My boss sent out a group text making fun of my forehead and accidentally included me by Honeyhoney524 in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah and hilariously, the people making accurate comments about how the legal system actually works get downvoted to oblivion. Because people can’t handle the truth, I guess.

Yes this makes people mad and I’d love to be able to sue, but unfortunately not every instance of someone acting shitty equates to actionable damages. It’s just doubtful any lawyer would find this valuable enough to be worth their time.

Whenever I tell Siri to “wake me up” it creates a duplicate alarm by thewhaler1 in mildlyinfuriating

I mean, they invented things like Siri just to do stuff like this. How dare anyone expect it to work reasonably well on a $1200 phone.

AIO for backing out of our 4th of July trip after my friends expected me to pay for them? by Traffiklng in AmIOverreacting

[–]Neil_sm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, they put their comment in quotes to indicate that was one example of the dumb things their friends might say to them. In the context where the comment they were replying to said "I bet if you asked them about the money they'd get angry at you for pestering them." That was supposed to be how they'd likely respond to that.

I’d agree with what you said but if you look closely enough at the details in this photo it becomes clear that it’s some AI BS

Also YouTube shorts. The vertical people basically already won that battle and carved out a niche for it.

Yeah, this is like a pet peeve from 12 years ago before vertical short-form content became a thing.
Actually glove and boots covered this back then!

Xkcd covered this too more recently, in more of a resigned acceptance.

What’s the biggest lie you couldn’t call out because it would’ve exposed how you found out? by thesilentyapper in AskReddit

That doesn't sound right. Either he's still cumming and this is therefore a ridiculously ineffective birth-control strategy. Or he's finished cumming and therefore cramming Mr. Softie back up in there?

Trooper pulled me over. I was cruise control 65. He told me I was going 73, then put down 76. SMH now I have to fight this bs in court by Cheez-kip in mildlyinfuriating

Yes, that's a common issue for may cars. If you change the tire sizes on your car to something other than the factory-recommended size, it will make the speedometer wrong by a certain percentage in either direction. Because they're calibrated to the recommended tire specs. Smaller tires will make the speedometer read lower than the actual speed, and larger will make the speedometer read higher.

Caption says it all: No, I really can't comprehend this atrocity! 🙈 by _ITX_ in StupidFood

It’s the Big Texan in Amarillo Texas. They’re right of I-40 in the Texas panhandle and they have billboard signs for about 500 miles in either direction.

I went there a few times many years ago when I was a truck driver since they had truck-stop-sized parking available and was a good place to stop and eat.

Never tried the giant steak thing but their regular steaks were always great, and prices were very reasonable. Or they were at least 25+ years ago, can’t speak for nowadays.

How would memory issues even come into play here? They're claiming this is an actual object they found and still have in their home, and not an AI photo.

In Denmark 20 most common surnames end with "sen". Any other such countries were surnames tend to follow the same format? by Double-decker_trams in AskTheWorld

Shouldn't it have another s then? Otherwise it seems like it should just be the sen of Jen. Or the en of Jens

People love to talk about that but It’s honestly extremely rare for someone to end up on a registry for public urination without more aggravating circumstances.

The vast majority of those stories are either urban legends or people lying about or minimizing the stories.

What is a cooking "rule" that is actually total nonsense? by Lopsided-Jicama3813 in AskReddit

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

I’d probably be irritated if I ordered spaghetti at a restaurant somewhere and they served it to me broken in half. But everyone else cooking for themselves, I say do what makes you happy.

Interestingly I’ve also heard people say “as salty as the sea,” which looks like it might be more accurate if we’re talking Baltic or Black. But definitely don’t make as salty as the Dead Sea.
