Now that weed is becoming legalized and people who are wealthy enough to invest are making stupid amounts of money, we ought to pay reparations/ damages to the people who were imprisoned for years on nonviolent weed related charges.
My cousin organized a family vacation.Months before the trip, I told everyone:"I'll join, but I'm booking my own hotel room."I like my privacy and I don't snore well with others.Everyone laughed and said that was fine.When we arrived, several relatives had booked luxury suites far above the original budget. At checkout, they wanted everyone to split the total evenly.That included me.The person who had already paid for a separate room.When I refused, my aunt called me selfish.I asked her a simple question:"If I booked a penthouse tonight, would you help pay for it?"She immediately said no.Exactly.Funny how fairness only works one direction.
15 years ago randomness meant everything. You could just tacos xD your way out of most conversations. Now of days they lock you up for saying things like that.
My sister is 6 months behind me, also pregnant. My baby shower was next month.
I sent her my registry link: "Just so you know what we still need. No pressure to buy anything."
Week later, I check the registry. The $600 UppaBaby stroller is marked "purchased."
I text her: "Omg thank you! I didn't expect you to get the big one."
She replies: "Oh no, I got that for me. My shower is in July. Since we’re due close together, I figured you wouldn’t mind if I used your registry. Saves me making one."
I said: "But it came out of my gifts. My friend who bought it thinks it’s for my baby."
Her: "Just tell her it was a duplicate and return it. You can Venmo me the cash. I already had it shipped to my house."
I didn’t argue.
I contacted the buyer, explained, and had her cancel the order. Then I removed the stroller and locked the registry.
My mom calls: "You embarrassed your sister. Now she has to tell everyone why she doesn’t have a stroller. Can’t you just buy it for her? You’re working."
No. You decided my registry was your shopping list and spent my friend’s $600 without asking.
My baby shower isn’t your pre-order system.
And somehow…
I’m the one the family calls “hormonal.”
Apparently, at baby showers, “registry” means “community pool for pregnant relatives.”
But wanting the gifts people bought for your kid?
That makes me the villain.
Just wait for the paint to dry, then paint that end.
Moral lesson: If you wait to understand how to finish, you may never begin. Just start, you'll figure it out along the way.
Micro cheating is cheating. If you're talking to someone else without your partner knowing, then that's cheating. If you're going out with someone who's not a friend or not blood-related and your partner doesn't know, that's also cheating. If you're joking around with someone in a flirty way, that's cheating too.If you're flooding someone's inbox with messages without your partner knowing, that's cheating as well, especially if you're deleting the conversation because you don't want your partner to get mad. Well, that's also cheating, darling.
