The Haybale, the cop, and the truck driver that didn’t give two ****s

This literally just happened 20 minutes ago. I was on my way home from work driving on a 2 lane highway. I saw a giant haybale in middle of the 2 lanes and a woman cop by herself trying to move it. Every single car went around her to the left. I decided to pull over behind her cruiser and shouted out my window, “Do you need help?” She said “Oh my god, yes, thank you.” I hopped out of my car and went to go help her. This haybale was like 20 small ones tied together to form one giant 600 pound bale. Her and I had to start rocking it in order to flip it over and keep doing that til finally we were able to get it way off the road. I can’t believe not one other person stopped to help. Every single car went around us despite seeing her and I struggling to get it off the road. She was very grateful and said thank you and I ended up taking off.

My story doesn’t end here though. No, no, it doesn’t. You may have realized I said “and the truck driver that didn’t give 2 shits.” Well, I continued driving on the highway and like 10 minutes up the road I caught up to a haybale truck. I thought to myself no way this is the truck. I got closer and saw they were clearly missing one and the others weren’t strapped down because the ratchet strap was on the highway by the haybale the cop and I had just moved. I did everything I could to get their attention, laying on my horn, trying to get them to stop, putting myself in danger driving behind them to tell them their other bales aren’t strapped down. Finally, finally, they pulled over. The guy driving the truck was like “what? Why are you beeping at me? What’s up?” I then said, “dude, you lost a haybale way back on the highway by the McDonalds exit, a cop and I had to move it off the road and your other haybales aren’t strapped down now.” He didn’t say thank you, he didn’t say anything, other than, “oh yeah I’ll go back and get that” and then he pulled off.

What the actual \_\_\_??! If that was me I would’ve been freaking out but this guy didn’t seem to care at all. This literally could’ve caused an accident or killed someone, but yeah I guess “oh yeah I’ll go back and get that” is a good answer. I guess?

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

I got into a fight with a Netflix actor and didn’t even knew who he was

So this happened last year. I was working as a bartender in this kinda fancy bar in LA where a lot of people come to show off. You get influencers, actors, TikTok people… that kind of crowd. One Friday night, this guy comes in with a girl. He looked like some Hollywood dude. Tall, kinda flashy, wearing expensive shit, beard perfectly trimmed, just screaming “I think I’m important.” The girl he was with was one of those types that look like they live on Instagram. She didn’t say much. He, on the other hand, was being loud and acting like he owned the place. Demanding a table that was already reserved, talking down to waitresses, trying to be funny but really just being a jerk. Then he said something to my coworker (who’s really sweet btw) like: Are your hands good for anything other than pouring drinks? She just looked shocked. I saw red. I told him, Yo man, maybe treat people like people, not like background extras in your life. He gave me that look like, you don’t know who you’re tal...
