Our office admin thought the state abbreviation NE stood for New England, and also doesn't know there's a difference between standard time and daylight time (as in she schedules everything in "eastern standard time" or "pacific standard time" all year round).
I am pretty sure that I'm your coworker... I never knew this and I write EST constantly.
How embarrassing.
Most people write that without thinking what it means--they are just trying to clarify Eastern vs Central etc.
I am one of the only people in my office who actually uses CDT, etc.
Oh. My. God. Some super rich fashion and lifestyle blogger in my city rehomed all three of her dogs on Instagram when she became pregnant with their fourth child. She lives in a 6,000 sq ft house and has nannies and housekeepers. Oh, and a personal chef. But no more time for dogs. I hate people.
I un-friended a FB acquaintance when she said she was re-homing her two little yappy purse dogs because baby #2 was on the way and she no longer had time for them. Meanwhile she was starting a business making those gigantic ugly flower headbands for baby girls. You've got time to do that but you don't have 10 minutes to walk your dogs, asshole?
I don't think you're missing much from not having her in your life.
My H, SIL and I walked into CB once to get lunch or something and yeah. I was like, "well, I COULD eat pancakes, but naw." And we went to some other chain next door. Bennigans maybe. We were in San Marcos, TX, so it was all big chain restaurants. I have, indeed, ordered breakfasts without meat (or given the meat to my H) before, though.
I once worked with a vegetarian who proclaimed her favorite veggie was Mac & cheese.
I was volunteering with a nutritional program for low income residents the other week, and two friends came up to my table. One said she didn't know anything about nutrition and her friend said, "Yeah, I have to tell her everything! She didn't know that black beans are vegetables!"

I believe that legumes are technically classified as vegetables.

If it's 11:50am and I say Good Afternoon, you don't need to correct me by saying Good Morning, and I also don't need to hear your life story. Just tell me who you are looking for so I can transfer you.

A few weeks ago, an attorney called our office to speak to a coworker regarding an analysis he'd done of some proposed legislative changes relevant to his area of specialty. My coworker was on vacation that day so the call was transferred to me. The analysis said something like, "Currently, the law requires blah blah blah. Under the legislation, instead, blah blah blah". The lawyer didn't understand what "instead" meant. I spent 10 minutes trying to rephrase it to him, and at the end of the conversation I still don't think he got it. Then, he asked me a few other questions that I couldn't answer (again, my coworker's subject area, not mine), so I told him there was a document available online that had all of the information he needed. When I gave him the website, he had to call his secretary into the room to type it into the address bar because he didn't know how to use the internet.
A few days later, when my coworker had returned, the attorney called again. My coworker's office is next to mine, and I could hear him having the exact same conversation with the guy that I'd had. Finally, my coworker offered to email him a packet of information that would be helpful to him, and the lawyer asked him to please wait until Monday to send it because his secretary was out for a few days and she's the one who opens emails.

LOL that's the exact look I had on my face during these phone calls!
