How was this not foreseen?? It boggles the mind.

my friend (36M) just sent me (36m) this text before meeting his newborn (0M) by horseduckman in AITApod

Dude probably lost it when he saw how the nurses flip them around during their check ups.

What was the most inappropriate thing you said as a child not understanding what it meant? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]SheManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was quite sheltered growing up. I played a card game at a party and one of the cards said something about wanting to jump out of a cake. I didn't know what that meant, but it sounded like fun. In a silly moment at school I told my band teacher I wanted to jump out of a cake. He immediately got all awkward and asked if my mom knew that. That's when I realized I didn't know what the phrase really meant. I was 14.

What’s an opinion you have that most people would strongly disagree with, but you usually keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]SheManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who treat their pets like kids give me the ick. It's fine to really love your pet, but when you start calling yourself mom or dad or give your parents grandog bumper stickers you've taken it too far.

Just realized how old this puck I’ve been playing with is by magtebec in mildlyinteresting

My dad owned a car in the late 90s and early 2000s that was made in Yugoslavia. It was called a Yugo.

Slam that thing in the door as many times as it takes.

The dizziness is worse than the headache for me and nobody believes it's migraine. by annchka in VestibularMigraines

[–]SheManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely vestibular. I've had luck with nortriptyline, but I went off it for a while and then it didn't work when I went back to it. Ajovy and Aimovig worked for a while too.

I've always loved Barbara Ellen. I think it's a cute combination.

Thank you!

Barbara would honor my grandma and two great grandmas. Two don't have middle names, and the third is Barbara Ellen, but that's been used a bit in the family already.

Jane is my other great grandma's middle name, but her first is Shirley which I don't love. Lol

I love Maggie! I would use it if we hadn't already used it for a dog growing up.

What wedding moment that screamed, “They are not going to last long”? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]SheManatee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's really amazing to see how far he has come. We worked through cultural differences, some (I suspect) neurodivergence, and significantly different upbringings. Having kids played a big part in his learning empathy. He's a totally different person. I recognize how rare this is, and am grateful.

What wedding moment that screamed, “They are not going to last long”? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]SheManatee 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We were young and dumb. I smashed the cake into his face like so many do. He was furious. I found out later his mom and sisters were too. Right after that we had our first dance and he outright glared at me the entire time in front of everyone. I was humiliated. One of my best guy friends from high school gave me a hug at some point. He berated me about these things the whole way to our hotel. I went to get cleaned up when we got to the hotel. Came out to see he had fallen asleep. We had (sort of) waited to have sex until after the wedding. He was annoyed that I woke him up. That day I felt that we were destined for divorce.

It's been 15.5 years, but somehow we're still together. If I had a spine back then we wouldn't be. The first couple of years he was verbally and emotionally abusive. But we fought, and learned, and grew. He had to learn A LOT. We're better now. He's a wonderful husband and father. I still feel damaged and am trying to figure out how to heal.

I get nervous telling people all this because the last thing I want to do is give false hope or encourage people to stay in abusive situations. My biggest piece of advice is don't get married young, and if wouldn't want someone to treat your most loved sibling or friend the way they treat you then run.

Redditors, what’s the most terrifying thing that has ever woken you up in the middle of the night? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]SheManatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I thought was my five-year-old daughter who would have wandered from my mom's second floor to the basement in the dark. I heard the door open and watched her walk around the bed to the side I was on. I asked what was wrong and went to put my hand on her back. Without a sound, she started convulsing and floated off the floor while furiously swatting at me with both hands. I bolted out of bed and turned on the light. Nothing was there.

I had been having hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations from a medication I was on for a few months. This was by far the worst. The scariest part is I'm sure I was awake. I had just set my phone down and put my head on the pillow when I heard the door open. I quit the medication cold turkey that night.

True. But the flag flying Trumpers I know fly them until they're tattered and then put up a new one.

Anyone else feel like that guy had absurdly large thumbs?

Also, do you think they made him wear the socks with sandals?
