Ordering size 11.5 in sneakers to then figure out that model runs small. Can't we come up with a standard?

Same as trying on a pair of pants.  Then get four pairs of the same style in different colors and none of them fit quite the same.
I guess this isn't really trivial, but I'll put it here anyway. We rescued a big shepherd mix about 18 months ago.  This dog is the sweetest, mellowist, boy in the world.  I just don't get how someone got neglect a dog like this.  It just pisses me the [BLEEP] off.  What is wrong with people?

When your cat bites you on the hand and you're lucky enough to require augmentin to stave off the inevitable infection. 

Insomnia, irritability, loss of appetite, massive headaches, oral thrush, fatigue, etc. Sometimes the cure feels worse than the ailment. 

This too shall pass.

I feel ya! Last year my 18lb cat had a seizure while on my bed and I tried to catch him before he fell to the hard wood floor. Spoiler alert...don’t do that!! 
Clamped on like the jaws of life on the meaty part of my palm. Bit clear through! My hand swelled like the Stay Puft marshmallow man!

That looks similar to mine. I hate the side effects from the antibiotics but I'd rather not have an infection.

One of those pictures that makes you inhale sharply through your teeth. 

I'm sure the cat was completely unremorseful.

I know mine hasn't shed a tear for me. He literally bites the hand that feeds him and still demands compliance. The nerve! Lol
When I was a boy we had 2 black cats. One Christmas Eve I was sleeping on our living room couch because we had family visiting and my room was commandeered as sleeping space for an aunt. My mom thought it would be cute to wrap up catnip in Christmas paper as a gift for our cats. Of course the smell made the cats go crazy. In the middle of the night I was awakened by a screeching howl, opened my eyes to see one of the cats leaping from our fireplace mantle towards my face, claws out. I quickly covered my head but still suffered a scratch or two.

I've not been a fan of cats since.

The cats were roofied...it wasn’t their faults!
Speaking of cats, my brother-in-law sent us this photo, their cat was under their house, got its head stuck in the lattice work Beaver Cleaver style trying to get out.

Same as trying on a pair of pants.  Then get four pairs of the same style in different colors and none of them fit quite the same.

I have four shirts, same size, same style, same manufacturer, just different colors. One fits tighter than the other three.

Welcome to the world of every woman’s wardrobe. Until fairly recently a mans size was pretty standard, womens on the other hand? Not even close!! Don’t even get me started on vanity sizing.

Ummmm...no.  I've always had this problem.  I would expect four pairs of Dockers of the same style with the same waist and same inseam to fit the same.  Bad assumption.

I have a friend who will tell me a story in great detail, around 15 minutes in she will say "Long story short...".
