  • These pillowcases are from a hospital’s “used sheets” sale.
  • I accidentally set the DVR to record “New Episodes and Repeats” of Law & Order, and it filled the entire hard drive.
  • A coworker keeps saying “hashtag” in conversation.

  • Ello just isn’t taking off.
  • Recovered childhood memory of soggy fish sticks.

  • She’s so tired of our arguments about whether Battlestar Galactica made any sense, because goddammit, it clearly didn’t.
  • I haven’t disavowed non-butter spreads.
  • I want kids, but she wants Ewoks.
  • Ever since she drove her car down the train tracks, she’s been on the town’s shitlist.
  • Can’t I just *say* I’m OK with the 21 Jump Street reboot, even if I’m not?
  • It wasn’t OK that I reply-alled “Nope” to her sister’s pregnancy announcement.
  • Apparently, deli ham isn’t OK in bed.
  • There’s no statement in the credits saying that no Oompa Loompas were harmed in the making of the movie, which is basically a clear statement that Oompa Loompas were harmed.
  • It’s too hard to find a reliable blade sharpener.
  • Her Kickstarter for “Original Field Recordings of My Neighbors Doing It” got reported and banned.
  • When the kiss cam focused on us at Citi Field, I got stage fright and threw up.

  • Can’t figure out exactly what a millennial is.
