Men Share 30 Annoying Things They Experience Because Of Their Gender

Things we find annoying because of our gender: the disproportionate volume of BP posts bashing men and encouraging women to share all the ghastly, traumatic and cringeworthy experiences they've had with this awful branch of humanity. Because apparently women can do no wrong.

Does someone know how to admit they don’t know, and also, do they know where they can go to find the answer? Lost_in_the_Library replied: Bed interview advice I ever got was that you don’t know the answer off the top of your head, say “that’s an interesting question - I’m going to take a minute to think about that before I answer” and then literally sit there for a minute and think. If you can train yourself not to panic and actually sit there and think it’s a killer strategy. It surprises the interviewers and simultaneously demonstrates your understanding that some things take time and consideration to be done properly.

Hey Pandas, What's Your Controversial Opinion On A Popular Book Series?

I.... actually liked twilight. I know, very unpopular, but I enjoyed the books and the movies.

I've only babysat one time and it was for a friend of my grandparents. All I really had to do was hang out with their 8 year old grandson for a night. Overall it was a pretty cool night. All we did was play 2K and Madden all night so it wasn't bad. But anyway, this family wasn't like billionaire wealthy, but wealthy enough to where they left me an envelope with $500 in it and told me whatever I don't spend on food, I can keep. Wealthy enough to have sped off in a Maserati for the dinner they were at. Wealthy enough to have a pool, jacuzzi, and nice BBQ builtin to the backyard out back. You get the idea, they were just an old couple with some money, and they were taking their grandson's parents out to dinner one particular night. Leave me with $500, so I think to myself, I might as well splurge like 30 or 40 bucks on a meal for 2 and pocket the rest. I was like 17 or 18 at the time so I can't say it was a negligible amount of money. Anyway, I take the kid outside to my car across the street, which, at the time, was my older brother's 2005 Toyota Corolla. He gets in, takes a look around, and goes "Where's the button that moves the roof back?" Sorry kid, no convertible here. He tells me that his parent's only have convertible cars and that he's only been in one other car that isn't a convertible, and that "he isn't my friend anymore." I thought that was pretty weird. Throughout the night, he did also make some interesting "rich kid" comments, such as asking if we could go to a restaurant that had steak on the menu. He revealed an interesting bit about his parents, saying that they keep talking about bringing him a sister when "the time is right." Apparently the kid asked the dad when the right time was and he said when "mommy stops being afraid." I then learned that the kid's mom and dad divorced about a year later. Felt bad. He was a cool kid, didn't really have that shi**y spoiled vibe. More like an innocent, curious, steered wrong by his parents vibe.
