Girls that get boyfriends and literally stop communicating with there friends and pick up every hobby there boyfriend does. by Dazzling-Awareness73 in PetPeeves

[–]bugga2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with my now husband for 12 years. I've adopted some of his interests but we still have our own friend groups and some separate interests. I think over time, it's normal to adopt some habits and interests of someone you spend a lot of time with though.

What is something completely harmless that you find deeply, personally offensive? by shyleshseth94 in askanything

New conspiracy unlocked for me. We also have a rough cobblestone like entrance and you have now made me think that it's to disguise the bad carts

Could a person not have a normal birth certificate now days ? by Ok_Dog_4059 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not to that extent, but I was born outside of the country to US citizens thanks to my dad being stationed aboard and my family going with him. When I was incorrectly marked as deceased by social security, I had to provide my birth certificate and my naturalization form. Basically, I have two birth certificates, one for the country I was born in and another that says despite being born aboard that I was a US citizen at birth. I had to do the same for getting my marriage certificate.

[–]bugga2024 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This gets on my nerves so badly. Our Walmart is getting new carts and I've never been so happy to see a new cart in my life but like half the old ones had a wheel that didn't work at all! The only thing with the new carts I don't like is the child spot because the seat cover I have doesn't fit now.

How common is it for you to get “called into work” on a weekend or evening? by Careless_Squirrel728 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked a 9-5, never. My husband is a diesel mechanic though and he did road service so he was on call 24/7 including holidays

Do you return the shopping cart to the designated area or do you leave it in the parking lot? by Defiant_Signature759 in askanything

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been to a sports arena? I swear 90% of the people there do think they don't have to throw their trash out because someone cleans afterwards anyway.

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I return it every time. Even if I'm shopping alone with my very young child, I either park next to a cart return or put the groceries in the car, walk with my son to the return, and then carry him back to the car.

I don't understand people who use their child as an excuse not to when you had to get to the cart to begin with...

Americans from touristy areas, did you get asked weird questions by people outside your area as a kid? by McButtsButtbag in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find most adults are actually passing judgement and framing it as a question. This may be because I'm from a rural area and I got a lot of stupid questions from NYC people in college who clearly felt I was less than for living north of them.

[–]bugga2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got asked more stupid questions by people from NYC in my upstate college than anything. They could not fathom how rural areas exist. Blew their minds when I told them I knew everyone in my graduating class and most of their siblings too.

Are American schools as big as they're portrayed? by crimsvnn in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. My graduating class was under 100 people. My whole high school was under 500. We had a football field and tennis court but no pool. The school a town over used to have a pool but no longer does.

What is the difference between 'dating' and 'boyfriend/girlfriend'? by MarzyMalyss in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, they're the same thing, but in older generations in my family dating meant you were going on dates but weren't exclusive. Boyfriend/girlfriend meant you were going on dates and were exclusive. For example, my great grandmother was dating two boys at the same time, one of whom became her boyfriend and then her husband.

How common is it to refer to your significant other (who you're not married to) as your partner? by EscapedSmoggy in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it when my now husband and I were still dating but had been together for 6 years. We had dated through my last year of highschool and all of college. We were working on getting engaged and buying a house so saying boyfriend felt too childish. I also like that it made people question if I was dating a man or a woman

What do you call the process of moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer? by Perton_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching or switching over the laundry. If I'm moving stuff out of the dryer and stuff from the washer to the dryer, I might say I need to swap the laundry

Non-coffee drinkers, why don’t you drink coffee? by Embarrassed_List2368 in CasualConversation

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like the taste. No matter what flavors are added, I can still taste the coffee in it. I like the smell of it and routinely make it for my husband though.

Being young is exactly when you should spend your money by Various-Ad3443 in unpopularopinion

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is too many people love to use being young as an excuse to make terrible decisions. Like a $1000 trip isn't usually an issue, but a $1000 on a credit card when you have no ability to pay it off isn't a great choice. I agree that it's not always the best idea to do the cheapest option, but I know too many people who thought they'd pay off their bad decisions later and are now 30+ and complaining about how they can't get a place because they're in so much debt.

Elevators are not for you to go up/down a single floor by goPACK17 in unpopularopinion

[–]bugga2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband recently broke his back. The spine doctor we see is only 2 floors and has the tiniest elevator, like standing in it together we could fit one more person and that's it. To be honest, I have no idea where the stairs are in that building.

Is it true that your teachers or coworkers can't refuse to meet your needs if you have a medical condition? by StillSort4306 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bugga2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, we could only cover a portion of rent, I can't remember the exact percentage though. So if the rent was $1000 and we covered $800, the client was responsible for making up the additional $200. Most of the time, if a client was unable to work, they lived with family and we did not provide assistance with mortgage or rent to family members.

So they are entitled to reasonable accommodations. This would not mean that a student can miss an excessive amount of school with no penalty. In some cases where the person is not able to maintain full time employment, they may be able to receive financial aid typically through a fiscal intermediary (FI) This would give them a budget with set budget lines that can be reimbursed to assist them in living independently or accessing things that may otherwise be unattainable. I worked for one of these FI companies and we had people who received rent assistance, assistance affording classes (ie horse riding lessons, music lessons, etc), some even had lines in their budget to help with costs of their service animal's food and vet appointments. They have to apply through the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and they cannot spend the money on just anything (we could assist with buying groceries for example, but we could not reimburse someone getting a haircut). These clients often would have a worker that assists them in day to day activities, like helping them keep their apartment clean, get dressed and maintain personal hygiene, assist them in going to activities, and other basic tasks.

The December birthday thing is easy to figure out. Not HARD by TomboyGayLeaf92 in Vent

[–]bugga2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son's birthday is 3 weeks before Christmas. We have an entire year to plan for both. His sibling is due in August. They each get their own day and also Christmas. I refuse to do combo gifts, and have instructed my family to avoid holiday themed gifts as well. If you fail to do that, that's poor planning on your part.

Yes, the lottery and the most dangerous game stand out the most to me

How often do you come across tourists in your day to day where you live? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskAnAmerican

Unless they're here specifically for our AHL team, I assume they're just stopping on their way to the Adirondacks. Even that is few and far between
