I really hate the "bitches be crazy!" rhetoric for about 3 different reasons

Note that nobody in this thread actually implied that "bitches be crazy." Just bitch, singluar, be crazy.

My guess is the primary one is grammatical.
"Kid, I make two night auditors like you in the toilet every morning."
And at no time would I ever refer to her as a bitch, either. Just a little clingy, especially getting 2 AM texts that say "It's easier for me if you just say "I'm not interested" then to just ignore me".
Yes I recognize that I said I would text you tonight, but it was midnight by the time I got home and that it would be nicer just to text in the morning. Which I responded with and then she said "Midnight? That sounds like a good date!" I was at a coworker BBQ.
The very fact that I have to explain my personal activity is a huge red flag after a weekend of hanging out. And so I've explained that this isn't going to work and while she's very nice and I enjoy her company a lot, and she's super hot, this is no go.
And she had already started leaving stuff at my place so she's coming by after work to take it all.

this thread just made me think about it
Yeah, well, unlike you I like to operate with a modicum of respect for people both online and off.
WOW, that is super clingy for such a new dating relationship. You've known her for what, a week? I don't blame you one bit for hitting the eject button.
Since Friday. Yeah, things probably got a little too hot too quickly and that's my fault.
Takes two to tango, mon ami. I'm just saying...
Oh she was certainly eager.
Yikes.

Yeesh, dial it back man. It's a rant thread. He can rant.
it's aight, I don't really take it seriously when someone brags like a high school kid about getting laid and starts lecturing me on respecting others
That's better
God damn. My GF just got scammed about winning a "Free" vacation. Apparently they've hit quite a few people in the area. They charge you for the plane tickets during the call, and then when you get the package details in the mail you realize the restrictions are set up so that very few can actually take advantage of it.
It's not the money that hurts. I mean, it does. She's a single mom working part time trying to finish her degree. So she has very little money, but that will get disputed and she'll get it back. It's that she got hit a bit of a low point. She was so excited to actually have something good happen. Hearing her voice when I told her what it was broke my heart.
She has wanted to bring her kid to Disney for so long, and she thought this was her chance.
This feeling sucks.

Was the speed a sort of burrowing, "barb" tactic that is designed to insinuate her into your life and make her harder to dislodge?
Or was it a nestling, a rush to hurry up and get "safe and comfortable" as quickly as possible?

Without stroking my ego too much, I think it was a barb tactic designed to prevent me from disappearing more than to keep her insinuated. She kept asking how the hell I was single. And then would talk about how she was deleting her POF account because she's good to go. hint hint Adam should do the same. And then just kept complimenting me on anything and everything.
And I know her whole life story start to finish, her ex-husband, her two kids that got given up for adoption, etc. She was a really nice girl, just operating out of a different book than I was.

Let's just hope that book wasn't a Stephen King novel. Ankles are important.
I just interviewed for a job that I don't really know if I want. But I take all interviews seriously. So I spent about $100 on a new shirt and slacks. I can't really afford this!
I also tanked on the interview. I was expecting a technical job with some management. But it was a management job with a lot of inventory processes involved. I did not learn that this was a management position until 20 minutes before the interview. So I was not ready for management theory questions.

They have changed the definition of "Literally" to literally be the the one that isn't literal.
Fuck this culture. Fuck this language. Fuck. This. Planet. RELEASE THE PLAGUE.

That had better be fucking Photoshopped.They have changed the definition of "Literally" to literally be the the one that isn't literal.

As I have noted before, "literally," used for emphasis, is at least as old as the 17th century, as argued in this article which cites a use recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary. So you know.
I had another interview for for a better paying position. But I did not know about the interview until a few hours before. So I was at work wearing a Polo shirt I should have retired a year ago... But the interviewers knew me already, so I was not making a first impression.
I think the interview went well enough that I'll be considered on my merits, not on screwing up the interview like I did the day before.
I don't give a shit how long morons have been using it incorrectly.
Is Jane Austen a moron, though?
If she used that term incorrectly, yes. And she's an overrated, shitty author to boot.
