We all slip up sometimes at work and say something inappropriate to our employers. But just how badly do we do that? If you're concerned about crossing the line with the man or woman who signs your paycheck, here are a few things that you should definitelyavoid saying.

1."Can I borrow 20 bucks?"

2."Sorry I was late to work, I was taking a massive dump"

3."Is it okay if I smoke in here? I always thought the 'No smoking' signs were just suggestions"

4."I feel like our lives would be a lot easier if we just openly recognized the chemistry we have here."

5."I was really thinking about not coming into work today, but then I realized how badly I needed the money."

6."You're actually kind of alright. Everybody said you were a huge douche bag when I started working here."

7."I really hate my job"

8."Do you have a lighter?"

9."Is there another department here that you don't run?"

10. "Are you married?"

11. "I know someone I could totally set you up with."

12. "Are you sure you want to eat that...you know what it does to you."

13. "Did I see you at that Weight Watchers meeting last night?"

14. "I don't get paid enough to do that."

15. "What's the Wi-Fi password?"

16. "I think you'd be a lot more relaxed if you got laid."

17. "You'd look so much better if you got a nose job."

18. "How long do I have to work here before I can take my vacation days?"

19. "Are you on your period? Because you seem kind of cranky today."

20. "Can I have your number?"

21. "I'm new in town, do you know any good drug dealers around here?"

22. “Honestly, I just really don’t care enough to pay attention to what you’re saying to me right now.”

23. "I love you."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
