My mom just got a new cell phone. She was setting up her voicemail on it and wanted to see if she did it correctly so she asked me to call her. I called her phone and she picked up so I told her to just let it go to voicemail. She said OK. I called back and she picked up again.

My grandma called me a few days ago and said her computer wasn’t working. I went over there the next day because I knew she wasn’t around and started looking for the problem; she had said it wouldn’t turn on. I had just moved the TV and a few other things in the room so I assumed I’d bumped a plug or something. So I got there, saw what appeared to be a loose plug, shoved it in, turned on the computer and it worked fine. Next day she calls again and says it’s still not turning on: “It turns on for about 2 seconds and then shuts off before it gets to the ‘Dell’ screen.” Confused, I go back and watch her turn it on…she puts her finger on the power button to turn it on…then proceeds to leave it there until the computer shuts back off.

I wish ya'll would stop being so vindictive...

So my freshman roommate (like 6 years ago) was awesome, and we were totally suited to live together. Neither one of us was bothered by the other's poor habits or vices. We kinda hung with different crowds though, and I would often stay with friends for days on end and come back to our room at random times with no notice. No worries but 90% of the time he'd be whackin it... Read More » when I came in the room. He'd never fail to do the "hunch over the laptop and look really intently at the blank desktop screen like he was looking for something" pose when I suprised him. This happened literally about 15 times over the year. I would usually be sober, but I pretended to be so drunk every time and fake stumble to the bathroom like I didn't notice, giving him time to adjust himself and save him the embarassment. Your welcome buddy, happy masturbating!
