As the title says, really. During my crazy job search in this awful market, I finally got a response from a company that seems great to work for asking for a phone interview. When scheduling the call, apparently I typed one number of my phone number wrong by pressing the one next to it, and didn't realize until I hadn't gotten a phone call within 5-6 minutes of when it was scheduled to start, and I went to send an email confirming it was still happening. I realized and messaged right away, apologizing as profusely and professionally, as possible but ugh. FUCK. Back to LinkedIn hell it is. TL;DR: Missed a phone interview after finally hearing back from a company because I had a typo in my phone number and didn't realize until I went to confirm whether or not the meeting was still happening after not getting a call.

you can probably guess where this is going. so, i have a bit of a laundry obsession. my own laundry gets pretty clean with a high quality detergent, but my gf's laundry is just... nasty. it smells clean enough after being washed, but the odor rebloom is insane. i attribute it to the fact she has no idea how to do laundry, and that she wears a lot more synthetic fabrics than me. i've been washing it with detergent, using a booster (FEBU ftw!), and using a citric acid rinse at the end. it's not enough. well, r/laundry uses ammonia for their "spa day" treatment, so i pick up some of that from walmart to try. you may recognize ammonia as that compound in urine that makes it smell like, well, urine. it is also used as a cleaner, often scented lemon and dyed neon yellow. upon first pouring it into the drum (on top of clothes, after the drum has filled with water), it didn't smell too bad. like lemonade made with well hydrated piss instead of water, maybe. i t...

I need to get this off my chest because I think I just fucked up a 10-year friendship and I’m not sure how to handle it. We’ve been close since we were younger. He’s 37, married with three kids. For the last several years almost every time we talk he complains about their sex life. Same things over and over: she never wants it, they both work too much, she only gets in the mood on vacation, he’s tired of the drought. I used to just listen. But it wasn’t only his side of the story. Over the years a few of the women in our friend group mentioned things his wife had said to them. How he does almost nothing around the house. How the kids are mostly on her. How she’s exhausted all the time. Years ago there was even a quiet rumor that she’d told a couple people if he didn’t start stepping up she was done. Nothing dramatic ever came of it and everyone moved on, but it stuck with me. So when he kept complaining while never talking about helping more with the kids or the house, it started...

Pretty recent fuck up. Not today, but a week ago and I’m just now recovering from my shame. I had recorded a ✨spicy✨ video for my husband. The contents of said video are unimportant, what is important however is that when sending the video to my husband from the share option in my gallery it gave me a quick list of contacts I’m commonly in contact with. I ignorantly thought it was a good idea to use this presented option. I clicked my husband’s contact and hit that faithful blue button to send the video. Or so I thought I clicked my husband’s contact. The fuck-up? I actually clicked my best friend’s contact and sent it to her. 😭😭 Luckily, she has been like my sister for well over a decade. She and I laughed it off, but I’ve been getting hell from both my husband and best friend for a week. TL;DR I went to surprise husband with video, surprised bestie instead and have suffered being the butt of the joke for a week

Over 10 years ago I was on a trip with my two friends(let’s say bob and john) in a location where prostitution is legal, we were all single at the time, we decided it’d be fun to become Eskimo brothers. Consecutively, not concurrently. Weird? Sure but not looking to be judged at the moment. Anyway after we were all done, we discussed. One thing that stood out was the way the woman “finished” us. She repeatedly said “give me the juice, give me the juice” for all of us. This became a running joke that we’d randomly say. Flash forward to this past Saturday, we’re all now married and all three of us were at another mutual friends wedding together with our wives. Wedding was great, the next morning the three of us and our wives get breakfast before driving home. When ordering drinks I say “just give me the juice… orange juice I mean” I thought it would be a funny inside joke that they both acknowledged in their heads and maybe we laughed about later. Except one of my friends, John, co...

So obligatory this happened a few weeks back and started even sooner. I have degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine, it is uncomfortable sometimes but mostly no big deal except when symptoms first started a few years ago. Anyway about 6 weeks ago I was in the back seat of a car when the driver hit a speed bump really hard, I was jolted upwards and hit my head against the roof of the car. Ever since my neck has hurt quite badly so I've been stretching frequently and deeply for relief. After a couple weeks i was stretching when suddenly I briefly lost consciousness and fainted. It hurt but at the time i was mostly worried because I broke my glasses, I think I was in shock. I went about my day and went to work, only telling my boyfriend what happened and he tried to convince me to go to the hospital which seemed silly to me. I was fine, i had bent my glasses back and my head just hurt a little. Then I woke up the next day in a TON of pain. My left side ribs were absolu...
