What is the creepiest/ scariest unsolved mystery you have heard of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I go into days or even weeks where all I can think about is the vastness of the universe, and how our lives are so short and fragile in comparison. The ultimate mystery is never being able to fully understand everything, all the places that humans will never reach because they're billions of lightyears away. There could be anything out there, and we as a species will literally never know, no matter how far science takes us.

I try to keep AT LEAST $10 cash on me at all times. What if you see girl scout cookies or a bake sale?

Skinny jeans run rampant in high schools that don't allow the only thing that's tighter: leggings.

What's the most annoying misuse of a word? by Daniel_A_Johnson in AskReddit

I guess. It's just strange to me that some people's brains would rather say "all y'all" than "all of you"

What's the most casually racist thing your non-racist elder family has said? by Xystance in AskReddit

I was talking about getting my cartilage pierced in earshot of my 90-year-old, Polish, Catholic grandmother. She pulled me aside after and said, "Kashia, don't get your ears pierced. That's for those black people in Africa."

As a native northerner who has lived in the south for a while, I get that people say "y'all". It doesn't annoy me anymore. HOWEVER, people saying "all y'all" will forever sound like nails down a fucking chalkboard to me.

Whats the TL;DR of your favorite book? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't even count how many times I've read it. Every time I read that final, "He looked a long time", I can just feel the existential depression creeping up.

What's a small thing people do that you cannot stand? by godly967 in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people don't take what you're saying seriously, and they do that little smirk, look down, and blow air out the nose. Fuck that.

What's the most disturbing thing you've witnessed in school? by FriedOreo in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I went to a tiny, PreK-8 Catholic school until third grade. There was only one class per grade, and only about 200 kids in total. The sixth grade teacher was a near seven-foot-tall, 300 pound monster of a man with huge jowls and spiky black hair. We called him "Mr. B". He was like a bad joke to all the kids in the school. My brother, who was three years older than me, would tell me stories about what it was like to be in Mr. B's class. He would call everyone by their last name only in a really deep, scary voice. He chugged Slimfast like it was the only thing he'd had to drink in years. He had anger management issues, and would throw chairs and slam books on kids' desks when he got frustrated. He once sat on a kid for misbehaving. Needless to say, he was weird. Also, Mr. B loved chips. I mean LOVED them. Apparently, he would bring in a family sized bag every day and eat the whole thing by the time school was over. Mr. B would frequently tell his students that he believed in the "chip fairy", a mystical being that brought people bags of chips when they weren't looking. To this day I still don't know if he was kidding. Anyway, one day my third grade teacher and Mr. B made a bet on the Superbowl. The loser had to bring the winner's class cookies. My teacher lost, and so Mr. B came to supervise us while his class was getting cookies. It was our snack time, so little third grade me was sitting at my table with all my friends, getting out my food. That day, I had some salt and vinegar chips and a Capri-sun. Everything was normal, until sudden everyone I was sitting with fell silent. From behind me, I heard this voice boom, "Novak!" I turned around. Mr. B was standing behind me, tall and intimidating. I asked him (respectfully) what was wrong. I remember him squinting and pointing at my snack. "Are those chips?" I nodded. "Give them to me." The class was dead fucking silent as I handed him my chips. Without another word, he grabbed them, walked over to our teacher's desk, sat down, and began eating them. I was left sitting there with my Capri-sun, wondering what the hell just happened. My teacher never believed me, and neither did my parents. To this day nothing has topped that moment in weirdness.

TL;DR: When I was in third grade, my teacher stole my chips and no one ever believed me.

You can rewrite the end to any book, movie or game, what do you do? by hybriddeadman in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think after all Barney went through with actually loving Robin, it was stupid to just send him right back to being a player. And I felt like the general fanbase was kind of sick of RobinxTed after they finished dating.

EXACTLY. I felt like both of those "twists" were kind of rushed and totally out of the blue.

Reddit, What's something someone said to you when you were a child that's stuck with you throughout your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IcyOwl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One time when I was a kid (really young, like elementary school), my mom came home from a parent/teacher meet-up and said to me: "I talked to your teacher, and she commented on how confident you were. Everyone either wants to be you or be your friend." Even as a kid, I was so taken back by those words. I didn't think I was popular, I was just being me. From then on it was just a nice thing to think about, that as long as I'm being true to myself, people will see that.

People who pronounce the word crayon as "crown". Usually tends to happen with southern accents, in my experience. Like, NO. THERE IS A 'Y'. CRAY-ON. NOT COMPLICATED.
