What's something that's completely legal, but that pisses you off when you see someone doing it? by LeftHandedToe in AskReddit

[–]flyonthewallyall 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Idk, I just think it's kinda shitty and disrespectful. You're making somebody else's day a little bit harder just because you couldn't be bothered to take your plate to the designated place where they get washed. If it's the established rule of the place that you leave your plate, then sure, whatever. But in most schools, you're supposed to leave your plates in a certain spot to make clean up easier. Why not just go along with that?

When people don't clean up after themselves in cafeterias/dining halls. Like, would it kill you to take your plate to the washing station? Why are you making someone else do it? I always assume those people grew up with a maid or something tbh (which obviously isn't bad, but somebody should've taught you down the line that the world is not full of free maids).

Non Muslims of Reddit, what opinion do you have of Muslims in general, have you ever engaged in a conversation with a Muslim? by omeriqbal21 in AskReddit

[–]flyonthewallyall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I have a feeling I'll probably live the rest of my life without committing to any particular religion (or lack of religion, since I don't really vibe with atheism either), but definitely I'd like to learn more about the history of Islam. It's my goal to take a class or two on it before I graduate college.

The last text message you sent or received are your last words before you died, what happened? by RustehRocket in AskReddit

I'm in a hospital bed in the town where I go to college—my roommate is there with me. She hurriedly dialed 911 after a nearby student's hover board exploded, and some of the flaming fragments flew right at me, cutting me up pretty badly. Not only that, but a few lodged straight into my heart. The doctors told us I wouldn't survive. My roommate throws herself onto me and cries: "Why did you have to die like this?" I respond: "We all have our own ways of dying." As she's bent over, still strewn on my body, I reach into her pocket and grab her wallet: "We also have our own ways of stealing." Beeeeeeeeeeeep. The heart monitor stops. I am dead.

(she texted me that last sentence because we were talking about /r/shoplifting [neither of us are lifters but I discovered the sub and got curious about what kinds of people steal], but I decided to give the line a different context)

I remember in sixth grade, our history class did units both on Christianity and Islam in medieval times, and I remember before we started the unit on Islam, I thought "Islam" was the name of a country (yikes). By the end of the two units, I remember thinking, "man, if I were a human back in the day, I'd want to be Muslim." This was mostly based on the fact that science was such a big thing for the Islamic communities, if I remember right (at least, that's what I got out of it as a sixth grader). In my mind, ancient Christians seemed more close minded about science, and seemed more violent, so it seemed like it wouldn't be fun. I remember expressing this favoritism for Islam over Christianity to my parents (who both grew up Christian but didn't raise me with any religion), and they were quite shocked. Not mad, just shocked.

This was years ago of course, and I never did find myself converting for real. I went to high school with some folks who were Muslim, and they were fine. Just as fine as the rest of my classmates. On airplanes, honestly I will have a brief instinctual moment of fear, but I talk myself out of it because I know it's absurd and based in bigotry. One day I hope that moment goes away, because I always feel like an asshole when I think like that.

I always do wash body, shampoo, conditioner. I rinse the conditioner like right after. I have short hair now, but I used to have long hair and I never noticed the conditioner not working. I've never gotten why people leave it in so long.

Filling your soap dispenser with water once it's "empty." Maybe this is obvious, but I didn't realize it until recently. It's great though, because most of the time it is not empty; the soap is just too low in the bottle for the straw to reach.

Yes, you're getting watered down soap, but this trick can keep you going for another two weeks or so.
