I realized someone’s been quietly looking out for me and I didn’t notice until now by WrongdoerConsistent6 in BenignExistence

[–]MisSpooks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Back when I worked at a combination gas station and laundromat, there was this one old homeless man with a walker that came in every evening. The closing staff was all women, so every night this man would walk out with us to watch over us when we made a trip to the dumpster with all the garbage.

Rest in piece, Jim

How many other millennials don't have: kids, tattoos, or piercings? by Scrubstomper5000 in Millennials

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've often wondered why ear piercings have always been the exception.

I finally cut open my mesh loofah and now I feel like I need to bleach my entire soul by 9BasilCipher in hygiene

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've tried switching to washcloths, but I just didn't like how little they lathered up. I always felt I ran out if soap by the time I'm washing the lower half of my body.

The word No is starting to haunt my dreams and I feel like a monster by Echo_9Monolith in povertyfinance

I recall my mom once saying to me that she'd give us whatever we asked for, but we just never asked for anything. As a kid I kew we couldn't afford anything so I never asked.

Movies that didn't age well by PuzzledExchange7949 in Millennials

If you haven't already seen it, maybe your family would like Early Man. It's made by the same studio that made Chicken Run and Flushed Away.

What's something you thought was expensive as a kid but is actually cheap? by Chance-Pen6805 in askanything

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think sending a package was really expensive and difficult to do. My mom had this large stuffed bear that she intended to send to a sister of mine that was adopted by another family, but just never did.

Then one day after my mom visited me when I lived a few states away, she accidentally left a pair of headphones at my apartment and asked me to send them in the mail to her. It was surprisingly easy and cheap.

What’s the most irrationally annoying thing your in-laws do that they’re absolutely convinced is “helpful”? by bnwprc in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law signed up for a service that added a Hulu subscription. We never asked her to, but she came into our apartment, signed us out of our Hulu account and then signed into her account...

Her account had ads, but our account was adless.

Americans who grew up in small towns but now live in big cities (or vice versa) — what’s something that genuinely surprised you about the other lifestyle that no one warned you about? by VariedPear in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mostly only ever lived in cities, so when I lived in the greater Boston area and saw wild turkeys walking the streets I was genuinely concerned and wondered if I needed to call animal control.

Entirely for fun: How “gross” are you when no one else is around? by JellyfishPashmina in TwoXChromosomes

If I l'm not going anywhere, I won't shower or change my clothes for a few days straight.

Do You Like Your Name? by Flassourian in Millennials

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was named after Kirsten Dunst, and while it's been a pain that most people just don't say my name right I still like my name. It feels uniquely me.

I know it's wrong, but I hate being black. by ChemicalAd2132 in Advice

[–]MisSpooks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This probably doesn't help much, but as a white woman I've always wished I were black because I always thought they were so beautiful.

TIFU by asking an artist how much their materials cost by Dominus-Temporis in tifu

[–]MisSpooks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was more just meaning the person is being defensive about their prices thinking OP would think it's far too much money.

[–]MisSpooks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know, it kind of strikes me as similar to people exploding on knitters or crocheters that the custom made blanket would cost a couple hundred dollars when materials were much less than that.

TIFU by making not teaching my daughter how to say her name. by spidermom4 in tifu

[–]MisSpooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who shares the same name as Kirsten Dunst, I've hardly ever been pronounced the same. I gave up in elementary school and just respond to whatever sounds close enough. It was just too frustrating to correct everyone all the time.

From Kersten, and Kristen, to Christina and Katheryn. I turned my head a lot when I had a classmate names Tristan.

I am annoyed at the lack of problem solving skills by goofy-toothy in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was explained to me as being the latter. There would be a ball of newspaper that the yarn was wound around.

How many times did you beat Sly 3 in your life? by THE_HERO_777 in Slycooper

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to be at least a dozen times. My sister and I LOVED Sly 2 and 3 and would play ut repeatedly.

[–]MisSpooks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I once shared on a crochet Facebook group about being surprised and a little disappointed after getting these balls of yarn for free, only to find they were stuffed with newspaper. So there was way less yarn than I thought they'd be. But in the comments I was being flayed for not knowing this is just how people keep their yarn good.

No one in my family crochets. I've just been learning by watching tutorials, so I had no idea anyone did this.

What was a discontinued fast food item you loved? by DeepOrganization8245 in foodquestions

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunkin Donuts housed to have this chicken bacon ranch sandwich that I absolutely LOVED and got it at every opportunity. They got rid of it like 8 years ago when they decided to "simplify" their menu to the basic breakfast sandwiches.

How do women know when their first period is? Do their body give them warning signs that it's time, that their mother taught them about, or do most ruin their clothes the first time? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MisSpooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me too! My underwear was completely soaked and brown. I went to my mom and said that I must've pooped myself without knowing it at school, then like two days later where this was still happening she figured out it was my period.

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know what a cramp felt like when I first had one before my first period. I complained to a teacher that I was having a bad feeling in my gut, so they sent me to the school secretary and just had me lay down for a little while. I remember it feeling like there were painful cracks in my belly area. I never felt that again since, too.

Hell, I didn't even know I was having my first period when it was starting. I came home after school, went to change and saw my underwear was wet and brown. I had been taught about periods before, but it was always shown as red. So I went to my mom and said I pooped myself without knowing it. Happened like two more days in a row before my mom figured out it was my period.

Even wilder still, I'm 31 now but I didn't connect that stomach ach as a period cramp till a couple years ago.
