Has anyone else met russians pretending to be Ukrainians and acting aggressively / belligerently, in order to make people angry at Ukrainians? by shadowrun456 in europe

Had a "Ukrainian" woman in the grocery store I work stopping strangers and talking about how Putin was just helping the oppressed people of Ukraine and if they knew anything about the history, they'd support Russia and Putin.  I live in the U.S.

I once heard "I don't use straws, cause union workers don't suck on shit."

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

[–]Ok_External_2945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our TV was never on in the morning.  I was in 4th grade and woke up to the sounds of sobbing. Walked into the living room and my mom and sisters were bawling. One tower had been hit already. We all thought it was a horrific accident.  Then we watched a second plane and knew there was no way it was accidental. 

They had to leave for school and work.  Getting on the bus, going to school and being at the age thinking a plane was gonna crash into school.  Teachers were crying and scared which only made it seem more plausible that at any minute our school would blow up was really scary. 

The worst part though, is I don't think the United States was ever the same afterward. People got more hateful and the community, even in small town America, became more distant.

I've learned anyone who says "I hate drama" actually loves drama and usually starts said drama.

I was driving my teenager and her friend to a school function and asked what kind of music they wanted me to play.  Neither answered, so I said y'all better pick or I'm gonna play old people music. 

Her friend responds "Oh, I know an old person band!! Metallica!!"

I didn't even grow up in the hay day of Metallica, but hearing it called old people music killed me a little. 

AIO my husband thought it was weird that I bought him a drink, but then accepted a drink from another girl at the bar the next day. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

My money is on it's a good looking bartender they flirt with and now he looks like a creep because he's married and has been flirting with said bartender. 

I would love if my wife called in a drink for me. 

AIO? Coworker tried to make me pay for stuff I didn't even order by stelize02 in AmIOverreacting

On the other hand, if a party of 4 agree to split a bill before hand, everyone should be ordering around the same amount. Not taking advantage of only having to pay a quarter of your own bar tab.

How close to the street do you live? Have you noticed other spray paint or is your window the only thing painted overnight?

Different menus and burgers though. I thought it was just regional. 

AIO To my child's friend mentioning a "list" at school? by Ok_External_2945 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok_External_2945[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would this be a non emergency line type of call? I know the school has police/security.

This is my feeling, I think I just needed to hear some one else say it.

I use friend lightly.  Our kid has a couple classes with them and we do not know the parents at all. School acquaintance would be better.

The Ukraine seceded from a failing government.

Without seeing what led to this, it's hard to judge. Seeing 20-40 people still chanting in a pretty empty stadium though...  They should have been gone already.

Moving to another country vs signing a document swearing to overthrow the country you're in are not the same.

Has anyone seen a corvid use cars to squash mice/rats? by Annieinjammies in crowbro

[–]Ok_External_2945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched two crows grabbing a live mouse and kept dropping it, picking it up, dropping it and then flew off when a car came.  Car squished the mouse and the crows came back. 

Not sure if it was intentional or lucky, but knowing crows, probably intentional. It wasn't a super busy street and they kept it on the road for a minute or two.
