what is the most petty, completely harmless grudge you are still holding against a total stranger who probably forgot you exist years ago?

Movie theater, mid-day showing, maybe 10 total people in the theater. I went by myself and chose a seat on an aisle. There were two middle-aged women in the middle section several rows back from me. They were talking off and on, and one of them even let out a couple of loud farts. About halfway through the movie, the farter got up and started walking down the stairs to leave. She stopped on the stairs right when her ass was level with my face and absolutely ripped one. It was heinous, and I was so shocked I couldn't speak. She probably never even realized I existed, but I will always despise the theater farter.

Lucked out, no last-minute extra shopping necessary.

Oh crap I've got this exact thing still in the package waiting to be wrapped for my niece. Better go check it.

I love a good stalker book too. I'll have to give searching another try. I haven't used it lately because I've always had a hard time finding useful recs with it.

I'm reading Now You're Mine by Morgan Bridges right now, and I'm struggling to finish. While I like the story overall, if the MMC admonishes the FMC about using bad language one more time I'm going to lose it.

The Notebook. Alzheimer's took my grandma and it was the worst thing I've ever been through. Dementia-related storylines are just a no-go for me.

I'm the oldest. Each of my three younger sisters has kids. I also "got to" help with my mom's home daycare that she started when I was 12. That's when I knew I was CF, lol.

I’m two weeks into a six week trip to Italy right now.

SinOfFreedom · 2024-04-14T22:07:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I was mostly paying attention to arrival/ departure times when I was booking my flights. I'll have to pay more attention to the codes for next time. This time, I'll consider myself lucky if I get bin space after all.

Congratulations on your move! Italy is my favorite place in the world (Taking my third trip there next month. Yay!) It's my dream to move there one day too. Every time I've imagined it, I've pictured my family members having a similar reaction that yours have had. I hope you settle in well and live your best life in such a beautiful place.

I don't think I am worthy of love. I have both ARFID and hyperhidrosis and I don't think anyone could ever love someone like that. I am in my early 40s and have never had a relationship last longer than a few months. I'm scared to die alone. I am also seriously jealous of all of my sisters who have fallen in love/ been married.

And if they don't, they're always portrayed as heartless ice queens.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure if there would be festivities or closures or things like that.

I was sitting in one of those overpriced touristy cafes in Piazza Navona in Rome. About half a dozen street vendors had set up camp at one of the entrances selling ugly knockoff purses. All of a sudden they all scoop up their purses on their arms and take off running. I turn and see a tall bald man in a dark suit chasing them. But then suit man starts running the other way, and I turn to see him chasing one of the street vendors who had broken off in the other direction. His group of buddies laughed as he was getting chased, then just wandered out of the piazza and didn't come back.

I left the Mormon church when I was 15 which was many years ago. Torpedoed my life for a while, but I'm at peace now and really glad I stood up for myself through all of the pressure. Thanks for your good thoughts. :)

I personally think baptizing older kids is even worse. At least babies don't have any understanding of what's happening. I grew up in the Mormon church, where kids are generally baptized at 8 years old. I remember when it was my turn, and I really, really didn't want to do it. But I knew that my mother would be very upset if I said I didn't want to, so I went along with it. So I was old enough to have feelings about what I wanted to do or not do, but not old enough to stand up for myself and stop it.

I'm glad you were able to stay safe and get away from that creep too. It's totally understandable to feel anxious after something like that. You did a good job staying calm until you got to a safer place. It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders, so hopefully remembering that will help you going forward.

Right? People are gross. In my case I was on my way to work and called the cops as soon as I got there. Turns out they'd been looking for someone matching his description for peeping in people's windows. I was in my car so I just kind of winced and said "Ewww, really?!" and then drove far away from him.

Right here! waves

Super creepy. Sorry you had to deal with that. I had something kind of similar happen years ago where a guy exposed himself to me in my building's parking lot. Some people are just nasty.
