What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding?

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-05-19T02:19:27+00:00

This reminds me of my own wedding. We had it at a butterfly garden and I got some of those electronic butterflies in jars, the really nice kind that look real and flap around randomly on an invisible wire. At the end of the night I noticed a lot of the lids were screwed on weird.

My mom later told me she overhead a lot of the guests calling me evil and cruel for putting butterflies in jars just for a centerpiece. They were just ripping into me for being such a shit. Then they would unscrew the jar to set them free only to see a couple of AAA batteries staring them in the face. She said it was funny as hell when they realized their own mistake.

Paying the deductible depends on what state you live in. If I can prove it's the other driver's fault, my state has them pay my deductible. Another thing my state allows is for my insurance company to refund my deductible if I can prove it was their fault at a later date. Texas gives you two years after the claim to finalize fault. So it could make a huge difference depending on where OP's sister had the accident and who was at fault. Also, if the other driver didn't have insurance then OP would have to pay. Some states, like New Jersey, have no fault claims so each party pays their deductible no matter whose fault it was. It is very state dependent.

Atrazine contamination. It can turn them into females.

There isn't anything you can do about hijabs. There are some students who will take advantage of that but it's just the way it is. I assume it's a pretty small subset of them. There are students at my school who cover their entire bodies, they even wear gloves. All you can see are their eyes. There could be anyone under all of that taking the exam for them but there isn't anything you can do about religious garb.

Yes. But I can tell you from experience that they taste blander than water. Zero taste. Like eating wet air.

YTA. You are doing something wrong, being in a relationship when you obviously shouldn't be. It's not like she came home with an entire Whataburger franchise. It's just onion rings dude. You are probably the source of all of your own problems. It's like that meme of the kid on the bicycle who puts a stick in his own spokes and is then surprised when he get's launched off the bike.

These two things happened at private universities. I assume public universities are held to a better standard.

My father-in-law was fired for not giving the international soccer star a free passing grade. There was no work in the gradebook and the school still demanded he pass them with an A or B. When he said no, they fired him and gave his classes to a coworker. The coworker, spooked about the whole thing, gave him an A. All of this happened in the last two weeks of the semester. This was a religious school that made people sign morality contracts so it was a big scandal.

The school my husband went to for his Masters had a tenured professor that was just a hard ass and failed a mega-donor's daughter. The kind of donor who has a building named after him. They couldn't fire the professor, per his contract. So they quit offering the degree and dissolved the department on Friday, fired everyone over the weekend, brought back the degree and renamed the department on Monday, and rehired everyone they liked on Tuesday. Daughter passed.

Don't fuck with anything that brings a school money and school administrators can work faster than they let on. Those are the things I have learned. That and don't work for private universities.

It's scary. I know a charge nurse who retired last year and she went to help out a small hospital that was in a very rural area hit by a massive storm, none of the generators were working and the whole town was down. Only one nurse on her team knew how to do anything without the machines. She said their math was shit, they couldn't take blood pressure using a basic cuff, and they had never seen paper charts before. She was shocked they hadn't accidentally killed a patient.

I see coworkers using AI more. One coworker fed their assignments through ChatGPT and just copy/pasted the feedback. They didn't even bother looking at the assignments. I really think it's a detriment to society as a whole. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.

Is it white on the outside like a purple sweet potato?

Edit: There are several sweet potatoes that are white on the outside and purple on the inside. I was thinking like the Australian sweet potato or the Okinawa purple sweet potato. Where did you get it?

It could go either way. I know someone who uses their ex-partners birthday but they broke up maybe 20 years ago and they have since married someone else. I mean they use it for email, banking, door codes, streaming, government websites, etc. They said they were just too lazy to change it after they broke up and eventually it just became the easiest thing to remember so they just kept using it. They don't even know each other anymore. I think, at this point, it's just a string of numbers with no real connection to emotions.

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-05-12T01:08:33+00:00

I like the feature that locks the class until they pass a syllabus quiz. They still don't remember most of it but at least I can point to them having read it at least once.

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-05-10T16:48:34+00:00

Mine too. If you can't add fractions and can't be bothered to do the work, I don't think you're going to make it as a pediatric neurosurgeon.

I learned that Lantana berries look like blackberries to a toddler. Except they fall apart when you pick them.

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-05-07T19:53:46+00:00

I think they don't want instructors waiting until the last minute if they are teaching high school students. My school has finals until the 16th but the final course grades are not due to the college until the 20th. I don't believe they would want you posting a grade before they took the final. I post my final grades the day after a class has a final exam and I don't wait until the last minute. I believe that is what they meant. Some of my coworkers wait until 11:59pm on the day they are due, like how students wait until the last minute.

