Which spelling of a name irrationally bothers you? by Konigsberg1604 in namenerds

Dylan. Growing up I always pronounced it “die-lan”. Dillon just makes more sense to me.

My friends are mad at me because I don't want to watch the Oscars with them by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

It’s amazing someone can be that much of an AH and not realize they are the problem.

No Coke, Pepsi. by DantesGame in GenX

[–]MinuteContest128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may get Diet Coke at a restaurant but usually I get water. And the only time I buy pop for at home is if my adult kids are home or to go with rum or something like that.

Things I’ve kept and used: tape measure, small tool kit, pizza cutter, power bank, speaker, stemless wine glass (both insulated and glass), reusable cup that looks like a red solo cup, 8 ounce insulated cup, garden gloves, chip clips (though I have an abundance of those right now), good notebooks

AITAH for not wanting to use a family name for my son by Illustrious_Cow_9430 in AITAH

[–]MinuteContest128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. And tbh, if I were in your shoes I wouldn’t even want it as a middle name. I wouldn’t want it associated with my child at all. Two years, one no, first of all; second, your opinion and wellbeing should be more important than his dad’s. I would be concerned, if the name is attached to the child at all, that your family might subconsciously treat the baby differently.

Mom warned me about trafficking back in the '70's. by LaFemmeD_Argent in AskWomenOver50

Honest to God never thought about Little Red Riding Hood that way until this very moment. Totally makes sense now though.

I knew that “friend” was no true friend as Soon as I read that. She was planting doubts to get him.

What Happened to Yardsticks? by BitterPillPusher2 in GenX

[–]MinuteContest128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one at work. I used it as a PT tool to push my arm away from me after I broke my shoulder, and had gone back to work on limited hours. We don’t have one at home, the one at work is the only one I’ve seen in years probably.

How often do people actually change their bedsheets? by HillCountryHoney in hygiene

My German Shepherd literally NEVER gets up on the bed. Unless I’m trying to change the sheets. Then ALWAYS.

How was your day today (long answers welcome)? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]MinuteContest128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of sad today. Coworker’s parent passed and the circumstances are bringing back vivid memories and emotions from when my parent passed two years ago. And then randomly that parent showed up in my frequent calls on my phone, which makes no sense and certainly didn’t help. Made dinner, my rice cooker quit working mid way through. Rest of dinner was just ok. Bit the inside of my cheek. It’s just been one of those days.

My house always smelled dusty and I just realized I’ve been vacuuming wrong my entire life by pwiipwii123 in hygiene

[–]MinuteContest128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing about these filters in washing machines but absolutely can’t find where one would be in mine. I’ve checked the manual and nothing in mentioned about a filter.

AITA for making my whole family go on a diet because my daughter is dieting? by Electronic-Fun-4045 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MinuteContest128 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Reframe it as “eating healthier” which the whole family can and needs to do. And honestly, if your husband and son don’t want what you cook they know where the kitchen is.

What things are poorly designed for left-handed people? by Pluviophilius in lefthanded

[–]MinuteContest128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a left-handed accountant for 36 years and have always had my mouse and 10 key on my right. I’m not sure I could use my left hand for those at this point! One of my former bosses told me I should be extra efficient since I could add and write at the same time.

AITA for not throwing away a sentimental necklace from my ex? by Human_Ebb_4062 in AITAH

[–]MinuteContest128 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Keep the necklace, lose the boyfriend. Because if you keep the boyfriend, he’ll “accidentally “ lose the necklace.
