Something I’ve noticed is that I had basically stopped commenting on Reddit because it seemed like someone always wanted to start a fight. I don’t even generally comment about politics or controversial topics, but still it felt like I was getting rude responses doubting my stories or whatever. Now I’m more likely to take a moment to share a response.

I worked in the corporate office at a bank in 2008-2009 and they stopped all landscaping , which included no longer mowing the large field out front. Everyone thought we had gone out of business because it was so overgrown and they would call to ask if we closed. We also started having issues with snakes and mice on the first floor. Eventually they had some guys come mow and we watched out the window as mice scattered in every direction.
One time my work had a “employee appreciation fair” with snacks and games. One game was a cake walk. They asked that if you won a cake you quit playing. My shitty coworker Diane won a cake and kept playing and won a second cake and no one stopped her because it was just a dumb work event. After the fair ended we all went back to our cubes and Diane was gloating about her two cakes.
Another coworker, my friend Laura, told her in front of everyone in our department that she should share one of the cakes with us. Laura pointed out it was only fair as she really shouldn’t have gone back for a second. Our bosses were there and she was really put on the spot, so she begrudgingly agreed to share whilst shooting daggers at Laura. We all cut slices of cake and took them back to our desks to continue work.
I composed an email, the contents of which I’ve forgotten but was something to the effect of “Diane was shooting daggers at you so hard I’m surprised you aren’t dead! Watch out cause she’s probably going to stab you later!” I titled it “STABBED” and sent it to Laura. After a few minutes she pinged me to talk about the Diane situation and I mentioned that I already sent her an email about it. As you can guess, it turns out she didn’t receive it because I accidentally sent it to a totally different Laura! Someone in a different building, in a different part of town. I quickly sent an apology and asked her to disregard the email as it was sent in error. She never responded or acknowledged it in any way which is about the best I could ask for in that situation. This was back in 2008-2009 so I imagine the response would be very different now.
I’ve been on a memoir kick. Specifically women celebrities. I just finished Mean Baby by Selma Blair and it was good. I’m about to start Hello Molly by Molly Shannon.
The TV show Big Brother.
I once found my brother-in-law on Reddit because he posted a picture I recognized. I went to his post history to check if it was actually him and it was but he had posted a completely fake story to r/legaladvice. It was something about his landlord removing the door to the apartment to try and get rent or something. But my bil lived in a house he owned. It also wasn’t an old story he was repurposing either because I have known him since he moved out of his parents house. I never mentioned it or anything because I don’t care.
