Jerks of the Week: April 16, 2018 Jerk of the Week: Jerks of the Niece’s Birthday Party I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve attended lots of 1-year-old birthday parties lately. I may not have been invited to many parties when I was in my first four years of college, but I am now a…

Jerks of the Week: April 23, 2018 Jerk of the Week: A Very S***ty Day I’ve liked LA Fitness for the most part, but it’s really been pissing me off lately. The primary reason is that the hot tub never works. I know that this sounds like a first-world problem, but I’ve always maintained that…

Jerks of the Week: March 19, 2018 Jerk of the Year: Tipping Starbucks Cashiers I’ve made my opinion known about tipping Starbucks cashiers and baristas in recent Jerks of the Week posts.
