my tattoo artist having to retire and me having to avoid the area I intended to tattoo due to surgery. I've found another artists...

    Things you are sick of hearing

    "I'm a misanthrope" "I'm a psychopath/sociopath" "I have mental disorder X, Y, Z and sometimes W" "No one knows how it feels, except me" "I'm different from everyone" "No you're not" "Yes I am". And other assorted nonsense. Seriously, quit it. You're unique, just like everyone else. And FYI...

    Favorite Pie

    Pumpkin followed by apple.

    The stupidest way you have hurt yourself.

    The list I could post would be WAY TOO LONG, so I'll just share the most recent. I was making gnocchi for the first (and last time, too starchy) and I was preparing marinara sauce. Anywho, I opened a tin of tomatoes and something went 'wrong'. The lid of the tin went right into my middle...

    Your Lies.

    My thing is, lying requires more effort then I can be bothered to expend. If someone asks me something, it's just easier to be honest about it. If it's something negative, there are ways to soften the blow, of course. And if it's something too personal I simply inform them it's not their...

    Did you ever do something in a game that bothered you afterwards?

    Nothing I can think, as I play games precisely because it gives me an opportunity to be bad/evil if I'm so inclined without any repurcussions. I do know gamers who 'struggled' over whether they should save or harvest little sisters. And many said they felt uncomfortable with what they'd done if...

    Habits in videogames.

    I have a tendency to not use cover properly. I have little patience and apparently a desire to see blood shed, even if it's my own. So, if I feel there isn't enough action, I come out of cover and usually get my ass killed.

    Surgery

    My appendectomy was poorly done, so I'll not discuss that experience except to say that it's pretty bad when you show up to other doctor's and they want to know who "attacked" you when they see the scar the bastard left. My spinal surgery was a far "better" experience, despite having...
