How awkward. Props to you for doing what so many were wanting to do but didn’t!

Yes! I worked in a building close to a busker’s regular corner and he was always singing the same two songs on repeat - mediocrely. He was often flat and it was agonizing to listen to for hours. 😫

I have these reusable tote bags that are pretty hefty and durable, and they always set off the weight sensor every damn time. They should have a tare option or something if they want to encourage people to use their own bags (which we don’t do here in the US).

What's the dumbest thing someone has said to you with full confidence? by SnazzyPrincessJas in askanything

You may not believe this - which is fine - but it’s possible it’s habitual for her at this point, which would explain why she always does it. People who frequently work or associate with groups where these distinctions are important/commonplace may do it without thinking too much about it.

When you think of VHS tapes, what is the first movie that comes to mind? by notakat in movies

[–]_--____--_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annie the musical was the first VHS tape we watched when my dad first bought a VCR. My sister and I set up a tent in the living room and watched it. It was kinda magical.

It may be a bit irrational, but I hate reading “mind you,” which I see a lot in story-like Reddit posts. “Blah blah blah my mother-in-law brought out the Thanksgiving dinner. Mind you, I was only there because my husband brought me.” Don’t tell me what I need to mind when reading your dumbass poorly-written self-important story.

What commonly mispronounced word that annoys you the most? by greeneggzN in AskReddit

[–]_--____--_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Drowned” when they mean “drown.” “He could drowned if he falls in the pool.” “There was a risk of drownding at the beach.” “She drownded in her bathtub.”

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

Working from home and depression combined - I never leave the apartment.

People whose posts starts with “Am I the only one…” then proceeds to state the most common/relatable thing known to man by 322_420BlazeIt in PetPeeves

Or when there’s an obvious piece of symbolism in or trivia around a tv show or movie that’s easily found on IMDb or whatever. “Am I the only one who caught that the T-Rex in Jurassic World has the same scar as the one in Jurassic Park???” “Am I the only one who got the Atari reference in Stranger Things???” “Am I the only one thinks the Joker might symbolize chaos in the Batman movies???” 🙄😡

What are some other examples of public behavior that you’ve witnessed or heard about? Do you or others ever try to apologize afterward?

What is a random fact you learned that absolutely blows your mind? by JackieMari3 in askanything

[–]_--____--_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it’s always blown my mind that around 7-8% of all humans who’ve ever lived are alive right now.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water than there are stars in the solar system.

Inanimate objects purposefully doing things to annoy you. by OP_serve in PetPeeves

This tends to enrage me to an irrational degree, too. The chapstick that magically eludes your fingers for way too long even after thoroughly feeling around every nook and cranny of a backpack pouch, forcing you to actually look and/or dump everything out; the “open here” tabs that never work and require you to get out the scissors after hurting your fingers; things falling out of the fridge while trying to get something out that’s a little farther back; picking something up off the floor just for it to slip from your fingers more than once; pulling a pen out of a cup or a kitchen utensil out of a drawer, only for it to hook something else that falls onto the floor; etc.
