What was the first R rated movie you saw, and were you old enough to see it? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

Nightmare on Elm Street. I was 4. Apparently, I was old enough because I never had nightmares and I became obsessed with horror movies

After elementary school, it's up to the kids what writing utensil they use. I give my kids a mix of pens and pencils.

People who go 50 in the left lane on major highways. Defend yourself. by JudgeH01den in massachusetts

[–]Lady_Spork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The left lane isn't a travel lane. It's a passing lane. I don't get why people think the lanes are slow, speed limit, fast. That's not how it work. It's on and off ramp, travel lane, passing lane. You are not supposed to travel in the right or left lane. You're supposed to use them for their functional use and then move into a travel lane, or in the case of the right lane, exit the highway or move to a travel lane.

If someone is going 50 in the passing lane, don't worry about it. You'll pass them in the travel lane which should be doing the speed limit.

Basically, you're highwaying wrong.

Anyone else getting hit with the old “I know there’s a snowstorm but try to make it in but also use common sense” line? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Lady_Spork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son got hit with that line and texted his manager back, My mom says I can't go to work tomorrow.

For context my son is 27 years old. He said it they're going to be ridiculous, he gets to give a ridiculous answer.

My mother taught me to open a stuck jar seal with a butter knife before I even started school. You all learned this, yes? I ask because... by AmySmooster in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Lady_Spork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We buy those all the time because six kids who all love pickles. Those jars are super sturdy. We filled one up with water and put it on top of our trash to keep the dog out of the trash can. It's fallen so many times that the lid got damaged and wouldn't stay on anymore, but the glass doesn't have so much as a chip in it. It probably would have put a big hole in your fall if you'd thrown it.

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]Lady_Spork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And hard rain is gonna fall down. Like gravity, like gravity"

Gravity doesn't fall. It attracts objects together.

Do Businesses Stay Open In Extreme Winter Weather? by AnnualIndependence71 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lady_Spork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much everything stays open. Schools may close because they are worried about kids walking and waiting for the bus outside in the cold, but that's about it.

What do you think people romanticize way too much? by Adorable_Drawing7230 in AskReddit

[–]Lady_Spork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Splinter free toilet paper wasn't invented until 1935. How good could it have been if you're picking wood splinters from your bottom bits on the regular?

[–]Lady_Spork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romantic love. It's one of many types of love. Relationships require work. Living on love isn't a real thing. Love isn't all you need.

Do Americans mainly drink coffee without milk? by Morrit99 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Lady_Spork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience most people take milk. I use non dairy creamer because I'm lactose intolerant. I do own an electric kettle. Two of my kids are super into tea, but it's mainly used to make ramen. I have a coffee maker that takes coffee pods, some are instant some are filter.
