I would like to see how long you would last at some of the grassroots deaf social events I've been to...albeit very briefly.....:giggle: Some folks just don't get it, I just give up and move on.

68 miles in one day is the most I did.

Think the black box might get you in trouble? That black box is the least of your worries. It only records the last few minutes or seconds before a crash. Every click you make on your computer is being tracked. Every time you use your debit/credit card, you are being tracked. Got apps on your...

Working my ass off every single day for the last 26 years.

I would agree with you....to a point. The worst 'sensitive' people that I have to deal with are the ones that choose to interpret someones' statement one way, and stick with that opinion....because they WANT to believe that the other person was trying to hurt/insult/offend them. Even if you...

Every single veganite I've met eventually gave up after a few years and started eating cheeseburgers. They will not admit to falling off the wagon.

Wait....don't tell me you've quoted this....."Let me see if I can pull some money out of my ass"....

Are you aware that when people say "the check is in the mail", there is a very, very good chance you are being lied to? That is the number 1 excuse people have when they don't pay their bills. Do you have a signed invoice for the work you did, including the customer's full name, address, and...

Eavesdropping on other peoples' ASL conversation is just as rude as listening to others' voice conversations.....you have every right to say "mind your own business" when it happens......easier said than done, yes, tho....

1) They were his classmates, not students. 2) Yes, my Dad was bullied by his own mother, just like most bullies are bullied at home. 3) Narcissism is a mental disorder....a narcissist cannot come to terms that he/she may be wrong, and will never admit to any wrongdoing. Plus, how many 65+...

We don't get offended if we know you are trying to communicate with us...however, if you are going to talk about nothing but how wonderful you are, we get annoyed just like anyone else. In other words, be sure you are ready to have a good two-way conversation.

Same here....I wanted to get some cabinets for the basement workshop, but did not want to spend $1500 for new ones...found an entire kitchen cabinet set on CL in very good condition, 1960's Swedish made solid cabinets, for $250. My worst experience with CL customers is usually when I give...

Have you ever gotten in big trouble for speaking your mind? :giggle:

I would go back to that person and say "I said something positive about this person, now I feel like crap after what you said....what did I say that bothered you?" There are a lot of oversensitive people out there....I make it a personal rule that if I find myself having to explain more than...

I hear ya, Calvin. I would come home and try to explain to my parents that there is a kid that is constantly hitting me and making threats, etc, and my parents looked at me like I was making it up. I got plenty of bullying from my brother & Dad, so I kept things bottled up inside for years. I...

Awkward situation, yes.... 300lbs is much more than most furniture is designed to hold. I've been in a similar situation....and came up with a good excuse....I would tell the heavy guest that there is something wrong with a piece of furniture, and NO ONE is allowed to sit in it, not even...

I am envious....you got to ride....right now it is 3°F, 5 inches of snow & ice on the roads... hey, wait, if you got a trike, you can ride it in the snow!!!

Hmm....I don't recall very many teachers picking on me, but many of them were obviously very uncomfortable around me, treating me like a plague. One music teacher made me sit way in the back of the class, and complained that I did not listen, and could not figure out why I could not sing along...

Then you will love the movie....... The Final

When I was a teen, I wanted to earn money, but finding a job was difficult in a crappy economy and being deaf did not help either. I took whatever jobs were available....scrubbing toilets, washing dishes, flipping burgers, temp agencies, etc....all the jobs that no one wants to do. I hated my...
