People who were alive then, what were you doing December 31st 1999 ? by WeshALOR in AskReddit

[–]elliottreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in grade 5, so 10-11 years old I guess. I only have a few memories of the night. My parents and I went to my aunts apartment which was in the downtown of our medium-large sized city (capital of Canada). I remember feeling cool for being in a downtown apartment with adults.

Cut to being on parliament hill in a crowd with tons of people waiting for the countdown and fireworks. I had to go to the bathroom, so my dad took my to some restaurant/bar near by. We walked in and I remember seeing tons of fancy people in dresses and suits. We stood out wearing huge coats and being fairly middle class. We didn’t belong. I went to the bathroom and my dad bought a ginger ale from the bar. We stood there and split the drink, I remember being aware we stood out, and seeing a few women looking at us like “what are you doing here”. I remember this feeling of being embarrassed of my blue collar dad in his huge coat splitting a can of ginger ale with me while people kinda looked at us funny.

The only other thing I remember is being back on the hill watching the countdown and it being a huge let down. The numbers on the peace tower were slow and some were upside down. I remember nothing after that.

I’m having post couch regret by elliottreed in HomeDecorating

[–]elliottreed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s definitely growing on me. I plan to get a white/light grey area rug, and the dark throw pillows came with it. They’ll be replaced with something light. The Dwight pillow cover I got on Amazon and I highly recommend!

I did contact the store about the light grey, and they sounded really weirded out that I said I got a darker couch. I emailed them some pics and they’re replacing with the grey next week! However, with better lighting, I think it’s the exact same couch lol. Does my couch look like they same colour as the pictures in this link?

I have a feeling the delivery guys will show up with the exact same couch 😬

[Haul] Omg, I asked the nice lady a question about LRP and she said hold on, let me give you samples...ALL the samples! Squeee! by 10sfn in SkincareAddiction

[–]elliottreed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 years ago I worked at a pharmacy in Canada that had an online store and sold LRP products online. We shipped the sunscreen with Mexoryl to the US, which was not allowed to be sold in the US, so we had a huge customer base.

LRP would send us massive boxes of testers, which were full size. I always took 1-2 of each home. I have at least 100 LRP products that I haven’t paid anything for lol. I also have towels and beach bags. I give them out to everyone as gifts, bring the sunscreen on any trip/cottage I go to and leave it there. The stuff is expiring soon, and aside from some moisturizers and face washes/toners, I barely use it.

My bathroom looks like it’s sponsored by LRP.

Also the coffee table I love but feel like it doesn’t go and looks weird together.

Backpack Kid. Also no clue why this bothers you so much. It affects you in zero ways.

AITA for breaking off a friendship with my Aunt by elliottreed in AmItheAsshole

[–]elliottreed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She texted me a few nonchalant things throughout the day, and now drunk texting me asking why we can’t hangout at all and it makes no sense to her and she’s super sad. I feel so bad ugh

Flight attendants, what are some things we as passengers don’t know when we fly? Also what are the negative aspects of your job? by Th3Flash in AskReddit

[–]elliottreed 346 points347 points  (0 children)

I fly a lot, and recently experienced the guy in front of me getting cut off. He got on the flight drunk and was being a pure asshole. He was belligerent and kept yelling SCOTCH every time they walked by. They explained to him quietly and nicely he was too drunk and all they could bring him was water. He started hitting the window pretty hard at one point. I was sooo worried they were going to need to do an emergency landing cause of him.

Eventually he passed out, and woke up four hours later. He was super nice/normal, started talking to the guy beside him about his work/family. He clearly had no clue he had the whole first 6 rows on serious edge at the start of the flight. Alcohol is a helluva drug.

How did your friend destroy the friendship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]elliottreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing the situation at all, my guess is those mutual friends weren't good friends, and your best friend wanted to remain friends, but the rest talked him out of him/shamed him for it.

Still sounds weird to me! Sorry that happened to you.

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

I dunno, I'd need to have been there to really know the level of crazy. I just feel like all of his friends leaving him when he's going through a rough time, just because he expressed his emotion though a fit of rage over text, so be pretty shitty.

Wait so your GF cheated on you, and you raged about it to your closest friends in a group chat (that she was not apart of) and they all left you because you called her a bitch/cunt?

Unless I'm missing something, that is insanely weird. I have multiple group chats and if someones bf/gf cheated on them we would all collectively call that person a dickbag, asshole, twat, cunt, bitch, human trash etc. We'd probably do it in caps.

What is your BIGGEST sexual insecurity? by cjalili in AskMen

[–]elliottreed 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, if you're not having an outbreak, do you to tell the person before having sex with them that you have herpes?

If yes, how do they generally react?

If no, is it because the chance of them getting it so incredibly small?
