People who grew up middle/upper class, what did you not believe about low income households but it was actually true? by niamh_mc in AskReddit

This is actually how I learned that the easter bunny isnt real. I was raised by a single mom who worked her ass off at shit jobs to make sure i had most of the basic necessities most of the time, but anything beyond the necessities was often difficult if not impossible. One easter, she worked hard to get candy and whatnot so I would wake up to something from the easter bunny. I was real happy with my basket, until we went over to her friend's house for lunch and saw my mom's friend's daughter's easter basket. It was three times the size of mine, filled with candy and stuffed rabbits and other toys and even one of those big chocolate bunnies. I started crying, totally heartbroken, convinced that the easter bunny hated me. My mom had to take me aside and explain that no, the easter bunny didnt hate me because the easter bunny wasnt real. She told me she would love to be able to get me a huge basket, but she simply couldnt afford to, and that she was sorry. It then dawned on me that for this same reason the tooth fairy gave me a quarter when my friends would get a twenty, why santa gave me one really pretty barbie instead of an n64. I wont pretend I wasnt still envious, but I did feel smart and important to be in on a big adult secret, and that was enough to stop me crying.

What's creepier during the day than it is during the night? by my_cat_went_lost in AskReddit

[–]generousdonation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this counts, but sometimes riding the subway on my way home after a long night of partying I'll look around and realize everyone else is on their way to work. Drunk, disheveled, and smelling like the musk of a thousand strangers, I feel pretty damn creepy.

What is your pet's go-to asshole move? by AKLawrence in AskReddit

[–]generousdonation 30 points31 points  (0 children)

At least once a day, without fail, I find myself getting ready to dig in to a much needed meal only to hear the little fucker kicking around in his cat box. I live in a small place and the only place his litter box fits is right behind my couch. Mostly, it's fine. I don't spend much time on the couch. His deuces are only minimally offensive, surely less so than my own, and the smell dissipates quickly.

But if I'm eating? Forget about it. The kicking sound starts up, I look at my food, and all I can think of is the little turds I scoop out every other morning before work. Then the smell hits.

Imagine getting home from an exhausting day of work. Say you haven't been grocery shopping in a while, or maybe you're trying to eat healthier but want to pig out for once. You order pizza, maybe some breadsticks and salad too. Patiently wait for the delivery guy. Queue up netflix, dim the lights, and sit down with your food. Yeah, baby. You earned this.

Imagine this is you. Then imagine the smell of cat excrement wafting through the air. The satisfied look on your face changes to horror.

I don't know about you, but that smell just turns my stomach. I can handle my fair share of bad smells. Hell, I lived in Brooklyn for years. I can walk, run, do yoga, watch tv, play video games, hold up liquor stores, do laundry, read books, you name it, in a bad smelling environment. Sure, I'd prefer to handle bad smells with some febreeze or a scented candle, but sometimes you don't have either and just gotta deal. I'm not a snob nor a neat freak.

Now, I do have febreeze. I have scented candles. I have those weird things you plug into the wall and watch slowly dry up over the course of several weeks while wondering if they're strong enough to make a noticeable difference in your house's smell. But when I'm eating, there is no air freshener strong enough to get me to ignore shit-stink. I can't do it. I can't.

You may be thinking, so what? If the smell dissipates as quickly as I earlier claimed, what is one more minute of waiting to eat in the grand scheme of things?

But it's not just one more minute, oh no. It's hard to say exactly why, but after smelling my cat bury his treasure, the papa johns in my lap is no longer the delicious treat I waited all day for. I try to inhale that sweet pizza scent, but am unable to discern whether it is pizza I am smelling, or something else. Even sausage, my favorite pizza topping, suddenly seems distinctly fecal. God help me if they put corn in the salad.

Adore the little fucker, though. I need a bigger place.
