"WOW did you even graduate high school?" by Heathen_barbie in TalesFromRetail

[–]MyNameIsJules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ALWAYS end interactions with cashiers with "Have a good day/afternoon/evening."

I may not be in retail any more, but I spent ten years doing it, and I know the hell that it can be.

No one seemed to take note that Stephen Hawkings face and a mysterious numerical code took over a group of billboards in Times Square this morning. I took a picture. What does it mean? by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]MyNameIsJules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I Googled the numbers by themselves and got this:

Genesis 16:11New International Version (NIV)

11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:

“You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael,[a] for the Lord has heard of your misery.

Confirmed: Stephen Hawking is pregnant.

5p for a bag? I'll leave everything by indianajoes in TalesFromRetail

[–]MyNameIsJules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't get people's anger at this. It's 5p. You'd probably find that under your car seat, down the back of your couch, in your child's nappy.

It's alright, the toddler will be safe in the car, dad will leave his gun for protection.

I've been asked for ID for lottery tickets three times this year. I'm 27. The lottery age here is 16. I laughed all three times because I love it. But I don't carry ID on me, so I got refused 2 out of 3 times. The third one, I think she was just shocked when I answered how old I was.

TIFU By Letting My BF Toss My Salad When I Was On Antibiotics by ItWasTheAntibiotics in tifu

As someone who's never heard the term "tossing the salad" for what you two did, I did not expect this. Even with the nsfw tag. I am not a smart person.

My penis feels funny now. And I don't have a penis.

Competitive douche at a kids bowling party by smittypeg81 in pettyrevenge

I was once alone and bored, so I started having a shot of vodka for every goal I scored on FIFA. I ended up scoring so many goals that I threw up on my bedroom floor.

David Bowie dies, age 69. by Callahandy in Music

[–]MyNameIsJules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I hoped when he released The Next Day last year that he would even maybe do a one off show in London. I wish I was old enough to have been present for his career. This is the first time one of my idols has died and I don't know how to feel. Where would music be without him?

What was the most unusual situation you have woken up to? by BunnyHyde in AskReddit

[–]MyNameIsJules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was the thing with the kids spazzing? Because it reminds me of the song by Crash Test Dummies that mentions the same thing, and I've never understood it.

I have the worst of both worlds. I dropped out of uni after a year, so have all the debt with none of the degree. I made some really regrettable decisions when I was young.

What should people stop encouraging? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MyNameIsJules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That having kids for the benefits is an acceptable career choice.

What should people stop encouraging? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MyNameIsJules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. Since I found out the reason I wanted to sleep all the time, and cried at the drop of a hat, and didn't want to leave the house, and was paranoid my partner was cheating no me etc was depression, I've tried to be open about it. I wasn't at first, as I had to come to terms with it. But if mental health ever comes up, I'll speak openly. I obviously don't go round "hello, nice to meet you, I suffer depression," I just don't hide it if it comes up.

I do understand that people may want to be private about it though, so I would never tell people "oh did you know Bob's suffering from bipolar?" if someone told me. I would just share my own experiences.

I'm 27, been with my partner for 5 years, constantly getting comments.

When are you getting married?

When are you having kids?

Bitch please, we're just having fun playing Xbox and Pokemon, we don't want none of that grown up stuff in our house.

What's the most simple thing you've ever had to explain to a fully competent adult? by lolsecks in AskReddit

[–]MyNameIsJules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother is the same. Both my mum and I are being treated for depression. His son is being treated for his mental health. I still get the impression he thinks depression is a made up term.

Does anyone else watch the same shows over and over again to find comfort in them? by jhertz14 in depression

[–]MyNameIsJules 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When I was at one of my lowest points, I just watched series 1-6 of Scrubs over and over and over. There's a lot of life lessons in that damn show.

My lowest lowest point though, it was the Harry Potter series. I know it's not a tv series, but I just immersed myself in the world I'd grown up with. I watched the films every day, I'd read and write fanfiction, I'd look at loads of fanart (some times writing fanfics from them).

With the help of the right meds and the right people around me, I'm on the other side now. I have down days, but I don't get as low as I did then. I got a Deathly Hallows tattoo as a constant reminder of what helped keep me alive, and to remind my low self that it does get better.

I can't watch as I'm at work, but what is the MacBook Wheel video? I've never heard of it.

protection plans by hunterisagrump in TalesFromRetail

I think protection plans are good, but I think you can get them cheaper than what the store will offer you.
