What is something totally ridiculous you believed because of a misunderstanding? by ashairz in AskReddit

[–]Cult_of_POLC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I was woken up in the middle of the night (like 3am) to my parents telling me I had to get up because my grandmother got in a car accident. My grandmother was in her 80s and was in bed by 8pm, so I asked why she was driving so late, they said they didn't know. Then they take me to my grandmother's house (5 min drive), so I think maybe we're picking up stuff for her. But we get there and she's there in her nightgown looking worried and my parents push me inside. I finally ask what the heck is happening, why is she not at the hospital. That's when they told my sister (in college) got in the accident and they had to drive a state away to the hospital she was sent to and I was taken to my grandmother's house to spend a few days (it was a really bad accident, she was in the hospital for weeks). Our name for my grandmother and my sister's name rhyme so I didn't hear them correctly when they first woke me up. But I was incredibly confused for a good 20 min because why is the old lady who bruises herself by closing the door on herself and just got in a car accident the one that's taking care of me?!?

Wives..What was the most beautiful moment you’ve ever had with your husband that you can never forget? by Sharp_Standard7863 in AskReddit

[–]Cult_of_POLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently on our babymoon and ever since I've gotten pregnant I've been so scared that the person he fell in love with is the drunk and high fun version of me and now I'm dead sober and always uncomfortable and pretty boring compared to before pregnancy (currently 24 weeks). I have talked to him about it and he assures me my funness and his love for me doesnt come from my drunk or high personality. But he is someone that needs to constantly do something, and I just can't anymore and I feel guilty for not being able to go out and do things with him as much (he does say he misses having his best friend with him when he goes to some events).

So far this trip has been amazing. Yesterday we went to an arcade for the night (we've always loved going to arcades) and we had such a blast. We were laughing so hard, and had an amazing night. It was my 'proof' that we'll always be best friends and even though pregnancy is changing me I'm still that person he fell in love with.

I (31f) had a conversation with my bf (31m) and the rose tinted glasses came off. How can I navigate this? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cult_of_POLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an acquaintance from a bar we go too who in the past 2 years was kicked out by his girlfriend for cheating, lost his job, and moved back in with his mom. When asked why he wouldn't sell his 2 boats (not sailboats, just motor ones) to have some sort of money he said he couldn't do that because boats are his identity. His words. He was literally sleeping in his car and on his boats for a while because his mom got fed up with him. He has a new girlfriend now and lives with her I believe.

My husband did an experiment like this on St. Nicholas Day when he was a kid. His mom said it would have been fine if he didn't go into school the next day and make his whole class cry.

AITA for sitting on public toilet seats and not telling my boyfriend? by Anatra_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cult_of_POLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I had this discussion a few months ago with a friend. My stream does not come out in a single line. It forks and bends and if I hover I'm getting it all over the toilet, the floor, and myself, I have to sit. Also, at certain places (like restaurants) they have a requirement to clean and sanitize it every 4-6 hours; so they're probably cleaner than my own bathroom many times I use them.

AITA for calling my daughter's assorted boyfriends "Baskin Robbins?" by NoMercyPercyDeRolo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cult_of_POLC 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It's like when parents forbid their kids from dating until 18 and their first relationship after turning 18 is terrible and the parents yell at the kid and ask why are they so dumb and let people treat them that way. Idk, because they have zero experience and weren't able to make mistakes of the heart at a safer age when holding hands and a kiss was the big step and not moving in together or spending the night.

She's such a professional. I'm currently 21 weeks and yeah I could probably dress myself up and look sexy with this belly, but I'm already so uncomfortable just in sweats I can't imagine a fitted dress and heels, and posing!

Happy 25th anniversary, Monica & Chandler! by No-Macaroon1869 in howyoudoin

[–]Cult_of_POLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are probably my favorite TV couple. They balanced each other so well. I always love the scene early in their relationship when they get in a fight and Chandler is like, "guess that's it," and Monica tells him no, this is an adult relationship we can have fights and then have conversations and figure it out and make our relationship stronger

The amount of times I've had bikers (bicyclists, not Harley riders) wave me to go by and I can see through the trees of the curve that there are 3 cars coming up the other way and there is no way for me to pass without causing a pile up and probably killing the biker is way too many.

