    My topic suggestion is childhood/upbringing!
    -strict parents or cool parents
    -curfew
    -parents divorced or married
    -siblings
    -lived in a suburb or city
    -were you a sheltered child
    -were your parents helicopter parents
    -were you an independent child, etc.
    I think this would be a super interesting topic and would be super telling to why each of you are who you are now as adults!

    I think it would be nice to have a topic of “living alone”
    My first year of college not in a dorm and I’d like to here your opinions on living alone and good habits to keep. I know you must have all lived alone at some point or deal with roommates. Also moving out of your childhood home/homesickness It would be cool to hear roommate horror stories if you guys have any

    Matt's story really sounds like a guy that fabricated a bunch of fake credit cards and had Matt unwittingly test the numbers to see if they would go through and then the guy could go along after to all these places with copies of those cards and buy ANYTHING and know it would clear and he could skate...meanwhile if one failed bad enough to get security or the cops to drop on Matt he'd be left holding the bag while suddenly this guy's cell phone is no longer picking up. Tooootally sounds like he accidentally helped a guy commit credit card fraud

      Thinking about it further, I've had my credit card number stolen twice years ago and both times there would be a *ton* of these piddly little purchases all over town before buying some really expensive shit and I was always like 'this guy stole my credit card to run errands?!?' but it was probably people like Matt 'testing' the card without realizing it

It is also a good way to check who pays attention to their cc statements and who wouldn’t notice a few $100 missing. 😂 the “Swedish” man wasn’t going back to the specific stores he was just testing the boundaries on the card.

    Ok so when I was like 10, my next door neighbors were retired and would travel a lot all the time! They would pay me $5 a day to go over and take care of their 2 giant cats. I’d go over after school, do my homework in her office, watch TV. Literally felt like I had my own place lol. Best job ever!! Mind you, they would be gone for weeks at a time so I felt so rich once they came back to pay me😂 They would also bring me tons of souvenirs from wherever they went.

    I had an interview with cold stone when I was 15 too and it was WILD. They asked me if I were to host a party, how many people would I invite, if I was babysitting and the child was misbehaving, what would I do, etc. like HUH what does that have to do with serving ice cream?? And then they gave us music sheets and we had to SING. Basically what Mike was explaining. It was the weirdest thing. Didn’t get the job either 😂

    I was on a work zoom call (50+) people and someone accidentally turned on their camera. You could see she was walking around with her phone and she walked into the bathroom, propped her phone up, and got into the shower. It took a solid 2 minutes before the presenter realized someone was showering on camera and she closed the entire presentation. Just mid sentence stopped talking, froze, and the whole zoom closed out.

Relationships are the only way to progress but it’s not so black and white. It’s not just professional in office 9-5 and then out of office other hours for social events.

    I get those white things too like Carly.. It's rare but when I do it's really gross because they stink. The smell is rancid .. She's right, the smell is specific and sooooo bad.
