Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

Gym Offenders

In working out at the gym, I have encountered a few types of people that deserve a rant. So let’s chug a protein shake and rage about them:

Offender 1: The Rogue Runner

I don’t often run on the indoor track, but when I do, there are signs that point which direction you should run. Apparently the gym staff alternates the direction every so often. Something about wear-and-tear. Either way, they make it pretty obvious which way you should run. Even the illiterate should be able to interpret an arrow pointing left and/or everyone else on the track going clockwise around the track.

How To Be the Most Unpopular Person at the Party

We have all been at that party or bar where our friend – or hopefully just an acquaintance – is making a scene/being a jerk/hasn’t showered since last weekend and who invited them? We all roll our eyes and can’t wait until the next morning when we know the whole brunch table will partake in bashing them.

If you want to end up on the brunch bashing list, here are some simple instructions:

Text your friend in the afternoon, “What are u doing tonight?” Once the friend invites you to join the pregame/party/bar scene, respond, “I’ll get back to you.” Yes, please do look for a better gig, and then come crawling back to me once you can’t find one.
Once the party has begun - aka Facebook notifies you the event has started – text the host, “How is it?” And whatever they say back, you should reply, “Oh shit lemme know when it gets bigger.” It’s cool that you don’t want to hang out with the person who invited you.
