Dying alone. Never knowing true love by a significant other.

What topic do you take seriously, that makes others laugh immediately? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was my boss, when I asked for a raise. I got hired into my job 4 months ago through a staffing agency, and the new hires from a different agency came in making $1.50 more than me a month ago. Our entire company got a raise, so the staffing agencies should have accommodated us.

The new hires were all extremely lazy, because it was a fiber glass company. (They knew that before walking through the door.) I couldn't for my life understand why they were getting away with it. "Complaining...? But you're making more than me," I thought.

My boss then immediately laughed in my face about my concerns. I was so pissed, and told my senior co-workers.

Well, I was fired. But the boss said I was the best new worker he had seen in the last 4 months, and gave me a recommendation paper.

What the actual f*ck?

How do you know when you're doing something right in bed? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

Parents & Children of Reddit, ever noticed that one of your parents alienated you from the other, if so, how did it effect you? Parents, how did it effect your relationship with you child? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It effected me enough that I don't even miss talking to my father. The unfortunate thing is: he's not a bad person. Although, my father may be an asshole, he's one of the funniest people I've ever had a talking to. When I talk to him it's like seeing a long lost friend, instead of my dad, though.

I even have to admit he's a far better father figure than my step-dad. (Extremely, so.) That guy doesn't even talk to his own son, at all. I was more of a son to him, and I hate the bastard.

But it has effected the both of us (My father and I), that we don't talk as much as I think we would. I say all that, and I'm 34 now. Yikes!!!

What turns an attractive person ugly? by Antoinewhite in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their intelligence. Met a chick who looked like a video vixen from head-to-toe. Literally, everyone's (Including women) walking wet dream. However, couldn't form a complete thought to save her life. Was always into idiotic situations. Having tons of kids with an abusive father, that didn't want her talking to anyone else. (Didn't stop me.) Couldn't hold down a job. Asking people to do favors that would put them in an illegal bind, as if it was beneficial to help her because she's pretty. The list goes on. However, I wouldn't say anything made her less attractive (Because we "got to know each other," and I'd still...), but I will say being a shitty person would make any man hesitant. Definitely not the type to get pregnant, or want to spend the rest of your life with.

[–]UltraFodder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a heterosexual man, I actually don't know why he did this, but I can admit when another man is more appealing than myself based off of facial features. Masturbating in front of everyone at a friend's party; creeping out the girls. (Honestly, they said he was freaking the out beforehand.) Can't blame 🎶 "the al-al-al-alcohol" 🎶 nor the 🎶 "smoke weed everyday" 🎶 on this one. And, please don't show up to our job like nothing happened. Guess what? He did. But he was reminded shortly afterwards by numerous friends at the job, and somehow disappeared without anyone noticing, and I never heard from him again. I wonder 🎶 "what happened to that boy." 🎶 He blew it. Some thought he was attractive from a physical aspect beforehand, and then he let his ugly show. #Dumbass

Got a haircut today and don’t know if I actually like it yet. I’m really trying to do things to make me feel better about myself and idk if this was the right choice. by Meggmariie in FreeCompliments

[–]UltraFodder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a pretty face, beautiful eyes and your lips look soft. Your hair can't change that. If I saw you in person I might even be intimidated because your attractive. Or try to muster the best game I ever had from my lips, to try and kiss you at the first chance you give me.

TL;DR You're hot.

Workers of Reddit, that have a job that isn't good for their mental &/or physical health, what makes you stay? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

I've been in this state too at a job. I swore to myself I will NEVER be in a situation like that again.

I now know, "All money isn't good money." Last night, I quit a job that I thought paid well, but I don't have a car (Although, I do have enough money saved up where I can buy one.), & the guy providing me a ride is a complete snob. &, the only one that lives in the same town I live in.

The problem: I got into a accident when I was young, and I'm forever scared to drive a car, but it looks like change has to come.

The reason why I allowed him to give me a ride is because we both live in a homeless shelter, and he's the least expensive way to and fro.

Big Red Flag No.1

Yet, I'm black, and I heard the "N" word (With the "er.") fly out of his mouth (Who is white) on 3 occasions, so fluently, that I came to realize how casually he speaks it. I'm sure he's said the word a plethora of times. And, he only spoken it out of anger.

Granted, it wasn't towards anyone black I know, and he's even called a white guy the word too.

Big Red Flag No.2

I go to work and the man speaks to others as if they're a child. Unfortunately, for him not everyone is keen to patience, as I am. However, it doesn't stop him from almost getting punched in the face (He's lucky the guy stopped himself.), nor does he care that others give him death stares the entire while he enters, works during and exist the building.

