Today, stepping up to the plate and pinch hitting in my absence is Aurora, of Authentically Aurora, and quite frankly in this guest post she hits a Bitter grand slam. It helps that the subject is the Bittercrats in the government, but she nails it. I should mention that she actually wrote this post LINK HERE on her … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Aurora from Authentically Aurora – “Government Bittercrats”

Bitter Guest Post – Alex from Only Bad Chi “Rule Breaking Bitterness”
Next up in the Bitter-Ben-is-finally-out-of-our-lives-for-a-little-bit tour, is Alex from Only Bad Chi. We have pretty much figured out that we are soul twins, because she is as bitter as I am. She blogs about many things that irritate her like men, guys, males, and people getting in the way of her food. She's agreed … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Alex from Only Bad Chi “Rule Breaking Bitterness”
Bitter Guest Post – Ben from Ben’s Bitter Blog – “Out to Sea Giftures”
Today's guest poster will be me. Bitter Ben is a blogger...blah blah...Clearly, I either have delegation issues, or someone didn't offer to do the Friday Giftures, both of which make me bitter. What you should know is that I have just been through a torturous week of eating tons of free food, getting sick from … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Ben from Ben’s Bitter Blog – “Out to Sea Giftures”
Bitter Guest Post – Mindy from Yellow Fever – “Started From The Bottom”
Today's substantial upgrade at substitute blogging is Mindy from Yellow Fever, a guest poster who totally volunteered when I coerced her into doing a post for me about a month or so ago. When I first started reading her blog, I knew she was a bitter blogger cut out of the same cloth as me. … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Mindy from Yellow Fever – “Started From The Bottom”
Bitter Guest Post – Annie from Under and Over and Around and Through – “Bitter Grocery Store Experience”
Today's Bitter Ben substitute teacher is actually a substitute teacher, Annie Emmy Evans from Under and Over and Around and Through. No, she's not going to just put on video on and let you slide through the day. You are actually going to have to pay attention, because she has words of bitterness for you. … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Annie from Under and Over and Around and Through – “Bitter Grocery Store Experience”
Bitter Guest Post – Matti of Schnitzel Adventures – “The Bitterness of Being a Woman”
First up on the Bitter-Ben-is-on-vacation-and-doesn't-want-to-do-anything-on-it-so-he's-having-guest-posters-do-all-his-work-tour is Matti from Schnitzel Adventures. Her area of expertise in bitterness is being a German living in America. We both share a disdain for the very few holidays in America, and disdain for Grumpy Cat, who is making tons of money being bitter while we are much bitterer and much … Continue reading Bitter Guest Post – Matti of Schnitzel Adventures – “The Bitterness of Being a Woman”
I’m blogging to you from the Bitter Past
Hello Bitter Blog Followers. It is I, Bitter Ben, and I come to you from the Past, because when you read this, I will be soaking in the darkness and bitterness of the moonlight on a cruise ship. I am obviously complaining to some poor, sad ship worker about something bitter or another and trying … Continue reading I’m blogging to you from the Bitter Past
Murphy’s Law Friday Giftures
Murphy's law is the only law I follow all the time. For instance, I'm always on time or early to everything, which for the most part is a meaningless skill. But the one time I need to be early, something will always happen to me that causes lateness. A flat tire, run out of gas, … Continue reading Murphy’s Law Friday Giftures
Almost Bitterly Famous
I've had my brushes with fame in the past. One time when I was a stupid kid, in about 4th grade, I was outside at recess in the cold South Dakota air, running and sliding on the massive skating rink that was out recess area. I slid once and hurt my arm. Nothing big, until … Continue reading Almost Bitterly Famous
The Great American Indoors
Raise your hand if you've been seeing the previews for the upcoming comedy disaster movie staring the Rock and some other people, and based on Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas? OH, you means its already out? Well, little known fact. I grew up in California, in Pasadena, not far from the Rose Parade and was … Continue reading The Great American Indoors
Bitter Observation Day
I was left in charge of looking after the kids for several hours, so the first thing I did was take a nap for a few hours. That way I could keep an even sharper eye on them when I woke up. When I did wake up, I made sure that I got some fresh … Continue reading Bitter Observation Day
Suns out, Guns out
The weather in Seattle is getting warmer, which means people are taking advantage of being outside like they should, because in another day or two, it could be another one of those days. The ones that happen ALL the time in Seattle. 50-60, cloudy, a little windy, perhaps a little wet and discombobulating enough that it could … Continue reading Suns out, Guns out
I’m here to ruin your day
You know how optimists (or optometrists I can never tell the difference) always try to find the one little positive thing in even the darkest moments of your life? Well, I'm here to flip the script on that, and find the bitterest things in even your shiniest moments. I'm here to put some gloom … Continue reading I’m here to ruin your day
Ways to Express Bitterness without Talking
Headaches. A lot of things give me these. The flu, bad comedy, the Bachelorette, the Bachelor, grammar, too much information, too many people, doing too much work, gardening, going outside, phones, world peace, close basketball games, the internet not working, Internet Explorer, the future, the past, and the present. Those are all things that make … Continue reading Ways to Express Bitterness without Talking
Bitter Storage Unit
Storage units are for when you have so much junk, you just can't take having any more, so you rent a garage door, a lock and a security gate watched by someone 24/7 for $100 a month. As you probably know, I have a lot of junk, but I don't like paying money to store … Continue reading Bitter Storage Unit
Break stuff Friday Giftures
As you all know, this week sucked bananas(this phrase courtesy of Lil Rants over at her blog Lil Rants). Why you ask? Must you even ask? I didn't have pizza every single day, the naps were far too sparse, and my back(along with every other part of me) was a little sick and tired of … Continue reading Break stuff Friday Giftures
The Bittervengers
I finally went to see the Avengers this weekend. It was action packed and epic and had some of the coolest fights ever (Hulk vs. Iron Man's Hulk Buster). Many lessons were learned, like the working together is the best way to fight a common enemy and all lessons learned on previous adventures can … Continue reading The Bittervengers
Bitter Buzz
I can always tell how one of my posts is doing not because of the stats, but how my phone(they don't call it a smart phone for nothing) reacts. If it starts scaring people around me and buzzing, I know I've found a bitterness many people can relate to. Of course, my phone buzzes for … Continue reading Bitter Buzz
Weekend Bitter Dump
There is so much bitterness hiding deep within me (my brain mostly), that my brain is running out of storage space. I'm not sure how many gigs mine holds in comparison to other people, but I'm sure it is way less. Because of this, I might need to see about getting a brain upgrade soon, … Continue reading Weekend Bitter Dump
Finishing Weak Friday Giftures
You know how They say, "It's not about how you start, it's how you finish." Well, I'm not sure who They is, but if that is the case, I'm in big trouble. I am a classic strong starter. I'm constantly coming up with ideas, consistently bad ideas, and getting super excited about how I will … Continue reading Finishing Weak Friday Giftures
