When I was a teen in the eighties I started hanging out with the “wrong crowd” and instead of lecturing me my dad would say, “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.” Shit was deep when I was a kid and I still think about those words to this day. RIP pops 🥲

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" is the iconic final line spoken by Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) to Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind. Ranked as the #1 movie quote of all time by the American Film Institute, it signifies Rhett abandoning his tumultuous relationship with Scarlett.
I’ve been quoting it for years. It truly changed my life.

Ahh…. Mine was unforgettable enough Listnook removed it….
Worked at a rec center in my teens: roughly 2016 or so.
There was a wrestling event going on so a lot of people/travelers. I’m walking up a flight of stairs and a fairly old couple is starting to walk down.
Wife- “do you have your cane”
Husband- “no but I’ve got my (racial slur that starts with an N- - - - -)beater”
It was in fact his cane…. never felt that feeling before: I was disgusted, I am glad to see we as a society have come a long ways from such grotesque discrimination

Was having dinner with a friend at a restaurant. There was father and daughter (I’m assuming), who was at most 8/9, in the booth across the aisle from ours. We’re eating our dinner when the daughter started crying. The father then responded as follows: “Stop crying because I said no to ice cream! You get to eat for free, live in my house for free, have plenty of toys, and all the nice clothes you could want! Stop being a whiny f*****g b**** and be grateful I even let you have the apple juice!”

"You are simultaneously one of the smartest and dumbest people I've ever met", said by my girlfriend at the time when I was 24. I just thought it was hilarious. She would say odd, blunt things all the time, but that one really stuck with me. I wasn't even insulted by the "dumbest" part - I know I can be pretty fuckin dumb sometimes - it was how she phrased it and how sincere she was, like it was something that had been baffling and frustrating her for a while and she just had to say it.
