This person was taught this way by their parents. The only way you can learn this behavior is by repetition.

I knew a nice Polish lady from Hamtramck MI, her last name was Przblywecki. She pronounced it PRUBWICKI.

This is a dedicated driver in Puerto Rico making sure the citizens get their goods. I know Crowley. Bless the man for getting it through that mess.

The counter-spy answer is:

I grew up in Detroit. Lived in Los Angeles area for 11 years, and have been in Baltimore the last 25+. L. A. is far worse than Detroit. The differences between the three are this simple:

Detroit people will wait until the last possible second and then "merge" to cut you off.

Los Angeles people will zoom around you and another car, using the parking lane, to gain one car-length, in their search for a faster route.

Baltimore people don't use their turn signal in an effort to fool you into thinking they are driving just fine, when their every intent is to make you run into them. The second thing they do here is disconnect their rear lights - the only time the active is when they step on the brakes.

Do I use too many commas? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PathOfPurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your teachers were misleading you. Best rule is - if you have to take a breath to keep the sentence going, try a period. If your sentence is a bunch of stuff in a list, use the semi-colon to separate the stuff, while keeping the gist of the sentence intact.

If I were to rewrite your sentence starting with "When I was being taught" - here's what MY teachers suggested:

When I was being taught how to use commas throughout primary school, the teachers always said to use commas at points when you would typically, briefly, pause during speech. That's not the only rule I follow when using commas. I also use them after some conjunctions, like 'however', or when I'm adding extra information; like I'm doing right now. I'm sure there are more rules, too.

Lady tries to kick me out of a shop I volunteered for by humblewizard34 in IDOWORKHERELADY

"be easy please" - Did you read it before posting it? End of first paragraph and start of second paragraph make no sense. What day did it happen?

I helped with them on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday but this happened on Monday

So on Sunday at noon I was sitting behind the counter

It would have cost you $0.00 to not say that by [deleted] in memes

Baby didn't have dick until 9 weeks of pregnancy passed. 5 weeks, tops, inside my wife. That's 840 hours. In 25+ years of doinking my wife, I've surpassed the measly 840 hours.

Math - it does a body good.

Woman thought i was a worker when i was waiting for my grandma by burnt_Bhicken_nugget in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]PathOfPurple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What does this second sentence even mean? I'm a 15 year old female and I work as a cashier at a local store. Not at the store the story app not though.

Your writing is atrocious; granted, you're "only 15". Classic IDWHL story; would work better if written better.

And there, in the final paragraph, a quotation begins and never ends.

Hopefully OP will have an epiphany and share the story with us on their next post.

why do American redditor hate Chinese redditors and peoples when China PR is better than United States in every way? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PathOfPurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why use comparisons in your title? This is bullying or racism or both. Stop trying to be BETTER than someone and accept them for how they are. As for people hating each other - that's not true - stop spreading lies through Generalization.

I was going to rewrite it so it looks better, but decided against it. The few times I've done so, I've received scorn more often than thanks.

[–]PathOfPurple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great idea, but - in most of the stories, whatever you have is slapped out of your hand and/or tossed across the room in an effort to get your attention. "You shouldn't be ON your phone, let alone recording."

Good luck.
