Easiest job in the world? Giving a Best Man speech. You are almost 100% guaranteed to follow an incoherent, rambling mess of a Maid of Honor speech.

Feels like a bit of a sexist and inaccurate post

^I have. My friend's maid of honor was not incoherent nor rambling. While the guy's speech was good too, i personally think she one-up'd him by translating it too for the bride's family that spoke little english. Maybe you should go to more weddings before generalizing.

Will keep that in mind, thanks

@GS1 - observing behavior exhibited by people of different sexes and commenting on it doesn't make it a sexist. Have you ever heard a legitimately great maid of honor speech? In my mid-30s and still haven't...i've heard a handful of ok ones, which is why I used the word "almost" above, but Best Man speeches I have observed have been unquestionably of higher quality on the whole, with much lower "absolute disaster" potential.

Ppl aren't calling you out on stating what you observed. It's the silly conclusion that you made based on a very small sample.

^exactly. If Op's post is an indication of the caliber of his BM speech, the audience eyes would be glazed and we'd hear grandpappy snoring .😂💤

Went to my best friends wedding last week. Maid of honor went first. Her speech was meh, but I think the tears are helpful. Hard to follow that.

^ Agree and respect the logic of your first statement

^perfect opportunity to close with some levity. Men unafraid and not intimidated by a few tears will jump on the chance. #fearnotears #mohbmteamwork

If having observed awful Maid of Honor speeches and then verbalizing that I witnessed them makes me a sexist, the sure, I am a sexist.

My manager asked for access to my calendar. I just started on Monday and thought this was a weird request. I’ve never had anyone at any job ask me this before. I know it’s her right as a lead but it feels so damn invasive. When I asked her about it (very casually) she said, “you can ask for access to mine too, I don’t have anything to hide.”

I didn’t ask bc I have something to hide, I asked because it’s not something I’ve ever had to do before and thought the request was weird.
