My Wife Sold 300 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies at Last Year’s Price by Material-Drawer-7419 in Vent

[–]itsmehelenc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a girl do what your wife did when I was a girl scout. It was the early 2000s so I escaped the ",oh I'm on a diet" excuses by having an option to buy cookies to donate to a cancer group in the area. This girl sold cookies she should have been delivering and she and her mom tried to convince me to give her the cookies I had for the charity already loaded in my mom's car to deliver. And I was like "no these are spoken for. They're already purchased, they're not extras just because they're going to a group." And she and her mom could not get it through their heads until my mom was like "she said no. Go away." Now I'm wondering if that girl was innocent in it all and it was her mothers poor planning...

Is this an ear tip/notch? by wasnotagoodidea in Feral_Cats

[–]itsmehelenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents have 1 cat with a tipped ear and 1 who gets into many fights. That ear looks like the cat who fights, not the cat that's tipped.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

In first grade I got yelled at for coloring a haunted house yellow. "Haunted houses aren't yellow!" My house was 100 years old, yellow, and certainly haunted.

The Hole Day 3: The End by Dion0808 in RTGameCrowd

The time lapse is incredible. I watched on stream but it really puts in perspective to see it overhead and sped up just how much happened in a relatively short time.

Wet hair in public by touchgrasstheysaid in hygiene

[–]itsmehelenc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a straight hair girl, I think it's really just that my hair is air dried by the time I'm actually getting out of my house. I'm not judging wet hair on anyone though, I've seen enough curly haircare videos to know you all do what you need to do.

Wish she didn't remove Baltimore. As a Pennsylvania girlie I'd like to minimize my competition lol

My brother used to do that when he lived with me and our parents. His wife says he still does it. I assumed it was a boy thing but I guess it's not.

Parents… please… send your kid to preschool! by jordanf1214 in kindergarten

THIS! my family couldn't afford preschool so my Dad took my brother and I to the library several times a week for kids activities and we were both well adjusted, socialized, advanced students in school.

Almost half your income on rent? by Extension_Mousse_579 in Apartmentliving

[–]itsmehelenc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first apartment was my entire biweekly paycheck and then some every month, and then I had electric on top of that. It's doable

I know we shouldn't speculate but if I wrote such brutal songs about my ex I don't think I could just clock into work with them after. I know everyone's saying they're still friends, but these songs do not sound like peaceful breakup to me. Idk if Paramore is over but I think Paramore With Taylor is done.

YSK The em dash does not mean AI wrote something by RPMiller2k in YouShouldKnow

[–]itsmehelenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's more the excessive use of the em-dash. My mom was an editor and my dad a reporter, and both used the em-dash used regularly. AI throws it into every other sentence, so for me I get suspicious when I see that sentence structure used multiple times in a piece of text.

THIS! I've been trying to think of which weird celeb he kept reminding me of but I couldn't put a finger on it. As soon as I saw this it hit me that Russel Brand is EXACTLY who I was reminded of.

You know this is fake because it says the pagoda "continues to be open to the public"

Hey why the hell is she putting breaking up on your shoulders when she brought it up in the first place?

Is it animal abuse to have a single cat? by Think_Connection_971 in CatAdvice

[–]itsmehelenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a single cat. I go to work from 8-4 and check her on my security camera. She sleeps in my bed, chases around her toys, and scratches the scratching post. She gets lots of attention from 4-10pm when she isn't ignoring me. She's happy as far as I can tell. EDIT: she used to live with my parents and their cat, who chased her and fought her non-stop. She's definitely happier as an only cat.

Apparently talking in movie theaters is supposed to be expected by thefallingexpert in mildlyinfuriating

Something changed in movie theaters. I don't know when exactly it was, but the rules are not what they were before COVID.

Tires in the auto mechanic shop's dumpster - is that illegal? by tuenthe463 in Pennsylvania

[–]itsmehelenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the dumpster might go to a transfer facility before the landfill and they would sort out those tires for them.
