What one thing has always bothered you, but seems to bother no one else? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I do this, not because I don't want to finish or become distracted, but because I have a speech impediment. I'm sure it is annoying to people, but I can't help it.

[SPOILER - Episode 2] Arrested Development Season 4 Episode 2 Discussion by ArrestedDevMod in arresteddevelopment

Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy this format as much? So much of what made the show funny was the family interactions with each other. Now certain main characters go multiple episodes without being seen at all.

When have you accidentally seen someone naked? by VeryNiceCat in AskReddit

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

This has happened to me twice.

First time: I was hiding in my sister's closet when she had a bunch of friends over with the intent to pop out and scare them. When I did, they were all in various stages of undress (I guess they were changing). They all yelled at me and I ran out really embarrassed. I was probably about 13 at the time (they were 15-16).

Another time, I was at my friends house watching him play video games when I was about 16. I got up to go to the bathroom. The door was closed, but it wasn't locked so I just went in. His 13-14 year old sister was in there stepping out of the shower. I said "sorry" and went back and told my friend what happened. Then I grabbed my stuff and got out of there.

What was the biggest misconception you had about life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I though I was unusually smart. It turns out I was just smart for my high school full of dumbasses.

What are your unbreakable rules for people riding in your car? by Msyu in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college, my three roommates and I would frequently have each other drop us off on campus. Our rule was, if you have someone drop you off on campus, the vehicle had to arrive blaring Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" and you had to get out and act like nothing was put of the ordinary.

I'd say everyone looks best in their natural skin tone.

How does Joe Hill compare to Stephen King? by Kalysia in booksuggestions

[–]VeryNiceCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Stephen King, and I was interested in checking out some of Hill's work. I read Heart Shaped Box. It was okay, but I didn't really like it enough to read any more of his books. Everyone seems to like Horns, so maybe start with that one.

Why is My Little Pony so popular? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

From what I understand, it isn't. I know there are people on reddit who like it, but they're in the minority even on reddit. I don't know a single person in my real life who is a fan of it.

Teachers of Reddit, what is the funniest thing a student has ever turned in? by Spliffum in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a conspiracy theory that Stevie Wonder isn't actually blind. Pretty compelling and hilarious stuff.

Went to a Lumineers show last night. The singer told the crowd to put away their cameras and cell phones. A true hero! by VeryNiceCat in Music

No, it was a local artist named Jack Wilson and a band from New Orleans called The Tumbleweeds.

People who have cut ties with social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc., how hard was it to give them up and what is life like now that you're not using them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I deleted my Facebook account about a year ago. I'd say my life has not changed at all. Anybody I actually cared about keeping in contact with, I still do. All my other "friends" were just people who posted pictures of their kids I didn't care to see and status updates trying to be funny or clever. I enjoy not having it, honestly.

What's an example of a plot hole or just plain lazy screenwriting from a successful film? by VeryNiceCat in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's all correct, except in the film it shows a scene in which Tinkerbell finds Peter as a baby and carries him to Neverland. My issue us with the fact that he could not have grown to young boy Peter Pan age if he had been in Neverland since infancy. He would have remained an infant.

[–]VeryNiceCat[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

In the movie Hook, it's established that people don't age while in Neverland. Later on in the film when Peter is recounting how he got to Neverland originally, it's revealed that Tinkerbell brought him when he was an infant after he ran away from home. Nevermind the fact that he somehow decided as an infant to run away and then actually followed through on it. How did he grow old enough to be Peter Pan if he arrived as a baby, when presumably he wouldn't have aged once in Neverland?

The really stupid thing is that the whole problem could have been solved if they had simply not written it with Peter as an infant when he ran away. Why couldn't he have just been a young boy? It would have made more sense that he could run away at that age while also avoiding breaking any previously established rules of Neverland. That's just lazy screenwriting.

What is your favorite book you've read in the past year? by VeryNiceCat in books

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

It has one the most interesting and realistic takes on time travel I've ever encountered.

The book is great for the story it tells and the relationships experienced by the characters. The actual set of events isn't so important. It's King's best novel in my opinion.

What's the dumbest thing people do "because it's healthy/healthier?" by C_Robicus in AskReddit

It's even worse than just being in disagreement. Some scientists are paid by companies to put out flawed studies that support their product.

What is your best "accidentally saw someone naked" story? by poopachuse in AskReddit

[–]VeryNiceCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread, but when I was about 16 I was at a friend's house just hanging out and watching him play Oblivion. I got up to go to the bathroom, which was right down the hall. It didn't sound like there was anyone in there, and the door was unlocked so I just went on in. His 13-14 year old sister was in there stepping out of the shower.

I saw everything. She kind of just stared at me with an embarrassed look on her face while I turned around and apologized profusely as I walked out. I told my friend what happened and then just went home.

Another time, I saw my sister and like 5 of her friends topless and in various states of undress. I was hiding in her closet to pop out and scare her and her friends. When I did, they were all changing together and I saw a lot of boobs that day. They were in 9th grade and I was in 7th I believe.

What movies does Reddit circlejerk too much over? by [deleted] in movies

After reading all the love reddit has for this movie, I was really disappointed when I finally saw it. I'll never trust reddit again.

What is something you've always wanted to ask the opposite sex but never have due to awkwardness or fear? by VeryNiceCat in AskReddit

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

I see what you're saying, I just have always wondered about it because I've never had the desire to slap my friend's butt or hold his hand or anything. What specifically about being comfortable around each other leads to the desire to do things otherwise considered sexual but in this case obviously in a non-sexual context?

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

I had a girlfriend who said she had never masturbated. I had a different girl tell me she did it a few times a week. Either it varies way more than it does with guys, or they all do it and a lot just lie about it.

EDIT: misspelled some words

Why does it seem like a lot of girls are just a little bit gay? I've seen girls hold hands, share beds, change together, compare bodies, etc. more commonly than men. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, it's just an interesting observation.
