Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

Got a haircut after work (and three beers). Barber just casually drops as she is inspecting my mane: "oh, you have a white patch here."

She immediately said "no tip for me, huh"

Great story. You should contact NASA and tell them all about it.

I got a raise. But that puts me into the next tax bracket, which means I'll be taking home less money than I do now. So I told my boss to take it back. They're not gonna trick me like that.

A few years back I was getting a haircut and a couple minutes into it I noticed a ton of grey hair on the apron they put over me and I called out the lady cutting my hair for not cleaning it off sufficiently after the previous customer.

She laughed and kept cutting my hair and I was like, WTF, so I mentioned it again. She laughed more and told me she thought I was joking. She gets out a fresh apron for each customer and that was all my grey hair on it.

Talk about getting humbled! 😞 😅

Grey hair is cool. Only losers make fun of grey hair.

didn't read but I bet it's crap .

here's the truth : what we call life is really a series of deaths . that may seem like a contradiction but they death and life are the same coin , for either one to exist both must exist .
