my wife and I are the same. I love sarcasm and she cant keep a straight face! pretty often, she elbows me in the belly fat to get me to stop

My sister and I set each other off at our dad's funeral. Dreadful fits of the giggles, the likes of which we haven't had since primary school, probably. We look back and laugh, too!
*friend/family member sends out funeral invites* "Rsvp for Abigail's funeral by 2/28/2025"... "(my bestie's name) and (my name) are not permitted to sit together"
I had a friend like that who sat with me at early morning sales meetings. The rah rah leader wasn’t happy.
Aaaaaand if they don't, I wave politely and shout "YOUR WELCOME!" and give my best smile.
If I allow an HGV (truck) to merge in front of me, I expect a flash of the hazard lights, please.
I ALWAYS do this, but I'm afraid they will think I'm flipping them off so I use the full hand wave. Especially as a pedestrian. Also, I work at a state capitol and there is this guy that holds up a stop sign and waves passengers through the cross walk to the parking garage. Funny is that after he waves me through I have to loop back by in my car, so he stops me againr for other people going to the parking garage. Reciprocal loop.
As a female lmao 60yr oldno longer drive thank god !!! I’m disabled now gotta loath drink drivers !! when I used to let people thru did I expect a ty nope why people are a******s on the road lol
Mum was extremely patient with me as a teen. I would sidle up to her and start helping fold the washing, and she'd say "Shoot" and my floodgates would open. When I started to lose some steam, she'd ask a little question which would then spark a discussion. I think these discussions taught me life is not black and white and that there isn't always an answer no matter how often you ask the same question.
Load More Replies...As a woman, you're often expected to fit into a mold that society has shaped for you. You know what we mean, ladies—don’t laugh too loud, don’t sit a certain way, don’t dress like that, don’t have an opinion that’s “too strong.” The list is endless. Whether it’s about how you behave, what career you choose, or even how you express yourself—the world always seems to have an unsolicited suggestion waiting.
Sure, sometimes it’s okay to pick your battles, but there are also moments when you just have to let the truth spill out. Whether it’s about everyday things—like these unapologetic posts—or speaking your mind when it truly matters, honesty shouldn’t feel like a rebellion.
And yet, for women, being vocal is still often seen as “too much.” But the truth is, staying silent never changed anything, and speaking up is how progress is made.
God yes ! Then again I’m housebound out in the sticks I only see my 23-20 yr old kids n my dogs bliss lmao
Should I be insulted by the fact that the title set especially women? Is the same to me?
Although research shows that motivational posters increase positivity and productivity up to 33%, this is also the look I make when I see one. Probably because I know they’re manipulative, but also work and for some reason I hate that. (No, I’m not a cynic)
My favorite "demotivational" posters are available at Despair.com. My favorite is Burnout: "Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you."
Load More Replies...Yes. Particularly when you're in customer service, the transaction has ended, and they just won't shut up and go away.
Oh I do but equally, I expect poeple to say it to me when I'm pointlessly waffling on.
I came close to telling my husband this the other night when he got excited watching a new TV series that I hadn't heard about, nor that I cared to watch. I told him that I'll have to watch it on breaks at work to catch up, but I'm not really sure if I want to watch it at all.
When you’re honest about what you want and refuse to let the world define your limits, incredible things can happen. Look at Kalpana Chawla—her unwavering determination led her all the way to NASA. She didn’t let obstacles, biases, or doubts stop her from chasing her dream of touching the stars.
She faced endless hurdles in her career. As an Indian woman in a male-dominated field, she had to push against cultural expectations and gender stereotypes. But she didn’t let that hold her back. With her intelligence, perseverance, and love for space, she proved that talent and passion could break through any glass ceiling.
Her journey into space in 1997 made history—Kalpana Chawla became the first woman of Indian origin to fly on a space mission. It wasn’t just a personal achievement; it was a moment that inspired countless young girls across the world. She showed them that the sky wasn’t the limit—it was just the beginning.
It's getting so bad as I get older; I hate driving at night now.
I refuse to drive at night except in an emergency. Those damn LED headlights are blinding.
Load More Replies...Me too, but add the star shapes on the lights because of my astigmatism...
