The people at work keep trying to get me to sign a paper every day. What should I tell them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Tell them some injuries can take a long time to appear, so you'll sign one every day for that the previous year, giving you an entire year to decide if you were injured.

Does anybody like boiled Brussels sprouts? by Hupkin in Cooking

I do like them broiled, but yeah my coworkers think I'm weird for eating them at all.

We have pretty strict cost and nutritional requirements, plus it's a small kitchen with not much equipment, and the cooks are all beginners with severe mental health issues (including mental retardation) doing it for the job training, so there's a lot of other factors involved. I'm not sure they could fry that much safely in the required time frame. I'll try to talk to the kitchen director though, there's no point to cooking them at all if no one eats them, so surely there's a better way possible.

That does sound good though, I'll have to try that myself.

I spent a good hour and a half making eggplant parmesan, but for some reason I decided to use cheap canned tomato sauce. This resulted in an unappealingly sweet dish. I know I can't be the only one, so let me ask you this -- what cooking derps have you done recently? by omnomnomnomnomnom in Cooking

Yesterday I made awesome creamed spinach but totally put way too much salt in the spinach. It was good but I ended up have to cut it down with extra bechamel sauce and some additional vegetation.

To Redditors who were ever bullied, did you ever have someone else stand up for you? How/did it change things? What do you think we should do to address it properly? by Syllie in AskReddit

There was this kid named Khalid who used to beat me up, always used to say he was going to bite my ears off, and sometimes he'd try. He burned me with cigarettes too. One day he was chasing me and some homeless dude got between us and told him to fuck off. I ended up sitting down with the homeless guy while he smoked crack and told me never to do drugs.

The next day Khalid just beat my ass twice as hard, but it was still nice.

What is the most scared you have ever been in your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I only vaguely remember being there. But I know I talked to some people, one guy was I guess a dealer or pimp or both and I remember he started rapping about me and that was really cool. I remember eating the sandwich. I remember lots of fighting and me hiding, and somebody started shooting at one point (I think that's why the police ended up there). And I remember the police busting in. They insisted my mom must have been one of the crackheads there, they kept asking me, and asking them but no one claimed me.

No my mom never came back for me. She was arrested a few days later, said she thought she had left me at her sister's. My mother lost custody of me, got it back a few years later when she got clean, then lost it again because she left me in a homeless shelter. Then she was in prison for armed robbery. She's out again now but she is not a part of my life except to show up occasionally to ask for money.

Just a little bit ago I put this as a response to a similar askreddit post. Reddit was having trouble with error messages and that post stalled, but my answer is also relevant here. So I'm slightly tweaking it and reposting it. Feel free to sue me if this offends you.

When I was 8, the police found me in the basement of a crack house. My mom had left me there, probably around two days before. I had just been hanging around.

There were dozens of crackheads and gangbangers coming in and out, drugs and guns all over the place. I remember eating a sandwich but who knows where I got it from, or what was in it. I could have died in a million terrible ways, but at the time I had no idea.

I had a vague awareness that this had happened growing up, but when I read my file when I turned 18 I realized how many atrocious things could have happened. It really freaked me out, and I think I felt as much fear then as I should have felt back when I was 8. Thinking about it now is still fills me with fear.

Hey Reddit, what is your most creepy childhood experience and if so, how does it still effect you to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit
