Revenge has many attributes. It comes after maliciousness, it can be an act of purpose, it can be karma. Revenge can be anything, but it is definitely one thing: sweet.

I sat and monitored

The guy on the yellow bus

I noted things about him

Only seeing disgust

He had just gathered the news

About the harmed females

Without seeing the similarity

Between this and his tale

But it was a juicy tale! It was juicy!

He was in denial too

About his little secret

Afraid of what they will do

So he settled to keep it

But I knew all about it

And I needed to strike

'Cause he is coming to the light

'Cause I'm filled with dislike

But it was much dislike! It was much!

I'm doing this for the whole

So they can keep livin'

As I was gonna stop

But he needed to stop too

So you may see me watching

You may feel my deep gaze

But know that I am here

To make sure that you will pay

Revenge is sweet! Sweet to treat! Revenge is sweet!

Revenge is many things. We've all experienced it, whether we got revenge or one took it on us.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."
