– let’s assume hugh everett III’s theories on parallel worlds are correct. what did we domesticate instead of the humble dog in an alternate universe? are there now parks where you can let your pet bear run free? are we playing fetch with a silverback gorilla? is the old saying now “you can’t teach an old alligator new tricks”?
– small dogs aren’t dogs, they’re pests.
– ESA don’t exist. theres no reason your purse dog should be in a restaurant or grocery store

– why does amazon insist on sending you ‘resealable packaging’ bags but then always put the nearly indestructable shipping label over the perferated tear here point so that you can retain the bag for returns?
– how hot is too hot? 100°, 90°, 80°
– how late do you prefer your doctor: 1 hour, 1.5 hours, or 2.5 hours?
– when you run out of PTO why doesnt the work place offer UPTO. like i feel miserable, talking makes it worse and that is my job, why cant i take the time off and not be paid and not be reprimanded for being ill?
– why do beds have to be so comfy 24/7?
– why is everybody ignoring me and my dog pictures? do you think it has something to do with the office network being down and everybody scrambling to come up with ways to do their jobs without access to health records for the 24 patients waiting to see us this morning? or am I just being discriminated against?
– when is a time you’ve been backstabbed at work, or which one hurt the worst (e.g. one of the reasons I enjoy working alone (so I can backstab myself??))
– would you rather have a bunch of short dates with different people, or fewer longer dates with the same person?
– how much is too much to spend on anything disney… and is there a cap?
– why does everything discriminate against single people? food packages, cruise pricing, 2 for 1 deals, etc. holidays, commercials. where’s my half priced solo cabin in the woods with one steak and on dessert? whens my holiday?
– on a lighter, less ragey note… whats your favorite weird holiday? e.g. national red velvet waffle day, national chicken nacho week, etc.
– why does puberty twice sound like a band name?
– what is it about being bad that increases longevity? why is it that only the good die young?
– what’s the benefit to having children, besides free labor and beer retrieval?
