    Plot twist: Mr Web Dev had been secretly crushing on her for weeks and independently went around to the other 13 co-workers asking them not to go so the two of them would have time together.

      Plot twist: Mr Web Dev is also in charge of the mailserver of this small company, and was the only one to actually see the invitation. The rest was misteriously undelivered. (source: stolen from a previous time I saw this meme)

    I’m bored so here’s an apropos about nothing that’s barely related to this.

    I was an intern at a place and we had like a dozen or so of us that agreed to go to one of their place for drinks and videogames and hanging out. All the others ones bailed at the last minute except for myself another guy and a girl. We go to a liquor store and pick up some booze. The girl said she’s short on cash and asks if we can pick it up for her. We do and go back to that guy’s place.

    We’re playing some Smash bros and after a few drinks she starts getting handsy with me. I’m like, um … she’s had too much to drink and I’ll just leave her on the couch alone to get some space. I say to the dude that it’s only our second day at this new job and I’m not looking for any drama and I’ll let her get some water and get back home. Shortly after I get some water in the kitchen … the dude says, “oh shit!” and he’s carrying her to the bathroom as fast as he can as she almost puked all over his rug. We spent the next hour or so fishing her hair out of the toilet she’s puking in, finish up a veggie pizza that she’s asked for, and kinda freaking out about how poorly she’s handling her booze. We try to get her home and she’s refusing to give us her address. I go into her purse and find her license and I’m kinda frozen … the guy says, “did you find it?” I said … “nope … but I did find out she’s not legal drinking age …”. We did eventually find her address and dropped her off with one of her housemates at the end of the night … but it was quite an ordeal.

    Would have been nicer to have had a good event like this couple.

      My wife and I moved in together after 3 months, and were married about a year after that.

      Sometimes you just know.

        You’re right, sometimes you just know. I also moved in with my girlfriend after only 3 months. Been happy for the past 4 years but I moved out after 6 weeks with her

          Do you now live in separate houses? I feel like I’m a bit lost to the meaning here
