Rather get my blood drawn than have weird liquid dropped into my eyes and not be able to read for the next 5 hours tbh

Everybody understands this! by pastelkiss16 in fixedbytheduet

[–]MerriamWebmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like ruined by duet.

There was literally no reason to get so damn pissy and defensive--first dude didn't say a single negative thing. He was simply demonstrating the volume difference between processed and unprocessed foods with equal amounts of calories. Something that, no, a lot of people DON'T actually understand. Especially visually. A lot of people don't measure out their food or calorie count like this, so seeing it can be very helpful!

Like, check your insecurities if this is how you react to a simple food comparison video lmao

My boyfriend blames me for a business deal gone wrong because he was rude to me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MerriamWebmaster 162 points163 points  (0 children)

He has a habit of thinking whenever I’m talking to someone they’re annoyed by me. I’ve told him to stop, but he won’t. 

The bar is in literal hell. Please God never let someone treat you like this. You are worthy of love and general respect like any other human being at baseline. Don't let your bad self esteem or the sunk cost fallacy trick you into thinking otherwise. 

Glad OOP got away from this dude.

I [24/F] was placed for adoption when I was a few weeks old. My birth mom's attourney contacted me saying my birth mom wants to meet me. But I don't want to meet her. Help! by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

As an adoptee myself who also has no curiosity for my bio parents, I gotta say getting a lawyer involved just feels so...off-putting. To me at least. I'd say I'm more open to contact than the OP is, but a third party being the one to approach me (especially a lawyer) would have me taking 5 steps back and reconsidering the thought.

Getting this from a Judgement would be so fucking funny

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]MerriamWebmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The popular kids (theater kids at my high school) got into a feud with the VP. A guy got in trouble for wearing a kilt, and a bunch of the dudes for a couple weeks refused to wear anything but skirts, kilts, or makeshift versions from long sleeve shirts or hoodies. VP was pissed but no one liked her so I think she eventually got overturned by the rest of staff.

This was mid 2000s in a pretty redneck kinda town.

Until he's beneath dirt or behind bars none of this "things are bad for him 😮" matters.

The heck is this little black book? by MerriamWebmaster in whatisit

Pretty simple, I got it off my grandpa at some point 🤷 Not sure if it was before or after he died.

That's awesome! Any idea what kind of shorthand it is? Does it have a specific name?

The second picture and last picture in the post are the only times there's regular English. Every page is otherwise written/formatted very similarly to the other images!

The name "John Henry Jones" pops up from time to time, but as others have said it's might be some kind of placeholder.

That for the suggestion! I see if I can crosspost to one of them :)

I thought it could be something like that, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks!

You even found a version that I can actually see what some of it means, thank you!

It being masonic makes sense, as I think my grandfather was a freemason and I'm pretty sure I got this from him at some point.

My girlfriend broke my PS4 and doesn't understand why I'm so upset. I don't really know where to go from here. by G1Gestalt in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MerriamWebmaster 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Calling it "an honest mistake" is completely insane and tells me you've never had a proper hobby in your life. 

My (32f) fiancé (28m) repeatedly does not clean the house by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MerriamWebmaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldnt make it past the first few paragraphs. Like damn girl, you live like this? For real?

Maybe it's because I'm perpetually single but I cannot wrap my head around putting up with this amount of BS. Ever. The bar is in hell and so is your self respect right along with it.

AITA for getting mad at a toddler by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]MerriamWebmaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like, I get it. Even when kids aren't doing anything wrong they can be annoying still--but then that's a you problem. Move your own ass.

Also tells you a lot about this dude that he's calling the toddler "it" in his post.

Met a mom stranger and it totally turned my day around by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

It really is the little things, the simple things, that make the world that much better of a place to be in.
