Fucking SAME. I bartended and served through college (my degree doesn’t pay well due to YouTube tutorials that have flourished in my industry, lol ouch) and after, and then finally at 30 I started temping in manufacturing, which led to me permanently hired at a huge company with ridiculous benefits, and am now a supervisor in engine assembly that will make 6 figures in 3 years.

I desperately wish I had gone into trade school when I was 18.

Periscopin’ that they gon’ catch me jibin’ dirty

Tbf, where and when I grew up (USA, 1980s-1990s), it seems like at least 90% of people taking pictures said “ok everybody say cheese!”, including school photographers/sears photographers etc. I think it was so common because they were limited takes of tangible negatives, so “say cheese!” improved the chances of getting a smiling picture

My most hilarious and embarrassing story has an element in it that involves seeing my friend get knocked out by his father in front of my mom and brother. The kid was 15 and was in trouble for breaking landscaping bricks at a local park.

The hilarious story happens right after that, when 11 year old me got violently pantsed by bike handlebars in front of a man driving by and now I am realizing that the whole thing is traumatic :(

Yes!

Though, some other people have tried calling me Zann, which is phonetically half my name. This jerk just liked calling me Shawn

Yeah, my name is Roseanne and it got weird when someone just started calling me Sean
