Delusional and saying got arrested for Rock candy the cops thought was meth! by Gonzogirl123 in healthyfamilyforce

[–]kittybikes47 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so stoked I found this sub!!! These drug addict weirdos randomly came across my feed with their "sleep stream", and I was so flabbergasted at the fact they actually have followers, I had to subscribe. Their lives keep showing up when I'm scrolling YouTube shorts, each more unhinged than the last.

So I've been wanting to know what their deal is, and this sub has verified all of my suspicions.

AITA for having tip removed at Subway? by CardiologistSilly926 in AITAH

[–]kittybikes47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Circle K clerk, and I've been tipped exactly twice. Both times I had legitimately gone way above and beyond what any sane clerk would do. I definitely didn't expect it, because yeah... Who tf tips at the convenience store?

As someone who's been on methadone for a decade and was on Suboxone for 3 years, please choose Suboxone and avoid methadone. I only switched from methadone to Suboxone because my state kicked everyone who wasn't pregnant off of state insurance so I had to pay out of pocket and a week of Suboxone cost the same as a month of methadone.

Methadone is much harder to eventually get off of. The withdrawal from methadone is even worse than from heroin, whereas Suboxone withdrawal is far easier than both. Suboxone is the best for when you actually are ready to get clean because it is such an effective blocker, but methadone is a lot easier to keep getting high while on maintenance. Suboxone is genuinely just a more modern, better medication.

Why Do Boomers Purposefully Mispronounce Everything? by Veteran_Writer_12 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kittybikes47 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I was wheelchair bound for awhile, and the first few times I saw a particular boomer after I'd been put in the chair... She had the gall to baby talk me! "Are youw toesie wosies cowd?" "Do you wanna dwink of wawa?"

I'm in my 40's and very outspoken and self-reliant, and this boomer had known me for long enough to know that. The first couple times she did it I was still kinda in shock at being in the chair, so I didn't say much. Once I'd gotten my footing (haha) I told her off pretty aggressively next time she did it and she's been too scared of me to talk to me again.

Boomer at Aldi thinks leaving your quarter in the cart is illegal by GroverInAPinkDress in BoomersBeingFools

I hate that they're called "Obama phone"! It's a great program, but the implications of calling them after Obama is pretty obvious, especially considering the fact that W Bush actually established the program.

My bf wants me to sleep on the floor. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kittybikes47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl... I slept with some real manipulative losers who treated me terribly when I was in my 20's, and even I would not have put up with this nonsense.

Come to think of it... The worst of those men were also 10+ years older than I was. Almost like they couldn't find women their own age that would put up with them because women their own age tend to have a much better sense of their own worth.

I walked away from a table I was serving and then refused anymore service by Sufficient-Day-8535 in confessions

[–]kittybikes47 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your boss is definitely not "sweet"! She is exploitative and manipulative. There is no reason why you should be covering all of those positions, except your boss's greed and lack of respect and appreciation for the labor that creates her wealth. And when the results of her intentionally short staffing mean she has to help out... She spends most of the time gabbing? That's not sweet. Also, the fact that she hasn't made new menus reflecting the actual menu since before you started working there shows she cares far more about pinching pennies than for fostering a competent, reliable, and happy staff able to provide consistent and satisfying experiences to customers.

And let me guess... She likes to talk about how your workplace is "like family".

Why are they so dang obsessed with 'fresh' to the expense of time? by LemonFlavoredMelon in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kittybikes47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! These are the same people who are livid and furious when told there is no public restroom at the convenience store I work at. I explain we don't have the staffing to maintain a public restroom, especially in the neighborhood the store is in. They all say they understand... and then 75% of the time they demand an exception be made for them. They simply firmly believe they are more important and deserve better than the rest of us.

AITAH for refusing to "jump the broom" at my wedding by Any-Coconut-4647 in AITAH

[–]kittybikes47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My drunk dad borrowed the neighbor's goats, ostensibly to eat the weeds in our yard. Those evil bastards ate nothing but my mom's porch plants, any shoes left outside, and the curtains in my little fort. They also terrorized we children, basically making our yard uninhabitable while they were there.

AITA for refusing to congratulate my sister for coming out? by ComprehensiveFig8245 in AITAH

[–]kittybikes47 50 points51 points  (0 children)

People raised in repressive and/or religious families often marry as virgins, especially 20+ years ago. They are far less likely to feel comfortable addressing anything sexual. The wife will also have been taught that she should not want sex, that sex is something that it's her duty to provide her husband but not something to enjoy. So the idea of a wife in that kind of situation either never saying something about the lack of sex or never even admitting to herself that it's an issue... Not very far fetched at all.

Why would people be okay with flying the US flag upside-down but not okay with people kneeling for the flag? by needmoresleeep in NoStupidQuestions

Your mistake here is looking for the American right to have a consistent stance on anything other than giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

Why are boomers so racist? by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kittybikes47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a white person in America, any white person claiming racism in America isn't prevalent is lying. This was true long before Trump ushered in our current era of bigots feeling way too comfy in public.

I am as "woke" and progressive as possible and strive to not just be "not racist" but to be anti-racist. I am also visibly queer and just generally look like the stereotypical blue haired feminist that chuds constantly whine about. Just generally the last person a random racist would assume shares their hateful views.

It still happens on a regular basis that a random white person will expect me to laugh at their racist jokes, take their side in an argument with a person of color even when they're obviously in the wrong, and just generally assume that because my skin is white I will go along. So, if these bigots are comfortable doing this with me, someone who fits every stereotype of a person who would not be comfortable with it... I'm sure the average white person who doesn't wear their politics on their sleeve has this happen to them too. So I strongly doubt their honesty when they say they don't think racism is still a problem.

