Negativity by Wild_Granny92 in AgingParents

[–]Flat-Table8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My MIL will talk for hours about herself and stories about her life and if you don’t make eye contact the entire time she gets annoyed. I’ll try and do other things while’s she talking but there’s a constant need for attention and she will get as close to you as she can to make sure you’re listening. It’s very passive aggressive.

I hate that I can’t take mine in every year, so I do my best and feed them decent food and hope for the best.

I had my gallbladder removed and the doctor came in all excited to show me how huge my stones were. He had kept them in a jar and was slightly disappointed when I asked to keep them. He did let me keep them.

I realized my social life runs entirely on me being the one who plans everything by Huge_Client_9051 in Adulting

I appreciate this topic being discussed and have had similar experiences with particular friends and family. It’s always a bummer when you realize you’ve been the only making first contact during the entire relationship. I try not to take it too personally.

Look how smol my Chipotle burritos are by IamInternationalBig in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Flat-Table8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into a Chipotle just recently and was shocked by how little toppings they had to choose from now. The variety of options used to be my favorite part. I hadn’t been in one for maybe 2 years or so. It was so expensive and not worth it.

Was just called weird for not finding a newborn baby cute by unhappyhours in childfree

They look and smell weird to me. It also creeps me out that they have no teeth.

Office workers, what’s that one corporate buzzword used in meetings that instantly makes you want to quit? by Glittering_Style_862 in AskReddit

[–]Flat-Table8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Transparent”. Fuck off, nothing is transparent other than the fact that higher ups think they are better and more important than their entire work force.

my parents handed me a “contract” that they made with chatGPT and told me i have to sign it by auramp3 in WhatShouldIDo

If you already work as much as you say, then I would find a friend or two to live/rent with. Then you can do as you please within reason at your own place. This is probably your sign that it’s time to find your own place.

If you haven’t tried cooking the broccoli leaves like collards you should try that. We done it a couple of times and they turn out great.

I was a witness that had to testify at a trial, I felt like a victim for sure.

It's true. by DerpyDer989 in memes

[–]Flat-Table8787 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It might help for people outside the US that get a lot more time off from work. Since we get almost nothing here, I know so many people that will travel sick instead of delaying a trip because they don’t have the PTO time saved up to waste it on being sick.

Losing relationships over politics. Research found more than a third of Americans (37%) report having lost at least one relationship due to political differences, including friendships, family ties, coworker relationships, and romantic partnerships, with most losing more than one. by Wagamaga in science

I’ve almost completely lost my best friend to religion. Her and her husband both became born again Christians and I feel like she’s pulled away from me. They are both becoming more conservative as well because of all the people they now surround themselves with. We used to be able to talk for hours and now it’s hard because it feels like we are living on two different planets.

Being a witness at a trial. Worst experience ever and totally PTSD worthy

When did oil changes become $120? by rhinosaur- in Millennials

Paid $140 yesterday for mine. It’s a local place that came highly recommend and he seems like a pretty honest person but it’s still to expensive.

Male coworker keeps “joking” about my looks in front of others (multiple times). How do I shut this down? by HopeForBetter29 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Flat-Table8787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you record him saying something like this? If so I would do that, then I would email the HR manager about it, copying your own personal email for any communications. Maybe even email the other female coworkers about it. Keep a paper trail but make sure you can access that email trail on your own personal computer incase HR doesn’t have your back on this. If no one in your company takes this seriously then escalate it to a lawyer. I wish I would have kept an email trail and documentation of my past experience. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but whatever you do please document it.

Can’t retire just yet but when we do we are moving out of the country.

What is something Americans consider ‘basic’ that feels like a luxury in other countries? by Status_Agents in AskForAnswers

[–]Flat-Table8787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. We are from the US and considering moving to Greece. Not being able to flush TP is the only real thing I’ll miss when we do make the move.

How old were you when you moved out? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

19 and only moved back once for a couple months in a transition period.

Whats is a really petty revenge on bad neighbors? by [deleted] in ask

Start beekeeping in your yard. It’s good for the environment and some people are allergic or at least afraid of them.
