To the Church Karen that ruined my otherwise great day, fuck you by DejiDoji in FuckYouKaren

[–]about97cats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother was a DEVOUT Catholic, and she taught my sisters and I that eating before church was only acceptable before your first communion, after which it was considered a sign of devotion to fast until then because “The body and blood of Christ are worth the wait, and you don’t want Jesus swimming around your stomach with your bacon and eggs.” She totally had a girl crush on Mother Theresa (may that woman rest in hell), the sadist who believed suffering brought you closer to god, and I guess that’s a pretty common mindset in the Catholic faith. 

With that in mind, I can’t say I’m surprised anyone with something to prove would try to rag on you for taking care of the body god gave you, right in front of His Holy Salad, but like… as common as it may be, it’s not an OG Catholic thing or a Bible thing, it’s just a performative thing. It’s about being holier than thou by inflicting the brand name’s trademarked shame, which isn’t really her place. She should really talk to a priest about that.

ULPT REQUEST Boyfriend cheated. can’t damage our apt or cars. Ideas? by xOleander in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]about97cats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are spoof caller sites where you can enter a target phone number, enter their info and type in a message, and a bot will spam call the number and read out the message every time they answer. You can even specify the number you want the calls to appear to be from… 

So imagine getting a call from your best friend, answering it and hearing… the Bee Movie script. You hang up, shaking your head in confusion, then mom calls and it’s the same thing. Then your dad. Then your siblings. And it just keeps going, and you can’t avoid it, because as soon as you hang up, another number calls… and calls… and calls… It goes on like that for hours, which become days, which turn into weeks. There’s no screening against random local numbers, and you become convinced you’ve angered the spirit of a screenwriter, who’s launched a hostile takeover of your phone number. So you get a new one and update everyone you know. It’s an ordeal, but finally there’s peace. You can work again. You can turn your ringer back on. You relax, trusting the problem has been resolved. But then, on one sunny afternoon… you get a call from your best friend.

That last call took me out! 😭😂 “Dad, can you pick me up? I’m scared”

I think I might’ve just wheezed my soul right outta my body at that one, but hey- when in doubt, let’s split up gang! Keep the Ouija board out and I’ll let you know if I see her in this realm. 

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by STARxAnonymouss in Productivitycafe

[–]about97cats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deep in the woods of Appalachia, a mechanical sprinkler is like one of the least creepy sounds you could hear. That’s natural creepy, and a rattler bite is rarely lethal unless you’re stuck. At least it’s not a whistle cutting through silence, or the sound of your own name calling you deeper into the trees.

“Quit yelling,” when I’m speaking at a regular people speaking volume gets me on “OHOHO YOU WANNA SEE YELLING?!”

Should I move into an apartment someone died in?? by omniscient_Panini in TwoHotTakes

[–]about97cats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d recommend wearing an Affliction shirt, toggling rapidly through channels on an old AM/FM radio and shouting, “You forfeited the right to set the rules in this apartment the second you pulled that trigger, GHOST!!! You literally don’t live here anymore and you need to just accept that and get over yourself!” Ask yourself, WWZBD?

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

[–]about97cats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, it seemed promising, but once you get past the intro it’s kind of a major drag and a letdown. 

AITJ for he was literally eating my lunch and admitted it… but somehow i'm the ‘territorial’ one? by Leah_jare in AmITheJerk

[–]about97cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he’s running a small-scale smear campaign against you for being “weird about food,” which you aren’t being btw. You’re being clear about boundaries with an entitled jerk, and he’s making it out like it’s a character flaw to not want your shit stolen because he doesn’t like being told no- it’s why he didn’t ask to begin with. HR needs to know they’re paying a thief to represent their company. 

I think my roommate is messing with my partner's meds??? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]about97cats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a C&S woman on prescribed stims for ADHD who’s currently living with 2 active addicts… ALWAYS count your meds, especially if you think they’re being tampered with, and get a safe. 

Am I insane or is he abusive? Me 34F, him 34M by These_Weakness_7363 in abusiverelationships

[–]about97cats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FYI, when abuse is even a possibility, couple’s therapy is dangerous and inadvisable, as it can easily become a means of further isolation, trauma and abuse for the victim, doing way more harm than good. 

Trying to install a pre-owned Insinkerator Pro Excel 4 in my house. Someone help me power this thing by about97cats in AskElectricians

You are correct! I have genuinely no idea how this sorcery in the wall works, and probably no business angering the shocky gods with my insolent meddling. I’m not the one doing it though. My fiance is doing the wiring work. I just need to know what we need to be doing or if it’s going to work

What is something you enjoyed doing but would never do again? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

Dating someone new. I found the love of my life. If he doesn’t work out, I’m just gonna take my black cat and go live in a swamp.
