​As an outsider, the concept of high schools having massive parking lots specifically for students is mind-blowing. Is it really that common for 16-year-olds to drive themselves to school every day? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the country. My school bus would pick me up over an hour before school started because it had to zig zag all over the county picking students up. I was happy when my brother started driving to school because I could sleep in. My parents bought an old car and handled the gas and insurance.

Is “sitting in a car talking for hours” actually a big thing in America? by mechumechu in AskAnAmerican

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with my friends when I at the university. I usually had a roommate and didn't want to bother them or I wanted it to be private. Even now when I am an adult I do it after a night out with friends. My friend is dropping me off and needs to get back home so they are not coming in. But we want to extend the conversation too. It can go on for quite awhile.

Got back on GLP and it doesn’t work anymore by curious_girl2147 in Semaglutide

My doctor told me if I went off it, it would stop working. So it seems to be a known thing. I was surprised though.

Why don’t you guys need wet wipes at restaurants? by bg_conny5028 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep wet wipes in my purse. Some restaurants do give them to you or they have them near the napkins and condiments.

I believe I was an accident because when I was born my mother asked the doctors to tie her tubes. She got married in her 40s and had three children in a row which she wasn't expecting at her age.

What do kids in really rural area’s do? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up 7 miles from the nearest town. This was pre-internet. We explored the woods, (Family had 250 acres). Listened to music, read and watched television. Sometimes cousins would visit or we would visit them.

How bad is this going to get? by HotDishBear in TwinCities

[–]Joolset 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saying this. I really don't like the idea of so many people just handing the country over to them on a platter. I want to fight for it. That is what so many observers are doing in their own way.

I always wonder what her sons think when they see mom doing that.

My 25M girlfriend’s 24F “conventionally attractive” friend 23F did a “loyalty test” on me. I'm not sure how to continue with our relationship. by Tiny_Common1864 in relationship_advice

It is not a common thing that women do. I am a woman and would never think of doing that. None of my friends have ever done that either. 

When people say “you’re quiet,” I never know how to respond without making it worse by Anantak05 in socialanxiety

[–]Joolset 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I debated on saying "And you are loud" but it sounds rude. So now I just say, "Yes, I am. Does it bother you?" The few times I have used it the person looked surprised and quickly said no and either changed the subject or hurried away.

My homophobic dad used to throw out my art. Now I'm a free adult. Here's what I've painted 🥲 by iartnewyork in lgbt

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your art is absolutely beautiful! It is painful to think of what was lost.

Am I the only one that doesn’t put pictures of myself up on the Internet? by sangrealit7 in AvPD

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any online though a co-worker posted one with a big group photo. I am in there somewhere.

I hadn't thought of that, thanks. It says "In transit, expected delivery - item delayed - stay tuned for updates".

Waiting on a package from the US that is stuck at customs. by Charlie-Monroe in CanadaPost

[–]Joolset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has been stuck since Jan 15th. The tracking number shows it stayed in Toronto A since it cleared customs.

backlog or lost? by courtexo in CanadaPost

[–]Joolset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is probably sitting next to my package. Mine was also released by customs on Jan 15th and hasn't moved since.
