The filter collapsed into the coffeepot while it was dripping
Then Mr ITW had a total meltdown.
All of that was before 8AM.

Some of us can't afford talking underwear--and we'd never trust them not to blab our secrets, anyway.

someone said this recently and another person had no clue that the first person meant they gained weight. They were like "how are you washing them?"... in all seriousness.

I thought people knew the expression referred to gaining some weight. But I had to bring it to the people in the lounge who know best.
