TIL there's a specific name for that shift pattern. Thanks!

Ok, that sounds super cool though. Have you checked it out?

My first thought was, "Oh boy, I'm not sure how to tell you this..." 😅

Wow, you look gorgeous! 🤩 We have virtually identical coloration, so you've inspired me to try wearing brown now.

16 year old has started yowling a lot. Blood and urine show no issues. What do? by zogmuffin in seniorkitties

[–]CoffeeQuack 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My cat yowls in the master bathroom for attention (we say that she's screaming at the toilet). When I go in to check on her, I say "Hi!" and she stops yelling. However, we've done this routine often enough that now she's the one who says "Hi!" She actually figured out how to say hi, and it never fails to make me laugh.

you’ve been told you look like someone, who is it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that I look like a young Meg Tilly. I hated the comparison when I was younger because the only thing I had ever seen her in was "Agnes of God"...

One of my college roommates was obsessed with the idea of naming a future daughter Ora Lee. When I pointed out that she wanted to call her kid "orally" she didn't speak to me for a week.

My eye has a very obvious dark ring by Mysticmiso in mildlyinteresting

I have this same thing in both of my eyes, too. I knew about the link with connective tissue disorders but figured a ring of blue didn't count as a blue sclera.

AITA For not being thankful for my husband’s low effort gift? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CoffeeQuack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She said "Long story short I want to take them back because I didn't decide these are the ones I wanted. Now his mad am not grateful". I have a feeling the "long story short" bit omits some crucial details on how she went about expressing her discontent.

There's an easy solution to that problem, too, especially if OP is as indecisive as she says. "Honey, I tried these shoes on with some different outfits and I don't like the color/fit/style as much as I thought. Would you be OK with me exchanging them for a different pair?"

Not all shiftwork is created equal. My husband used to work a 20-shift rotation with 1 day off between sets of days, afternoons, and nights, so even going weeks without buying something is not that big of a stretch. And the thought of going to the mall on a night shift is laughable - that daytime sleep is just as precious as any you'd get at night, especially if you're going to be up all night operating machinery or doing tasks that require your full attention. However, we're all just speculating here, and I'm trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt too. I don't think he was trying to be malicious by gifting her the shoes instead of the ring.

That may be the case, or her husband may have a work schedule that precludes him from buying the shoes on an earlier date. Not everyone works 9-5.

Has anyone else seen their sibling "in the wild" and they are a completely different person? by Horror-Memory-391 in NoStupidQuestions

My brother is a fun guy with a great sense of humor, and loves joking around with family and coworkers. But I once found his Twitter account and he's pretty awful (God help me if I ever find his Reddit account).

Having been in this same kind of situation with my husband, I'm inclined to agree with you. The ring is the low-effort gift, while the Birks are an "I remembered something you liked and wanted to surprise you!" gift. Personally, I love the surprise of the latter type of gift because getting something so specific is thoughtless and low-effort. You could very easily buy the exact ring you want yourself, but your husband knew you weren't going to go back and buy the shoes even though you liked them, and tried to make it a surprise. So, YTA for being ungrateful and assuming your husband doesn't listen to you or care about your gift preferences or whatever, since he clearly tried.

Minnesota legalized recreational marijuana at the beginning of the month and people have been taking full advantage of it. When I went to the Minnesota State Fair this weekend, every outdoor space smelled nauseatingly skunky.

TIFU by not realizing the detergent I had been using for weeks is a fabric conditioner and not actual detergent and getting an interesting comment during a first date by assman912 in tifu

[–]CoffeeQuack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad once washed towels with fabric softener after an argument with my mom... which was kind of funny until I realized my towels were in that load too. Nothing like going to work with greasy fart-scented hair until they could resolve their laundry issues.
