  • My wife was like this all the time. It was so exhausting and I couldn’t keep track of what she was mad about anymore. Then she started accusing me of cheating on a regular basis.

    Then I found the texts in her phone to multiple other guys. Pictures and everything. I bent over so far backwards for her to keep her happy and that’s what happened.

    Dumped her ass, got a new girlfriend that is radically different (she communicates) and I’m getting my life back on track. Restraining order in place. The future will be good.






  • We snuck our cat into our apartment skirting the lease. About 4 years in, they noticed our cat. We were given the ultimatum, pay $500 by the end of the week, or get rid of him by the end of the week. I was absolutely devistated, but we had no choice but to rehome him. We found a nice family across town to take him in. They would send us updates for about a week until he ran away.

    About 6 or 7 months later, I’m watching TV with my wife at midnight, and I hear frantic meowing at the door. It was him!

    The management company was in such disbelief, they waived the fee for us and he lived to be 12 years old. He passed away in my arms about 2 years ago. I’ll never forget him.







  • I was drunk and couldn’t drive, so my wife took me to get more beer. She asked me to put gas in our vehicle so I did because it was cold out. I noticed the pump behind me had the nozzle sitting on the ground which was hilarious to me. I took a snapchat picture and posted it saying “what a dumbass!” then I went inside to get my beer.

    I get back in the truck and I’m having a grand old time showing my wife what the idiot behind us must have done when I hear the “CLUNK”. I was told I turned as white as a ghost. I’d done it. It was my fault.

    I went inside, the cashier knew I was drunk (I was being obnoxious). I was profusely apologized and admitted it was all my fault. She went outside with me, explained it didn’t break and that they can reattach it, BUT there’s a charge.

    The cashier then said to me “get in your truck and get as far away as possible immediately. I didn’t see you, this didn’t happen, and I don’t know what happened to the camera footage. Have a nice night.”

    I hopped in the truck and just told my wife DRIVE. Security came rolling up as we were leaving (by chance).


  • Last Thursday, I succumbed to my outrageous electricity bill and they shut off my electricity. My lease is up on my apartment next month, so we decided to ditch the apartment.

    10 years I lived there. All gone. I had to uproot my family and move in with my in laws. I’ve been moving almost all of my belongings to the dump, and I got a storage unit for the important stuff.

    I could let this get me down, but I’m excited for the future. That defeated feeling got so bad, I feel positive (if that makes sense?)

    I’m going to use money that would be for rent to pay off all of my debt and start from a clean slate. I see this as a new beginning.

    I’ve been talking to almost everybody I run into and it really helps me not feel so doomed. Somebody even donated a car to us, I’m supposed to go pick it up today or tomorrow.

    Even when things are as bad as they could be, there’s something positive in every situation if you look hard enough. My situation might suck, but I’m determined to not let it get me down.

    Hang in there stranger, it’s all we can do.




  • I work on copiers for a living. Seriously, fuck HP.

    I swear they’re designed not to be worked on. Just speaking of the fuser on any Laserjet photocopier, they heat up and cool down constantly. Obviously stuff is going to break and it needs to be repaired.

    HP says fuck you! On the little desktop printers, on some models, you have to take all plastic panels off, and they all connect to each other so good luck getting it put back together right. They’re built exactly like a rubix cube. I literally clip off plastic tabs and just leave it. The customer never knows.

    I’ve been through official HP training. They told me “we can’t teach you on a specific model because we average a new model every month, so we’ll just give you a ball park on what to look for”

    I stopped calling HP support because they don’t even know their own machines. Shout-out to Laser Pros, they’re the best.
