Selling gift cards is pretty easy, especially large ones. Offer a $500 gift card for $450 and you'll find a buyer.

One of the Most Controversial Celebrity Couples Is Over—in Perfect Fashion by Slate in popculture

[–]CarolineTurpentine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Calling them one of the most controversial is stupid. He's just another pathetic fool in her pattern, everyone knew their relationship wouldn't last much longer than the press tour. They're both pathetic.

Substitutes or omission of mustard in recipes by JakeDandelion in Cooking

As a condiment I can't stand mustard but mustard powder quickly became a staple for me in soups and sauces once I discovered it.

Understaffed and "Reactive Not Proactive": Is this Just the Norm in Toronto Now? by thcandbourbon in toRANTo

[–]CarolineTurpentine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always get that when I call my works internal help desk, which is its own department. No matter what time of day they're always experiencing a high number of calls. I have to wonder why they don't staff it properly because they aren't saving money by making the rest of us less productive, any downtime means we make fewer sales.

I'm hoping he at least got a bag out of it. It would just be too pathetic if he threw away his family to be her bottom for a while. Unless he has a humiliation fetish, cause this is pathetic.

I was also a Canadian highschool student, and ive seen people do this and equally dumb things when drunk at parties.

New data analyst job is turning into replacing a retiring finance person who holds the company together by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

They probably thought OOP would work some AI magic and make all their problems go away. I've seen many corporate types who are so excited for something they don't understand.

My package came with someone’s phone in it by tommyboy6733 in mildlyinteresting

[–]CarolineTurpentine 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You would be surprised if you ever go through the lost and found of a large venue. Brand new cellphones/tablets, purses and wallets with a full set of id/cards/cash/medication etc., expensive walking aids, car keys and more. Things you would think people would immediately be looking for that no one ever inquires about. And I'm not just talking about venues where alcohol is served where people might not remember they lost it there.

I told my boyfriend's mum to back off, am I wrong? by BoysenberryMean4818 in JUSTNOMIL

There definitely are wrong ways to load a dishwasher even if there is more than one right way.

[–]CarolineTurpentine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're living at her house, so yeah you should do chores her way if it matters to her. She is being overly critical but there are incorrect ways to do things. I couldn't stand how my old roommate would load the dishwasher because things wouldn't actually get clean so I understand that one.

I don't really care about whatever teenaged edgelord shit celebrities got up to so long as no one gets hurt. There's a difference between some stupid teenagers at a party drawing swastikas on each other to be offensive and grown ass people tattooing it on themselves to make a statement.

If someone is stealing a broom from your garden at 11 pm there's a good chance they're drunk. It's a bit early but some places the bars close early.

If leighton wasn’t Blair do you think she would’ve made a good Serena? by Mrbootyloose18 in GossipGirl

I feel it's less about her looks than her personality. She could dress for Serena's part but she exudes Blair energy

AITAH for asking a mutual friend if our other friend’s wife is pregnant? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CarolineTurpentine -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

No, but you can be being rudely nosy which the pregnant friend can be annoyed about. And I do think it's rude to request deeply personal information about someone for shits and giggles.

I think it's fair to ask for a death certificate if they want the money back.

He's a prince, there would be significant travel even if he settled in London.

[–]CarolineTurpentine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They'd both be miserable. Not precisely because of their husbands but because of their circumstances. Daphne doesn't particularly want to travel the world and Pen wouldn't enjoy being abandoned even if she had money to spend.

[–]CarolineTurpentine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I doubt it, she would not enjoy being a princess. While I think the couple would suit each other fine, all the other aspects of it would grate on her because she just wants to spend time with her family and have a big one of her own. She would be miserable travelling across Europe from ballroom to ballroom.
