@Hania16836 It isn't pretty and you won't be comfortable all evening in it. The bride is the one everyone should be admiring; so you're off the hook.

Mother of the Groom Dress This is the dress I ordered for my son’s formal wedding. Usually I am a conservative dresser, just nervous on my pick. I am having the deep v-neck stitched closed 2” up from the bottom. Just wondering thoughts on the dress.

@sciencegirl Ay yi yi!

Meanwhile in Australia

@MikeBales And you will be the one who slips on his droppings. 🤔

I'm letting in the duck…

@it_unprofession Yes. A spine is a good thing!

I just tipped 20% on a bottle of water I grabbed out of a mini-fridge myself. I brought it to the counter. The cashier didn't even scan it. He just pushed a button and spun the POS terminal around. The screen suggested 20, 25, or 30 percent. For a moment, I considered finding the custom tip option. But there was a line of people behind me. The cashier was making direct, unblinking eye contact. I folded under the pressure of a digitized guilt trip. I paid $4.80 for a Poland Spring. I basically gave a teenager a dollar to legally supervise me purchasing hydration. He didn't even offer a receipt. He just spun the tablet back around and looked away. I said thank you. I thanked him for letting me give him extra money. I am part of the problem.

@hr_unhinged Someone is over-managing. Happy and healthy employees do better work. Maybe everyone should use the stairs--you could do meetings while all of you walk together.

Someone took the stairs to the fourth floor today instead of the elevator. I checked the security footage. It was a junior copywriter, walking up the steps at a leisurely, non-urgent pace. I waited by his desk for him to arrive. When he finally sat down, I asked why he bypassed the high-speed vertical transport provided by the company. He panted slightly and said he’s trying to get his step count up. I told him that converting company time into personal cardio is a form of wage theft. The elevator takes exactly 12 seconds. The stairs took him nearly 2 minutes. He argued that he came in early so it didn’t cut into his hours. I reminded him that early time is still company time, it’s just unbilled. I documented “unauthorized biometric optimization” in his permanent record. Then I deactivated his stairwell key fob.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Is he reacting to his reflection?

People don’t talk enough about how scary kangaroos are.

@it_unprofession I agree; they are desperate to keep your money coming and make it too hard to cancel.

Canceling a gym membership shouldn't require a hostage negotiation. I joined a local fitness club three years ago and stopped going almost immediately. Yesterday I finally decided to stop paying the monthly fee. I logged into their app. There is no cancel button anywhere in the UI. I checked the website and it told me to call support. Support told me I had to submit a cancellation request in person. I drove to the gym on my lunch break. The manager looked at me like I was abandoning a puppy. He asked why I was leaving. I told him my personal ROI on this membership is completely negative. He offered to freeze my account for a small maintenance fee. I told him I just want to sever ties entirely. He sighed and said I need to provide a handwritten letter of intent and thirty days notice. I am currently drafting a formal breakup letter to an elliptical machine. I might just cancel my credit card. It seems easier.

@dantypo Good rant. Nobody loves your dog (or your children) like you do, be courteous.

Nobody is required to love your dog. I know I sound like a prick. But stop bringing them in stores. Just last Friday, I stopped in a store and a guy in checkout has his dog and it jumps on me as I walk past them. “Oh he just loves people” they say obliviously. So? I’m having to go to customers and the dog got dirt streaks on the thigh of my pants. And spare me the “if you don’t like it, don’t go in the store” bullshit. If you can’t make it through a store without your dog, it’s not me with the issues. I had a dog. It was a great dog. Best part of our family at times. But I expect NOBODY to have to deal with my occasionally over-excited dog, especially in a public place. I’d never have even thought of bringing a dog (I’ve seen it twice now) in a restaurant. Hell, if a person came over my house who was uncomfortable with it acting up, I’d take him in the other room. And for those with actual service pets? You really should speak up, because the people who don’t have well trained dogs are going to lose you that privilege. *end rant

