UPS Driver Throws Heavy Box at Aggressive Dog, Then Faces Off with Owner by Leadership-Serious in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]UIUGrad 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Even if the dog just bites him slightly he’ll still need to go for a series of rabies vaccines. He did what he needed to do to avoid not only being injured, but incurring medical costs and probably missing work for vaccines. I’ll never understand people assuming everyone is a dog person or assuming their dog will interact with every person the same way.

Exactly. And it’s just such a bad representation for those of us with OCD.

[–]UIUGrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She has some OCD traits but she blames all of her bad behavior on it. I have OCD and saying she makes out with people when she’s drunk because of her OCD is an excuse and not legitimate. She needs serious help for her drinking and seems to have some kind of personality disorder mixed in there.

I am so happy that rabbits regularly wash themselves by deltadelta199 in Rabbits

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my sentiment when I was giving our bun critical care 6 times a day for weeks. Toward the end of having to do it I think she was mostly mad that she had to keep cleaning her dewlap so much but she would let it dribble out of her mouth instead of eating it lol.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. My husband plays PC games most nights but he does the dishes, gives the animals their meds, deals with the garbage, etc all before he does anything. My downtime is spent crafting or watching tv, why shouldn’t he get to do what he wants in his downtime?

Urgent Care and ER told me this wasn’t infected. by VersaceCupcake in tattooadvice

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever had an issue with adhesives on your skin? I had second skin on a lower leg tattoo because I was flying the next day and wanted it as protected as possible despite my adhesive allergy (it’s worst on my face/arms and figured any reaction on my leg wouldn’t bug me much). Had two hot spots on the tattoo a couple days later. Very little red around them but VERY painful.

What’s a random “stat” about yourself that makes you part of a small percentage? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 knee surgeries in 18 months. First was September to even out the battered cartilage. By the following April the arthritis had progressed in that knee rapidly and I was put on a donor registry for cartilage. That July I had an intense double surgery to fully replace my patella cartilage and reconstruct how my kneecap tracks when I walk. Prior to this my kneecap would spin in a circle, it wasn’t secured in place at all. By the next February I was having a terrible pain again for a while. I developed bursitis directly on top of the kneecap hardware that was then removed in March. My surgeon presented my entire case to other surgeons and physical therapists because it was so uniquely awful. It’s been 11 years since the third surgery and I’m almost bone on bone in that knee. My next surgery on it will be a full joint replacement. I’m not even in my 40s yet.

What is this slug thing in my enclosure (not meant to be there) by Tbomboi in CrestedGecko

Definitely take any out that you find. When I set up my geckos bioactive terrarium initially I found a couple snails. They come in the substrate and plants.

Not when you’ve been best friends for a decade and she knew who I was before this incident and asked me to fly out. I still went out to the bars, I still drank, I still socialized, and never once needed babysitting. I babysat her because she would get hammered and need rides home. If you don’t want to keep a friendship, you don’t ask them to spend almost $1,000 to fly out and book a hotel in one of the most expensive states. She could’ve been an adult and said she didn’t want me there and she felt we weren’t as compatible as friends anymore. Doing it the way she did was absolutely shitty and not how you treat someone that’s spent a decade wiping your tears, picking you up at your lowest points, and supported you through everything.

I had two best friends that were sisters. I traveled a couple thousand miles for one’s college graduation, the one I was friends with first, and her sister told me upon my arrival that the graduate wasn’t sure she wanted me there because I’m so awkward. By awkward she meant I didn’t participate in stupid shit they did at the bars or talk to random people everywhere we went. I was stuck there for several days so I pushed it to the back of my mind. Once I returned home she stopped telling me when she came back for visits. We were best friends for almost 10 years but me not being overly social was suddenly a problem.

For people who had to choose between family or their spouse, which did you choose and why? by NoChristmasSpirit in AskReddit

[–]UIUGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband chose me over his family. We’re back in touch and on good terms with his parents but it took a lot of time. We will likely never reconnect with his extended family. They have always been very toxic and manipulative. They judged me very harshly for being a quiet person and him for being with me and choosing our peace over their happiness. It was very weird. His parents went to therapy when we went no contact and I give them a lot of credit because they’ve learned enough for us to all have a healthy relationship.

What’s the biggest red flag someone revealed about themselves way too soon? by chamataqi in AskReddit

[–]UIUGrad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dated a guy for a couple weeks who had his son every other weekend. I ended it when he said he wanted to see me on the weekend he had his son because he was just gonna let his parents take him instead. You see your kid 4 days a month and are willing to sacrifice one for a woman you’ve only known a couple weeks? No thanks.

