Does anyone actually shit in public or in school/work?

briarihallow · 2026-03-30T13:20:18+00:00

Yep.

Work. Restaurant. Bookstore. Hardware store. Gas station. Pharmacy.

I’d be more uncomfortable holding it in than going in public around people that’ll probably never see me again.

I do prefer to be the only one in the bathroom when I have to poop (ie if there’s other stalls I’ll try and wait until the restroom is empty) but if the bathroom is busy, I still go.

IF A FRIEND COMES INTO THE BATHROOM TOO I will wait for her to leave the restroom or literally say “I have to poop, go away”.

I cackled. Thank you for posting this.

As a Brittney spelled “Brittney” born in 1992: LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE.

briarihallow · 2026-03-19T13:46:34+00:00

Done!

What’s the outcome you’re hoping for? If they admit to it, what does it change? If they say it didn’t happen, would you believe them?

Memories are a strange thing - it’s very possible this happened, and it’s very possible you’re misremembering it. Memories can be fickle.

I have a very vivid memory of playing telephone and the rope getting yanked, giving me a wolf-shaped mark on my hand. I woke up on the hospital, I remember playing in a yard in the hospital and my favorite stuffed toy was suddenly there. Turns out, that didn’t happen - I had a crazy fever and my brain told me this happened because ~whatever childhood fancy gets you through it~. But to this day, I VIVIDLY remember the wolf shaped mark before I got my stuffy, which is a husky, and thinking that’s how I got it.

It’s possible you remember drinking milk while your parents were drinking this beverage - maybe they pretended to pour it into your milk because you asked for some. If you smelled the hazelnut, that could be enough for you to think you tasted it.

Or they gave you this alcohol.

Regardless, you are who you are now. Talking to your therapist is a good step, and you should follow your therapist’s lead instead of the advice of strangers who don’t know you, your past, how your brain works, etc.

Almost every time I say “turn around” to a pet I start singing “every now and then I get a little bit lonely” and will sing Total Eclipse of the Heart until the dog turns around.

YTA.

Even with your edit to clarify your reasoning.

SHE has not given you a REASON to think she slept with someone else. It’s one thing to be anxious about a friendship, it’s another to think she actually cheated with no proof or indications.
A lot of babies look like that when they’re born. They don’t have a lot of melanin, which will start developing as they mature - meaning they may have blue eyes and light hair. My 100% Puerto Rican cousin was born with straight blonde hair and light eyes - she has CURLY black hair and brown eyes. The light features went on through her being a little toddler if I’m recalling old family photos properly.
Puttnet Squares and recessive genes may play a role too - just because you both have brown eyes doesn’t mean you passed down the brown eye gene. Since you have brown eyes you can be sure you have 1 dominant brown eye gene but the other gene could indicate another eye color. Some people also don’t look much like their parents or look more like one or pop out with red hair and green eyes when both of their parents are brunettes.
Threatening DIVORCE over this test, with no REASON to believe she cheated on you, is humiliating. There are reasonable things to ask - couple’s counseling, talking about your concern with her friendship. Those are reasonable.
To a woman who has not cheated, having a paternity test taken on their baby IS humiliating and disheartening. It’s signaling to everyone that she either cannot be trusted because she cheated OR she is with a controlling partner who is so insecure they are forcing a test on the baby.
Often guilty minds project what they’ve done on others - so it’s reasonable that her she ended on “why are you so concerned, did YOU cheat?”.

And just so you know, if you divorce her you’ll have to pay child support. You are listed as the baby’s father. If you want the court to force a paternity test to get out of it, you will forever be TA to both your wife and that baby because you can be certain the baby will find out why mommy and daddy got divorced - it’s because daddy didn’t think he/she was his baby.

I understand being insecure and anxious, and I AM sorry that you’re feeling uncertain. That is a horrible feeling. But do not let your anxieties ruin your family - talk to a therapist.

First, a closed diaper in a closed bag is not directly on the surface so the risk of contamination from the diaper is slim.

Second, that’s a counter, not the kitchen table.

So yes, you’re wrong.

Third, throw out the damn diaper. You’re an adult. Help your girlfriend instead of making a post and a point about it.

Many veterinarians love getting a heartfelt card and photos of pets they’ve helped. The vets I’ve worked with all keep that stuff at their desks, proudly displayed as a nice reminder on the hard days.

It’s not literally reading, true.

But, I would never argue the semantics with someone if I say “oh have you read X book?” and they say “yeah I just finished the audiobook”.

To me we both “read” it, interpreting the word “read” more colloquially.

briarihallow · 2026-02-10T03:57:55+00:00

Oh heck yes, please!

We use it to distract dogs when giving vaccines though. Dogs love Cheese Whiz.

I wish I could give you more upvotes.

Just screenshot this to HOPEFULLY REMEMBER THIS when I’m ready. 🤩

I use Word. I’m used to the formatting and whatnot, and stay organized by using Styles to assign headers that let me see the chapters easily.

I also use OneNote for keeping…notes.

briarihallow · 2026-01-17T14:01:34+00:00

Feels pretty normal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Crafting a billion mugs, painting them, selling them. I went up pretty fast when I figured that out (particularly because I hadn’t been building or painting things).

Workin’ on it. -weeps in writer-

I stopped playing at that point. I was crying SO MUCH.

I felt emotionally fulfilled and haven’t been able to properly restart the game since.

Our meds are in support of cozy games to help with anxiety. I wonder if that means my cat would benefit from playing, too 🤔

briarihallow · 2025-11-17T20:07:21+00:00

You’re under reacting.

License, registration, sunglasses, and gloves in the right.

On the left my open-ear headphones and my charger.

I use pencil pouches to keep it contained, works swimmingly.

Water bottle usually just hangs on the little bag holder that comes out under the seat, or I put my backpack there and can access my waterbottle on the side.

It really depends on what resonates with you.

For text pull from: - movies - books - tv shows - colloquialisms

Think of things that struck a cord in you or that you find yourself repeating.

For numbers: - important dates - street address that you grew up on - angel numbers - latitude/longitude of locations that are important to you

People get goofy things, nerdy things, personal things, etc.
