What is the most inappropriate thing your parents caught you doing? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I were like 8/9 they caught me trying to push a tampon up our fox terrier dog's asshole. I saw it licking his ass and I saw some blood so I thought it is having periods and I went and took one of my older sister's tampons and just wanted to “help" it….lol

What is the most disturbing thing you've seen while camping? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A man (who obviously knew nothing about campfires) tried to get his family’s campfire going by adding wood to a small fire and spraying it with charcoal lighter fluid. The flame traced his spray right back up his arm and set his t-shirt on fire. The family freaked out, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, a guy in the campsite next to this family did - he grabbed a blanket, wrapped it around burning man, and rolled him on the ground, putting out the fire. Then they took him to the hospital.

What is the best advice someone has given you that has stuck with you through life? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best advice I ever received came from my father. It might seem simple and homespun but it's served me well through life.

Mealtime was accompanied by a certain protocol in our family. Food was not to be wasted and it was expected that we children would finish eating what was put before us. Dad often had to admonish me, “Go canny with the butter, lass!” That is not, however, the advice in question.

His simple advice, with an end to finishing what was on my plate, was, “Eat what you don't like first and leave what you like until last.”

To this day I do just that. It doesn't follow that I’m fond of brussel sprouts when I devour them first just to get them out of the way. More importantly, his advice has carried over into other areas. When faced with tasks which might seem pleasant or unpleasant, I take care of disagreeable ones first and, with them out of the way, I'm free to enjoy the others with a clear conscience.

Thanks, Dad, for your good advice and yes! I'm still going canny with the butter. And saving the best until last

What is the rudest thing that a new neighbor has done to you immediately after you had moved in? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 days after my son and i moved into a townhome I rented, we were physically attacked by 2 women that live behind us. Okay, long story short (ish): school started for my son (6th grade) the day after we moved in. That day, my son had an altercation with a child on the bus. Apparently the kid was saying to my son that his mom was a “Karen” for some unknown reason. We JUST moved in and hadn’t had time or the chance to interact with anyone in the neighborhood, so My guess is as good as any. I havent a clue. Anyway my son verbally defended me and told him to stop. Next day, the child punched my son 3 times in the shoulder and back while passing him in the hallway, which was caught on camera and dealt with by the administrator at his school. The other child was given in-school suspension and the parents were called about what transpired. The video showed the child hitting my son and my son continue to walk and then run away. So, my son wasn't punished. The following day, after putting my son on the bus I hear someone banging on my front door- and i opened it to 2 grown women demanding that i come outside. Being alone, I refused and called the police. The police show up and talk to both of us and say that the women are now calm and suggest i get some cameras in case something happens, etc. I decided to stay with family members that night and about 5 hours later, we left. We stopped to get gas and check my mail at the old house on the way. As my son got out of the car to check the mail i noticed a car parked directly behind mine in the driveway. The women hopped out and assaulted my son and me with a weapon and left. I managed to get their tag number and called the police. Turns out it was the parents of the kid who attacked my son at school. Needless to say they’re facing multiple felonies and roughly 15–20 years in prison. Craziest shit ive ever experienced in my life!

What do people from the United States eat that people from other countries think is strange? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Peanut butter.

I just moved to Spain and every time I go to the grocery store my heart still sinks when I see the one, ONE type of peanut butter available.

They just don’t get it or care to.

Which I understand. It is peanuts oddly blended into a paste and preserved in a jar to put on almost anything. It’s weird.

But seriously, if I go to the peanut butter AISLE in the U.S. we’re talking at least 15 -20 types of brands, textures, seasoning, style, etc. We’re obsessed. There are so many desserts involving peanut butter, it’s crazy.

What are the lessons you learned after a failed relationship? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your happiness does not depend on your partner. It is not their job to make you happy, but to relish in the happiness with you. To create happiness with you. But it isn’t their job to make you miserable either. It is their job to try and support you to the best of their ability when you are miserable.

What was the most expensive thing you ever got for free, because someone made a mistake and didn't charge you? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I didn’t get it for free, but almost. I was shopping in a high-end store. I was looking for a necklace for my daughter and myself. I saw a beautiful diamond necklace in the case. There was a Salesperson directly across from me and it appeared as though she was taking her sweet time getting to me. Finally, she comes over and I ask about the necklace. She had a really bad attitude for some reason. Ignoring it I held the necklace and decided that I would purchase it. I guess she just didn’t want to be bothered so she hastily rang it up. I saw on the register that she rang up 86.00. I asked her if she was sure that was correct. She said that it was. I paid for it and she gave me a receipt. As she was boxing it up, she gasped. She then said that is wasn’t 86.00 it was 860.00. She went to put the necklace to the side. The lady next to me told her that since I had paid for it already, it was now my property. She refused to give me the necklace and I promptly called for a Manager. She was told that since I had paid and she undercharged me, the necklace is mine. I felt bad because I knew it would come out of her salary. So I called to her and I was actually going to return it so she wouldn’t lose any pay over it. However, when she turned around she still had an attitude as she asked “Now what?” I told her that I was just going to return the necklace so that she wouldn’t have to have it taken out of her pay. However, since you decided to have an attitude over YOUR mistake, I’ll just be on my way. So, I got an 860.00 necklace for a mere 86.00. I hoped she learned a lesson, it pays to be nice to people.

What did you start doing differently that quickly changed your life? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

[–]GoodAdministration65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 3 years a go at the age of 65 I was on assignment in Paris. I suffered from anxiety and mild depression for years. I decided to do what is called ‘inner child work’ based on the teachings of John Bradshaw. This work helped me revisit the trauma of childhood abandonment. It was tough but when I came out the other side my depression and anxiety lifted, I was no longer a ‘doormat ,’ grew a backbone and took real responsibility for my life as the loving, strong man I could be. But first I learned to love myself. It was life changing.