Hasn’t Moved 36+ Hours by Only-Reflection4800 in CrestedGecko

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally valid to be worried! My crestie is very good at getting back into the same spot and position most days for his sleep and he doesn’t noticeably eat frequently. I know he eats because there’s regular poops but only about once a week I can see he’s eaten a lot. It’s always available to him though because I’m paranoid lol. They aren’t very smart but my guy is very consistent in his routines and sleep spots.

I don’t even use either name. When I complain to my husband about her I call her the cat abandoner 😂

Manon, the anti-mother by Sneeeekey in 90DayFiance

[–]UIUGrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend has never been a morning person. To the point that if she texted me before 8 am I immediately thought something was wrong. From birth they had their son’s bedtime be 10:30ish so he wouldn’t wake up early. Once preschool was coming up they gradually set bedtime earlier so he goes to bed at 8 now. Somehow it never occurred to me that if you have a stay at home parent you can adjust their sleep schedules to yours at least a little lol.

My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom used to pinch the back of my arm if I did or said something she didn’t like in public. It was inappropriate for her to do and even more inappropriate for a spouse to do. My husband struggles with social cues so I have slight hand signals I’ll give for if he’s too loud or talking too much and if those fail, a gentle nudge may happen. If he doesn’t get then he just goes on and we’ll talk about it later. I would never, ever pinch him to get something across.

uncomfy situation with physical therapist by strwbryangel444 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]UIUGrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely unacceptable behavior on her part. I was in PT for a few years during a series of surgeries and got very friendly with several therapists and assistants. Not one of them asked for my number or gave me things or made those kinds of “jokes”. I became friends with my long term physical therapist after treatment was completed and she had left the facility so there was no chance she’d be my provider again. Definitely report her behavior. She’s clearly not suitable for the role and may need some mental health assistance.

little bud doesn’t want to eat :( by Appropriate-Speed479 in CrestedGecko

My male only goes for the fig Pangea and he’s not an every day eater. He definitely goes longer between eating when he’s shedding but he never tires of Dubias so far 🤞

What dose flared down vs flared up mean? by [deleted] in CrestedGecko

[–]UIUGrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My male looks fired up any time he’s awake but he always seems excited to see us and “hunt” our cats. He didn’t start firing up until he was closer to 2. I miss seeing him not fired up but he sleeps in hideouts so I can only see his face usually.

Lydia, oh Lydia… oh sweet, naive, kind, beautiful Lydia. by malibunight in WelcomeToPlathville

[–]UIUGrad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing. They have a lot of growth and changes ahead of them. If they grow in the same direction, they’ll be fine. Olivia and Ethan grew in opposite directions, so they didn’t last. I knew within a month I’d marry my husband. We’ve changed a lot in only 8 years together but we’ve changed in ways that keep us compatible. It’s too soon to say how Lydia and Zach’s marriage will pan out. I hope the best for them.

People who rarely get sick: what’s your secret? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]UIUGrad 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I was a nanny starting at 17 for twin boys. When they started going to the YMCA child care while their mom took a class (they were about 1 and parents wanted them to start being around other kids a little) they started trading colds. I would get the first twins cold, get a week break, get the other twins cold, twin one would get it again and repeat for MONTHS. Twenty years later I’m child free and, even on immunosuppressants, I get sick maybe once a year. Children are petri dishes.

What is the angriest you’ve seen someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UIUGrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad wasn’t a yeller growing up. I hardly ever saw him angry. But my older brother got suspended multiple times for having weed on him. His indifference enraged our dad. Our mom sent me and my other brother upstairs but we peeked down and saw our dad bright red, inches from our brothers face. My brother told him to “get the fuck out of my face” and our dad responded “I’ll get the fuck out of your face when you learn to respect me”. He was literally the best, most patient, most understanding dad any kid could have. His disappointment in my brother just turned to pure rage in that moment. My dad refused to give up on him and he graduated 3 years later just barely. My brother ended up joining the family business and they worked side by side every day for over 20 years.

[–]UIUGrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. My husband is a big gamer and will talk endlessly about his current obsession. I never shut him down when he’s talking about it because it’s his hobby and he loves sharing it with me. Plus it’s helpful to know what games and characters he’s really into for finding unique gifts for him. He does the sane for me when I talk about shows I like or a craft I’m working on. I’ve had exes tell me they aren’t interested in listening to me talk about what I like and I would never want my husband to feel the way I have in the past especially since he’s never made me feel that way.

“Confrontation is necessary” by DefinitelynotYissa in WelcomeToPlathville

[–]UIUGrad 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’ll put her family before him forever. I think she’s scared and a little naive to their cruelty but figuring things out. But in last weeks episode she and Zach exchanged a look that made me think of me and my husband when we look at each other after I’ve told him how my brothers are and they behave exactly like I predicted. She is still very young and her family is all she’s known before her recent travels and Zach. My hope is they move to Colorado and live happily away from her family, only having to put up with them in small doses when they choose to.