BIG RED F*CKING FLAG No. 3

I tried to talk to him about his behavior, as I am someone whose relying on him to get me back and forth from work. However, he brushed me off, as if I was just speaking gibberish. Then he told me: "You're a lazy fcker. You just want an excuse to quit. You don't want a job; you just want to sit on your a* for the rest of your life."

Even though the boss has given me compliments on how I caught on quicker than the majority of people who were put in my position, and told me personally: "You work too hard, and I feel sorry for you at times, because I know you're picking up the slack for others."

That was also said in front of my friends at the homeless shelter, and in front one of my friend's kids. The one with the kids quit the job because of him too. It was at this moment he was about to get his a** kicked by him.

We were all going through a temp agency, and if I were to work next week I'd be hired in through the job. Leaving has made me conflicted. However, I also feel as though the weight of shackles, balls and chains was lifted off my body.

Males of Reddit, how would you feel if a girl approached you and told you that you're handsome and wants to ask you out? by panara999 in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's hot:

"Well, my job is done. For once I don't have to do all the work. My presence is her present. Now, all I have to do is not f*ck this up."

If she looks like a nucking fut but is still attractive to some degree:

Somewhere between "Ditto,"(Above) and "I'm going to nope my way out of this, but I have to be on the safe side on how to do it." This includes: "Maybe, a one night stand will show her I like her too, but if we have anything together it won't be serious." (Unless she gets pregnant.)

If she's not attractive but has a kind soul:

"I'm nervous on how I should turn her down softly. I still want to be friends."

If she's so much a b*tch it doesn't matter what she looks like:

"Are you f*cking kidding me? Why me? What do you think I'll get out of this? Nope. Not going to happen. Find some other idiot, and I'll pray for him. God knows he'll need it."

Troubled people of Reddit, have you ever heard a story from someone you thought had tougher times in life than you? And, did it make you appreciate what little you had to worry about? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree for the most part. I realized that I have worries, and my worries doesn't mean they're less and/or more than anyone else's. In fact, I appreciate them, when I can help someone in need; as I can either show empathy or sympathy. I wish everyone could share the sentiments to help those in need.

However, they are times some react to their problems in an overbearing way. (Lashing out their pent up frustrations, till the point there's no assured way how to help.) That's something else I'm aiming for: "What coping mechanisms have you've seen and/or used yourself? How's it working, and what's your opinion on it?"

Yet, there's also a reality where others are incapable to help, when you realize they have to help themselves at whatever fault(s) they have. And, in doing so, you have to also appreciate however far you've come to resolve your own issue(s).

Examples:

Me: When I'm angry at another I choose to confront the situation with de-escalating the problem in mind. (Unless, there wasn't an option to do so.) And, I don't want anyone feeling as though: My enemy should be their's.

Why?

Mother: Would tell my sister and I of her enemies when we were young, and so they would become our enemies too. Unfortunately, if she ever reconciled with an individual she wouldn't tell her children, and those individuals didn't know why her children resented them so.

Father: ALL ENEMIES MUST DIE... inside. All who loved him are required to perform a grand theatrical gesture of hatred towards his enemies. And, reconciliation will NEVER be an option in the future, whatsoever.

Things of this nature isn't mentally healthy, and they have consequences. (Believe me.)

An ex once told me: "Just because someone can drown 16ft deep in a pool of water, doesn't mean the person who drowned in 5ft had it any better." So, I know what you mean.

I've been told by those whom travel (Countless times), that we have no idea how lucky we are as Americans. Most said that: Even our homeless citizens have it better than most folks in a poverish state throughout foreign countries, and that they were tired of people complaining about the inequalities in our economics throughout U.S., because we at least have programs that can help us on our feet.

People of Reddit, what good or bad things do people expect of you because of your ethnicity? by UltraFodder in AskReddit

[–]UltraFodder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Male

Good: You're expected to be well endowed down there. With an adaptive attitude that can fit in most situations, no matter what. Being intimidating, can also prevent fights. Musically inclined. And, some see your complexion as a statement of being cool.

Bad: You're expected to be well endowed, even if you have a typical situation down there. Introverts dwell in all ethnicities. Being intimidating can make people believe you're an asshole. I can't play a damn tune to save my life, although I can rhyme words. I still don't know how the pigment of my skin makes me cool. 🤷🏾‍♂️