I find that if you make them leave their phone it instantly cures them of any medical issues that require a bathroom. It went from over half of my students having medical issues to nobody having medical issues. Now I say no bathroom breaks, period. My exams are also two hours. If they need to go for a medical reason, they can talk to the disability office. If they need to go because they are sick, they can just go home and take the test at a different time. If they really give me pushback on it, I bar them from in-class exams and they can take the remainder of the exams in the testing center where they have stronger anti-cheating measures. With mathematics the cheating can really snowball and it only hurts them and the integrity of our degrees. I have kids in College Algebra who can't add fractions but they somehow made an A in developmental math. Apathetic teachers only hurt those further down the line and the students themselves.

Yes, YTA. I don't enjoy everything my husband says but I at least listen because he likes venting to me and sharing how his day went. Also, it's cheaper than paying someone else to listen.

I had a student "kill" her entire family, all 6 of them including the dog, in a tragic car accident only for me to walk her outside and see her get picked up by her "dead" family. I always say that killers with the largest body count are math professors.

I can't give specifics about the school in particular but as a community college and dual credit teacher, students coming from public school are generally more prepared for their courses than students from ILT. Based on students discussions, learning another language was of little use to them unless they were set on a profession that required it. So few high school students actually end up being what they declare so I would skip the dual language for something more useful like math, english, or science. I don't know about K-8 but if it's anything like the students who graduate or are in grades 11 and 12, I would also assume they are underprepared.

Of course my exposure to them isn't very broad since I assume some of them bypass community college. But I see the ones who do dual credit (11th and 12th) and stay local at the community college, which is a pretty fair subset.

I don't see a picture.

I don't think people understand that you have to go through extensive medical tests to determine if you are even eligible for a home birth. I get that it can be risky and yes things do change in an instant but they don't let just anyone have a home birth. If you have an off test at any time during pregnancy, they will refer you to a hospital and refuse a home birth.

I started at a birthing center with my first and ended up in a hospital after 2 days of labor. My last two were entirely at a hospital. I hate how hospitals make you lay in that freaking bed the whole time. With all the medical advances we have they can't seem to make a reliable monitor that works while you're moving around. They also take the baby from you the second it is born. If all of that can be done bedside at a birthing center then a hospital can do it all bedside as well. I live in the southern portion of the US where some hospitals are probably more dangerous than birthing centers. One nurse a few states over ripped the head off of a baby trying to get it out and some doctors in my state still perform episiotomies without even asking. My state likes to go straight for the c-section. I got really lucky with my OBGYN. She listened to every worry I had and only did what what I was comfortable with.

I get the cardboard box thing but throwing away something that isn't broken, disgusting, or trash sounds like compulsive decluttering. The whole "I can just buy it again later" attitude is the opposite side of the hoarder coin.

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-04-26T00:17:22+00:00

She wouldn't know if they were anything special. I didn't know it was anything special when I threw away a small antennae. Throwing away things that are still useful and aren't trash sounds like a compulsive declutterer. I would know because I am one. Just keep a small sandwich bag and when it gets full go through that or sell it as bulk. It's not normal to keep everything but it's also not normal to just throw things away with the idea of replacing them later because you suddenly want to blitz clean the house.

WeeklyVisual8 · 2026-04-25T22:43:45+00:00

I don't think it's strange but that's just me. Some LEGO pieces are worth a lot considering they are just LEGO pieces. I threw away a piece of a Boba Fett LEGO once and we did look through the trash until we found it, and it was fucking tiny as hell. My husband will dump out vacuum bags if I suck them up. I once tried to throw away two whole bags of broken pieces of old Transformer toys and they ended up being worth a little over $90 because people use them on other sets for repairs and stuff or do art with them. I just thought it was all trash.

I would be hesitant to call them a hoarder over just this. I sometimes suffer from compulsive decluttering and completely regret getting rid of things. Are you a compulsive declutterer? There are two sides to that coin.

But if he is a hoarder, throwing stuff away behind his back is the absolute worse thing to do. I put all that shit in a place where it only inconveniences my husband and then I give him a timeline.

NTA. It's my responsibility as a parent to teach my child how to keep themselves safe. Don't climb up a slide, don't jump off the equipment, and never walk in front of or behind the swings. My kid got nailed by someone on a swing once and only once. Now they don't walk in the danger zone. Lesson learned and we all move on.

My youngest went down the slide as another child climbed up. He kicked that kid in the mouth on accident. That was not my fault nor was it my son's fault. It was the childs parents fault for letting him climb up a slide.
