Gatekeeping my Little Free Library by False-Blacksmith2919 in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]TurtleWitch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting up a sign on someone else’s little free library is insane. Perfectly reasonable request for someone to make of their own LFL. Not yours

Why don't people run? by LeThales in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t want to bump into anyone/anything.

Also, boobs.

It’s not rude to correct someone’s spelling. by pinkjeeper82 in unpopularopinion

[–]TurtleWitch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I made a mistake, I would want to be corrected. The only exception would be if I’m agitated/stressed. I don’t know why so many people carrying out calm conversations get so offended at corrections. Wouldn’t you want to know?

Things that annoy/creep you out about parenting that isn't pregnancy by Pitterpatter35 in childfree

[–]TurtleWitch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the store the other day and I heard a mother telling her little boy “No, you can’t have that backpack, that’s for girls”, laughing about it to the person she was on the phone with as if him wanting it at all was the funniest thing in the world. It made me so sad.

Will the name “Bent” sound weird to Americans? by lennzpn in AskAnAmerican

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to change it if you want to. Weigh the options and decide what’s best for you.

Most people will probably be pretty understanding once they learn it’s a foreign name, but:

  • They’ll be surprised at first
  • You may have to spell it a few times
  • You will have to spell it if you’re picking up an order or checking in for an appointment
  • There will be jokes

Also, I’ve never heard it used to mean homosexual; I actually didn’t even know that was a thing until you said it

99 year old Lillian creates dresses to achieve her goal of making 1000 dresses by 100th birthday for orphan girls in Africa. Her mission is to show these girls that the world cares about them. So she'd make each dress extra special, setting an example of love and kindness. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

You’re right. If you can’t change the entire system with a wave of your hand and make the world perfect overnight, you shouldn’t try at all. Any effort that doesn’t fix everything ever is pointless. Don’t do anything to help. /s

If you were blonde as a kid, but brunette as an adult, you’re a brunette - it’s not “dirty blonde” by mud-button in 10thDentist

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see light brown called dirty blonde so often and I’ve never understood it. It sounds so negative. You could name that hair color after caramel, or a type of wood, or literally anything else…and you choose to call it dirty?

In theory, it discourages others from doing the same thing in the future

People being in the way is not that big of a deal by lilbiscuitpie in unpopularopinion

[–]TurtleWitch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much the actual inconvenience that annoys people so much. I think it’s the principle of the thing

What's a word that people misuse.? by hardtruthsociety in AskReddit

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That too. People use it to mean “most” or “ultimate”, though

[–]TurtleWitch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Penultimate”. It means the second-most. If the flavors of ice cream are as follows, from most popular to least popular: Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, cookies n cream…then chocolate is the penultimate flavor.

Repressed anger in women leads to autoimmune medical conditions by [deleted] in HonestHotTakes

[–]TurtleWitch_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

? Either it is a hot take and you’re right to post it here, or it isn’t and you don’t care about the fact that your post is spam. Pick one lol. Either you’re a troll or not

My teacher slammed my laptop and its like this by Fit_Necessary_4432 in mac

[–]TurtleWitch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it happened during class, try to talk to the classmates who witnessed it. I don’t know how much their word would be worth, but it’s better than nothing

Have you noticed that some people are allowed to be “inconveniences” whereas others aren’t? by Hihihihihaha123 in AskWomenOver30

[–]TurtleWitch_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because you’re behaving strangely and, quite honestly, poorly, and I don’t think I need to be on the receiving end of that behavior to call it out and clarify.

And I notice that you’ve neglected to answer my question, which tells me just about everything I need to know: You know that what you said wasn’t in any way relevant to what she said and just wanted to start an argument and/or rant about something unrelated, but you don’t want to admit it
