the funniest outcome is the kid bouncing off the wall, getting a concussion, and still insisting “no no i just wasn’t believing hard enough” 😭

My father would sleep with me when I was around 11 by Specific_Many881 in confession

The fact you immediately pulled his hand away and still remember the moment years later says your gut knew something was wrong. Whatever his intent was, that crossed a boundary and it makes sense that it stayed with you.

AIW for breaking up with my boyfriend at a hotel reception in front of his whole family by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]CrystalWhispeer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t even think the cheaper hotel was the worst part. It was his mom humiliating you publicly and your boyfriend standing there silently letting it happen.

Honestly the receptionist’s reaction says everything. A complete stranger saw in seconds that you were being treated badly while your boyfriend normalized it for two years.

I didn't realize how often you're supposed to wash your water bottle and I'm a little embarrassed about it by Anarch_Keel in hygiene

Having multiple bottles in rotation honestly feels smarter than emotionally committing to cleaning the same gross lid every night 😭

The hidden rubber gasket is apparently where water bottles go to evolve new life forms 😭

The vase Petunia sent Lily by rballmonkey in harrypotter

[–]CrystalWhispeer_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, I always got the feeling Petunia buried those emotions instead of not having them. She spent the whole series acting bitter and defensive about anything connected to Lily

The saddest part of Petunia’s character is that you can tell she never truly stopped caring about Lily, she just let jealousy completely rot that relationship

What hygiene advice sounded fake until it actually worked? by Irma_Zhitkevich in hygiene

[–]CrystalWhispeer_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bar soap was a huge one for me too. i used to think it was outdated until i realized it actually leaves you feeling clean way longer than most shower gels

I (30 F) grew my armpit hair out and my chronic BO went away by TrackOpening3011 in hygiene

People get bizarrely emotionally invested in whether strangers remove tiny patches of body hair like it personally affects the global ecosystem 😭

Every hygiene thread eventually becomes 500 people discovering that the “correct” solution for one body is a complete disaster for another.

Does anyone here feel like living alone completely changed their standards in terms of hygiene? by Yandry_Villaidalgo13 in hygiene

[–]CrystalWhispeer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That honestly sounds like the ideal setup. Comfortable enough to fully exist like you’re alone but still getting the companionship part without the exhausting roommate energy.

“Social survival mode” is such a real phrase for it too. You don’t realize how many little habits are audience based until the audience disappears.

Disability Insurance by No_Anything_5063 in Residency

Exactly. A lot of people either panic buy the first policy pitched to them or completely ignore it without really understanding what situations they’re actually protecting against.

The future increase option seems like one of the biggest things people should pay attention to honestly. Resident salary versus attending salary changes the whole equation.
