ReplyDeleteI like the recorded calls! Is that information intended to make callers think before they speak??
ReplyDeleteMy birth year starts with a 19 and I'm constantly getting down on the floor because dog toys roll under furniture.
ReplyDeleteThis article is witty, sharp, and unapologetically self-aware. It reads like a collection of humorous confessions that mix sarcasm, irony, and everyday observations in a very relatable way.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes it engaging is the contrast between playful exaggeration and subtle truth. Lines like ordering the last four donuts or following a “7/7/7 plan” at work highlight that mischievous, rebellious humor many people secretly relate to. At the same time, phrases about intimidation or “not being an asshole but a hemorrhoid” show bold, tongue-in-cheek confidence that gives the piece personality.
There’s also a clever use of idioms — bursting bubbles, stirring the pot, skating on thin ice — which creates rhythm and keeps the tone light and entertaining. It feels conversational, almost like scrolling through someone’s unfiltered social media thoughts.
Overall, it’s funny, slightly irreverent, and refreshingly honest — the kind of humor that makes you smirk because you recognize a little bit of yourself in it.
