He dropped out of High School, and never bothered to get a GED, let alone any college/trade school. He mostly just sits in his room drin...
OtherLast night, I (28, F) went to dinner with a close friend and decided to leave my wallet at home. She has a habit of “forgetting” hers when we go out, leaving me to foot the bill. I thought this time, if she conveniently forgot again, it might finally push her to take responsibility. I felt like I was being taken advantage of and I was completely fed up. As expected, when the check came, she...

The ...

You may want to consider being a little more quie...
