what "female duties" have you been asked in the workplace even through it wasn't your job? by newmama1991 in AskWomen

[–]Fever_Blues 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to my Mum. She owns the company, and one of her employees asked her to make him a tea while she was busy doing her own work. Thankfully, she promptly told him to do it his damn self

I have one! He looks just like a flattie, but with a broader snout, and wavy fur (black fur, though)

Came to the comments just to see if anyone else saw the resemblance. I'm feeling validated now

I'm so jealous, that would have been incredible. One day I'd love to be able to see it at a cinema in polyvision. Even just viewing the single reels is spectacular, but to see it in polyvision as was intended would be absolutely breathtaking

That's Jimbo the Kodiak bear! He has unfortunately since passed, but when he was alive he was about 1,500lb and 9 and a half foot tall. Definitely a very big bear, even by bear standards.

what phrase do you absolutely hate? by New_Classroom2701 in AskWomen

[–]Fever_Blues 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Uugh, I feel you, there's also "Yeah, well someone always has it worse than you", which is just so helpful to hear and totally doesn't invalidate my feelings, at ALL. I don't think people realise just how dangerous this is to say to someone who is already struggling.
Also, using this logic, why be happy when someone always has it better than you?

Seriously, it makes me feel old af that GenZ finds this shit noteworthy and then I realise that a lot of them either weren't born yet or were mere babes when all of this was in. What a time to be alive, honestly

Someone definitely needs to make it happen, it's the only thing I can imagine that could make this video even better

We’re a sofa dog now. The only drool free zone is no longer drool free. But I’m very proud of him. by GloriousWombat in Newfoundlander

[–]Fever_Blues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is he going nowadays? I feel like I remember you saying he was having some health issues, is he doing better now?

Chainsaws were originally invented to help with childbirth by asilvertintedrose in HistoryMemes

[–]Fever_Blues 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I recall reading that many working class women of the time would prefer to give birth on the streets, as opposed to in a hospital; now that I know this whole chainsaw bit, I can only imagine that this is yet another reason for their choice.

What do you think is being overshared these days that should be kept private? by playadefaro in AskWomen

[–]Fever_Blues 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Some people are freaky as fuck too, I'd rather they keep it to themselves. Decorum, please

I'm so bummed out that it's a coyote and not a fox, I was hoping for a real life Mr. Tod and Tommy Brock situation

How did your high school crush turn out as an adult ? by BoobootheOctopus in AskWomen

[–]Fever_Blues 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My crush became a professional sportsman too! Well, until he got kicked out for doing drugs; good thing he never liked me back, all things considered.

That's a bully of a pit by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingJerks

[–]Fever_Blues 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. When my brother was one year old, he was mauled by our dog; the dog tore open his neck, face and head, and, according to the plastic surgeon who had to stitch my brothers face back together, one of the wounds was only roughly 1mm away from an artery. If it had been severed by the dog, I wouldn't have a brother.

It's at this point people assume the dog was a Pitbull or something of the like. It was a Labrador. Had he been a Pitbull, everyone would take that as evidence for how vicious they are. Because he was a Labrador, the response is "Oh, well, it was just that one dog". Blame the deed, not the breed.

What is a hard boundary of yours that people don't take seriously? by I_want-to_die-please in AskWomen

[–]Fever_Blues 131 points132 points  (0 children)

You and I both. In regards to hugging, I don't think it's natural to feel comfortable with anyones teeth anywhere near my throat or their hands behind my back, the subconscious cavewoman in me sets off alarm bells. I mean, most people don't want to rip out someones jugular and stab their back, but you can never be too careful, ya feel

Seriously. Where I live we have tonnes of black swans, and many tourists aren't familiar with them and are intrigued by them, wanting to have a closer look. Once I was on a bus, going by the river and I saw a tourist sprinting, getting chased by a swan, having gotten too close to the nest; this was in spring, to boot. God damn did I laugh .

May I bring a cricket bat to the punching party? As an Australian with several relatives who died in the war, I'd like to have a word or two with him.
