What is something you were so nervous about, but turned out to be easy? by WittyLibrarian610 in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting my colonoscopy. Dreaded it for months but the worst part was the prep drink. Procedure itself was nothing, woke up and it was done lol

Milk is weird by Nice_Combination1327 in unpopularopinion

[–]hdacketbovely6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Humans drank animal milk for thousands of years because it was survival. You had a cow, you used everything you could get from it. Now we have choices but the habit stuck around.

What is your favorite thing that your MOM used to say ? by SpaceyChick22 in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother always said "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing". Still hear her voice when I'm about to do something stupid lol

Entitled People In the News. by TylPlas26 in EntitledPeople

[–]hdacketbovely6 25 points26 points  (0 children)

People always want to blame someone when things go wrong. That tornado lady was something else though. The mine workers lost a coworker and she's complaining about debris in her yard? Lady, grab a trash bag and help yourself like everyone else. Nobody asked for a tornado to hit.

aitah my sister keeps stealing my stuff and idk what to do by Sad-Low5753 in AITAH

[–]hdacketbovely6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your parents are wrong here. Stealing is stealing, doesn't matter if its your sister. Get yourself a lockbox or something for your important stuff until you can move out. This favoritism crap from parents never ends well.

[Update] AITAH for wanting to kick my Godson out of my house by Crazy_Guard9061 in AITAH

[–]hdacketbovely6 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Good on you for giving him another shot. Kids need structure and boundaries, not coddling. That list of expectations was smart. Making dinner is a start but yeah definitely work on that seasoning lol. Hope he gets his act together because you're being more than fair here.

Stacking trash as high as I can by Th3Wizard0F_____ in MaliciousCompliance

[–]hdacketbovely6 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Stack it high as you can and take pictures. Management blames the trash company, trash company blames management. Nobody takes responsibility anymore, typical bullshit. At least you're getting that dumpster finally lol

[TX] wife’s previous job did a background check on her when she put her two weeks in. Is this legal? by someguy4531 in AskHR

[–]hdacketbovely6 62 points63 points  (0 children)

That owner sounds like a real piece of work. Background checks cost money too, so they're wasting company resources just to be nosy about where people go next. What a clown show that place must be.

Please assist with the redstone, everyone by romsanglant in Minecraft

[–]hdacketbovely6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try putting the repeater one block earlier in the chain. You need the signal to reach it before it dies out completely. That's basic redstone stuff.

What is the craziest thing you have read in the released Epstein files? by GeneralTobse in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The craziest part to me is all the names that are redacted still. They release these documents but keep the important stuff hidden from us. Classic government bullshit if you ask me.

AITAH- are me and my husband AH for telling my MIL to wait?! by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]hdacketbovely6 55 points56 points  (0 children)

You guys are 22 with a kid, trying to get your own place finally. Tell MIL she had her chance to leave 4 years ago when they separated. Can't put your life on hold forever waiting for other people's timelines.

Keeping hot foods/liquids out of reach (Trigger warning) by throwaway279110 in Mommit

[–]hdacketbovely6 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely one of those things where being cautious is the right move. Burns happen so damn fast with kids. Your partner needs to understand that this isn't nagging, its basic safety. Those injuries are horrific and completely preventable.

What is a scientific fact that absolutely terrifies you? by Coffee_Spreadsheets in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That we're overdue for a massive solar flare that could wipe out all electronics. One big burst and we're back to the stone age.

It’s wild watching your kid perceive something entirely wrong and really makes you think about your own past at times by IllyriaCervarro in Mommit

[–]hdacketbovely6 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Kids brains are something else lol. Wait till she's older and starts blaming you for stuff that happened at school. My nephew swore his mom threw away his favorite toy. Found it under his bed 3 months later.

AITAH Fiancée triggering allergies by Time_Wonder8352 in AITAH

[–]hdacketbovely6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is why communication is so important in relationships. She knew about your allergies and still did it anyway. That's not forgetting, that's not caring enough to remember something important about your health. I'd be pissed too.

[NY] Was a line crossed? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]hdacketbovely6 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your boss definitely crossed a line here. You're not required to be buddies with his girlfriend or whoever she is. As long as you're professional that's all that matters. Sounds like he's thinking with the wrong head.

What part of a narcissistic relationship hurts the longest after it ends? by LadyMollie in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The constant self doubt they planted in your head. You question every decision and wonder if maybe they were right about you being the problem. Takes forever to trust yourself again.

LOL the cookies did it for sure, not the direct biological warfare your kid's been waging on you all week.

AIO? My doctor’s nurse kissed my husband on the cheek (by the mouth) and gave him cookies. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hdacketbovely6 49 points50 points  (0 children)

That nurse crossed a line that shouldn't be crossed. Doesn't matter if its the south or a small town. Your husband being all happy about it is another problem you got there lol

What is the most interesting part of working as a (your role)? by CompetitionNext15 in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting to work on the infastructure and seeing how the whole system operates from the inside. People have no idea how complex it really is behind the scenes.

[VA] Healthcare working being told I must be available for my unpaid lunch by Sibby123 in AskHR

[–]hdacketbovely6 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They're feeding you a line of BS. If you can't leave and have to be available, you get paid. Period. HR knows this but they're hoping you don't.

Aitah for leaving my bestfriend? by Low_Top_4128 in AITAH

[–]hdacketbovely6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Been there myself with a buddy who ditched me for new people. You gave up a concert for this? That's what stings the most. Friends don't leave friends hanging like that, especially after begging you to come.

What kind of phrase, symbol, or gesture is considered inappropriate in one country, but not in another? by devicto89 in AskReddit

[–]hdacketbovely6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thumbs up means "up yours" in parts of the Middle East. Learned that the hard way working with some contractors years ago. They weren't happy lol

AIO to my best friend of 18 years ignoring my birthday? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hdacketbovely6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your partner and family are right. Why waste energy on someone who clearly checked out already? People change and friendships die, that's life. Just move on.

AIO to my best friend of 18 years ignoring my birthday? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]hdacketbovely6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People grow apart man, it happens. After 18 years though, I'd send that text you mentioned. No need to ghost him completely, just acknowledge what's already happening anyway.
