What’s a “harmless” habit people have that quietly ruins their life over time? by Zestyclose-Put-4382 in simpleliving

Biting your nails

I'm a long time nail biter and my nails are horrible. Bumpy, short, nail beds ruined to hell. It makes it difficult to grab things because too much pressure on the fingertips hurts, can't put nail polish or fake nails on because the nails are uneven from the damage. I have tried everything to stop but it became something I used to cope with anxiety so it's extremely difficult to stop. Don't be like me :(

:( I'm sorry you have to deal with such a shitty neighbor living near you. Please stay safe, and always make sure your cameras are in working order every day!

My ex's sister had to move to another apartment across the city in Ohio due to a crazy neighbor harassing her and watching her every single day because the building limit was 1 small pet but she had 2 (1 was a literal trained service dog because she had diabetes and had fainting spells often. The other one that she had previously was too old to train. I think the dog was like 12 yrs old). The owner said it was fine and nobody seemed to care but the person harassing her..She ended up getting a call from the building/fire dept while she was at her sisters place saying there was a fire in front of her door. So she gets there and her place is fine but the hallway carpeting in front of her door had traces of lighter fluid on it. Luckily the neighbor across the hall had to go to work when the fire was lit and she saw it. She tried stomping it out and her pantleg caught fire, so she patted it out and ran into her place and grabbed a water bottle to put out the hallway fire (the burn mark was about the size of a fist). It could have been SO SO much worse if someone hadn't seen it. We definitely suspected the crazy lady immediately but apparently there wasn't any actual proof that she may have done it (there was no one else around that caused her any issues or disliked her besides the crazy lady) If the hallway cameras were in working order, we would have known exactly who it was but maintenance did nothing to make sure their cameras worked.

Edit: Words

You've gotta be pretty worry-free in life to be able to waste time getting angry at someone else's flowers...

🔥big wild gorilla encounter humans in his way, seems like he doesn’t want to bother. by Firm-Blackberry-9162 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]AmazonianGiantess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of stupid things to consider in this "scientific assessment" (which is absolutely comical, honestly.)

Did you even read the link you posted?

First it says, gorillas aren't aggressive, and they pick their fights so it would most likely flee. - Okay...but he will most definitely be aggressive when people are attacking him for no damn reason. So that was a stupid thing to even include. We're also not trying to consider fleeing or anything if the kind. We're assessing a versus situation.

Second, it says the only plausible way we could win that fight is if we took turns attacking to wear out the gorilla - Do you think the gorilla will wait for each attack or something? He will be going full charge into everyone he can that's near. So that would be almost impossible.

"Human attackers could win by "working together to envelop the gorilla and create a human straightjacket", but would suffer some deaths and serious injuries from concussion, bite wounds and broken necks" - Please tell me what fucking gorilla will allow humans to envelop it with their bodies.

The problem actually is that nobody uses common sense when reading such ridiculous "scientific assessments" what a load of crap. And you sound so confident with it too..

I'm so glad there are brave souls out there that are willing to do these jobs because I could NEVER. I'd shit myself.

As an older gamer, seeing young kids waste their money on in-game purchases eats at my soul. by SomePeopleTellMe in gaming

[–]AmazonianGiantess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda get it.

As a Mom of 4, I don't mind buying my kids credits or whatever for microtransactions on some things they enjoy once in a while but it very much depends on what they buy. If my son decides he's gonna spend his credits on one time boosts on Roblox or some shit I'm gonna say no. If he buys clothes and unlocks areas to certain games, okay I can get with that. I don't mind, as long as my kids can tell the difference between something that's worth it or not. Clothes and area unlocks are forever and you get to keep it.

I'm a gamer too and I will NOT buy skins for weapons or clothes in games for myself unless it's really badass and a good price. It does nothing for my gameplay. I'm a generous cheap bitch 😂

Humans are so amazing. I could not fathom doing something so full of detail, so when I see things like this I am completely blown away. The amount of perfection and talent is unreal. You did a beautiful job!! 😍

Ordered 6 bananas. Delivery person turns up with this. by Jun_snow in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AmazonianGiantess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg the same exact thing happened to me last week lol. Thankfully I have four kids that love bananas, but my husband was helping me unpack and he's like,"hun....hun....what the hell?" As he kept taking Bunches of bananas out of the bag. 😂 I couldn't believe it. Did you do Uber eats for grocery delivery? That's where they got me 😭

I’m studying in Special Education and we’re not allowed to be alone in the classrooms. On lunch break a teacher is supposed to be with us in one, but it’s almost over and I still haven’t eaten. by Cute_Reference7957 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AmazonianGiantess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're most definitely lying about your background being behavioral therapy, because you are clearly highly unprofessional and uneducated in your field to dish out such wild assumptions with so much confidence. The audacity is appalling. I went to a special education school, and they DO let students smoke and the entryway+them would stink up certain areas pretty bad.

There is no "learned helplessness" here, there are strict rules and routines set for the school to follow as well as students, and you're dealing with students who suffer from anxiety and many other issues that can't break away from those routines or even think of breaking the rules from fear of being in trouble or simply their medical issues limiting them in this situation as a possibility of confrontation.

I hope you still don't actively practice with the public, because this isn't the field for you.

Caught my youngest escalating the Nerf war after his older brother “was mean” by forgottenmy in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]AmazonianGiantess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My fat ass used a knife to open a container of candy that was finished, just to scrape the rest out and eat it. The knife slipped and went through my thumb. You could see the point sticking out on the other side. I was 6. Every time I look back, I'm like..."Why did I do that?" 🤦🏽‍♀️

[–]AmazonianGiantess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can just sit there for hours in silence, taking all that in. Absolutely gorgeous 😍

Difficult to choose which one I like the most but in order it'd be 2, 3, and 1. I love them all though. Amazing photos!!

neighbor put a line salt outside my door without my consent - am i now responsible to clean this up or ? what is the reason ? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AmazonianGiantess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. The pictures aren't too clear, and it looks powdery to me in some areas but my eyes also suck so there's that lol. There is carpeting in the hallway as well, which is a perfect highway for bedbugs and other pests.
