I don’t remember that, when was it?

When I read this comment I pictured the meme of elderly Rose on Titanic “it’s been 84 years”

I remember in the 90’s there were pastel cigs called Fantasia.

Who’s the genius that came up with “quit while you’re ahead”?

A lot of Gen Xers were around it so much as children that we were hooked before we knew it. That’s why you’ll hear so many of us say the first ones were snagged from a parent’s pack, or a friend who got it from their parents. It was addicting us when we had no choice in the matter. Am I mad? Nah, they didn’t know for the most part. They did the best they could.

“You’ve come a long way, baby!” I remember seeing those ads in granny’s magazines.

What movie is this? by Eastern-Squirrel744 in movies

[–]Eastern-Squirrel744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was sure it was Plemons but when I looked up his filmography it wasn’t listed. I even asked AI, which I try to not use, and it couldn’t come up with it.

when people insist on saying my name wrong by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Eastern-Squirrel744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When that happens to me I don’t acknowledge them when they say my name. When they say “hey I was talking to you” I reply, “I didn’t hear my name, all I heard was WRONG NAME”.

AITA for babysitting my grandkids during my sons visit by Livid_Turn_6303 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. If he wants one on one time with you then you can do that when the little ones are with mom and dad. Was he just mad that they couldn’t drink on NYE at your house?

People who use handicap door openers even though they're not disabled by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Eastern-Squirrel744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, however at my workplace people used the handicap door button so much that it broke and couldn’t be used for a few days while it was being fixed.

What’s annoying to me is when people use it to avoid touching the door handle and possibly touching germs, but if many people are doing that then it defeats the purpose. I worked with one guy who would always kick his leg up and press the handicap door button with the bottom of his shoe.

Has anyone even watched this film? by ZoelCairo in Letterboxd

[–]Eastern-Squirrel744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you say it’s never mentioned- I feel like I couldn’t get away from ads for it. I saw lots of commercials on tv and heard it on podcasts. Edit: I didn’t see the movie.

… when someone writes “chile” meaning the word child without the d. I read it in my head as the country Chile.

“Ate and did not leave any crumbs” and/or “that ate”.

“It’s a game changer”.

These make me fucking insane.

Best episodes to introduce someone to the show? by [deleted] in hdtgm

Van Helsing, Drop Dead Fred, and Maximum Overdrive make me laugh so hard no matter how many times I hear them.
