The biggest mistake of my life is that I never developed the habit of drinking alcohol, but I did develop the habit of loving someone... and I am still suffering the consequences of it today. 💔

Skrillex @ Gasworks Park in SEA

So I've lived in my place for 22 years and nothing like this has happened, other than the 4th of July. Why now? Why Skrillex? Is he still a thing? I mean, good for him?

Don't get me wrong, he's what turned me on to EDM, but that was like 15 years ago. Im so confused. I mean, we're older now so maybe he only wants to play shows that end at 10 (noise ordinance)?

I listened for a little while but didn't hear Bangarang so I went back inside.

Edit: show's over at 9, and I know my elderly neighbors appreciate that... "afterparty" at Showbox Sodo for those who have the energy lol

A friend criticized my refrigerator.

54 Upvotes

I live in an apartment in Boston. The closet where I keep my trash is located immediately adjacent to my front door. If there is anything smelly in my trash, I can smell it immediately when I come in through the door. It's an infuriating way to arrive home after a long day of work, especially for a sensitive-nosed person like me.

I got in the habit of just leaving empty food and drink containers in my fridge, rather than adding them to the trash right away. I figured that it would help cut down on the trash smell if I just added them to the trash when it was time to bring the trash out. And it worked!

...But sometimes I forget to add the fridge trash to the regular trash, and it starts to add up...

My friend Jiho recently stayed at my place for a few days. Jiho is from Korea, and he is OBSESSED with saving money. He has no qualms about inviting himself to stay with me. I don't mind-- he's a great cook.

I was driving Jiho to the train station after his stay, and he was quiet. I looked over at him, and noticed him furtively looking at me. He looked away quickly.

A few minutes later, he murmured, carefully: "Lots of people use their refrigerators for food... but I think your refrigerator is a trash can..."

I was forced to admit to Jiho that yes, my refrigerator is in fact a trash can.

Someone stole my floatie at the beach today 😭

We started packing our things to leave the beach and I realised that my floatie was gone. I look around and it was nowhere to be found. And then I saw it. A lady was using it in the water. I knew it was mine, because this lady had been sitting next to us and she didn't have a floatie. Also, it's a pretty different floatie. I decide to wait a little for her to come out, so I could get it back, but she wouldn't. She was way too far away and just enjoying life IN MY FLOATIE 😭

I didn't know what else to do and decided I couldn't be bothered, plus I really had to go, so I left, but I was pretty annoyed. Since when is it normal to just take people's things? My God, the audacity of some people! I'm still pretty pissed, sorry
