When they left their door unlocked, a dude walked into their apartment, randomly walked into one of their bedrooms and flicked on the light, then used their john, …

Meetup Meets My Rage Again
Remember last September when I was talking about Meetup? Well, nothing has really changed, except I have a new reason for Meetup to piss me off. I have limped along for a year dealing with their half accessible interface. I cannot choose a Meetup place by choosing from my venues because the options to choose …