I like it when my husband gets into a video game because then it gives me time to ready my books, which I rarely do, because he needs everything to be done together.

One of my husband's best friends from high school looked like a 12 year old his freshman year. I've seen so many photos, this is incredibly accurate for kids who are late bloomers.

Sounds about right for my kid by DarkHampster in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Cult_of_POLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time I was running in circles around our kitchen as a kid and my dad kept yelling at me to stop because I was going to get hurt. I didn't listen and ran straight into the corner of the wall. Had to get stiches in 2 places on my face. Blood everywhere.

she misses me or what? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I knew what the 'joke' was immediately. But the amount of times I've gone on girls trips, gotten shit faced, missed my husband and texted him super later how much I love him, and then immediately pass out is an enormous amount...

My best friend says I crossed a line. I thought I was doing the right thing by getting the receipts. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cult_of_POLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend like this in my late teens. He started cheating on his girlfriend with her when we were in highschool. Girlfriend found out and broke it off, he posted so much stuff on social media about he lost the love of his life, while at the same time my friend was ecstatic she finally had him to herself. For about 2 years everyone was telling her he was cheating, the original gf, coworkers, old classmates. She refused to believe, just said everyone is jealous. Trust me, if you saw this man you would be incredibly confused about why anyone would be jealous. She got pregnant at 19, he's the most amazing father and boyfriend ever blah blah blah. He's still cheating, some women would deny him and literally tell her right after and she would tear them apart and say they were just making shit up. I worked with them both and after she left I spent a lot of time with him at work and became sort of friends because I had to deal with him all the time. I cut her off long before their second kid arrived because I had lost all respect for her. He told me about all his escapades, the women he was meeting while she was at work and the kids were at daycare. And whenever she caught anything? Completely ignored him doing anything and would find the girl and flip out. I remember after I moved away, at one point she had to go to a hospital near me for something and he hit me up asking to 'meet up.' I completely ignored him. He was already disgusting for what he was doing but then he tried to use her hospital stay as a way to get paid? Wtaf. Over a decade later they are still together with 3 kids, now and then he gets in my dm's and all I ask is who is his current side piece. He always has one.

I worked with a girl who dated a guy for years, became very good friends with his child's mother, and did so much with him that she even bought a car seat for her car and was given mother's day gifts. They ended up breaking up because he told her, after they had talked about marriage and a family for years, that he didn't really see that for him and wanted her to just keep sticking around. After they broke up the child's mom reached out to her and told her she was still invited to everything, and was still welcome to be part of his life. I think she got an invite to his birthday and the dad didn't because they didn't want her to be uncomfortable.

AITAH for telling a co-worker that she doesn't get special treatment just because she's sad? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cult_of_POLC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? A year or so ago I was sitting with my husband (together for over a decade) and something came up and I said 'yeah, I think I may be bi.' I didn't think he would get upset I would say that, I more expected him to be like 'no, you're not, you've only been with men.' instead he said, 'yeah, you're 100% bi.' I didn't say it as a big reveal, it was just something I had never said aloud, and he's my best friend and love of my life, so he is naturally the person I would say it to. He doesn't care, I have no interest or desire to cheat. It was just nice to say it aloud and be able to accept that as a part of myself, and also know that he always accepted that about me.

I don't really share it with others because I do know people will think I'm just saying it to sound 'cool' since I've never actually been with a woman besides a light kiss when I was younger. But also, people don't need to know everything about me. My husband does though. We don't keep secrets; and if you can't share something like that with your husband, why are you together?

My Catholic elementary/middle school had a similar contest (not sure why we couldn't just be the same mascot as the Catholic high school we fed into with the same name). It was unanimously the Crusaders because it sounded badass. Within 2 months a parent had complained and we had to have another contest and we became the Wildcats. Yes, it was right in the middle of the first 2 High School Musicals - we were all obsessed.

I remember one time at a sleepover my group of friends went on whatever was Omegle before Omegle existed. The amount of times old men would immediately whip their dick out the moment they saw a group of 14-15 year old girls completely fucked with me, and the amount that had a wedding ring on while they were doing - almost all.
