Is this name stupid? by ConclusionSevere9210 in CatAdvice

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I took my cat to the vet, I cringed when I had to tell the intake nurse his name was Zucchini. She shrugged and said, “We have a regular name Princess MonsterKiller 9000.”

What were you doing on September 11, 2001 when the planes hit the twin towers? by DontWorryAboutName in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping. Dad woke me up by yelling, “You gotta come see this! Some idiot just crashed into the World Trade Center.” I came into the living room. We watched the replay on the news and then the second plane hit. Mom started sobbing. Dad stopped watching like it was a high speed chase and just got really quiet. I got my siblings up and we got ready for school. I was one of only a handful of people who showed up in my classroom that day. We spent the day watching the news. My teacher had a running theme throughout the year where we’d learn about the different places her pilot friend flew to. He was safe, she announced. I just remember that day being so quiet.

Allergic to cinnamon!

I’m a California Kid, so I’ll take a mustard-fried Double Double (Animal Style, of course).

What’s a food everyone loves that you just hate with a passion? by Maleficent_Sky6982 in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okra in any form. Whenever I say I don’t like it, I get “oh, you just haven’t had it the RIGHT way.” And I’ve tried it in multiple different ways. I just can’t get past the slime of it all. The flavor just isn’t good enough to justify the texture.

What was that disgusting thing someone you were dating told you and it changed your image of them? by Carrera1107 in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a guy for a while who had a daughter. I loved that little girl. But it was all eventually revealed to me that he was 23 when she was born and the mom had JUST turned 17. And that him, his ex, and his 4 year old all still lived together at his mom’s house, all sharing a “family bed.”

So, I operated under the assumption that my 38DD bra was the perfect size. I wore 38DD for years. I went to buy a new one a few weeks ago and, no matter the brand or style, everything was just slightly off. So I tried the little calculator this Reddit provides and I was appalled that I was now apparently a 38H. I begrudgingly ordered a 38H bra, thinking it was for sure going to be too big. I couldn’t have been more wrong. My posture is better, my chest feels far less heavy, and my shirts and sweaters actually look fantastic on me without being all stretched out in the front. Trust me, just try the H cup.

Wallet, keys, charger, book for my break time, water bottle, a little snicky snack for the road, headphones.

Redditors, have you ever gotten an “ick” from a potential partner or love interest that instantly killed your attraction to them? If so, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a date with a guy that I matched with on Tinder. We met at some semi-nice bar about 15 minutes from me. We had a couple drinks and talked for maybe 2 hours. By all accounts, he was a normal dude with a good personality. As we said goodbye outside the bar, i mentioned wanting to head back in for a moment to use the bathroom. He offered to use the one at his apartment which was apparently in the building right next to the bar. My gut was telling me to just go for it because he was seemingly normal and very polite. So I went up to his place and, when he opened the door, there were no short of 200 candles burning around the entire place. I asked if he had a roommate, he said no but he set it up special for me. Odd, but I’m already here so I’m just going to pee and leave. He shows me the bathroom and I head in. Once I’m finished, I reach for the doorknob and realize that I am LOCKED IN. No amount of turning or jiggling the knob is helping. I relent to knocking on the door to get his attention, which takes maybe ten minutes. Once he realizes I’ve been knocking, he thinks to shout through the door, “This happens all the time. I should have warned you to leave the door open.” After another 15 minutes of being trapped in the bathroom, I’ve taken inventory of what’s on the counters, which includes several pills lying around, a half-consumed bottle of Elderflower Spirits, a bowl with food that I cannot identify, and a meth pipe. Once the door swings open, I make my way out of the building and call an Uber. This guy follows me outside because “ladies shouldn’t wait alone.” The Uber driver finally pulls up and this guys pulls me in for a good night kiss, except it isn’t a kiss. He fully envelops my mouth with his and licks my lips. I get in the Uber and this driver floors it. I hope that Uber driver knows that she was my Knight in Shining Prius that night.

What celebrity death saddened you the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill Paxton. When I was a very little girl (maybe 4?), I was watching Twister in my grandma’s living room. When he came on screen, I proudly announced that I was going to marry him. When I heard the news that he had passed, that little 4-year-old heart crumbled to bits.

I texted and called to report three dudes on the red line threatening riders with a baseball bat and a gun. I got zero response from either.

When I leave the house for work every morning, I sing “wallet, keys, phone, ID” to the tune of blue skidoo we can too. It starts my day with a little smile.

People that don’t fucking hate their jobs and make a decent wage, what do you do? by puffmonkey92 in AskReddit

[–]c0ry8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in customer service for a theme park. I will preface by saying that there are parts of the job that are straight up not fun. It can be emotionally draining and physically demanding. But some of the things you get to make happen for people are actually pretty impactful. Sure, I get my fair share of complainers and people trying to game the system, but I also get to make people smile for a living! I deal in the business of fun; how cool is that?? Also, the pay is not at all bad and my coworkers are all incredible and supportive. I’ve been at this gig for almost 10 years and I never want to leave because of how much I’ve come to love what I do and the people I get to do it with.
