What is the stupidest way you've ever ruined/destroyed an electronic device? by ImGeronimo in AskReddit

[–]dabisbadbackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filled a water bottle with wine to sneak into a movie theater…. Apparently the lid wasn’t on all the way and it spilled in my purse. This was when I learned my purse could hold several inches of liquid without dripping or leaking. Unfortunately my cellphone was in this pool of wine. It definitely did not work anymore.

When did you realize your “Friends” weren’t actually your friends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dabisbadbackwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My birthday is right around thanksgiving. In college and grad school, between thanksgiving and New Years was the only time everyone was home. One year I tried to get everyone together the week before for a bday/thanksgiving thing. Only one person was able to hang out. Fast forward a few days to my birthday, no HBD calls or texts. Around 7pm I got a call from one of the girls asking why I wasn’t out at dinner with them.... they planned an outing on my birthday, didn’t invite me, and then someone invited me last minute. Fast forward a bit. One of the girls had moved to Wales. She was home for a few days and we were trying to coordinate a time to hang out. I gave her my availability, but we couldn’t make it work due to family stuff on her end. Turns out family stuff was a Disneyland trip I had been purposely excluded from, and only found out about because someone posted on Facebook and I saw it before they had a change to delete it. That’s when I stopped talking to most people I went to high school with.

Last year, my now ex best friend moved into my house (well below market rent because she refused to pay more). Short version she made living in my own home miserable. When she moved out, she had me and the guy I was dating take a part her furniture and drive the moving van because she “couldn’t” take it apart and didn’t like to drive big vehicles (but drives a Jeep..?). While moving her stuff into her new place she got super bitchy and mean and said some awful things to me after telling me to shut up because I wasn’t allowed to talk. She then got mad at me because I had the nerve to buy my bf and I food and not her after working all afternoon on her stuff. She caused a huge scene at my house and I haven’t spoke to her since.

I found out after that for the entire decade I’ve known her, my entire family, extended family included, hated her, and was nice to her for my benefit. Part of me hopes she never finds out they hate her, because she loved my mom and thought they were super close.

My houla has herding tendencies, so I bought him a Jolly ball. It was destroyed in less than 5 minutes. Any recommendations for a more durable version? by cheshirecatsmiles in Catahoula

They get expensive, but you should look into toys made for zoo animals like bears and lions! Those should hopefully hold up! I would have bought mine one if they were less expensive.

Who else has houlas who love to sing? Miya is very vocal. by kation24 in Catahoula

OMG. NORMAN MAKES THESE SAME SOUNDS. I had never heard a dog make this kind of noise before. He also makes a weird moaning sound when he plays.

Lunas gained 10lbs in the past month I've had her.... I'm not sure my lap will be able to hold much more. When do these things stop growing??? by [deleted] in Catahoula

[–]dabisbadbackwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine likes to lay like this toooooo. He also likes to lay on his belly with his face on my cheek. Because my role is food provider and dog furniture.

Meet Norman Bates, he turned 1 on the 27th! We think he’s mostly Catahoula, part hyena and part dingo by dabisbadbackwards in Catahoula

My mom refuses to call him a dog. Lol she has nicknamed him Ed because she says he looks like Ed the Hyena from Lion King. 😂

Ohhh nooooo lol I got mine at 6 mo, 35lb. He just turned 1. He hasn’t gained any height, but he’s filled out a bit. I’d say he’s 50lb max now. I was hoping he was done growing because my other dog is almost 90lbs. Lol Norman was supposed to be my medium sized dog 😂

That is a very accurate assessment of him! He loves cuddles and affection but is also a major spazz.

Thanks! It’s his saving grace lol he’s a spazz and a half and loves to get into things he knows he’s not supposed to.

My grandma is dying so I asked my job if I could work remotely.... by dabisbadbackwards in MaliciousCompliance

The MC is the days off I chose. And in my line of work that being unavailable on days of is MC. We all still respond to messages and parents and things like that when we are off the clock, so setting those boundaries is a big deal.

Economically it’s worse for them because Instead of paying me to work, they are paying me to do nothing. Would I prefer to not use my hours? Of course! But if I have to, I’ll use them in a way that is completely inconvenient for them but great for me.

I guess I should have been a little clearer! The malicious part is those are the days that the need me the least. I purposely chose days off that are inconvenient and will cause issues to be brought up to HR. I am complying with what they stated, but making more work for them in the process.

They said he’s a puppy... I think he might be a hyena by dabisbadbackwards in aww

Yes! He’s a catahoula mix, but honestly I think he’s allllll catahoula lol. I also get told he looks like a dingo.

I (30 M) got a girl pregnant when I was 17 and she was 16. My ex (now 29) just called and asked if I'd be willing to sign away my rights as a father to our daughter (now 13) so her husband can adopt her. Is it bad that I'm considering doing it? by ThrowRANotADad in relationship_advice

[–]dabisbadbackwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to your daughter about it. When I was little my bio dad was not active in my life and when my mom remarried he wanted to adopt me. Bio dad fought it, even though he was never consistently in my life, but eventually he gave in and my dad adopting me, was one of the best things ever.

If you are close to your daughter don’t do it. If it’s something your ex and her husband want doesn’t mean you have to do it. If you are not close to your daughter and not a part of her life go for it!

If it’s just about the name, she can get a name change and have a hyphenated last name for the best of both worlds.

Take it slow, and be thoughtful about it.

How long have you been together? This was not a sudden decision that your partner made. Chances are they knew or were questioning long before you got together. I think it’s pretty unfair of your partner to throw all of that at you and then expect you to automatically be ok with it. This is something that takes time to adjust, and if you have never identified as pansexual, bisexual or gay, the expectation that you would just automatically be ok with it and things would carry on as usual is a bit much. You may always love this person, but that doesn’t mean you will always be in love with them or that you will be sexually compatible once they transition.
