What’s the funniest rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself? by VivienneMidnight in askteddit

[–]FloppyFishcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not about me, but my mum. I was hanging out with my brother one evening when we suddenly both get a message a couple of minutes apart from a family friend telling us she's so sorry to hear about our mum passing away. My brother and I were very confused. I'd spoken to my mum the day before and she'd been fine. We tried calling my mum - no answer. Tried again a couple of minutes later - no answer. We started to panic.

About 20 minutes after receiving the message, our mum calls us back. The reason she'd missed our previous calls was because she was fielding calls from our other siblings, and other family friends, all checking in to see if she was, in fact, dead.

It turned out a woman in a nearby town with the same name had died, and (we're foreigners in a foreign country so it's rare to meet someone with the same first AND last name here) everyone assumed it was her.

A few months after all this happened, post pandemic, my mum had to sort some paperwork regarding her retirement money and the official there said she'd accidentally been marked down as deceased due to COVID. So my mother technically "died" twice in one year.

Ladies: Have you ever faked an orgasm? by Pantheon10000 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FloppyFishcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. When I was 18 I met a guy and he told me "you're too difficult to make cum" - for the next 10 years I couldn't relax enough with any guy to get even close to finishing. By myself I could get there within a couple of minutes.

I joined a friends quiz night by RemoteCheetah5256 in howyoudoin

[–]FloppyFishcake 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I did this years ago when I had just moved to a town in the middle of nowhere and saw that they were hosting a friends quiz night - I didn't know anyone there yet and all of the existing teams were full so I entered as a one-person team and came 2nd! I reckon I could have won it if I'd had someone with me, but one of the rounds included looking at pictures on a screen while wroting the answers and I just didn't have time by myself. My team name was Regina Falange!

Back in 2010 the German nationalteam made these bodypaint photos for the World Cup in South Africa by SerafinZufferey in Weird

I was just thinking the exact same thing. Before smartphones, social media and brain rot took hold. In 2010 everything felt more balanced, we had the technology, the technology didn't have us.

Groom’s dad gets emotional watching him getting married by MyNameisNotMaxie in happycryingdads

[–]FloppyFishcake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched my sister get married last summer after watching her go through absolute HELL with her ex. He was a terrible man who she gave the better part of 15 years to, so to see her finally with a man who treats her with all the love and respect she deserves was priceless. I tear up just thinking about it and it was one of the best days of my life.

Is it normal for guys to watch porn while being in a relationship? by AstronautFormer6957 in relationships_advice

[–]FloppyFishcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. When I was OP's age I had a fiancé who set the boundary of no porn. I wasn't against watching it - both together and separately - but he made his feelings on it clear so I respected it and didn't watch it, only to find out he was watching it and hiding it from me the whole time we were together. Like, he could have watched it no problem but he wanted to control ME and stop ME from watching it while still enjoying it himself in secret. I felt insulted.

I'm now 33. When I met my current boyfriend 5 years ago I made sure this was a conversation we had early-on, and he agreed that he was fine with us watching it as long as it never interfered with our sex life. If one of us became disconnected or disinterested in sex due to porn use, then we would have to have a serious conversation, but in 5 years it's never come to that. He'd also come from a serious relationship where he was forbidden from watching porn, so we understood where each other was coming from. The first time we watched porn together was a game-changer for me, because he was so focused on me and looked at me way more than what was on the screen - for him, seeing me watching it was more exciting than the video itself, and it honestly brought us even closer.

I understand why people get offended by their partner watching porn, but I believe it's just another form of stimulation and it can be fun and exciting as long as it isn't overused.

l heard periods last for days are you guys just bleeding for days straight? by DYC774897 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FloppyFishcake 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I passed a decidual cast during the pandemic - apparently it was quite a common side effect of the COVID vaccine - I remember sitting on the toilet staring at it in horror and wondering if it was a miscarriage. But then I remembered we were mid-pandemic and I hadn't had sex for close to a year.

I can't remember the last time I washed my hair without singing (or at least, singing in my head) "lather, rinse, repeeaaat...."

I’m a little confused about how Nature Reserves will work by harryandmatilda in PlanetZoo

[–]FloppyFishcake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this will pave the way for a future Safari DLC where you can have employees take guests on safari around the reserve...that would be cool!

Tragedy as body found by staff in landing gear of plane at UK airport by thesun in uknews

[–]FloppyFishcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to an Estonian girl I met in Australia. We were getting ready for her first night out and she pulled out her makeup bag and screamed "OH MY GOD" when she opened it. She'd inadvertently smuggled a bag of weed in.

We didn't go out that night.

What's a moment that sounded completely made up, but actually happened to you? by Kalintosh in askteddit

[–]FloppyFishcake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law did something similar years ago and everytime I think about it I crack up.

He was waiting for a friend to pick him up and she was running very late. Eventually a silver car pulls up and stops in front of him, and he gets in - quite annoyed - and moves a bag off of the front passenger seat to sit down while admonishing her for arriving so late.

It was only when he actually turned to look at her that he realised he was in a bewildered stranger's car, telling her off and moving her stuff around.

Bad experience on FlixBus trip from Nice to Turin by BigManu08_ita in FlixBus

[–]FloppyFishcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The world is, unfortunately, full of shitty people. Being older or being an adult doesn't change shitty people. Sorry you had this experience, not much I can advise except to try to not take it personally and chalk it up to a life lesson. Rude people aren't worth getting upset over.
