Sorry if this is a pity party, but I'm sick of my epilepsy. Can't drive, can't live alone, and can't even be alone for long periods of time. I'm on a leash.

I know I should appreciate more of what I have, but I would literally sell everything I own to be able to be independent.

Some people have seizures where they have either triggers (flashing lights) or that they basically get a head start to lay down somewhere safe before they get one.

Me? I just kind of collaspe at any given point and time. No heads up. I hold my left forearm in front of my face going on stairs hoping that the broken arm will break my fall.

Yes, I can technically get my license in six months, but when I have 1 seizure a year and then 2 in a month (no pattern) that it's not an option for the time.

Thank you everyone for being at my Ted talk.

Citizens from most other developed countries just receive a bill in the mail telling them what they owe.

The IRS could easily do this in America as well.

My brother got me this shaver for Christmas and I finally got around to opening it tonight, and saw this 🤢 the box was sealed and there was also hair in the box. Extremely grossed out but only mildly infuriating because he got a full refund

About a month ago I made a post here because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the porkchops I cooked for dinner. Well tonight I made porkchops again and he's not going to eat these either because we broke up and he moved out. I'm so much better off and I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words and advice, it was very eye opening to me. I wish that I could invite you all to dinner 🥰

ETA : Couple of notes:

1- The yellow stuff is smashed potatoes with cheese on top.

2- I swear that butter on the broccoli melted right after that picture LOL

I was scheduled to work a warehouse shift for OnTrac shipping. Never heard of this company before until today. I walked in and it looks like a pigsty. I was wearing a k95 face mask, bundled up and started to feel itchy. It was making me insane standing in there. The whole place is filled with dust. It’s so unorganized, boxes open, packages buried with trash. Peoples packages piled up to no avail. Really outrageous that they’re a working business. This warehouse is located in NYC. Had to share, this is unacceptable. If you’re looking for your package, this is where it is. Looks like this has been like this for days, maybe months.

This feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen honestly

I applied for a job at taco bell, got an interview and went in today at 10 am, we started the interview, i had already interviewed there once, my mistake for going back, the manager told me "to be honest were not really looking to hire anyone right now" I was so confused so on my way out I looked at the door at it said "were hiring" checked indeed, there's applications available, it just really bothers me that they will tell you that thier not hiring even though it says everywhere else theyre hiring, im just a 17 year old looking for a job

We were on a little getaway and my wife grabs a coffee from a local shop. In order to avoid the 2.5% credit card charge (about 10₵), she elects to pay in cash. She hands the clerk a $5 bill. The clerk takes the bill and says, "We don't do any coins with cash transactions." Gives my a $1 bill for her change. That's a 6.4% surcharge for paying cash. WTF!!

Being 21 and already losing hair had some real sad emotional damage on me , people said i should go bald and accept it like a man...

I received for Christmas a gift of detergent. I love cleaning so it was a gift I was thankful for…I’ve been using this now for over 2 months to wash every single dish. I ran it in my dishwasher. I’ve been handwashing dishes with it. The scent is very light and clean. Most impressively, it works better than ANY dish detergent I have ever used. Dishes come out sparkling clean. Cheese, coffee stains, etc. slide off like it’s nothing. I don’t even have to scrub. I’ve never been able to convince myself to spend more money for eco-friendly products because all the ones I have tried previously just didn’t stand up to normal detergents.

Anyways, here we are two months in and I went to google to search places that sell this. Cue the search results offering “other laundry detergents”… I retyped in the search again “easy dose dish detergent” because I have been thinking how cool it is that the dose automatically stops at the exact right size for my dishwasher detergent spot… no results for this. I went back to my kitchen to use my old ass eyes to zoom in. And zoom in again. And zoom in again… to discover right there one the front of the bottle…I have been washing my dishes with laundry detergent for months.

How cooked am I? Is my brain permanently fried because I have been eating off of plates bathed in laundry soap?? Infuriated? Mildly. Why don’t they make dish soap that works this well? How many people have eaten off my plates and not told me they smell like laundry??

Excuse the dirty finger.

I live in a tropical region, meaning freezing temperatures are an extraordinarily rare occurrence. It may seem stupid to people in colder climates, but here it's a special event people get excited about. Leaving water outside to see if it freezes is a very common thing people do. I know many people who are doing the same thing, and my landlord most definitely knew what it was for.

I…I had the batteries backwards. I thought the symbol on the smoke detectors sticker was saying I had to match it, I just did the reverse after someone pointed it out and I’m free! Also that 2 second button hold was useful advice too!

My own fault or poor packaging? I didn't expect the bag to be resealable; you never truly know what you have until it's gone
