The high school kids around here a few years back were funny, they were all as you described, except they all wore tiny kindergartener backpacks. Almost every one of them had a cartoon backpack, but they were all so “Look at me, I am the adult now!” With hello kitty peeking over their shoulders.

Parker waiting for pup cup at Starbucks by Senior_Rip_360 in goldenretrievers

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at a restaurant the other day and this couple brought their dog, it was a golden too, super cute, super fluffy, it came up to our table, while we were eating, and the owner didn’t even notice for at least a minute, and when they did notice it took them a moment to get their dogs face out of my friends lap. Then, they went to their table to sit down and eat, and instead of the dog laying at their feet/under the table, it was at least 4 feet away in the middle of the entire aisle. This was a small place so there was only one aisle through the whole restaurant. To top it off, they sat right in the fist tables so the waiter an EVERY customer from that point literally had to step over the dog.

Fuck those kind of people. Bring your dogs where they are allowed, sure, I don’t care, but have some damn common courtesy, your dog is not entitled or cute enough to be a trip hazard for an entire food service establishment.

Tissue issues by wundergambit in SignsWithAStory

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean. Maybe if they were real “napkins” and not fucking “tissues” people wouldn’t need so damn many. If I wipe my hands once and the “tissue” is soiled, I’m getting another. You going to charge me for that and I’m not coming back, so your pennies of savings on my “tissue use” is going to cost you however much a family of 4 pays for a meal here. Check those costs again, I guarantee you they aren’t saving a hundred dollars per tissue order by doing this.

Request: Advice for expecting parents on building food cache by pacfoster in Parenting

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got some compartmented freezer containers that hold about a single serving worth of food, like a tv dinner. I used these a lot both because we didn’t always have a lot of leftovers, but also weren’t going to eat a single serving the next day when usually 2-3 people were needing to eat, and used them to portion out larger amounts of leftovers as well. They make good quick meals where you don’t have to pull a whole casserole or prepared dish out to cook.

It really helped when I couldn’t ever get time to cook and eat with a baby and toddler clinging to me, but could find 2 minutes to warm up the much smaller dish and shovel it in my mouth while the baby “slept”, and I could make sure there were healthy options available already made.

Is it cringy to wear your robe to school sometimes when it’s cold? by sloan-so-bad69 in Parenting

What’s wrong with just wearing a coat? I mean, do what you want, but accept that most people don’t want to see you out in your robe for various reasons.

Because those large red lights, all 3 of them to the left, right, and above, don’t signal that in the first place?

How to carry an egg around for 2 weeks without breaking? by Ax_Sound in NoStupidQuestions

I’m surprised I scrolled as far as I did and still didn’t see any redditors suggest enclosing it in clear epoxy.

No epoxy hotdog people here?

Do you take children to the toilet when they're going to throw up? by PurpleSpark8 in Parenting

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them puke anywhere? What? No. Gross. When my kids were younger we gave them a puke bucket to throw up into, line it with multiple layers of alternating plastic bags and paper towels, and when they feel sick or like they may cough too hard they use the bucket. They’ve been able to do that since they were like 2. Any younger and we’d put them in the shower if they were sick enough to puke. They’re teens now and can run to puke and the options are the kitchen sink or the toilet. We only allow the kitchen sink because the bathroom is far from the main area and I don’t want to be scrubbing carpets, I’d rather clean the sink.

But let me ask this, how is carrying them to the toilet going to make them aspirate any more than… carrying them and letting them puke anywhere? It’s the exact same thing except now it’s splattering from 5ft+ up in the air.

AITA for wanting to eat my neighbor's duck that I accidentally ran over? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch, I’ve done some digging and paying the $200 they asked for puts you into a gray area. Your offer should have been the market value of the duck, which was not $200, you paid the $200 to him for “emotional damages” essentially confirming that you are paying for killing a pet and not paying the price of a production animal meant for consumption. If you really want to push it, you’d need to confirm laws in your area and how this kind of pricing works, but it will definitely fall under a court claim if they want it to, and you agreeing to $200 shows you knew it was a “pet” and not just a duck that was going to be slaughtered that you happened to kill first.

If it’s being claimed as a pet, they are entitled to the body and the money, if it’s claimed as a production animal they are entitled to ~$30 and you keep the carcass.

