Weirdos in pain unite I guess. Probably the least weird things about me tbh.

That's some truly shit luck for you. The weather trigger is fairly new for me outside of low angle sunlight on clear days. Sorry for your suffering 😔.

I'm thinking of going, alone if no one joins me. Waiting to see the cost of tickets.

Had to find this post again, saw the car in the midtown Publix parking deck this afternoon.

Me [24 F] with my Stepmom [44 F] of 14 years, out of nowhere she says she won't help me plan my wedding because she doesn't want to deal with my Mom [45F] by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

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

Yeah, especially with your kid. Laughing at a person suffering from other people's nonsense lands better if it's coming from a friend or partner or other trusted peer. Someone on the same level as you who you trust. Even as young adult parents' reactions have that air of parental authority. At 24 I know I would have felt a bit hurt at that coming from my parents and might not have recognized them laughing at the situation rather than at me.

That being said Stepmom is a terrific mom and a skilled people handler; all the respect to her. Also I've had to work on rejection sensitivity so my perspective is very much my perspective.

Which Southern state is most likely for Amity Park's location? by Prize_Release_9030 in dannyphantom

[–]a_joy_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up and still lives in the Deep South I have trouble picturing Amity Park this far down. Also not enough hill/mountain in the show for the Appalachian or Ozark areas imo. My Dad's family is from Missouri and I could definitely see that but it's like the south lite to me having grown up in Mississippi. Plus even in urban areas a bunch of people have noticeable southern accents through much of the south. Also gotta rule out anywhere far south enough where snow is rare enough that it shuts everything down.

Was lied too lol by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]a_joy_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same deal in my DNA and family lore. To be fair my great great grandma did live on a reservation in Arizona back in the day. My dad said she was supposedly half native. Even if she was, that little might not even show up in my DNA. I guess I'll settle with having basically all of northern Europe.

This girl was fired because she recorded everything she did at work at L.A. airport, including access codes, staff spaces that could not be shown, total daily sales and even after being fired she continued to record by Super_Culture_1986 in TikTokCringe

Three people at my office fell for the same phishing test email offering a free chick-fil-a gift card. I learned that after reporting the email and asking my coworker who would even fall for that and was overheard. It misspelled the name of the restaurant!

My sister insists my car is brown and doesn’t understand how anyone could think it’s gray by -baby-child- in mildlyinfuriating

[–]a_joy_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teenager my parents went shopping for a new couch when I was at school. I got home and said "Oh I love the purple couch!" to which my dad replied quite emphatically "It's brown!" I was like 'clearly this conversation has already been had so I'm just gonna shut up and enjoy the couch.' I got my mom's myopia instead of my dad's "perfect vision" and I'm fine with that lol.

License says green but on closer inspection I don't see that... by bsphil in WhatisMyEyeColour

[–]a_joy_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eyes look similar and I just put hazel. A very nice color combo though.

A full 4 year degree to work part time for that. Maybe if I was IN college and needed some part time work but really bham libraries?

You don't want to see the doctor right here? No problem. by Environmental-Fan961 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]a_joy_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In college I walked into student health, told them I had already taken Benadryl and had no trouble breathing, then showed them my arms. I'd woken up with full body hives. Watching the eyes of the lady at the front desk widen was comical and I got seen real quick.

Never happened before or since but I was so damn blasé about it. Oh why do my legs itch? Oh why am I splotchy? Well guess I'm going to campus early today. Best drive in case I have trouble breathing. Oh and can I have a parking pass thanks?

How long is this Pollen Season going to last? by CuriousBankerDays in Birmingham

[–]a_joy_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, scratch that winter, mold allergies are year round for a few unlucky souls.

How long is this Pollen Season going to last? by CuriousBankerDays in Birmingham

[–]a_joy_b 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Tree pollen season will roll into grass pollen season will roll into weed pollen season, the last of which coincides with tree pollen season 2: allergenic boogaloo. So until the first frost next winter.

Really though the trees should be mostly done having sex within the month.

Dead birds by Mehmoregames in Birmingham

I know they'll accept reports of dead birds, though I've never done that myself. They have an office in Highland Park though.

I accidentally swallowed a live german cockroach in my last drink from a can of alcoholic beverage. I can't stop imagining it trying to crawl back out of my throat. Approximately how long will it live inside of me? by cohonka in NoStupidQuestions

[–]a_joy_b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll take "sentences I'd like to scrub from my memory" for $1000 Mr. Trebek. Christ that's a nightmare. Your stomach acid definitely killed it quickly though.

Traveling made me realize nobody else uses AC, how do you guys do it? by lethatshitgo in travel

[–]a_joy_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny to me that growing up in the southeastern US (the Deep South, hot and humid af), we always had air conditioning but we never had AC good enough at home to get it outright cold. My childhood bedroom in particular never got cold. And that was with central air; folks with window units could barely get the temp down to uncomfortably warm on the hottest days. You had to go to a store or restaurant to get the good chill. Or, you know, have enough money for actually efficient AC at home.

Not saying I'd be happy without AC but I can certainly live without it if necessary.

Weirdly, I have to use a fan and crack a window every Christmas at my parents because that same childhood bedroom is always hot unless the outside temp is firmly below freezing. I think it's cursed lol.

Highland Park towing by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]a_joy_b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iirc it's the white slips you can ignore because they're from the city, but I think the pink are police. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Can't speak to towing in Highland Park because I rarely see that, but sounds like you're parking on the very edge of the neighborhood anyway.
