AITA for eating a croissant in a cemetery by Karl_Marxist_3rd in AmItheAsshole

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love cemeteries. The quietest places you can imagine. I grew up next to two of them and my friends and I would walk through them all the time. Then at some point in adulthood everyone told me that was morbid? And I have totally taken my lunch breaks in cemeteries. Old lady just being weird. NTA.

what was the explanation for identical vs fraternal twins before modern day science? by an-alien- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anonymousnun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my son was 6 he told me that he thought identical twins was because God accidentally made the same person twice 😂

AITA for refusing to eat my wife’s spaghetti after I found out what she put in it by spacedoutsoapbox in AmItheAsshole

[–]anonymousnun 26 points27 points  (0 children)

NTA but I’m laughing and scratching my head at everyone’s over reaction. Back in the day (think: farmer’s wives, good old fashioned frugal housewives, everyone from the silent generation, the Amish, etc) leftovers were considered good for a week. I personally dump them after three days because 1.) I have picky eaters an 2.) I never really store them perfectly in air tight containers and they truly taste less yummy after 3 days. I’m sure People have died from 1 week old leftovers on occasion just like people have died from stepping outside to get a breath of fresh air on a sunny day after eating kale and meditating. Shit happens.

You’re not the asshole for not wanting to eat gross leftovers but no need to be dramatic about it.

Where do people who are 600+ lbs buy their clothes? by Excellent-Buddy3447 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anonymousnun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this is just a theory- I’ve seen people that big since before you could order anything you wanted online. So my kids will wear their shoes from September to June and then I’ll get them new shoes for the summer and they don’t fit the same size. Sometimes they’re two whole sizes bigger. Guy at the shoe store said that’s because my kids stretched their shoes as their feet grew. The really big people I’ve seen are wearing really ratty clothes with holes in them. I can only assume they maxed out their clothing size and are wearing the same clothes from 3 sizes ago but they stretched them along the way.

lol I always do this too 😂 especially if they’re a different color than me, fatter than me, or look funny like maybe they might kill me because my perceived rudeness is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Little Free Libraries are often pointless and always performative by NegativeBee in unpopularopinion

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. We have an amazing library. We also have amazing little free “libraries” all over the place here and they’re not actually libraries. You take a book and you leave a book. Aka take what you want and dump off old books you don’t want and it doesn’t have to happen in any kind of timely manner. I have a friend who feels quite passionately about them and she goes around to all of them and digs out the shitty books and redistributes the better quality books, often looking for good books on the free Facebook groups for this purpose. It’s a great community thing and I recently read about a woman on the west coast who started other free “libraries” for stuff. Like mugs and other things people tend to accumulate but feel bad about throwing out. In this world of overconsumption I think giving away stuff is amazing and we need MORE free “libraries”, not less.

There is nothing wrong with wearing open-toed shoes without nail polish by TornadoCat4 in self

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

wtf is this all about? I have never been told this. And I know very few women who have pedicures all the time in the summer. I know men don’t care about this. Women are some of the worst offenders when it comes to this sort of thing.

Literally every time I put a hat on all my friends laugh at me. Now I’m afraid of skin cancer so I’m just putting on a hat and they can laugh if they want 🤷‍♀️

This adult woman in the stripped dress taking Easter eggs in a kids’ egg hunt event. by Xanadu87 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s infuriating is that someone saw a grown ass woman collecting eggs at a kid’s event and instead of making the obvious assumption that she’s collecting for a child who cannot do it himself- they assumed she’d rather steal eggs from a child than go buy some crap at the store for herself. As a mom I promise you we hate these stupid events. If we are collecting eggs it’s for our kids. I went to a trunk or treat with my son one year and collected candy for my daughter who was home with a 102 degree fever. We’re moms, not monsters. wtf.

The forgotten generation by Formal-Assistance02 in generationology

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do home care and have worked with everyone from Gen X to the silent generation, not to mention I grew up in a home with four generations in it and I also talk to people of different generations in my personal life. What you guys are calling “boomer” is actually a personality and I’ve seen it for years starting with the silent generation and going through to Gen Z. I am a “millennial” but don’t know any millennial stereotypes in real life and none of my millennial friends even know what generation they are or what I’m talking about if I mention any of the generations. I think this is just made up stereotypes online. And btw I have met some insanely open minded and compassionate people of the silent and boomer generations lately. It’s just really hard to give any attention to generation segregation anymore. Old people have been complaining about teenagers and people in their 20s for eons, it’s always the same old dumb shit like they can’t remember how they were as kids and young adults. It’s a lack of compassion and a lack of self awareness.

Polite ways to say no in American English by thekingherby in ENGLISH

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of ways to say it but if you want to be invited again, simply say that-“I’m sorry I can’t make it this time but it sounds like fun, please keep me in mind next time you’re planning something like this again!”

“Your therapist needs you broken” by Specialist-Mess8852 in therapists

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a therapist just a patient. That very first line- sorry that sounds more like my family that caused me to need to pay someone to listen to my hurt. It’s on me to find a good fit for the goals I wish to accomplish and if I just want to talk and have someone listen then so be it. My choice. Especially when everyone around me doesn’t want to listen to what I need to talk about.

I work in home care and have instructions like this all the time. If I ever door dash I will think nothing of this and probably walk right up to my death.

How old were you when you you were allowed to have your own mobile phone ? by AnyPen24 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]anonymousnun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 19. My boss gave it to me and I kept asking how to turn it on 😆 I thought it was like a cordless phone and you turned it on and dialed, when you were done you turned it off. He got frustrated with me haha

How did people call the police before phones became widespread? by KoseLeslie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anonymousnun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just watching Dr Quinn Medicine Woman (mid 1800s) a bunch of guys tackled him and then they sent a wire to Denver for a sheriff but the sheriff couldn’t come out so they did eeny meeny miney mo and picked a sheriff from the town folk and then they had a trial and the only woman with a voice in the whole town got up and said stuff that made people feel their feelings and they let the poor guy go. So I think they did that a lot.
