A childhood friend from up north was staying the night. He’s got a date today with some woman and was really excited — thought he might get lucky. Naturally, I’m happy for him. Before heading out, he asked if he could borrow my electric shaver. After he’d left, I went into the bathroom and noticed…
Have you thought carefully about what was most terrible in your previous relationships so that you can avoid it in your current or future relationship? For me, the worst thing was a terrible custody battle after the divorce. We fought tooth and nail over who the children would live with after the divorce. And of…
One thing about old women annoys me immensely. Let me explain. I went to a bar yesterday, like I sometimes do on Saturday nights. I was peacefully sipping my drink at the counter when suddenly one of those old women showed up. Clearly had more than a few drinks already, wearing ridiculously trashy makeup (definitely…
A friend recommended a type of cheese I hadn’t tried before—Cantal, from Lidl. That evening, I sliced a piece onto a salt cracker and settled on the couch to watch a movie. In the dark, I almost knocked over my wineglass, and as I grabbed it, the cheese fell to the floor. According to the…
When I turned 40, my wife woke me with a passionate kiss, wished me a happy birthday, and said she had an unforgettable surprise for me. I was absolutely buzzing. During the day at work, she sent flirty messages, teasing me about whether I could wait until evening, saying this would be the best birthday…
Shoe shopping with a teenage girl: we visit every shop in an enormous shopping mall. Shoe shops twice, some three times, milkshake bar once, chocolatery once, and all other clothing shops at least once. After two and a half hours, we find a nice summer dress, which—of course—she can’t wear this autumn anymore, but it’s…
My human just lies there, even though I’ve been standing next to the bed whining sweetly for at least three minutes. Finally, he gets up, sighs, and says, “Could’ve slept in longer this weekend.” Well, yes, but I want to go outside! I trot to the front door to wait while he gets dressed like…
This happened over 20 years ago. I was at the Heureka Science Centre with my kids. There was a microscope set up where you could look at bull sperm. Next to it was a sign that said, “Live sperm available from the guide.” I turned to the gentleman standing nearby and asked, “Could we get…
I’ve just learned that a fake AI-generated advertisement is being circulated on social media using my name. It’s a vile attempt to deceive people by exploiting my good reputation. In this ad, a character impersonating me promotes an unbelievably profitable cryptocurrency investment, promising returns of thousands of percent annually. Worse yet, the character offers women…
Today was my first time taking a drug test. Not the fun kind where they try different substances—the kind where you pee in a cup while a nurse watches you like a hawk, then they analyze it to see if you’ve been using. I prepared thoroughly. Drank lots of water, avoided the bathroom, and came…
