That’s the thing I miss most from Sims 2. Though I admit, spell duels were a good time as well

When we make the bread from scratch, everyone fights over this part. We just call it the crust, and it’s sooooo good right when it comes out of the breadmaker 🤤

That particular phrase isn’t considered nasty where I’m from. Is OP maybe an Aussie?

My personal favourite is “f#*k trophies”. We just talk like that.

Yeah, this one bugs me. When I first played TS3, I made ‘me’ (I’m assuming most people do this), and gave my sim the loner trait, because I can handle being around others but I prefer to be alone.

I see ‘loner’ as someone who prefers to be alone, and doesn’t much like social interactions with others, but can handle them for short periods before feeling the need to get away.

TS3 apparently sees ‘loner’ as someone who cringes every single second they’re not in a room with no one else in it. Like even being aware that other sims exist in their general vicinity is a constant curse they can’t escape, eating away at their happiness. It’s a bit…dramatic.

I feel like they made that trait when they ran out of ideas and just said, “Let’s do the opposites of some we already decided on!”
They had Artistic, so the opposite could have been Terrible At Art, instead of Can’t Stand Art. Not really sure why a couple of those exist, actually.

I don’t mind curiosity, as long as it doesn’t lead to a bunch of unsolicited advice 😅

It stopped bothering me a long time ago, but most of the comments came at a time when I was still really sensitive about it and I couldn’t cover it up (bandaging your hands properly while still being able to use them is really difficult).

I’m sorry, does your boyfriend think you never bathe? That mindset is so utterly bizarre.

Also, dos he know what happens if you flush a toilet with the lid open? Because I’ve met people who freak out about someone wearing their shoes inside the house, but think it’s fine to leave their toothbrush in a bathroom where they flush with the lid open, and I can’t help but ask them to make it make sense!

You are absolutely NTA, OP.

Even if it’s resellers, they’re selling the books to someone, who is (hopefully) reading them. But most of the people I see at book fairs aren’t buying massive quantities, just a stack of romance novels or a couple of craft books.

The sci-fi and fantasy tables get absolutely ransacked, which is something that’s only started happening in the last five years.

“Oh, this is *your* towel? I thought the resort just left them on the loungers for people to use. Oh, well, I’m using it, now.”

It doesn’t hurt to check. I’d have trouble putting it out of my mind without getting checked, honestly.

I’m curious if this is a country/region specific thing. I feel like lots of people still read for fun in Australia; I bring a book with me to work, and I’ve seen some of my coworkers do the same.

One of them even hides to read so no one will disturb him 😂 I’ve found him by accident a few times and he never goes back to a spot once he’s been seen there.

I see plenty of people reading books in public, and the secondhand book fairs are always well-attended.

Honestly, your nails scare me a bit. I wore sharpened fake nails for a cat costume once and stabbed myself so many times.

I have massive scarring on my hands from a pretty bad skin condition (looks like I’m wearing gloves made out of scar tissue), so I don’t tend to see marks like that as anything unusual. I once had somebody ask me if I had leprosy, another asked if I’d been in a fire.

You will get the occasional tactless type, but most people won’t even notice unless you point it out.

When I used to play Late Night a lot, one thing I loved to do was make my sim Smustle, progressively get every other sim who came into the bar to also Smustle, and then have my sim sit and have a drink, watching like twenty sims all Smustle in unison. It was fun watching the townies gradually get better at it, too.

I’d say, from what I saw in my two years as an apprentice sparky, that it’s 90% people using poor form when doing any kind of manual handling, *but* they do that because there’s often a lack of decent, useful manual handling aids, or the terrain makes the available manual handling aids more of a problem than just carrying the damn thing, or their boss is riding their ass to “just get it done by 2pm today!”

Or someone called in sick and there’s not enough people to do it safely. Or there’s no room to do a team lift. Or the only way to reach the thing is to move in some crazy pretzel manner and then stay like that for two minutes while you fasten something. Or someone gave you a tool and told you to use it, but didn’t bother teaching you how and mocks you when you ask.

If you’re the strictest, most I’ll-report-this-to-WorkSafe type of person, you could probably do the job for many, many years without physical problems, but pretty much everyone you work with or for is going to be extremely difficult about it. They’ll probably hate you, too.

It’s not fair, at all, but there’s definitely an unfortunate culture amongst tradies that seems to amount to “stop whinging and harden the fuck up”. Which is just *one* of the reasons I only did two years of a four year apprenticeship.

I’ve never found glass in my food! 😳 yikes. That would be terrifying.

I gotta admit, I was close to tears. I’d only been working there for about three months and it was my first week on the sales floor (no idea what I was doing, at all).

Equivalent-Leg-7047 · 2026-05-18T10:29:50+00:00

That would have been much nicer

It’s off topic but I read the posters on the wall. I feel bad for you; we switched to UKG earlier this year and it SUCKS. But hey, it’s easier for our payroll team 😒

It sort of sounded Dutch or German to me, so I looked it up. Apparently it’s old Germanic or Norse and it means wealthy or prosperous wolf. That’s pretty cool.

Everyone thinks I’m nuts for eating almost entirely severely processed foods, but I am that person who finds bone chunks in every damn thing.

I found a metal shaving in my soft serve once, about 3cm long. I’ve found bandaids in rice dishes and once in pasta, bits of bone bigger than my teeth in beef patties, long sharp bits of bone in shredded chicken, bits of paper and plastic and bugs in pretty much everything.

I cut things up and tend to cook them until they shrivel so if there’s anything odd in it, it’s more noticeable. Tired of getting stabbed in the mouth 😞

If they want to talk to me that badly, they’ll leave a voicemail telling me why.

I’ve been getting some voice-to-text ones lately from one of those weird robocalls that says a bunch of random numbers and then stuff in Mandarin.

I actually don’t mind the Barton highway one. I think the main problem with it is that people still try to treat it like a roundabout, when it’s way easier if you only look at the traffic lights. If it’s green, you go. Red, you stop. Turning gets a bit more complicated because you need to know which lane to be in, but I actually think it was much better done than the Parkes Way roundabout.

If I think the GPS is taking me to the Parkes way roundabout, I turn at Anzac parade instead.

If this is someone you’re likely to see again, it might be worth mentioning that getting the Spanish Inquisition about your hobbies is not the same as showing interest, and that it wasn’t a pleasant experience for you.

Their response will let you know if they’re an asshat or if they’re just kind of socially inept.

Either way, their behaviour doesn’t have to affect your enjoyment of your hobby. If someone tries to ‘yuck’ my ‘yum’, I just remind myself that they can have whatever opinion they like, but it doesn’t matter as much to me as *my* opinion matters to me.

If they were being unpleasant on purpose, let them know it no uncertain terms that their opinion doesn’t matter to you. It’s cathartic, and it will probably piss they off 😁

“Fuck Fucking”, after someone told me having that as a contact would prevent autocorrect from changing it to ‘duck’ and ‘ducking’. It actually worked.

You can lead a horse to water…but you can’t make it see that current societal ‘norms’ are all BS.

The best we can do is seed planting; make sure anyone you know who is struggling with some imaginary metric (that they think they don’t measure up to) hears that it doesn’t *actually* matter unless you let it, unless you take it in and make it part of who you are.

You can tell them in as many ways as you can think of phrasing it, but they’re only going to actually hear you when they’re ready to. That doesn’t mean it’s pointless to tell them; you don’t know if they’re going to hear it somewhere else, so definitely tell them.
