  1. Bathrooms with only vague gender markings. Is it common knowledge that a green headed mallard is male and a brown headed mallard is female? Just setting us up for embarrassment.

  2. Mamma Mia is no longer in the theaters, why do I still need to watch snippets of this movie every 5 seconds on TV? It looks horrific and I have the god damned song stuck in my head.

    BTW, this thread was off of the front page. Are you telling me that commercials have suddenly improved in quality? Bollocks! We need to do a better job of documenting our frustrations with the advertising industry.

  3. I just got a 10K grant approved to start a lacrosse team at my school (buy all the equipment and such) and pay the tuition for all of my advisees to attend a special education program that I believe will alter the course of their lives!

    BOO YA!

  4. Dirty diapers should be placed in a trash receptacle, not thrown from your window onto the street/sidewalk where I bike to work every day. It's like navigating a minefield in the projects next to my school.

  5. That work thingy does cut into your drinking time... :(

    It really does. It really does.

    I often like to imagine a world where there weren't so many horrific social problems so that I could have a normal 9-5 job where I don't take work home with me. Then drinking time could be my life's number one priority.

  6. I'm wondering if you're actually bombed at 2 in the afternoon on a Monday. And, if so, my feelings turn from wonderment to extreme jealousy.

    I wish. I gave my word on Friday that I wouldn't drink through Tuesday night.

    My lofty personal aspirations are really starting to get in the way of my partying schedule.

  7. Diversity statements for applications. It's cleverly couched within a broader question, but I hate these. I am not diverse. I have no hardships to wax about. Everyone in my family has a post-graduate degree. My parents make $250K. I live in one of the most affluent suburbs in the country and I go to an elite private liberal arts college. I don't pay for anything. I've never done anything risky or exciting and for that reason I've never really failed at anything either. I'm a WASP. My life is boring and comfortable. There is nothing diverse about me and I've never faced a real obstacle in my life. So what, pray tell, are people like me supposed to write about?

    How poor people need to pick themselves up by their boot straps? That seems to be the most common response by your kind.

    Your predicament reminded me of this... http://www.theonion.com/content/news/closing_of_homeless_shelter_leaves
