The whole idea with the bike helmet law is that some people want to wear helmets but they know how dorky it makes them look so they make everyone else wear one because they think it will make them look like less of a dork.

Hey, you still look like a timid little baby going out for a cruise dressed like Project Grizzly, only now there are half as many of you on the road. —Butler's Revenge

Why would you drop all of your friends for your boyfriend? Or your values, morals and entire way of life? Your attitude, even. We're young, boyfriends seem like the world - but we're not that young. Not young enough to still be thinking all you need is your boyfriend. And that thought that you don't need any of your friends? That you can treat them like they're worthless, because you have a boyfriend now? You're a grown-ish 20 year old. You dropped every last one of your friends, and live to serve him. You don't even talk to your "best friends" anymore. You don't have any. You're "his girlfriend" to his friends... they aren't your friends. And now that you've dropped us... good luck getting his friends to hold your hair while you drunkenly puke, curl your hair, or just have down time and talk with you. They will never be there for you like we were. I've had enough of always being there for you, yet only being good enough when he's cranky or when he's in a mood or when he's not around. This is from us, the ex-bestfriends: the girls who's best friends completely cut them out of their lives for that boy. Well girlfriend ... I hope it works out for you, because we certainly won't be around to see if it does. Learn to respect yourself and stand on your own two feet. Fuck. You. —The ex-bestfriend

Our first child is on the way; very lucky and very happy. We go for our 20 week scan. So excited. We see the little peanut on the screen, hi-fiving and we are stoked. Can't wait to share this with the grand-parents and aunts/uncles. Only we go to ask how we pay for a photo. $50 for a CD. $50!! Are you serious? A blank CD costs, what like 50c. And then it takes 2 weeks to mail it. Unfortunately we can't afford a $50 CD, from which we want ONE photo as a memento of this special time.

Get with the times, buy a few black and white printers and charge $5, hell even $10 a photo!

Thanks baby hospital, you just robbed us (and every other expecting couple who don't have money to burn) of that first memory. —Experience-slightly-soured

Why do some parents allow their elementary school-aged daughters to wear clothes that are inappropriate for a family-friendly event? The sequins, off-the-shoulder dresses, tight tank tops (it's been in the minus double digits all week), and crotch-hugging tights have never made sense to me. Is she heading out clubbin' afterwards? —thankful I have boys

To certain members of my culture, Christmas can either be a dominant, widely advertised, compulsory holiday, or it can be about Jesus Christ. It cannot be both. —WWSD

In June 2012 we sat with a car salesman for a good hour going over the pricing for our new car. We went through the proposed Purchase Agreement line by line, item by item, declining the Rust Sealant, Fabric Protector, and Extended Warranty. The ONLY add-on we accepted was the Rust Protection. We knew the total cost for our car was going to be $25,896.75. But when the salesman printed off the Purchase Agreement, out comes a price of $26,188.85! We looked at the salesman and asked: "What's this?!?" He explained that we were being charged for their Platinum Security Protection, it came with the car, it was mandatory, and we had to purchase it. We explained that we neither needed it nor did we want it, and we explained why. But the salesman wasn't taking 'no' for an answer. Kinda like "take it or leave it" attitude. So we took it. But we didn't take it lying down. As soon as we got home we proceeded to post a blisteringly negative online review, hoping only to warn all future vehicle buyers to be aware of said car dealership's shenanigans. But surprisingly, along comes a dealership 'gatekeeper', holding out an olive branch, wanting to make nice. We made nice alright.....we got our $292.10 back!

So be aware fellow vehicle buyers; as shady car dealerships continue down their unrelenting reckless road to riches at OUR expense, please join me in reminding them that we aren't going to take this crap. They might be selling vehicles but WE are the ones in the driver's seat. And remember also, the pen is sharper than the sword. —2TickedOff

Fuck off flu Bug. Seriously... Fuck Off. —Sick

I'll always wish I had more friends and
You'll always wish you had more interesting thoughts.—Life is unfair

If you're going to walk at night along the side of the road, please, for your own safety, wear light colours, something reflective, or carry a lit flashlight. —Trying to drive safely

Clearly nothing has been done people are getting hit left right and centre IN CROSS WALKS MIGHT I ADD THIS IS GETTING REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING something needs to be done!!!!! —A very angry lady
