I’m truly amazed all the time at peoples unwillingness to just say, “Why don’t you F off and mind your own business?”

Is it because I’m Australian and this is just normal for us? Faaarken hell.

Yes, people inserting their nose into your private life IS rude

It’s so difficult when you’re single and family keeps trying to set you up with folks you keep declining. Sigh, makes it seem like you’re dismissive

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

From 22-27 I dated a guy who worked all the time with the hope we would get married. Lots of time spent alone since he was never around on trips and so called vacations.

I saw two girls walking down the street yesterday with pink balloons that spelled “23”... what I would give to have not wasted my time with this guy. Has anyone ever gone through this?