@8WithaTiara Are you ADD? It can affect a lot of things

one of my biggest faults is that when i ask someone their name I forget to listen to what their name is

@sciencegirl I don't care what people do and call it art as long as they don't expect me to admire it or pay for it

What are your thoughts on Modern Art

@BriannaWu Let dad judge

Ethical question. I was in the hotel gym just now in a dad came in to do weights with two of his children. While he wasn’t paying attention to his son, who was about seven years old, climbed on the treadmill and kept hitting buttons until it was going at 8 miles an hour. Worried he was going to get killed. I warned him to turn it down. He then got back on it and did it again. I ended my workout early and talk to the dad saying I thought that was dangerous and I didn’t want someone a child to get hurt. He said it was fine and he did 8 miles an hour yesterday. At that point, I left and informed the front desk. I said it was their call, but it was my judgment a child could get seriously hurt. Was this the right thing to do?

@TannerBuilds Usually the countertop space is needed, but if the dishwasher was located where it isn't integrated into the countertop flow, that would be a great idea.

Why don’t we raise dishwashers so loading and unloading isn’t such a pain?

@atensnut You ought to see the washing machine you are supposed to put it in!

I just saw this ad for a washable “sofa”!! This has to be the ugliest thing I’ve seen since the 70’s. Please don’t tell me you have one! 😂😂😂

@GovKemp Congratulations to Mr Perdue. May his example inspire others!

@IRSsmallbiz @IRSnews Paying taxes on IRS app, I have recurring problems: (1) the app doesn't alert me right up front that certain web browsers don't work, and (2) the form calls for SSN, which I enter without hyphens, but the site puts them in and flags it as an error!

The April 15 tax deadline is here. The #IRS has electronic filing options, payment options and what to do if you can’t file by the deadline or pay your tax bill in full: irs.gov/filing #Freedom250

@FLCons Weight limits on the route? That's all the customer ordered?

Why is there only one coil on this truck? 🤨 Why would a shipper choose to only put one coil this truck when there's clearly room for more? 🤔

@Oceanbreeze473 I agree, but you wouldn't believe what families fight over !

I’ve often wondered about abandoned houses - why don’t they just give them away if they’re only going to rot?

@Amelia558rs You aren't marrying your friends. As you grow personally, the backbone to make choices gets stronger (and you change friends as you grow 😊).

My maid of honor looked at this dress I'd spent eight months waiting for and said, "That's... not a wedding dress. It's a costume." The words hit like ice water. I'd fallen in love with the embroidery after seeing the seamstress's work on the Tedooo app - she specializes in traditional dresses, and I wanted something that honored my grandmother's heritage. Every flower was hand-stitched, every hummingbird placed with intention. It cost me three months of savings and countless late-night messages about thread colors and placement. Now I'm two months from the wedding, and my entire bridal party is "gently suggesting" I find something more "classic." My mother-in-law offered to buy me a "proper" dress from David's Bridal. But when I put this on, I see my grandmother's garden, her stories about village celebrations, the culture she left behind when she immigrated. Yes, it's not a traditional white gown. Yes, people might whisper. But isn't a wedding dress supposed to make you feel like the truest version of yourself? I'm torn between keeping peace and keeping this dress that makes my heart sing every time I look at those embroidered birds.

@MbarkCherguia The restaurant is absolutely right. One local restaurant owner nearby has the backbone to send customers out who are mistreating her staff. Good on her.

What does everyone think about this?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ She should forget about it and quit complaining.

This lady is at an HOA meeting and she is complaining that the landscapers in the neighborhood appear to be “hanging around”when they take their lunch breaks. Landscaping is back breaking work. Many of the landscapers are dropped off by the company owner or foreman. The only place they have to eat or take their break to get out of the sun is under a shaded tree. Many people even offer their landscapers drinks and food. The guy in the green shirt is disgusted that she brought it up. Should HOA’s tell landscapers to go somewhere else during their lunch breaks or should people like this woman worry about themselves.
