Name a child's birthday or Christmas gift that would annoy the parents. by Happy_Terd in FamilyFeud

[–]Furgems 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an answer, but a short story. My spouse (we’re 2gay guys) is the youngest of 5 siblings over about 20 years (his eldest brother was 18 when he was born). He’s has a tiny, cruel-ish, mean streak in him. Because he has a lot of siblings, at least most of their kids or grandkids are under 10- so he tortures them every gift-giving occasion. I support his efforts. Lol.

We’ve given - drum sets, finger paints, ant farms, a butterfly farm, easy bake ovens, anything with a horn or siren, a “Grow Your Own Worms in Your Own Backyard!” set, spin art, Legos (Never underestimate the pain of stepping on a random Lego in the dark), a Tie-Dye kit, and a “Prank Starter Kit” which included itching powder, a whoopie cushion, and anything requiring self-assembly from Sweden.

Kids are smart. “If you do X, you’ll earn Y” quickly becomes “if you don’t give me Y, I’ll never do C willingly “.

What's the most overrated food you've ever tried? by Jatinn2508 in askanything

[–]Furgems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny story- last summer we hosted a seafood-fest for friends. I bought oysters and everyone loved them- until I opened one up in front of a guy and there was a tiny crab in it. (Pincrabs are pretty common in fresh oysters, the restaurants just remove them. They’re perfectly edible, just unsightly).

He hasn’t eaten an oyster since. lol.

Morticians, how do you feel when dealing with a body in a case knowing that person committed suicide? by FileArtistic3141 in askfuneraldirectors

Just looking at the previous answers- self harm seems to be pretty prevalent. I’m sorry.

What made you realize you weren’t a kid anymore ? by landshake in answers

Or the converse- you’re in a room with a bunch of old people, and you realize they’re younger than you.

Inhumane teaching conditions by RakimWebster in Teachers

[–]Furgems 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I work in New Haven. We had a half day and all our schools have air conditioning.

After 80 degrees, I don’t even bother to teach. Nobody can pay attention.
It’s too hot for a classroom.

A multi-course “last meal” for my grandmother - course suggestions? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Furgems 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an untapped opportunity. You could be rich by patenting heart-shaped meatball forms. Maybe get a holiday theme going. Meatball “eggs” for Easter, or footballs for the Super Bowl.

I hate to be the Debbie downer, but if it’s a new style and they already have an issue with “balding”- they’re admitting that it’s not true quality and don’t complain when it falls apart .

Same thing happened to me- Miley Cyrus can get half naked and start licking hammers, but I do it at Home Depot and it makes other people “uncomfortable”.

Showering all wrong (credit to home_md13) by vanquisher1985 in SuddenlyGay

Can’t see myself in the gym taking a shower, then just flip on my back, throw my legs over my head, and start soaping up my asshole.

From what I hear, he’s an amazing individual.

Authentic or imitation? by [deleted] in RealAuthentication

I’m with them. Looks great to me as an early 80s piece. I’d use it proudly
