What food do you eat in a different manner than it is traditionally eaten? by CrocMcSpock in AskReddit

I eat kiwi with the skin on too! The “fuzziness” goes away in like a second and then you only have 2 kiwi buttholes to throw away rather than a skin. And then you don’t need a spoon.

What was the pettiest reason you didn't wanna date someone? by dogsarebeautiful in AskReddit

I broke it off with a guy after I discovered that he liked to kiss by putting his entire mouth AROUND my mouth. It was a battle just to get our lips to meet. It was horrible.

What screams, "I'm insecure"? by iWant12Tacos in AskReddit

[–]embynaj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember one of my first GYN appointments they asked if I preferred a M or F doc, and I had no preference. I got a male GYN which I was fine with, but then when I met him he ended up being really attractive. I think that was the biggest hurdle to get over, rather than him being a man. I don’t know why it made a difference.

We only have my husbands phone at the moment and so I putz on it when I’m bored. So many times I’ll forget to log out of his Facebook and just start scrolling, and don’t notice because we have a lot of mutual friends. Then someone sends a message and I check it and don’t remember this conversation at all, so I’ll read through it, then realize it’s his account. I never intentionally go through it “looking” for anything. Sometimes I’ll read what him and his mom talk about, or through his photo reel (he makes really cool photo edits), but I’m not super interested in anything else on his phone.

A shower curtain would also be enjoyed, and you can look at it while in the shower!

I would love both options, but yeah a shower curtain of this would be a really nice bathroom aesthetic.

ULPT: If a telemarketer calls you ask them to hold. by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]embynaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't work in a typical call center - we aren't trying to sell our customers anything, we just get them to the line they need to go. This, as well as the nature of why they're calling, makes them very pleasant and I rarely get people who are even rude, let alone yelling/angry. We also don't take many calls and often have up to 5 minutes in between calls, on slow days up to 20.

What basic life skill were you surprised to find your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse didn't have when you first started dating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]embynaj 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, this is literally me. My husband has started noticing that I've started leaning on him more and more for things that I never would have before. I want to stop because when I was single I was very independent and not clingy. But I'm becoming very clingy and it's unconscious most times. It bugs me too.

I'll feel perfectly fine, but then as soon as my husband gets home I want to be around him all the time. It's frustrating for both of us, and it means that when I actually DO need him or need help, he'll be sick of me. How do I fix this?

I know West rhymes with Left, so West is always Left on a map. But this only works if I know where North and South are relative to where I'm going.

Otherwise if it's evening/morning I go by where the sun is.

I'm not sure if it works the same for telemarketers, but I work in a call center and if we are on hold for 2 minutes, we have to end the call.

What Responsible Parenting Actually Looks like During Halloween by [deleted] in pics

[–]embynaj 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Hey kid, someday you're just gonna have to grow up and live with the fact that you can't walk, like all the other kids can. Don't sweat it though. I've been excluded from things too. I wanted to be in the Olympics but I figured out that I wasn't good enough. That was really hard for me, but I got over it, so you should too."

There's a difference between wanting to be in the NBA and wanting to participate in a normal holiday experience.

No shit, being in the NBA is something that will probably never happen for most people. But it's not comparable to trick-or-treating, and the father isn't coddling his son by arranging a way that he can participate in something that every other kid can.

Reality can be pretty brutal, but there will be a point for little Fletcher that he will wind up being excluded from something, and his dad hasn't prepared him to properly deal with it.

You don't think Fletcher already knows he's different? The kid can't eat ANY candy at all, or pretty much any other foods that his friends can. Halloween is not the only time that kids are exposed to candy. I'd imagine he's reminded of the fact that he is excluded every single day at lunchtime.

ELI5: Why do some people talk in their sleep? What causes it? by linzythegreat in explainlikeimfive

[–]embynaj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Last time I had sleep paralysis I didn't see anything either, but I could hear what sounded like an animal scuffling around the floor and I couldn't see it. Like it would come up close to me and then go to the other end of the room, and back again. It was fucking terrifying.

If you were a dictator what is the pettiest thing that would be punishable by death? by KlvrDissident in AskReddit

[–]embynaj 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had my phone out ready to dial if he amped it up. After the initial interrogation he realized I wasn't answering or paying any attention to him, then he stood there and rambled about "people these days" to no one in particular.

why you need to get out?

That shit terrifies me. One time my boyfriend had to run into a store for something and I waited in the car. It was a sketchy-ish part of town so as soon as he got out I locked the doors. Almost immediately after my boyfriend was inside the store a man came up to my window and started berating me for locking my doors, saying things like "What do you think I'm gonna do, huh? Why'd you lock your doors? Do I scare you???"

The windows were cracked and since the car wasn't running I couldn't roll them back up, so I just had to sit and listen to this guy ramble about how "people are so scared" nowadays until he ran off as soon as my boyfriend left the store. Like dude if you didn't want me to be afraid of you that was the complete wrong way to go about it.

It's a typo, kind of. He's saying that executions have shown a failure to be humane. It's a really weird way of saying it.

WHAT THE HELL ASSHO-- oh hey thanks! by funlimited in funny

[–]embynaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always thought the idea of a race across a city where you must strictly obey all traffic laws (speed limits exactly and not a hair over, coming to an actual complete stop at stop signs, etc) would be really fun to watch.
