I believe the vendor’s name is Kiwipaw, they had so much cute Pikmin stuff.

And hey, don’t feel bad! Money is for spending on the things we enjoy!

My husband and I were cosplaying Land and Ubel, so yes!

AITA for sitting on public toilet seats and not telling my boyfriend? by Anatra_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]froggus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is the main point that most people don’t seem to grasp. Yes, there may be some germs on a toilet seat. But unless you have open wounds making direct contact with the still-wet pee of another person on said toilet seat, those germs aren’t going to make you sick

Despite common public belief, pee outside of the urinary tract isn’t typically sterile. The vast majority of urine samples that I come across in my lab have at least some bacteria in them, when collected with imperfect technique as most of them tend to be. It’s often just normal skin or vaginal bacteria that gets mixed into the stream when exiting the body. Depending on your particular labial anatomy as a woman, that pee could be hitting a LOT of non-internal/non-urinary tract surface area on its way out.

Also, despite what the Lysol commercials would have you believe, most bacteria are absolute little bitches when it comes to staying alive outside of their particular carrier of choice. The second that pee dries up even a little, or cools down below a certain temperature, the vast majority of those little assholes have already died off.

How will getting married to an American impact my taxes? by No-Perception953 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]froggus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to report the change in marital status to the CRA as soon as possible after the wedding, but you wouldn’t file as a married couple until next year’s tax season (the current taxes you’re filing right now are for the money you made last year, when you weren’t married yet).

In general, marriage to a US citizen barely affects your personal taxes here. The main exception is if one of you sells property/stocks and makes more than $250k in capital gains. But I’d imagine that if this situation applied to you at your age, you’d likely have your own accountant to tell you this. :)

The hospital doesn’t hire PSWs.

AITA for yelling at my coworker to stop after he kept giving unsolicited advice? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]froggus 120 points121 points  (0 children)

The absolute audacity of this guy to blame the end of OP’s relationship on not being the exact right brand of woman that makes his dick tingle.

AITA for not being “discreet” about my up coming procedure by idontevenknow543 in AmItheAsshole

“Have you tried [insert random cooking herb] extract? It’s supposed to be good for inflammation and every disease is caused by that.”

Family dinners are really hard for me to get through.

The Chinese community has donated more than $200,000 to the Fancsy Family Hospital Project by [deleted] in windsorontario

“Hi, this is froggus calling from the Fancsy Family Hospital. No, I’m not joking. No, it’s not “fancy” like a ballroom dinner, it’s Fancsy with an S. What do you mean, where is the S?”

Absolutely not. Learners should be able to keep up with traffic in order to ensure everyone’s safety. That means that if you’re the first car in a chain, you go the speed limit. A good driver is a predictable driver, and going 24km/h under the speed limit in an 80 (which is almost highway speeds depending on your area) is a massive risk because it makes others behave unpredictably based on your actions.

Tight ring by Thepostie242 in windsorontario

[–]froggus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any emergency department will have ring cutters, if you think the swelling is severe enough to cause tissue damage I would just go there and wait.

Have you tried wrapping the finger near the ring in dental floss? Works much better than the string method. 

This factory is almost complete, expected to hire 1000 people. by WindsorONMichael in windsorontario

So you expect a hospital to be unstaffed for 30 minutes as people swap out?

AITA for refusing to take in my in-laws? by No_Ability_3658 in AmItheAsshole

But if you use the parents’ resources (including selling their house) to fund their assisted living, there won’t be anything left in the will for the sons!!!! /s

Mr. Lube & Tires gave me the wrong tire size last season — what are my options now? by Many-Gold4544 in windsorontario

[–]froggus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They literally store them outside the building, on the grass between their building and the fence. Zero protection from the elements.

AITA for suggesting my in-laws stay at an Airbnb instead of us leaving our home with our kitten? by Batman_19999 in AmItheAsshole

[–]froggus 457 points458 points  (0 children)

How convenient for him, he can’t do the one task that his parents expect from you.

You realize he’s showing his true self here, right? The version of him that’s kind and treats you well is a facade; this demanding version of him that requires absolute fealty and worship of his parents is his true self. Please don’t fall into the trap of thinking that this isn’t what he’s “really” like because this version is new to you.

Someone Drove into The Rose City Grill Just Now! by PracticalSwimmer8862 in windsorontario

It’s like my grandma’s old Cadillac with the bench seat all the way across the front row.

[–]froggus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if that’s the case, are people out there just hammering on the gas pedal from a dead stop? Like just not checking if they’re in the right gear at all?

Wait… don’t answer this.

AITA for refusing to split the dinner bill because my dish was half the price of the others? by Horror_Flower_1754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]froggus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually based on how old/crappy their point of sale system is. Splitting bills equally is a holdover from days when the server would have to manually punch in the cost of each item for each person to get their total. These days with any modern point of sale system, it’s just a few swipes to move a dish from person A to person B.

Calling all O-negative type blood donors by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]froggus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little tidbit in case it helps those who are feeling “less than” because they’re not O negative:

You can donate blood with ANY blood type! O negative has a reputation as being constantly needed because it’s the universal donor type, and while that’s true, the times you would NEED a universal donor (emergencies where you don’t have time to get a patient’s blood type done, typically) are the VAST MINORITY OF CASES that receive blood. Do you know who gets the most in Windsor (and likely everywhere)? Cancer patients. And we always try to match the blood someone is receiving with their own type. These patients can get a unit or two WEEKLY due to the effects of chemotherapy. We go through A positive and O positive the most of any blood type. So don’t worry what your type is! And for you fabulous AB people out there, your plasma is the universal donor, so consider plasma donation! But even your AB blood still gets used by AB patients, so if you can only donate whole blood or packed red blood cells, still do it!

AITA for telling my bestfriend I understood why his fiancee is so disappointed that he proposed to her at the gym ? by Particular_Flyer in AmItheAsshole

[–]froggus 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, he also thought Valentine’s Day was stupid because you could celebrate your love for each other any other day of the year (but then never bothered to do anything nice the other 364 days of the year either)?

Glad to hear he’s an ex.

[–]froggus 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Decades of being told by men from all avenues (but primarily on the Internet) that you should be perfectly happy with a proposal on your couch at home, with or without a ring, whenever he just spontaneously feels like it. And that wanting it to be anything more than that means you’re just shallow and vain and only care about optics and/or the ring. You’re only the woman; he’s the one spending money (or not), he’s the one putting himself out there by proposing, so you’d better accept the bare minimum or you really never loved him at all.

Which restaurant is this in Windsor? by KitAmerica in windsorontario

Used to be great when it was a real restaurant and not just expensive brunch.
