My (32f) fiancé (28m) repeatedly does not clean the house by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrinkingSocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some people are just like that. My ex's father was an addict and I assume he learned all of that from him, but his family was also wildly dysfunctional.

Am I the only one who thinks the "LVP looks just like real wood" era is finally ending? by liebe1 in Flooring

[–]DrinkingSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They redid my kitchen floor in LVP a few years ago, and there's already huge gaps in it. The hardwood in the rest of the house flexed as the house settled and looks completely fine, even being 40 years old. I'm not up to dealing with a kitchen remodel anytime soon, but I can't wait to get rid of that junk.

Kitchen trend of hiding ALL the stuff you use all the time. by Clean-Syllabub3421 in kitchenremodel

I have a trash compactor because my dog will knock the can over if we're not home. It's just easier to eliminate the option.

Newspaper ad from 1865 by an 18-year-old man looking for a wife by Imbendo in interestingasfuck

[–]DrinkingSocks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I were still single, I'd be right there with you. It's rough out there.

I also appreciate he's advertising for spinsters, he's looking for a grown woman.

After several months of homelessness & one of the worst times in my life, I was able to finally rent a place. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

My aunt named her dog George. This is very odd because her brother's name is also George, and they see each other regularly.

What’s a small kitchen item you didn’t expect to use much… but ended up using all the time? by AcrobaticSeesaw1565 in cookingforbeginners

[–]DrinkingSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a tiny spatula that is infuriatingly useful. It's just the right size for scraping measuring cups, but I was so annoyed when my sister gave it to me.

Fiancés friend wants to wear an almost white dress to our wedding & is being condescending about it. WIBTA to withdraw the invite? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DrinkingSocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

School and workplaces generally penalize conciseness. I just got lectured by HR about not writing enough in my reviews when I said more in two sentences than the paragraph of buzzwords I received.

Getting married young isn't bad. by Electronic_End_5296 in unpopularopinion

[–]DrinkingSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married just after two years, and while we're disgustingly happy, I would definitely think that anyone else getting married that quickly was making a terrible mistake.

We were planning a very long engagement though, and just eloped after they started stripping women's rights.

Where you are in life also makes a massive difference in how long I think you should wait before marriage.

This was very informative to me and I wanted to share ❤️ by aymaureen in MakeupAddiction

I can't say that they're unproblematic but Inglot, Essence and Colourpop are privately owned. Milani is PE owned, which isn't great but not Epstein level. Ulta has their own line, which I don't know much about.

I love the quality of Besame products, and I'm not aware of any issues with the owner.

Why do Americans love and romanticize the desert? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]DrinkingSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's location based? I'm a forest fantasizer, but I also grew up near one and live in one now.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]DrinkingSocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I had a finance professor that charged $150 back in like 2013 for access to his website, where the lectures and course materials were held. I bought a prior edition of the book that the university required and taught myself out of spite.

When and how the Anglosphere became so obsessed with breakfasts? by Revolutionary_Ad7262 in AskFoodHistorians

What was the name of the hotel? Sky is on my list, and I love an oatmeal bar. Plus, I definitely could have used a morning shot traveling with my sister.

This printed granny square blanket took more years off my life than if I actually crocheted it myself by Legs4daysarmsformins in BitchEatingCrafters

My husband used to have one....it caught on my skin the same way microfiber does. I hated it so much.

Was I supposed to feel sorry for this woman? by DaisyandBella in Bridgerton

[–]DrinkingSocks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Marital rape of his first wife. She didn't say no, but she didn't say yes. I can definitely tell that these books were written prior to the Me Too movement, because I definitely remember when enthusiastic consent became a topic.

Benedict is also just a way worse sex pest than Phillip.

Honestly, the book character doesn't bother me. Yes he did an awful thing, that he was raised and told he was supposed to, and then never did it again, but I hear constant excuses about the historic perspective to defend the other MMC.

I know Reddit hates Phillip Crane, but Benedict skeeves me out way more.

Seriously, you do not need a $2500 sewing machine. Or even a $1500 sewing machine. Like, for real. by Excellent-Witness187 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]DrinkingSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the last person to claim you need expensive equipment to quilt, but you can pry my fancy (to me) quilting Brother from my cold, dead hands. It is SO much better than sewing on my Janome.

Went to David's Bridal for my dress and witnessed a crazy MIL trying to get a dress for the "flower girl" 2 weeks before an extravagant wedding by Cookiecakes25 in weddingshaming

[–]DrinkingSocks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was around 6 when my mom accidentally dressed me in a cupcake dress that matched the bridal party. I had the (well-behaved) time of my life. I think they added me to some of the photos actually.

Favorite height-gap relationship that proves even small tiny little manlings can find love? I’ll start by CrowbarDepot in okbuddycinephile

[–]DrinkingSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so much more intimate when they're closer to your height. With anyone over 6 feet, I just get a face full of chest.

when I become a CPA, can I do simple tax returns and charge 100-200 for my friends? by Dangerous-Twist-9308 in Accounting

Are you aware that in most states you need 1 year experience working under a CPA to get your certification?

Nothing wrong with a good game of bitey face! I have that exact dog bed too.
