Best Gabe Ever

Gabe and Allison have some hot take animal thoughts to share. Some employers need to know how to erase HTML in their texts, or at least get people's names right in the templates. The trio discuss whether or not to give people ultimatums in relationships and whether or not you have to share that ultimatum with your partner. r/apartmentliving brings us a wholesome tale about an OP finding candy wrappers on their porch. An OP realizes she and her new bf got the same matching tattoos as him and his ex. YIKES. Gabe's going back to the gym and he's flossing, but he's not like...working on himself. A woman worries her teacher spouse is flirting with his former student. Then, Yelp reviews for a car wash bring so much joy and cats with thumbs.
