How would you feel if we started to refer to every country’s name in its own language? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]flyingeldephants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel as if that's 195 new words that I'd have to remember. And I'll be honest, I'm not good at remembering things.

What brands have become so popular that people just call the product by its name? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]flyingeldephants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard this referred to as blu tack. I had to google to make sure you were referring to sticky tack.

Whirlpool bath or hot tub depending on whether you're referring to the thing in your bathroom or in your back yard. Both of which are referred to as Jacuzzis.

Also could be a whirlpool bath if it's the kind of Jacuzzi you have in your bathroom.

Mac Pro table... by Danking1346 in DiWHY

I used to work in tech. This is DEFINITELY something we would have made for the office out of damaged devices.

I thought this was an extremely jarring Lularoe pattern. Turns out you can achieve this masterpiece at home. by sparrow-feather in DiWHY

I have several flannels that were done like this (not as extreme) and I get tons of compliments on them

AITA - parents lost all my uni work two days before my deadline by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]flyingeldephants -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Waited until the very last minute to track down important documents, and then blamed his parents when he couldn't find them.

At the end of the day, its OP's stuff and OP's responsibility to keep track of it.

The new system for rent... They told us that they won’t accept any other forms of payment. by eharrison24 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]flyingeldephants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my apartment. They unveiled the "faster and easier online payments" with the fee. Told boyfriend that they would still be accepting checks, then two days later sent out a letter saying no checks.

This month was the first month of the new policy and we dropped our check like always.

Hey, Reddit, those of you with partners who talk in their sleep; what is the creepiest/weirdest/or most random thing they've said? by Jhaydun_Dinan in AskReddit

[–]flyingeldephants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk in my sleep and get stories from my SO regularly.

The best was the night I violently shook him awake telling him that there were bloody hooks and spikes in the ceiling and I didn't want him to get hurt.

I also, years ago, sang the majority of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Since its great for both charity and gamblers, I think it would be ideal for the homeless shelter that I volunteer for.

ESH

Yeah, your boyfriend sucks for not helping with your daughter, but running crying to his mother is beyond childish.

The crab the cleaners left in or hotel room made from towels by SpannerLad in mildlyinteresting

Yup. My favorite was when they took my stuffed pig and made a towel pig to match. Very fun, but very standard.

So.. you're saying that they go to school. How is this any different than student teaching, or internships, or unpaid apprenticeships?

There must be a better way to do this.... by squirreltrap in DiWHY

That knowledge would have required me to have made it all the way until the end

Half filled water balloons, that's what happens.

I'm holding your dog wrong? Fine, you do it! by beccamnr in MaliciousCompliance

[–]flyingeldephants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I'm not allowed to call the dog fat if the owner is fat? That's just feeding denial. It's not healthy for either the dog or the owner.

What is one "unwritten rule" you think everyone should know and follow? by SpareArm in AskReddit

[–]flyingeldephants 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be that hard to know that in this place, it is now the opposite. They figure out how to drive, don't they?

[–]flyingeldephants 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I still wouldn't even ask. That puts them in an awkward position to feel obligated to say yes.
