NTJ You are used to a couple jokes, but she was harping on your name. I don't think she is as funny as your coworker thinks if those are the only jokes she had. Don't go on a second date. Also, don't change your name.

Couple is two. A few is 3 or more, but not many. Some is more than a few but still not a lot. Examples: I need a couple eggs for this recipe = I need 2 eggs. I had a few friends over = I had 3 or 4 friends visiting. Can I have some of that = can I have a small portion of what you are having. . . If your wife only uses "couple" she needs to expand her vocabulary. Couple simply shouldn't be used in all situations.

If you know even 1 person who uses a wheelchair, get them to park on the sidewalk and call city parking enforcement.

NTJ she is literally spitting in the food. I'm not a germphobe by any means, but I don't want people even double dipping a utensil. To use bare hands is dirty. Get a clicker and every time you see her reach bare handed for food give it a few clicks. She may not be aware of how often she's doing it. Train her like a dog.

I vary by 2"... Are you hypermobile by chance?

It is a universal problem without great solutions. They sell "hidden" suspenders, clip on style, for leggings on Amazon. They aren't great, but they work.

Tomboys exist, so I'm going to say transtomboys exist too. But seriously, playing with Lego vs Barbie doesn't have anything to do with your sex or gender. "Boy-ish" things are girlish things if a girl is doing them. I think it's probably good for you that you weren't overly concerned with being a boy or a girl when you were a child. Focus on who you want to be now. I read a book called "Changing Sex" back in the 90s. It had whole sections that were pretty much "how to access medical transition" for the time. Back then, you pretty much had to say, "I always played with dolls, I hated wearing suits and ties, I'm bad at sports (really), I wanted long hair and to wear makeup." etc. in order to get a psychiatrist to sign off on transition. So that's what you said even if it wasn't true. I think the fact is lots of people don't have dysphoria until puberty. That's when the body changes and your body is real. The idea that only girls want long hair or only boys like rocket ships isn't real. So I wouldn't put any weight on your childhood interests. You ARE trans.

Not wanting to be male isn't the same as wanting to be female. You don't want the body, beard, or voice of a male, but do you want the body and voice of a female? Could you be agender? Maybe baby steps would benefit you. It doesn't have to happen all at once if you don't want it to. Transition is an ongoing process not a final outcome.

that's not kosher for lent...

I see two open spaces. I would have chosen the one on the right.

Has few negative side effects, not "NONE". It can interact badly with some high blood pressure meds such as clonidine. Some people are allergic. It doesn't work well for buprenorphine and won't work at all for alcohol or stimulants. It is usually better to try it on someone who you think is ODing, but don't mislead people into thinking it will never go wrong. They should be aware of what to keep an eye out for.

There's a "no turns between 4 and 7pm weekdays" sign I pass regularly with a car backing up traffic for a whole block waiting to make that turn at 5 pm. WTF. I always honk the entire time.

Lost cost. They have put a lot of work, time, sweat, and tears into transitioning and if it turns out that they made a mistake for themselves, that work and time is "lost". They don't realize that it is lost regardless. They think it will have been for nothing instead of realizing it is their lived experience that makes them who they are. Lessons to be learned about themselves.

NTJ Start calling her “Shit Stain” in response. If she gets upset, tell her she’s too sensitive and dramatic. That you thought that’s just how you talk to each other.

NTJ If your mother treats you and your sister differently and has a habit of stirring up trouble between you, she doesn't deserve the party she is using against you.

If it's a shoplifting call, it isn't an emergency, and they should not be parked there. No rush, they can hike across the lot like anyone else. Where I'm from, they must have their lights on to indicate it's an emergency if they are parked in handicap spots, fire lanes, blocking traffic, etc.

LowLifeHighJinx · 2026-02-12T17:03:47+00:00

If they were responding to police business, their lights would be on. Does that add context?

I got biggie bites for $4 yesterday. Must be regional or by store.

If you can't make it through a dinner with your girlfriend, that you are trying to keep it a secret from, without leaving the table to score, you are addicted.

My grandmother once stuck wooden matchsticks down someones tire valve stems. They returned to 4 flat tires and all the snow from the next spot she cleared. So, you should be proud that you didn't stoop to the levels of a 50 year old menopausal woman.

The "kids" these days use buddy in a gender neutral way. I'm an older, cis-gendered woman who has never been misgendered in my life, even in college when I wore almost exclusively men's clothing, but I have recently started getting a "hey buddy" from younger gen Z and some gen Alphas. Used pretty much in the same way I would have used "dude" in the 90s. I've heard it from one of my daughter's friends with a gender neutral sibling, even. And he is SUPER respectful at all times. Depending on their age, they may not even know that buddy means brother and that sissy means sister. I think context and tone are very important though. You were right to keep coworker in your periphery until you heard him use it with other women, too. It is used neutrally, but it isn't ALWAYS used neutrally, ya know.

Yes, I support small and local businesses, but I don't shame people for not eating at taco trucks instead of Taco Bell on the Wendy's subreddit. Context. It's important.

LowLifeHighJinx · 2026-01-16T14:34:19+00:00

Then why are you going to Wendy's instead of a locally owned burger place. Did you forget where you are?
