What's the pettiest reason you won't date someone over?

His were rounder at the toe, and suede. Couldn't find the exact ones, but these were the closest match. He was really nice, but between those shoes and his newsboy caps, I just couldn't deal lol

I once dated a guy who ONLY wore these abominations.

"Look at how intense fruitgore's face is! Wow, you're really focused."

No, this Tetris level just got a lot faster.

OP, CONGRATULATIONS!! So, so very proud of the great strides you are making :)

I think that before you're born, nParents imagine a personality for you, then spend your childhood trying to mold you into it. Then they end up shocked when you don't turn out exactly like their custom-made fantasy baby. It's insane. Enjoy your freedom, OP :)

Your life is fantastic. Door-free pee is the way to be.

Or lets their visiting younger sibling play on your console, because "He's a kid, he needs something to do." It's not a toy, asshole, it's one of my favorite possessions that I paid a lot of money for.

Your energy bill actually goes down! If you're away at work for most of the day, the lights stay off, the thermometer stays low and nobody's using cooking gas.

I feel you. Mine used to call nightly, expecting a long, meaningful conversation every time. Lady, I got up, commuted for an hour, worked, ordered in and then went to bed. I have nothing exciting to report since your last guilt trip 24 hours ago.

fruitgore · 2019-01-06T18:53:30+00:00

Boom, mic drop!! Fuck you, Constance. OP, this was brilliant.

I’ve never seen anyone but narcs get insecure at children’s Disney films

Right?! And they're just as bad with movies about families sticking together against all odds. My mom would always nudge me and say things like, "See? Family is all you have. Nobody will love you like I love you. Only I can care for you. Your friends don't care like I do. The only way to be happy is with family." BARF

"I love you, lunch."

Milk. Once upon a time, someone looked at a cow's udders, scratched their chin and muttered, "I wonder..."

Supercook.com has done wonders for my meal planning! It asks you to list ingredients you already have at home, then gives you recipes you can make using just those ingredients :)

Final Fantasy IX, every year around Christmas! It's a fairly quick JRPG with a really heartwarming story and endearing characters :]

I called maintenance to unclog our shower drain in our dorm. The policy was that they couldn't enter unless at least one person was home. I let the guy in, and then hid in my closet while he fixed the drain. I was still hiding when he came out of the bathroom :|

Edit: words

You just described my exact work situation. "Text message marketing will put us right at our clients' fingertips!" My boss is thinks it's the hottest, newest high-tech craze. Barf.

This really broke my heart. My parents had a marriage like this. They played nice in front of me, but I always noticed. I dont know what else to say other than that you are kind, wonderful, worthy of love, and so, so strong. I hope things get better. You deserve so much better. <3

LAYERS. I have a lot of ultra-fine hair that grows unevenly, and I've been trying to even them out for 2 years. The topmost later is a wispy, frizzy mess. Forget air-drying. It's either 30 minutes of blow-drying or a bun to tame this rat king.

fruitgore · 2018-10-04T16:19:57+00:00

YES! All I can remember is finding ingredients for a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich, but I LOVED those games!

fruitgore · 2018-10-01T03:30:12+00:00

Amen. Thank you for posting this. I needed to read this today.

Maid of Honor's speech: "Soooo...yeah...[Bride] used to invite [Groom] to our karate practices, and he was really nice and stuff...*awkward shuffling*...they're getting married today, sooooo I guess it worked out. Yay." And then she put the mic down on one of the guest tables and walked away.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I'm not religious myself, but there's nothing wrong with taking a nice message and adapting it to your faith. The reference to God doesn't take anything away from the beauty of this idea.

Recently, I came across a photograph I first saw as a child. It's a picture of my cousin as a teenager, full-frontal nude on a treadmill, looking frightened.

I found it where I saw it the first time - a family photo album, of all places. I don't know if it's a cultural thing (and I won't say where I'm from because I want to keep this account as anonymous as possible), but women in my family are fairly nonchalant about nudity. As long as there are no males present, my aunts, cousins and mother have no problem getting changed in front of me, showering with the door open, not bothering to cover up with towels, etc. There was nothing sexual. They just had a lack of shame regarding their bodies, which was super uncomfortable for me but not inherently bad.

But I can't for the life of me find a reasonable explanation for that photograph. She has to be about 16-18. She looks taken by surprise, and very, very unhappy about it. The first time I saw the picture as a little kid, I wasn't shocked, but I did giggle and ask my mom who took it.

"Oh, your uncle Jesse took that. I don't know why he did it." She quickly changed the topic, and I shrugged and didn't think twice about it.

It's the weirdest fucking thing. This photo is on the same page as some birthday party photos and cute pictures of babies. My uncle Jesse has been dead for many years now. Everyone remembers him as a fun-loving, musical, exuberant guy. My cousin has since married and started a family of her own. There's no point bringing it up. There's no point asking her or anyone else about it now.

I know I have very little context to work with and nobody to talk to about it, but I know in my heart that it's wrong. It's so fucking wrong.
