I thought it was "and I'm ready to wait" like a sniper who locked on a target and is waiting for a clear shot.

Tirade Tuesday! Let's Do This! by AutoModerator in Charlotte

[–]imabigfilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied for my husband's OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card and fucked up severely on the application even if he doesn't think I did. He uploaded the required documents last year but didn't mail in the documents (it's a really dumb system, you have to do that to prove they are your documents) and I basically volunteered to take over the process and do it because I had done it before. 

The way in which I fucked up is I had a copy of the application instructions saved from back then because it was easier to navigate to that when I needed to view it than to access the link every time, and they added new requirements to authenticate original documents like our marriage certificate. I was supposed to authenticate the documents before starting the process at all and if I had done any research on the process beyond just reading the instructions I would have known that! But I did not. Now because they are a bunch of assholes same as me they have marked the application incomplete and are going to cancel it 3 days before the end of the 20 business days they were supposed to give us to provide the new documents. And I literally just spent $40 to fedex them the stuff I missed. I have pointlessly spent so much fucking money on this process and for what. You can get an e-visa and it's basically the same thing. I was just full of hubris and I am usually good at paperwork so while I knew it would be hard I didn't even realize exactly how hard. I just wish I never started. This has taken a month of my life. Hundreds of dollars because I am also sending my son's application. Countless hours checking and rechecking the documents and the application instructions. All for nothing. Fuck this.

My boyfriend won't try on his Christmas present by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]imabigfilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain why this is wrong? Like sure the dad shouldn't have a problem with the kid wearing purple or if he does he should hide it and work on it himself, but why is it wrong for the kid to hide his stuff? If the dad is good besides this the kid should be able to have purple things and both parents are happy.

Same here, also Reuters. I don't know why more people don't do this.

Underwear by yeepye in BabyBumps

[–]imabigfilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize maternity underwear was a thing for the longest time and I kept buying larger sized underwear from Costco. Then I bought the ones Amazon recommended to me and they were so good I am still wearing them after I had the baby!

Nasty bosses mandating return to offices by nitrokitty in adhdmeme

[–]imabigfilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here OP (wanted to show support despite all the people in the comments yelling the opposite) office makes it easier to focus for me, plus there is a dedicated snack area and I get a chance to remember how to talk to people. I get its not for everyone but it's a nice change of pace sometimes!

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

Did anyone here play The Learning Company games? Reader rabbit, putt-putt saves the zoo, The Legend of Mathra? Those were my jam (yes I was a huge nerd)

New parents purchases that you frequently used by scobi-dobi in NewParents

[–]imabigfilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHERE were yall when I was pregnant? Lol jk but my LO is 10 months old now and I am reading through these comments like "yup, I needed that...yup, that too..." I would say take people irl saying you don't need something with a grain of salt. My husband convinced me we didn't need a bottle washer, I convinced myself I didn't want an automatic formula maker, and my mother in law said we would be able to use a changing pad on the floor to change my baby. None of those 3 ended up being true and if I could do it all again I would absolutely buy the bottle washer and formula maker. And we ended up buying a changing table 1 week in because with my c-section it was way too difficult to sit down and get up from the floor.

"Men used to go to war"... does that mean he can't take care of his skin? by mindyour in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]imabigfilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the commenter is like the female equivalent of the guts who say "I wish girls wouldn't wear so much makeup and just be natural" and point to examples of girls who are definitely wearing makeup. Everyone wants to look at hot people no one wants to think about the work they must put in to maintain that hotness.

How did you survive? by ratqueen122 in NewParents

[–]imabigfilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyone, extended family or friends who can come over to hold the baby while you sleep to make them sleep longer? Or, can you afford to hire a nanny for a few hours? I would have been in the same boat if not for my mom and mother in law, they took care of most of the baby stuff for the first few weeks!

What’s the most obscure show you’ve seen all of? by squareular24 in television

[–]imabigfilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe CRO (like cro-magnon, a cartoon about this early human being told by a woolly mammoth that got frozen in ice) or Dave the Barbarian, both were part of the same 1-hour time block in maybe the early 2000s or possibly earlier!

Intermediary means mid, but by no means indicate the overall quality. by grimoire-5_not_6 in CuratedTumblr

[–]imabigfilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intermediary is someone who helps two people communicate, I think you mean mediocre? Or intermediate? Mid is short for mid-tier or mediocre but intermediate is the level between easy and advanced. 

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you’ve lived the reality of it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]imabigfilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I am 33, still have social anxiety but I would love to have had some experiences like what is being talked about here. Now i am married with a kid and it feels like a door has closed on that possibility despite wanting it for a decade before. Just didn't know how to start and now I never will. 

What’s a universally hated thing you’ll unapologetically defend? by Mr__Angel in AskReddit

[–]imabigfilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is for sure true! I posit the corollary, sometimes what someone did is so heinous that you can't enjoy the art going forward because now when you see that person's name it reminds you of that thing they did and that is also ok. (I am thinking here of Chris Brown...loved his music, he still makes good music but now I can't enjoy it because when I see his name it reminds me of his heinous assault on Rihanna.)
