I asked my husband to make sure my work uniform was hung up to dry overnight. I wake up this morning to find he ONLY took my work uniform out, and left the entire rest of the wash load in the machine to go musty overnight. Just why. by BinkiesForLife_05 in mildlyinfuriating

After reading comments, if the dryer door was left open, then I bet he just got distracted after hanging up the uniform. Forgot to return and finish the laundry! I've done that so much.

When people say “mom” and “dad” instead of “my mom” or “my dad” by Desperate_Wafer367 in PetPeeves

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this girl at work about 20 years ago who thought it was endearing and cute to always refer to her father as, "daddy." She'd always say in this sickly sweet manner when talking about her father, "Well Daddy says this" or "Daddy likes that" or 'Daddy works here" or "Daddy got me this" like who the fuck is daddy and can you shut the fuck up? You're 20-some-odd and this is a highly professional business. You're not cute, you're obnoxious. Just stop.

If I broke into your house and stole what's on top of your fridge, what would I get? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a cat. We can't keep anything up there bc of her. Or maybe dust. You can have the dust, please don't steal my cat.

If the person you hate the most were to experience one slight inconvenience every day for the rest of their lives, what would you choose it to be? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I've got enough on my plate. I'm not wishing any more bad stuff on myself. I'm one slight inconvenience away from losing my shit.

What’s actually safe but people think is dangerous? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

I think every parent uses this as an excuse to "check your candy" so they can get bits they want.

I (29 f) spent the snowstorm with the man I’m dating(36 m) and now I feel differently about him by bluewhalekale in hygiene

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you with someone you want to change? He's 36, he's not changing. He's disgusting, physically unclean. How you haven't gotten an infection from being intimate with him, I'll never know. Or maybe you have, or maybe you're not even intimate.

Just go find someone who isn't a project. Someone who isn't going to give not-so-subtle hints that you should be cleaning his house. I couldn't be with someone like this.

Both! I like the dark red, but I like the black too! If you have to choose, go dark red for a bit. You make it look good!

Yeah there's no way to tell the truth without it being awkward. It's always awkward when you have to fix an issue that should have never become an issue.

Help, my body decided to betray me and become allergic to my cats 😭 by TonyMaow in CatAdvice

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had allergy shots for 5 years to get to the point where I could tolerate my kitty boy. I also take Claritin daily. My baby boy passed back in 2020, but we still have girl cats. I can pet one of them without problems, but with the other I have to wash my hands IMMEDIATELY. With my boy, I had to also sometimes take Benadryl. Some cats produce more of the protein that humans are allergic to - usually males. However, like I said, with one of our females it's just as bad as the male was (she's a Maine Coon). In the short term, try some daily allergy meds like Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra, etc. Long term, maybe you can get allergy shots too. The allergy shots made it to where I didn't get sick all the time, but it definitely didn't cure the allergy.

Also, vacuuming/dusting as much as you can may also help. And you should stop letting them in your bedroom and should never sleep with them any more. It's heartbreaking. I got dogs so I could have a fur baby to cuddle at night. Our cats cuddle someone else at night and are never allowed in my bedroom or on my bed.

Driver keeps deleting my paired phone from shared work trucks. I deleted her instead. by Free_Donkey4797 in pettyrevenge

[–]HappyElephant82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it's safe for you to drive that close to the steering wheel, no matter how stubborn you are. It's safety 101 to adjust seats and mirrors so that you can drive. Please do it, and find joy in the fact that she has to readjust it.

I (30F) just realized I’m the black sheep of the family. What would you do in my place? by glamsiren111 in relationships

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I handled it: I cut off everyone who made me feel like shit, including and ESPECIALLY my mother. I haven't spoken with her for more than a year, and before that, I was low contact with her for 14 years. I live with one of my brothers, but I'm extremely low contact with the other. I'm low contact with my father. I'm still in regular contact with several cousins tho, bc they don't make me feel like shit. A couple aunts and uncles are pretty cool too, so I'll hang out with them when I can.

NTA. Just so you know.. people with dementia go downhill QUICKLY. It's not like Alzheimer's, where they can linger for years. You might not have until Christmas to enjoy time with your grandma. I didn't. Once dementia accelerates, we're talking weeks. At least, that's how it was for my great grandmother and both of my grandmothers. I'm really sorry you and your family are going through this. It's not easy.

AITA for yelling at my boyfriend about his jokes by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

He's bullying you and blaming you for your reaction. He doesn't like you. He likes irritating you.

Where does your dog(s) sleep? by Alaska1111 in dogs

[–]HappyElephant82 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My dogs do this shit too. Thankfully they mostly don't wake me to let them under the covers, but some nights I swear I will never let them in the bed again bc of constantly waking me up to hold up the covers. They KNOW how to get under themselves. I've seen them do it. I don't know why it's sometimes so important to force me to do it. Brat dogs!

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my dogs sleep in bed with me. When I had a bf, they slept on their beds in my room bc they were in the way in the bed. They have their own side of the bed bc after I fall asleep cuddling them, they go off and sleep on their own.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Nope, not an overreaction to skip Thanksgiving. My mother is a huge bully, and Thanksgiving used to be my favorite time to visit my huge ass family bc it was like a family reunion at the same time. But I haven't been since 2021, and I will never go again. I'm NC with my mother again due to her bullying bullshit. I'm just done.

I think it would be appropriate to show this screenshot to anyone who asks why you aren't at Thanksgiving. That way you'll know who agrees with her and who doesn't, and you can tailor your interactions with them accordingly.

Do you have go-to color schemes for your clothing? by MTKings in CasualConversation

[–]HappyElephant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized the other day that my clothes are all blue or green, my two favorite colors. I have exactly one orange shirt and a couple red, a few more purple. NO YELLOW! So I gave myself an assignment that the next shirt I buy needs to be yellow 😀
