Best BTM Moments

Bouncing a check—that I’d written for a $2 coffee
Fixing my car with duct tape
Mom handing me a newspaper article about a guy who drives a car fueled by leftover fryer grease and saying, I think this guy should be your boyfriend.
At my date’s holiday party, we played doubles ping pong against his boss and his boss’s boss
At my review, having my boss say, Remind me, again, how much do you make?
Having the ceiling of my shower collapse on my head
Getting the bill for my most recent trip to the dentist and realizing that it cost more than my car (crowns are expensive)
Wondering if anyone would notice that I wore the same pair of pants to work three days every week
Moving to New York without a job or place to live because it seemed like a good idea, and making the decision while in Times Square
Using the same lipstick I’ve had since seventh grade
