Why Is It ...

… that when I create a To Do List, it lists things like burst someone’s bubble, or stir the pot, or toot my own horn … add my two cents … skate on thin ice … add fuel to the fire.

… that while I was at the bakery I heard a little boy behind me cry to his mother, “Mom, there are only four donuts left!” and when the counterperson asked what I wanted I said, “Four donuts please.”

… that while I am awful at sit ups and lousy at push ups my fuck ups are top notch.

… that I've always wondered if any of my recorded calls have been used for training or quality purposes.

… that y’all need to know that you can’t believe everything I post on here cuz Rosita is always stealing my phone

… that y’all don’t realize if your birth year starts with 19 you shouldn’t be wrapping presents on the floor

… I follow the 7/7/7 plan at work … do my job for 7 minutes, then spend 7 minutes booking a cruise and then disappear for 7 days

… that when people tell me I’m intimidating I always say, ‘Good. Think three times before speaking to me.’

… that you need to know that I am not an asshole; I am a hemorrhoid and I only irritate assholes.

… that I love it when one of the cats sighs and I say, “Oh, what’s up my little unemployed freeloader?”

  2. I like the recorded calls! Is that information intended to make callers think before they speak??

  3. My birth year starts with a 19 and I'm constantly getting down on the floor because dog toys roll under furniture.

  4. This 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.

    What 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.
