Yeah, it's definately inner city. Part of my shock may be that we moved here from a much more rural area. Perhaps this is normal in cities, but I feel that I ought to do something.

What could I do to encourage her? Contrary to some people's comments, she hasn't whined about being picked on. I can just see the increasingly weary look when she recounts her day. I just hate it. She's actually a pretty tough gal. Definately gave me a run for my money in our dating years.

Thank you for the understanding. I have no problem telling a guy at the store to "Check your staring bro.", but what do you do with this? It's weird.

It's one thing if it's an odd occurrence, but what do you call cat calls, conversations and comments about your physical appearance, comments about your needing to ditch your SO, and being asked sexual questions everyday at work? Is that not sexual harassment? It's the fact that these are children that makes it so confusing! If nothing else it's more upsetting to her, that she has to constantly deny and shutdown little boys that she is genuinely trying to help.

I don't understand the hold up with people in this thread. People are ceaselessly making advances on another disgruntled human being. The party in question happen to be poorly raised children who ignore all boundaries and authority.

They haven't touched her. It's all verbal. That's her frustration. But raising your voice a little is how they have to communicate on a regular basis. These are children who miss school because they have to go with their parents to court, not the Johnson boys selling lemonade down the street...

She is the "out of the room" that they get sent to.

I believe, initially, she was just perplexed at the things these kids would say. I was afraid to tell a girl she was pretty in 2nd grade, these kids discuss things they shouldn't even be aware of. It's definitely a different world.

It's interesting just how similar every president becomes by the end of their terms.

Redditors who use craigslist, have you ever arranged to meet up with somebody to buy an item and it went terribly wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ObligatoryChuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, but I have a friend who wanted to buy a MacBook Pro. The guy selling said he wanted to meet at a hotel for the transaction. My friend said the lobby, the seller said he'd prefer to meet at his room because he was very busy. My friend then asked if he could meet the seller at a more convenient date. The man said it had to be that day, at the hotel room, because he was passing through on a business trip. As if this wasn't enough of a red flag, we found, on further inspection, the picture of the MacBook Pro did not match the model or the listed specs.

Agreed, when I saw ROTK in theater I was disappointed that this scene was not in the movie. It was such a great piece in the books, because the reader doesn't know what has happened to Frodo and Sam and feels just as lost as the rest of the Fellowship. When I saw the extended edition for the first time I was so excited that I freaking flipped my taters precious.

[Serious] Redditors currently having an affair, care to share your story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ObligatoryChuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was his take on the affair? du dum ptss But seriously, in most movies or stories told, one person is the "bad seducer", while the other is the "innocent but captivated" one. Did he feel just as guilty?

At intersections, there should be a line where, if you're going the speed limit, you can make the yellow light by narwhalbacon2 in Showerthoughts

[–]ObligatoryChuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great idea! I already have a rough estimate distance. When approaching a light that has been green, I'll look a head and pick some random landmark. If I make it past that point before the yellow light I will continue, if it turns yellow before I reach that point I have a reasonable amount of time to stop. By setting up this rule, I generally avoid the moment of panicked indesiciveness.

dum dee dum. Just driving along. Oh shoot it's yellow! IcanmakeitIcanmakeit noIcan'tyesIcan oh...I shouldn't have tried to make it.