And then you start getting cataracts, which make everything have big haloes, but they won't fix them until they are bad enough that you probably shouldn't have been driving for the past couple of years.
I've pretty much given it up, between being night-blind and getting older
At my age I avoid driving at night unless it's a short trip and I know exactly where I'm going.
Especially if it’s raining with other cars coming at you!
It's scary to know that is how come people see the road. I scare myself at times.
its mainly a problem when they start asking why are you in their house and wearing their bath robe.
Load More Replies...Always choose sarcasm, irreverence or flippancy over cynicism. Along with jealousy (which is NOT the same as envy), cynicism is the ugliest trait a person can express.
It is. I don't even know this drink and I feel like I ve tasted it
Load More Replies...I actually like white cloth, then again I like unsweet iced tea with a tiny bit of lime...
Imagine if Marie Curie had stayed quiet about her dreams. Despite the gender discrimination of her time, she pursued her passion for science, breaking down barriers and opening doors for women in STEM.
Her dedication led her to not just one but two Nobel Prizes, making her the first person ever to win in two different fields, Physics and Chemistry. She once said, “The road to progress is neither quick nor easy.” And she proved that with every groundbreaking discovery she made.
I'm really looking forward to linen shirt season, I've had enough of wearing four layers of clothing.
I just said this to my partner the other day. Wearing a sweatshirt so ...
They are too busy looking at their phones. Poor dogo isn't getting any attention
If it was me, I'd be sending photos of the dog to everyone 🤣
Load More Replies...I had a dog leave her table and come sit with my friends and me. Her humans were too absorbed in their phones so she jumped down and wandered over to us. We, of course, put our phones down and cooed over her until her humans realized she was gone. Took way longer than it should have. Poor pup.
My phone may as well not exist if there's a doggo to play with.
Please a*****e do not have kids ! Cos if they can ignore their dog like this god help the kids 🤬
Don't judge people from a snapshot of their lives :) People might see me using my phone while I'm out and about with my kids, but it's generally to buy a ticket on public transport, check if a museum's open (and get tickets), things like that. They might see me standing at the bus stop and ignoring my kids for a minute while I check my phone to see when the bus is coming and judge based on that picture. What they don't know, as none of us do here, is the context. The sad doggy eyes don't necessarily mean he's got a terrible life, or even that they are its owners!
Load More Replies...He's bored because his humans are staring at their stupid cell phones. Pay attention to your dog. They love you; your cell phone doesn't.
And then there’s Rosa Parks—one of the boldest women in history. In 1955, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus. That one act of defiance set off a chain reaction that changed the course of civil rights in America. She didn’t just spark a movement—she became the face of it, proving that one voice can shake an entire system.
I overheard a woman explaining how babies only get DNA from their mother and not their father. Like we're all clones of our mums.
My husband & I diagnose ourselves with the exhausting & annoying “PAFSS” when we have to observe or overhear the idiocy of John/Joan Q. Public. It’s short for “People Are Fúcking Stupid Syndrome” and we come down with it every single time we’re out.
Such as the discussion on the train this !morning on if the ruffles on the cummerbund go up or down.
When I was little I was so desperate to be allowed to stay up late. Now, in my 30s, I cannot understand that at all.
Load More Replies...get the shower chair. It is great, sometimes you dont need to shower, you just need to let the warm water wash over you like a little frog in the rain
Never had the idea of sitting while showering..but that sounds nice
i am perfectly fine with leaving hot girl sh*t in the past & doing old lady sh!t. comfortable in my own skin
Sitting while showering is the best! I love being an eccentric old lady.
Speaking of fearless women, let’s talk about Nellie Bly. Back when female journalists were expected to stick to writing about fashion and high society, she refused to play by those rules. Instead, she took on the toughest stories—exposing corruption and injustice.
She even pretended to be insane to go undercover in a mental institution, exposing its horrific conditions in her famous book ‘Ten Days in a Mad-House.’
I just hate mornings. Besides, it feels so good to be in bed when you’re not supposed to be there!
Exactly! I need to be less annoying but if I talk less I don’t think anyone will put in the effort of making conversation with me and then I’ll be lonely :(
Don't be less annoying. Be your little snaily self. ❤️ I had a guy who called me a f*****g b***h every time I got really excited about something and chattered at him. I didn't speak for 3 days. Then I realized he was the problem.
