My co-worker is in her early 40s, has never been married, and while seeing someone is not currently engaged. She's been living on her own for probably close to 20 years at this point.
At lunch three of us were talking about baking and she doesn't have a hand mixer or anything nor a KitchenAid and eventually it came out that she hasn't bought one because she's waiting for her currently non-existent shower. Because -- and I quote -- "that's what my mom's friends are for."
Bitch, I bought my own damn KitchenAid Mixer and I'm about 10 years younger than you.