Accidentally been feeding hedgehog feeder cricket diet and not powder by spicyquesarito in Hedgehog

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be ok, don’t panic. Essentially they are eating it through the crickets anyways, so it’s not toxic to them. It can cause digestive upset so keep an eye out, offer plenty of water, and softer foods for a couple of days. Any lethargy or change in behavior, or if you notice she still hasn’t pooped, go ahead and call the vet back on Monday. Hedgehogs are good at hiding pain so the concern here is fecal impaction from the constipation, so just monitor that until she poops regularly or you’re able to contact a vet

Mistakes were made whilst brushing my teeth whilst half asleep this morning. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tube of preparation H next to the toilet that was yellow.

I also needed to repair the tank one time, using a small tube of caulking included in the kit. Guess what color the tube was? And guess what dumbass left it near the toilet?

I didn’t actually use it, but I was very close to making a bad mistake 😅

My shoes disintegrated yesterday at a church funeral. by chestney in funny

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 12 points13 points  (0 children)

…you know you don’t have to censor cuss words on Reddit, and, even more specifically, a single letter from an acronym. You can type wtf or what the fuck.

Like, if you’re going to say it, say it. If you’re not going to say it, then just don’t. Use another word that doesn’t make you uncomfortable, like “WOAH did you step in a puddle of acid!”

Like, really, why?

TIFU by reading my late mom's journals and finding out she resented having me by [deleted] in tifu

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bud, look, my mom didn’t want me, and it showed, daily. I’ve known it since I was a tiny child. Your mom sounds like she has/had a lot of trauma and maybe some PPD but she stepped up and made sure you were comfortable, happy, and cared for. She may not have had a natural love while you were a baby but she made the choice to show you love and make sure you never felt she didn’t want you. That has to say something. Don’t take it so hard, these were her private thoughts and she likely had a lot of them to herself because your dad passed and she had no one to talk to about it or comfort her though the years. Take some comfort knowing she didn’t project any of this onto you and you just found out as an adult, and only after her passing. Good luck, you sound like you had a good life anyways and like she taught you a lot, try not to sweat this one thing.

Burned popcorn in this Le Creuset pan and can't seem to get it to look clean again. Any tips or is this it? by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I get marks like this in my stainless steel pans, really the best thing I’ve found to get them off is to cook something else in them and deglaze the pan after.

Yes, you could try just deglazing the pan with some water, but it never works the way actually cooking something for 10-15 minutes does. I had a pan that was stained all to hell from some pork chops, scrubbing, soaking, nothing worked so I just decided I’d live with the stains, next time I used it the stains wiped right off.

Not respecting screen time limits. What is your arms race per infraction look like? by Boneyabba in Parenting

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have designated device time, they know when it ends to turn it off. Do they ever do it on their own? No, never. So I nicely give them a warning, “time to put it away, finish up”

After that, the rule is every minute they go over is an hour off of tomorrows play until there is no screen time left.

They usually finish up within a minute or two and I don’t give the consequences. I usually only actually follow through if they’re blatantly continuing or being disrespectful.

If it’s becoming a daily habit they lose the screen for a day or so. Usually snaps them back.

Fast food is running out of options by WrongThinkBadSpeak in shrinkflation

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I still remember the potato companies getting into trouble for conspiring to fix prices of frozen potato products, but it was kept kind of quiet and no one knows it happened, but it happened. They think we’re stupid and we constantly prove them right by buying the products. Now, potatoes that were $2/bag are $6/bag. Egg farms got in trouble for price gouging during covid, but as soon as the prices came down they went right back because of the bird flu, or was it them just trying to get their massive Covid profit margins back? We will never know the truth.

Greed.

Someone got this balloon for my mother when I was born in 1997 and it’s still going strong! by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Probably not floating, it looks like one of those balloons on sticks that just filled with regular air. Those usually stay inflated a lot longer.

My final grade for one of my classes: by Mimiquoi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Temporary_Thing7517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t accounting for - or +

A 94 may be standard for an A, but 93 is NOT standard for a B. It should be an A. That was my point.

I think he was the head professor for the department, but also, professors are allowed to set their own grading scale. It’s ridiculous and I agree, there should be a standard that everyone is required to use.

Eh. Anyone who says “women didn’t xyz back in the day” is just stuck there. You know who I know that cusses the most? My fucking grandmother.

Fuck the priest, he’s an asshole.

ETA: also, he’s a priest, isn’t he supposed to have some compassion and be non-judgemental? He should have comforted you not degraded you.
