That I have a terrible temper. I hide it and manage it but when something pushes me past the break, I'm like a really F'd version of the Taz.1

I’m Italian and I absolutely HATE cooking0

Same here.
When folks learn that I don’t drink, they typically think one of two things; either that I have had a drinking problem or that I’m a bible thumper..... I’m neither.
People who don’t drink sometimes make me nervous. Like, I expect that they’re judging me. Are you judging me?
Lol, I can't imagine judging someone for drinking. So long as your not trying to pressure me into drinking, then idc if you drink or not. Though I would laugh at you, if you got drunk and started acting silly.1 -

Even better! More laughs to be had!
Edit: Back on topic, I don't cook. I can follow simple directions, but I don't get any enjoyment out of it. So I don't cook *shrug*1 -
I hate spiders0

That I am rather shy in person.1

In all seriousness....
That I’ve been with the same organization for 24 years. Longevity in the work place seems to be a dying concept.1 -

This does not surprise me.
Also, breakfast sausage is underrated.
My long lost breakfast order: Two eggs over easy, corned beef hash, rye toast, two sausage, and a Pepsi.4 -

It wasn't actually that bad! (Better than being at 'home' anyway) and was only for a short while.5 -
@Teenybudda - I can relate 🤗🤗🤗1

Well I'm glad it was only temporary!1 -

I've been at my current job for 6 years, which to me is a chunk of time. A lot of people here have been on the job for 15, 24, 33 years! My coworker is only 36 and has been here for 15 years. I've never seen that anywhere else I have worked. You're definitely right about it being a dying concept.1 -

31 years for me. My employer has changed its name twice, and the organizational structure several times, but it's been the same job.0 -

Hmm many people have assumed over the years that I always had an easy life when it is the exact opposite, grew up poor and with a lot of problems.
I’m not Latina.
I’m sweet. My face is kind of serious so before they get to know me people have told me they thought I wasn’t friendly.4 -

I've had this too. I didn't grow up poor (though certainly not rich, either). But my twenties were a time of debt, living in a moldy trailer for years, driving cars I prayed would make it to my next payday, saving up to get a tooth pulled, etc. Because I have a college degree, no kids, pretty nice life now at 42...a lot of people assume that I went from a sorority to an accounting job in a seamless happy life.
Come to think of it, most of the same people also assume that my figure now is the heaviest I've ever been which is hilarious since I was over 300 lb in the past.3 -
Highschool dropout, never stepped foot into a college, no technical skills, all I have is my GED.
I was 27 when I got my driving license.
My kids were planned at 19.

I remember when I was in 7th grade I walked into my 5th period class (the one after lunch, a rambunctious group) and this girl named Cynthia jumps up and says, "Oh my god- I saw you at church yesterday!'
Then her friend sitting next to her was like, "For reals? He goes to your church?"
Next thing I know everyone is chattering like it's a Salem witch trial. The teacher quieted the class down and then adds her 2 cents-- "Well that was a shocker! Okay everyone, open your books to...."
I remember feeling really disappointed that day. I used to dish out jokes, now I felt like I was a joke. You try to better yourself as a person (a 13 year old one at that) and your own peers just can't fathom that. It was a side of darkness I wasn't ready to see.1 -

I used to work with someone who claimed to live on the streets for a couple years. He said he mostly stole from convenience stores to get by. Tbh, I never really put much stock in what he said. But that still pretty neat, if it was by choice.your_future_ex_wife wrote: »mattig89ch wrote: »oh, I got one. I don't like bacon very much. That always kinda surprises people.