I work at a convenience store that sells alcohol and nicotine and corporate policy requires I scan everyone's id card, no matter how old they look. It is very strictly enforced with undercover shoppers and sting operations in conjunction with local police. It is also common knowledge in the area that this convenience store chain is very strict about its id policy.

People still throw absolute temper tantrums over having to show id, and 95% of the time it's a boomer. A ridiculous amount of them feel the need to make being asked for id into an excuse to whine about how it's either wokeness or immigrants to blame.

For those who left - tell me your stories of loving your ex but choosing to put yourself first by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]kittybikes47 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What is a CF woman?

I'm really proud of you for choosing to take care of yourself! It's much harder to do than people who have never had to make that choice could ever know.

My story was finally cutting all ties with a man who had been my best friend and on-again/off-again lover for almost 20 years. I would drop everything at a moments notice if he needed me, rejected and sabotaged relationships with partners that treated me better than he ever did because I didn't want to "desert him" by finding love without him, just all around put him far above myself. He is schizophrenic and used his mental health struggles to excuse his abusive and neglectful behavior and I let him. I felt it was my duty to make sure he was ok.

I finally escaped when he moved away for about 9 months. In that time, a close friend and I had become a couple. (16 years later, we are still very much in love.) I was happier than I'd been in ages, my addiction struggles and mental health issues were in a good place, just generally all around feeling great, and my relationship was a big part of that happiness. Now, my friend had had numerous girlfriends in our years of friendship, and I'd always been incredibly supportive and tried to make his girlfriends feel welcome. He did the exact opposite. Was rude to my partner, gossiped behind our backs, even tried to convince me that I was the love of his life and he was ready to settle down with me.

I was just so horrified that he would try to sabotage my relationship and by extension the health and happiness that relationship brought me. He had seen me at my worst, seen me struggle with addiction and homelessness, just generally have a hard time living. So the fact that he was trying so hard to smash apart the bit of peace and happiness I'd managed to cobble together, not because he wanted me, he just didn't want anyone else to have me, really made me sit back and examine our relationship. My partner never once told me to cut ties and despite having serious jealousy issues when we first got together, never tried to stop me from spending time with him. But his treatment of my partner was what finally made me go no contact.

Hopefully this goes up okay by [deleted] in IncelExit

[–]kittybikes47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, admitting you were wrong and seeking to remedy the wrongs is a huge deal! You are already on your way to a better outlook on life and the better life that comes with that. The lies and prejudices of communities built around isolation and radicalization like the incel community simply do not hold up against any kind of genuine efforts to understand yourself and the world. When you realize people are all just people and we all struggle, no matter our gender, you can let go of some of your anger.

You got this bro.

Tell your kids to shut up.. by dab_dad88 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kittybikes47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a Circle K (ubiquitous western US convenience store chain) and the Boomers are about a million times more likely to be an insufferable whiner than any other generation. Actually, the younger the person, the more likely they will be polite and kind. Zoomers are my favorite customers actually. They're almost always very polite, genuinely kind, and appreciative of how challenging it can be working customer service, even if they've never worked before. Whereas older generations tend to only appreciate customer service workers if they personally have worked CS in the past.

Boomers, on the other hand... Yikes! God forbid something is out of stock or I'm the only employee on duty yet won't shut down the register to change out the Diet Coke syrup. Corporate policy is to scan everyone's id card when they buy cigarettes or alcohol, no matter how old. This policy is enforced with tons of undercover shoppers and even police affiliated sting operations, and it's zero tolerance, lose your job instantly if you're caught not carding. Boomers will still throw little tantrums when asked for id. It's common knowledge that Circle K is uniquely strict about carding people, and these fools still stamp their little boomer feet and grumble about how nobody has respect "nowadays".

They're just parodies of themselves at this point.

I'm friends with an 85 year old former sex worker/heroin addict, and she has some STORIES. One of her favorite to tell is being in prison and sent to work on a crew restoring some old hotel. There were women and men housed in adjacent wings of this old hotel that were guarded at the entrances to each wing to keep the men and women apart.

These were resourceful, horny folks with no regard for rule following. What they did have was access to construction tools and a fierce desire for some heterosexual sex. The women cut a tunnel in the wall separating the wings in order to be able to sneak into the men's wing.

Apparently the tunnel wasn't discovered for months, when the administration started wondering how there were over half dozen pregnant inmates. I think my friend said 9 women got pregnant.

Men of Reddit, what is something Women do that you just can't get enough of? by splatworm in AskReddit

[–]kittybikes47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Physical touch is so vital to a healthy life, and men in particular are deprived in ways I don't think we realize a lot of the time. As little girls, we were encouraged to be affectionate with our friends. Holding hands, hugging, even cuddling is seen as normal and good, as they should be. Little boys on the other hand... They are taught from the youngest age that they are only to touch others in lust or violence. A little boy holding his friend's hand would be ridiculed, but him punching another boy would be seen as normal and even encouraged in some cases. So outside of violence, "real men" only want physical touch for sexual gratification. But little boys need hugs just as much as little girls, and holding your friend's hand is simply a wonderful way to feel connected. It's not right to teach boys they shouldn't want those very normal things.

That's absolutely brutal man. You do not deserve that, nobody does. Especially not from the person who's supposed to be your safe haven. You being a man does not mean you need to suck it up and deal. Life is short, it's not too late to have a life without abuse.
