We took one of those small planes back from Asheville to Philly that only have a one seat row on the port side and two seats on the starboard side. There were maybe 30 people on the plane and only one flight attendant that was having way too much fun by himself. Some of the more memorable quotes from him that I remember:

"I do thank you for flying with us today because you are the reason why I get a paycheck."

"If you do not receive your luggage at the gate when we land, please proceed to baggage claim and you will receive your items at least within the next year."

"Now sit back, relax, and enjoy our 45-hour flight with service into North Korea."

Two days ago I was driving in the right lane of a highway and two cars entering from a ramp to my right coincidentally lined up with me. I couldn't change to the left lane so I slowed down to let the first merge ahead of me, expecting the second car to merge in behind me. Instead, the second car also zooms ahead and cuts me off so I hit the brakes, and then this car speeds into the left lane tailgating the car that was just blocking me. They're immediately followed by a cop car that came up on my left who pulled them over less than a minute later, which feels correct.

If a girl is to do the same superman thing where he takes off his disguise, we just look pervy. Not the same effect

I found an old pair of honest-to-god boxers in the back of my underwear drawer today. Put them on for all of about 10 seconds before I couldn't handle that sensory nightmare. You mean to tell me straight men live like that, with their bobs and bits just swinging around all over the place? Unsecured?!? Look, I'm not saying I tuck every day, but I need everything held in place at least a little bit. You don't get into a car without putting on a seat belt, do you?

Always so tragic when a vacuum cleaner doesn't work properly. Your first thought is to say, "wow, this vacuum sucks," but it doesn't suck and that's the problem.

I read a novel recently that had two ambassador characters that were both women. When a third character addressed them both simultaneously, they opened with, "Madams ambassador, ..."

Is that grammatically correct? I feel like as a native English speaker I should know this, but it just didn't intuitively seem right to me.

I feel like today was the day I've sweated the most of my entire life. Top three at the very least.
