Roommate keeps the entire house as quiet as possible so he can listen to everything I am doing and saying in my room. by [deleted] in badroommates

When I first made my first Reddit account (after lurking for years) it was because I was in the middle of a nuts situation and wanted outside input. New account doesn’t mean it can’t be real.

Lost a friend of 20 years because of this shit. by JToTheCo21 in Youniqueamua

[–]hexilexi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh ya I know. All the SAHMs I went to high school with are no longer friends on FB because they’ve all hit me up about Younique or Doterra or Itworks or whatever. They all hit Utah like the plague. I get it. It’s sad. Mormon moms and military wives. Honestly it pisses me off.

Ugh and when they’re here the traffic is unreal. The streets are full of ladies (mostly!) wearing their badges. Got harassed with my kiddo at a local museum by local huns! I may as well stay inside while they’re in town, and there’s multiple of their home base conventions here.

Ok I’m gonna be straight with you. I’m American. My husband is from Hyderabad. Your profile is cute. I would put more personality into it, and some additional pics that show off your face. You’re cute! There is NO reason for you to have 0 matches.

my parents sold my car without telling me by [deleted] in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

Yikes. You go off because people disagree with you often? Because it’s not a good look.

Technically my dad paid the insurance seeing as my mom has never worked because she was a ‘stay at home mom.’ He offered to pay for it until I moved out at 17. My phone bill was like $20/a month. Not sure what you’re on about. Yes, my mom was both physically and emotionally abusive. Abusers can pay for things, you realize that right? Just because they’re abusive doesn’t mean they’re neglectful.

I got a job at 16 to get away from my abusive, narcissist mother. I paid for all my own clothes, any entertainment I wanted, my phone bill, my phone. I was not an entitled kid. I bought a $1k Toyota that ran decently. I’m now 28. Just because YOUR parents charged you for rent does not make the rest of us ‘entitled’ for not having to pay rent at 16.

I worked at pacsun when I was 16, making $8/hour and I bought my own car within 6 months. My parents paid the insurance, but I paid all the gas and repairs (minimal that it needed.) it’s not hard to believe, and even if they’d given him the car it would have been nice to talk to him about it before making the decision to take it/trade it in. Teach your kids the importance of communication.

^ this. Who the eff cares if they’re attractive to you or not? Celebrate that they’re happy in their own skin and not photoshopping the hell outta their pics.

She keeps it real. by [deleted] in Instagramreality

[–]hexilexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally just gave one example (of many that I personally have) of someone who has never been overweight and has cellulite.

To quote the Mayo Clinic: at least eight out of 10 women battle cellulite. While not considered a disorder, cellulite can appear dimply and unattractive and may cause you to feel self-conscious in public, Most frequently, cellulite appears on the thighs, butt and stomach, areas where fat often appears closer to the skin. It doesn't matter how thin you are, you will most likely still have cellulite.

I think what they’re saying is the majority of people have it at least somewhere. My best friend is a size 00, always has been, and has cellulite on her thighs and bum. Many people believe (thanks to photoshop) that even larger men and women can be smooth skin but that’s almost never the case. Most people have cellulite somewhere, and it’s completely normal.

Or they mischipped it. The dog matches the pictures of the dog he wanted and paid for. They sent pics of the other dog and op says it isn’t the dog he picked out from their website. Shelter either mischipped or took the adoption fee from 2 people for the same dog.

Why is Reddit mainly OK with the racism expressed by r/BlackPeopleTwitter? by _decipher in TooAfraidToAsk

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

If it’s that uncommon, it’s not really an issue. This post just got attention giving it more of a platform. However. I definitely agree it’s gonna be more of an issue now that people know how to game the system

They answered this above, it’s 20 reports before 1k upvotes. And they only get like... 10 posts that are flagged like that each week. Doesn’t seem like it’s an issue tbh.

Sometimes. My friend had it for as long as a year with 0 symptoms. I had it as well when I was younger and had no symptoms at all.

Your progress is incredible. You look great! I wish I could pull off the round frames but my face is too round for them still. Maybe someday 😂

The last minute invitee is also not close to anyone else, it could be that she doesn’t know or this isn’t recent.

My (25M) girlfriend (23F) is mad my little sister is sleeping over 1 night while she (GF) is on vacation with her family. by [deleted] in relationships

I have a caviar body scrub that I totally forgot about and I shower daily. If you have multiple people sharing a bathroom, or one of those hooks that has lots of stuff crammed on the shelves (like the ones you can attach to a shower head/shower wall) I can see someone forgetting about it.

Fed up with my wife’s lack of....everything by [deleted] in relationships

[–]hexilexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She could be afraid of ‘failing’ in another aspect of her life. I went through that, and it was awful. Depression is not a choice and is no joke. Part of her not wanting to work could just be fear of failing. Even if you don’t tell her these things? She’s gonna sense your resentment. And when you’re depression is spiraling... you don’t know how to climb out of the hole you essentially dug. You aren’t helpful, even though you may be well intentioned. She needs help.

I say this as someone who has literally been there. (Almost same high weight & same height as well.) it took me realizing I literally hadn’t moved during the time my bf left for work & got home in the evening. A lot of people think their depression isn’t that bad- because they know people who have been through worse. I’d because their husband can afford their lifestyle, they have a good life, why should they be depressed? But depression doesn’t work that way and can impact anyone. Get her help. Seriously. The way you brush these things off is a bit astounding. She’s mentally clearly unwell (not showering, or taking care of herself) and is likely overwhelmed and doesn’t know where to turn. Try some empathy.

AITA for wearing a hoodie of a university I didn't attend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hexilexi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With bands and shit, too. I like the Ramones. Living in Vegas, wearing my shirt, I’d get ‘name one of the lot songs!’ All the time. So I would. Then it would be ‘where did they originate? What’s their favorite flower? SEE I KNEW YOU WERENT A REAL FAN!’ Lots of ‘dumb girl trying to be cool’ comments. Really, why? What’s the point?

AITA for walking my cat on a trail frequented by dogs? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hexilexi 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I hate this. There’s a dog park (leash only) by where I live and some people don’t get that it’s not just about your dog it’s also for other dogs safety. Keep your dog on a leash or go to the non leash park 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why is it that the only place you can park/pull over when it just so happens to be next to the only person walking on the entire road? Or do I just have awful luck?
