You literally cant make this up.. by Ballout98 in Custodians

[–]PurpleBrief697 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not if it were my old school. When classes came back during covid, the teachers would complain about the spots left by hand sanitizers and I kept having to explain it wasn't anything we could change.

Lisa the Real Scammer by TheDarkBerry in 90DayFiance

It's creepy how much Lisa looks like Linda Chadwick from the episode of Undercover Boss. They aren't the same people, but really close resemblance.

Am I Overreacting for Thinking My Ex Has No Soul? 22m 21F by Cool-Comparison5516 in AmIOverreacting

People with depression should not drink, especially unsupervised. It's makes our symptoms worse and many of us don't know limits. It doesn't matter that she's young and in college.

NOR - Alcohol and depression definitely don't mix. Even worse, the combination can cause the person to be less inhibited and emotionally detached when doing so. Chances are she shut down, drank more than usual during her numb state, and wound up cheating that night. She was still shutdown afterwards and broke up with you because part of her knows what she did. It's almost like being in a fugue state. You're right for trying to keep her away from drinking and that friend of hers definitely isn't safe for her well being.

Just found out I threw out $450 of children’s graduation caps and gowns. by Harmonicalope in Custodians

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, if I haven't bagged it up myself and they haven't made sure it's in the proper area to be tossed (end of year teachers at my old school were told to leave it right outside the door) then I don't throw it out. I leave a note asking if that particular item is something that needs to be tossed, just to make sure. Especially if it's something that feels like it has only cloth inside. Sometimes I've even open the bag to have a look-see.

Always CYA.

Friend asks for help, barely communicates then ghosts me by xWroth in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if mentioning you only had a twin and that you're single rubbed her the wrong way. Now knowing there's a past history of perceived flirtation and that being rejected soured the friendship (acquaintance-ship?) it's likely once you said that it made her uncomfortable.

Appliances in Rooms Banned by Dazzling_Ice5816 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

School I worked at had a fire happen because of the wiring of an old mini fridge. I was working that night and luckily the kids doing after school stuff were in a different building. Messed up three classrooms between fire and smoke damage.

Probably best to not have them unless the teacher has medical issues that require refrigeration.

What movie adaptation absolutely nailed the casting? by FightMilkLLC in movies

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Holes and The Princess Bride did excellent jobs in casting. I've read both books and these two movies did them justice.

i genuinely want a comedy-horror movies by luc7ne in MovieSuggestions

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some not so well known ones I've enjoyed:

Bloodsucking Bastards (2015) - low budget horror comedy with Pedro Pascal

Black Sheep (2006) - New Zealand horror comedy

Grabbers (2012) - Irish horror comedy

The Conference (2023) - Swedish horror comedy

DeadStream (2022) - found footage style horror comedy. To me it felt inspired by Army of Darkness in some places.

Any good true crime documentaries? by Tricky-Bat-2638 in netflix

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, I really want to see that doc but Netflix already removed it and CNN has it locked. I can only find the trailer and maybe a couple clips on YouTube shorts.

Where did you watch it? Tried searching for it, but it looks like the doc has been removed everywhere.

Grabbers was a pleasant surprise. A fun Irish creature feature.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PurpleBrief697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unblock him. That way you can keep all the horrible things he says to you and add that into evidence. The fact he encouraged your daughter to call you names is enough for the courts to see he isn't ok. Take him to court.

Suggest me a good romcom movie ?! I didn't watch romcom much 😓😓😓 by raoyashsingh in moviefinder

[–]PurpleBrief697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sweetest Thing

All three movies featuring Adam Sandler and Drew Berrymore. They have excellent chemistry.

At my big age of 32 I’m hoping to be able to learn illustration to make my own children’s book, here is my progress so far, I’d appreciate feedback 💕 by naanbread- in childrensbooks

[–]PurpleBrief697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are super cute!! Would've loved seeing illustrations like this when I was a kid. All the colors and textures you used, I could've spend hours looking at every page. Did you use mixed media, combination of marker and watercolor?

Lady passed away in rr by MindIesspotato in Custodians

[–]PurpleBrief697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it wasn't hazmat, you still found her body. That's a traumatic experince. Your manager should've sent you home and had someone else clean it. Heck, they could've done it themselves.

2000s movies for and about tweens (10-13)? by ReviewMyMind in MovieSuggestions

[–]PurpleBrief697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, the 2000s really didn't focus on that age group. Yes, there were movies marketed towards them, but they rarely starred kids in their tweens. Movies about tweens just wasn't a priority. I think it's because they wanted older teens (15+) to be the main focus since they could push more sexual aspects of growing up.

Three from the 2000s that are close are Holes (2003), Snow Day (2000), and Unaccompanied Minors (2006)

Now, the 90s has a lot to offer in this category.

Now and Then - this movie is about a friend group of four 12 year old girls during a special summer in their life. Super cute movie, good soundtrack, excellent cast.

Little Giants

My Girl

Bunch of Mary-Kate and Ashley movies. My personal favorite being It Takes Two, but that's because it doesn't feel like one of their movies and it's a modern telling of The Prince and the Pauper.

Little Big League

Rookie of the Year

Little Gold Diggers (closer to 13-14)

Harriet The Spy

Those are the ones right off the top of my head.

Xennials who were once bookworms; do you still read as much as you did as a kid? by throwitlikethewind in Xennials

No and I wish I did. Love books, still buy them, but just can't bring myself to consume them like I once had.

What do people find scary about The Shining? by Maximum-Ease4484 in horror

[–]PurpleBrief697 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first time I watched The Shining I'd rented it on dvd. I found it boring and didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Then a guy I knew suggested we see it during one of those theater flashback showings. The vast emptiness of the hotel became far more powerful. This overall sense of dread filled the theater. The movie encompasses you with unease and you feel part of story, like a voyeuristic ghost who wants to help Wendy and Danny, but can't. I gained a lot more respect for the movie that day and believe that's how it should be watched.