Load More Replies...I was once a radio DJ for about 5 years. It's the only "cool" job I've ever had. So if I've had more than a 10 minute conversation with you, I probably brought it up. If I had something better to talk about, I would.
Hubby talks in his sleep, but it's to the cat. Should I be worried?
It depends, I guess. Is it perfectly normal stuff like "Oh I would die for you, Mister Moustache! You are my purrfect little kittykat!" or more like "Oh yeah, rub that bloody mouse head against my shin and leave me some of those entrails, Mister Moustache!"
Load More Replies...Mr Auntriarch doesn't twitch, and he doesn't say stupid things. He has some totally novel and inventive ways of being annoying.
My partner twitches in his sleep and then starts muttering words I can't understand in a demonic voice. It's...kinda disturbing. I've videoed it to show him because he wouldn't believe me. He says he doesn't remember his dreams.......... Seems possessed kinda.
I used to do the same and make some death threats in a deep cavernous voice when I had nightmares.
Load More Replies...I'm a man and I upvoted it. I get your point but ease up.
Load More Replies...opening the phone camera and its on selfie mode!!!!
Load More Replies...No matter how much I try to be the best possible person I can be, hubby ALWAYS finds a reason to b***h me out!
I think it's good to lose your s**t at least once a day, just to keep things healthy. 😉
I lose my s**t so often I cry at dog food commercials
Load More Replies...Why are they blocking out a word when everybody already knows what the word is…?
Then there’s Junko Tabei, the Japanese mountaineer who made history as the first woman to conquer Mount Everest in 1975. But did the world celebrate her achievement? Not entirely. Instead, she was criticized for leaving her young daughter at home while she climbed.
Instead of letting the judgment break her, she went on to climb all Seven Summits—the highest peaks on every continent. Her motto? "Do not give up. Keep on your quest." A reminder that when you set your sights on something, the only opinion that matters is your own.
But you get why they sent it, and it's actually exactly you.
I'm just scrolling through all of the comments looking for BoredLittleLeafSheep's comments...hahah....making me laugh!
Load More Replies...Same, I get home just to decompress and let all the ugly out. Screaming into a pillow helps. Working in customer service can suck occasionally... also unfortunately.
Don't take it personally. Let it go. If you have paperback books, throw them one at a time at the shower curtain then pick them up one at a time.
Load More Replies...Speaking your truth isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary—whether it's calling out unfairness, standing up for your dreams, or even just sharing an unfiltered opinion just like these posts.
Don't have a husband, but yes, she will outlast my relationships and I will cry with her when that happens.
I just want to outlive my hubby so that I will finally have some peace!
Just Why? Did this door really exist and what was the neighborhood like? Don't worry, I get the metaphor. But really?
Pretty sure that’s samples in a locksmith’s shop or hardware store, as they all seem to be different.
Load More Replies...A woman once told me that she wanted a life full of meaning. Only later did I discover that she was using "meaning" as a gerund, not a noun.
It's no different for men, just yapping about different things (probably). My best friend and I just started talking when we first encountered each other and haven't stopped since.
Load More Replies...I bounced a basketball off her head in high school and knocked all the common sense out of her because we've been besties for 20+ yrs.
I've tried to explain this to people for decades. I was always a loner. I'm not the kind of girl that makes friends.I was the kind of girl that people made friends WITH. I didn't get a choice. I'd get latched onto by all these weirdos going: She seems kinda psycho and cool, let's hang with her to see what happens and get dragged along for the ride. They'd leave just as easily, with no warning, when they realised it wasn't an *act*, I really was unstable and unhinged due to my(at the time) undiagnosed BPD. My life is not an performance that I can turn off when I go home. When I wake up I have BPD and when I go to sleep, it's still there.
At least 2x per month: Me, *right after getting out of bed*, "How's my hair?" Husband, "Wild looking." Me, "Tell me I'm pretty!" Husband, "You're beautiful, baby." Me, "Weirdo."
can we just all agree that we don't mind swearing on BP and stop censoring memes like they were posted for 12 year olds
I think we do, but it doesn't matter, because the people responsible for fixing it don't care.
