Talking to a coworker when a spider started slowly descending between us on a thread. We both froze and watched it land on my desk. "Do you want me to squish that for you?" he asked. "How dare you!" I answered. "That is my assistant." Anyway, that's why I'm the weird coworker.

I'm trying to find a taupe belt for an event and all the ones that don't look like shit are $100. I feel like this is a tax on knowing the word "taupe."

When I was a kid my family would drive 12 hours to my grandparents for various holidays. The trip was a nightmare of screaming, carsickness, and nervous dog smells. BUT we always stopped at the Mars Cheese Castle on the way and I bought as much smoked string cheese as my parents allowed.
