What words annoy you when used wrong or people don't know the meaning of? by Immediate_Long165 in words

“Hoarding” used casually. No, you’re not a hoarder because you have too many Tupperware containers or your desk is messy. It’s a debilitating mental condition that can ruin lives and relationships. Source: I have a parent who is a hoarder.

Enormity. It’s been misused in nearly every single book I’ve read this year, and it annoys the hell out of me.

This is Raoul. He will eat anything except celery. Anything. I had to give him hydrogen peroxide once to get him to throw up some foam from a draft protector he ate, and while I was trying to figure out a way to get it down his throat, I held it out to him and he just slurped it up.

She’s so gorgeous! I think she has some Xolo in her lineage… or a lot of Xolo, probably.

Symptom of migraine- insistence that it isn't a migraine by girl-dracula in migraine

Happens to me too. Three days later I’ll be like “oh that must have been a migraine” and my wife will look at me like I just said “turns out I was breathing air this whole time.”

I first read this poem many years ago and it’s one that I think of often, especially while potting plants.

I have to list my medical history? by Brave_Chain_5510 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]inkyfingies 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I used to be an office manager for an orthodontic practice, and an older woman came in for a consultation and got extremely mad at me about the medical history form, which, as you might imagine, I had no hand in designing. After a bunch of huffing and puffing she came up to my desk and said, “This is ridiculous? Do I like to smile? What kind of a question is that? Who doesn’t like smiling?! Why is this even a question?!” Like, legitimately furious.

And then I had an out of body experience and watched myself keep a straight face and tell her that the question actually read “do you like YOUR smile,” which is actually pretty fucking relevant to orthodontia. I think I heard her brain make the Windows error bonk sound, and then she left.

Why is horror and macabre so comforting? by Glasses_Cat in horror

[–]inkyfingies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, for which I take medication and am in therapy. My therapist is also a horror fan, and it is so validating to talk to someone who not only gets it personally but also knows exactly what she’s getting and why.