Load More Replies...You can stuff National Singles Awareness Day. It's ridiculous people need a holiday to force them to be loving to their partners.
Every day is National Singles Awareness Day, except Valentine's Day. It's daft. In the eighteen months I was with my ex(before things turned nasty in the years that followed), we deliberately stayed apart on V day to be with our families because we didnt need some stupid holiday telling us how to act.
Load More Replies...What revolution? If you have time because you don't work, you don't have money to go out much. If you have money, you work and have no time to go out because you have to rest from working. Its a vicious cycle.
Load More Replies...Nope. Got my 24-oz, refillable, double-walled, powder-coated turquoise, stainless-steel water bottle with me 24/7.
gone are the days we'd drink directly from the hose......also would be weird to carry a hose around nowadays
Load More Replies...How did we all survive on drinking fountains alone before water bottles...
How many fountains have you seen since COVID?
Load More Replies...For real. I've had one (1) mimosa in my life and the day that followed was a total haze
Just get the bottomless mimosas, they're so watered down you'll be diabetic before drunk.
There was a restaurant in my town that would give you the whole bottle and a carafe of OJ. My liver is thankful i only got to experience it one time.
Load More Replies...Perhaps this is because young people don't drink mimosas, older people do. As recently as 10 years ago I could put down a 24 pack of beer. And I could drink about four and still drive home without the slightest problem. But today two drinks and I'm not driving home, at least not for a few hours, and four drinks means I'm going to have a bad morning. It's not a change in the type of drinking, it's being in my forties.
I asked for a mimosa when I was sixteen (thought "mimosa" was a type of orange). Waitress never missed a beat. "Girl, those things have booze. No." Kik
My facial expressions always give me away. In some recent footage of the dumpster fire s**t show government reality program I genuinely wonder, how are these people in the room, at these hearings, keeping a straight face?
Facebook doesn’t understand, instagram doesn’t understand, their algorithms have me nailed! Can’t get on either one without seeing some new gadget, outfit or worthy cause that causes me to autofill all my payment info in a matter of seconds. Arrrgh!
I'm supposed to have a safety training module done by end of April. Guess who's retiring end of March. I'm deriving enormous satisfaction from deleting the reminder every time it pops up.
A friend's wife was asked to work overtime during her last week before retirement. Her response? "No, that won't work for me."
Load More Replies...I bought leggings instead of maternity pants when I was pregnant with my oldest. It's been almost 13 years, and I haven't worn jeans since.
Oh god, I’m going there, pretending not to with Jeggings at the moment.
Load More Replies...My people know I will never repeat anything they tell me without their permission. I get all the hot deets! Never tell my mom anything you don't immedietly want everyone to know. We actually use that to our advantage by spreading info without having to start a text thread.
My trick (and I guess for others) is I write the rant, but make sure there's no address in the Send To box. Might leave it in there in Drafts for a bit but then re-think. Took me a long time to do this, and still don't always manage it.
It's a good idea. I've sat on my mean/angry emails before. But the next morning I reread them and am like, yep. Still sending for like 90% of them.
Load More Replies...Champagne and orange juice. Basically an excuse to day drink and be posh about it
Load More Replies...So detectives don't make that much. Where I live in Colorado a dective pay starts at 57k. Not even close to 200k
My husband was an NYPD detective and earned nowhere near 200K. Even with overtime, it was closer to 80K. He retired in 2012, so it’s different now. But not a whole lot.
Load More Replies...Just stop. We came here for some laughs and you gotta be all Debbie Downer and bring politics into it.
Load More Replies...Did you try reality? Much more frightening than any horror movie .I wish that was a joke.
Load More Replies...Your day, your week, your month, or even your year...
Load More Replies...Better than my partner's mom who I swear knows what to say with a smile that'll cause me to cry about it for a couple days.
New puzzles. I won’t live long enough to actually work all the puzzles I keep buying!
Hot chocolate and sunsets would be much more preferable to me. I am not a morning person!
Load More Replies...This is a "dichotomy" or perhaps a "catch-22", not "mental illness".
Load More Replies...4 servings of fruit is a lot isn't it?! I don't think I ever manage that. I eat a tonne of vegetables though.
So "sassy" is a synonym for "unapologetically bitter and miserable" now? Keep up the good work, BP!
