I’ve had an FSA for three years. What I somehow missed was how broad “medical expense” actually is. In my head, my FSA card was basically a pharmacy card. So every December I’d panic-buy Tylenol and NyQuil like I was preparing for the world’s saddest flu season. Last year I had about $1500 left on December 28. I panicked and booked a dental cleaning I didn’t need and bought more medicine cabinet stuff I already had. Then in January I found out sunscreen, HEPA air purifiers, heating pads, blood pressure monitors, contact lens solution, and a ton of Amazon stuff can be FSA eligible. I had allergies all year. I could’ve bought a Winix air purifier in March. Instead I paid $160 for a panic dental cleaning! TL;DR: Don’t panic-spend your FSA on random pharmacy stuff. There are a lot more eligible things you can actually use.

Hi, my name is Ashley and today I'm going to tell you the story of the worst date I've ever had. Before I begin, it's important to know that I've always had problems with gas; it's not lactose intolerance, it's something I was born with, and because of that, I naturally pass a lot of gas. Anyway, let's get to the story. This happened a while ago. I was talking to a guy on Tinder for about 3 months and after a lot of talking we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant (terrible choice) We arrived at the place and enjoyed ourselves immensely, especially me, because despite being thin, I eat a lot, but towards the end of the date I started letting out some really smelly, muffled farts and I realized I needed to go to the bathroom. I stood up and said I needed to use the restroom. He thought it was nothing, but from his look I already knew. En I understood that he smelled something in the bathroom, so I went in and did that for about 25 minutes, which made ...

Do NOT say anything rude to me or him, I'm not in the mood. And no, he did not directly say "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" or act attention-seeking or anything, I'm just thinking I fucked up. I (19F) have this one friend online (18FtM). Let's call him "Brandon". Brandon is really sweet, and sometimes I do enjoy talking to him... but lately he's been pissing me off and making me unexplainably angry so I started acting dry to him. You know, one-word responses, periods at the end of my messages, the usual. Well, eventually, Brandon texted me, asking if I HATED him and if he did something wrong. I told him I don't care what he has to say, that he was disrespecting my boundaries by talking to me all the time instead of once a week or so, and that he was pissing me off and should please quit it and shut up. Brandon got really upset, from what I can assume. He just texted "...Fine." even though I tried to be nice yet honest. He hasn't ...

Obligatory, this happened a couple months ago. I (15M) am very left wing when it comes to politics. I'm an atheist who was against religion for the longest time, but I've gotten better about it. I was friends with these 2 kids in my class (16M and 16F), and we started a group chat. The guy, let's call him Link, was kind of a dick. He still is, but he was at least nice when we were friends. The girl, let's call her Marilyn, was super nice. She helped me through some very tough times, especially when I had severe depression after my mom died. Link and Marilyn started dating a couple months before we started the group chat, and I thought they were a really cute couple. During this time, me and my best friend, we'll call him Bradley (15M) were seeing all the news about how Trump is fucking up, and the wars, all that stuff, and we had very strong opinions on it. Mind you, we still do, but not to the extent we did. Anyways, me and Bradley got into a conversation abo...

So for starters this didn’t happen today. This occurred while I was getting my undergrad at my local university a few years ago. I was reminded of this today and I still cringe when I think about my actions this day. I was 20 years old and working at Lowe’s at the time as a sales associate. Specifically in the paint department. One of my jobs there at the time was put away any freight that came in. One night the managers were talking and I heard somebody say “yo so and so crop dusted that aisle. I can tell…” well in my head… I thought that meant they knocked down everything in the aisles with an object. So one night my shift was nearing the end and I had to take some freight back to receiving where I didn’t get everything finished. And as a female working at Lowe’s, sometimes working with pallet jacks are hard. And this specific pallet jack was not working properly, so it was twisted and turning in every direction and I was bumping into aisles. So when I come back from receivi...

So, I live with my mom. She does not know I have a vibrator. She was in my room because she needed a charger for a different thing that I was letting her borrow, and the charger she needed was right next to the charger for the vibrator. She got the charger she needed, but she mistaked the vibrator charger for the cord to an electric clock I told her I didnt want. I told her that the cord is mine, please, and to stop touching it. I was really freaked out and scared so I was stuttering a lot and shaking... she gave me it back and asked me why I was being so weird and what it actually went to. I didn't answer I just looked at her with fear in my eyes. She was like, "Alright, whatever, I know what you use it for anyway." And then I was freaked out by that, OBVIOUSLY, because what else could she mean except she knows I have a vibrator? I asked her what she meant, and then SHE asked ME why I was so freaked out... and then that was kinda it. She left my room and I hid the charge...
