Shoutout to the guy who just walked into the apartment gym, made a beeline for the weight bench, picked a wedding band up off the ground next to it, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then immediately left
Sorry let me translate: imagine you left your 24 karat gold non monogamous commitment talisman given to you by polycule teammate

at the apartment gym
Millennial weddings be like “what do you mean you have to go home already? We’ve only been screaming Fall Out Boy songs at each other for four hours and the midnight pizza isn’t even here yet. You’re going to miss the sparkler exit!”
Remembering the time at my old firm when all the partners were bragging about owning a peloton in front of us broke associates so just to piss them off I said I had two pelotons and the woman partner got so mad she blurted out that I could afford it bc I’m not married like she is
Linkedin headshot twitter lawyers love to come on here and be like
I had an associate. She was a Woman.
Pregnant with her 1st child. Asked for a few hours of PTO to give birth.
I said, “take a whole day. And don’t even think about your inbox until after the birth.”
Be a human
I have to laugh when the biglaw people try to do serious discourse about their jobs as if they’re real and important. It’s like watching the monopoly man and Mr. Peanut in a presidential debate
The relationship I have with a lot of my clients is like when your cat gets their claw stuck in something and you’re trying to help them get unstuck but the cat is biting and scratching as you try to help them
Guys it’s really not funny to be making jokes about people who get DWIs. That kind of thing can really impact someone’s life. A single DWI can ruin the tour
Linkedin headshot lawyers who work at random ass midsize firms love to come on here and say shit like “I often fantasize about becoming a lowly starbucks employee… but alas I am cursed with the burden of this big important brain 😔”
My 1st lawyer job was at a wannabe big firm that paid us $90k to bill a minimum of 2000hrs/yr. High turnover. Partners called us “disloyal” for getting trained then lateraling. Coworker told a partner “but we have student loans” & partner said “then your parents don’t love you”
A few years ago I sat down with my friend who had just broken up with her bf and she told me how horrible he was and I agreed that he’s a huge piece of trash and we shit talked him for several hours so like what exactly am I supposed to say at their wedding next year?
I’ll never forgive these people for deciding “Esq.” is bad or whatever. Objectively a very cool title that sounds like something a knight on a horse with a sword would be called but none of us are allowed to use it because Brady might not give us a job at the boring dork factory
@SAOliver_Atty
I’ve been known to not hire attorneys that have Esq on their email signature. Based on the origin I find them to have an inflated view of self.
If by 30 your circle isn’t talking about how none of us maybe want to even practice law anymore and maybe we all made a mistake and maybe there are still other paths available and maybe we can transfer our skills elsewhere and maybe a JD advantage job would be more chill and mayb
It’s so funny when law professors jerk themselves off about the rigorous “trial by fire” of cold calling when the only consequence of being unprepared for a cold call is them looking at you like this before calling the next person
Random person at courthouse: Excuse me, are you a lawyer?
Me 3 years ago: I’m actually a student attorney with the criminal defense clinic 😊 do you need help finding a lawyer? 🤓Would you like a business card? 🤗
Me now: No I have been charged with murder
Average PD discourse: how do you square your abolitionist ideology with your support for victims of violent crime
Average biglaw discourse: is it okay to drink on the party boat during your internship at the money factory
Lawyers on here love to be like “look I know people disagree with the decision but here is my legal analysis of why SCOTX didn’t let that lady get an abortion” we actually don’t need your thread, Chet. There’s no legal reasoning behind being a ghoul actually
Biglaw associates love to post an insta story of a bug on their office window and be like “omg how did it climb up all 70 floors to my office on the 70th floor I’ve never seen a bug climb 70 floors up to the top floor of my building to my office on the top floor (the 70th floor)”
Literally love to just copy and paste a partner’s exact language into a document and watch them fill it with commas and wording changes upon review bc they think I wrote it
I won’t judge the financial columnist who got financially scammed. I’m a contracts lawyer but outside of work I’ll pretty much just sign whatever without reading it
@pswayne7
Yes that’s literally exactly what I’m saying Patrick I will break out in hives if I start having fun and I hate my friends’ guts. You caught me!
Kate Middleton has actually just been in line at Target this whole time because they have one register open and the self checkouts are closed for some reason
Cracked open what I thought was an ice cold Bud Light at work and almost called 911 after taking a gulp of this. Sodas need to be labeled more clearly!
Paralegal said she’s allergic to strawberries and can’t eat this. I literally saw her drinking a strawberry Fanta last week. That’s fine I’m taking the cost of these cake ingredients out of her paycheck. We don’t like liars at this firm
Made a little something for my paralegals and legal assistants. I’m always finding ways to show my appreciation. Not every lawyer does this, but I believe it’s important to be kind 🥰
