Me: I kinda just wanted to borrow your APC boots for my trip :)
Big Sister: I know, well...maybe you can. I am very attached to them, you know.

Not to get all feministy on you, but honestly, would there be this level of scrutiny of a male candidate, say, Jeb Bush’s son getting appointed to a Senate seat in Florida? (via caro)
Yes there would be. Loads. That’s why Beau Biden (yes, the son) is not...
Thing I Hate

Any user name that consists of the AdjectiveNounNumber formula.
I think there should be categories of Things to Hate. This is by no means as bad as phrases like “old soul”. This is just very lame. Calling someone an “old soul” is far worse. Just say “bitter”. Or “old fart”.
Hey Tumblr, I have another confession

B&H Makes Me Hate Life
deleteyourself:
I have to disagree with you there Marco…
Every time I go to B&H I feel like I’m an ant scrambling for $100000 electronics only to be berated by an old Hasid who talks to me like I’m an idiot. Not only that, but it takes about 3 different counters to actually purchase anything. I think the best camera store is Amazon since you don’t have to talk to anyone, though B&H...
