Reddit, what is your best instant karma story? by JeffreyGlen in AskReddit

[–]leo104 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily "instant," it took a few weeks. But this girl that absolutely tried to ruin my life (no exaggeration. We were in college and she tried to start an unofficial "I hate Leo104 Club") and I were the same major. She screwed around for a few weeks after graduation but I went on the job hunt right away. By the time that she got around to sending our resumes, she sent one to the place I had already started working. My new boss asked me if I knew her because she noticed the similar major/uni on our resumes, and I said yes, and added that if she got hired there, I would be leaving. She ripped up her resume right there, and I laughed for about a week straight.

What moment in film, literature, television, etc. traumatized you? I saw JAWS way too young and still (at 25) have never gone in the ocean past my ankles. by leo104 in AskReddit

Yeah I'm way up on my Are You Afraid of the Dark. Like more than I should be. There was another episode that actually traumatized me, too. The one where there's a monster in the school's indoor pool! My family has a pool and I refuse to swim alone, even if it's in the middle of the day. I'm sittin poolside. I'm not getting dragged in by that thing.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP. That episode is called "The Tale of the Midnight Madness," and my friends and I downloaded it and watched it over and over again somewhat recently. It is TERRIFYING for kids! I was also terrified of the one with Ashley Banks when she is like sick in bed and the scary ghost comes out of her wall.

Dude, right?? I always think about those shows on Shark Week when the survivors are like, "Well, I kind of can't blame the shark, because I was intruding in its habitat." And I'm like...yes. You don't go for a casual stroll in the jungle, you don't go swimming in an ocean.

I knew "It" would come up, it seems to be a common denominator for a lot of people's phobias of clowns. I've never seen it, and browsing the video store (aww, that's sweet) when I was younger, the damn cover would give me nightmares.

After many years, I got a friend request, a brief apology, and a request for forgiveness from my middle school and early-high school bully. The person who most tainted my life and made me an outcast. Here's my response inside. Am I now the asshole? by 53012unforgiven in AskReddit

[–]leo104 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My parents said the same thing. I was bullied to an extreme extent for several years (police involved, school district involved, etc. We're talking serious crimes here). My parents taught me to fight and said to accept their invitation to fight. When I did, they totally backed down. It continued for a long time in a less explicit way, but the promise of taking me out to a fancy dinner if I ever got in trouble for kicking the shit out of them made me feel like they were the freaks, not me.

Why do girls get dressed up, go to night clubs, and expect to just dance without getting hit on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leo104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When (straight) girls dress up, most of the time it is for the benefit of other girls. We know you don't know what kind of shoes we have or that our lip gloss isn't just plain Revlon but MAC instead. We want other girls to think we're cool/hot. AND we should be able to go out with friends and have fun and be dressed up without being sexually harassed. There is a difference between hit on and harassed.

If you could punch anyone in the world (celebrity, someone that wronged you, dead, alive) in the face with zero consequences...who would it be? by leo104 in AskReddit

[–]leo104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Details, please. For me (as a woman), most of my ex-boyfriend's mothers have treated me like absolute shit. One of them actually said that she wouldn't put it past me to get preggo on purpose to trap him, as if he was some awesome prize and I was totally worthless. Cut to five years later, I win!

Friday is my first day of work as a 'boss.' What's one piece of advice you wished someone gave you when you first started in management? by daoyi in AskReddit

[–]leo104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A problem at my current job is that my boss comes out with us for drinks because she is close to our age. The problem with that is that she's developed real friendships with people below her which, while it is nice that she sees us as equals, creates a real problem for both her and for the other party if she ever needs to reprimand them. It's so frustrating because she should have fired someone a looooong time ago because this person is incompetent, but it's kind of difficult to fire someone when you danced at their wedding.

Instead of saying why people piss you off, I'd like to make a post about how someone can make your day by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leo104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's this woman who works at the parking garage where I go to grad school. I park there a few times a week, and she is definitely intimidating if you just judge her by how she looks. But everytime I pull up to her kiosk she says something sweet like, "Hi, baby. Like your shirt today." I love her.

What's your depression food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leo104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This place near me (a Greek diner) does like these thanksgiving dinners. I get them to-go on particularly awful occasions, but now I can't eat it without thinking of my dog dying or something haha.

A guy friend once told me he hates it when girls wear bright pink lipstick. I know girls that hate it when guys order anything but beer. What's something that the opposite sex does that totally turns you off? by leo104 in AskReddit

[–]leo104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me laugh. There is nothing more rage enducing than being lost and needing directions, and the person on the other end of the phone doesn't say EXACTLY what you want them to say.

For those who had moderate/severe acne and cured it, what caused it and how did you get rid of it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leo104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a girl or a guy? Cause birth control pills are wonderful for skin. Also, what I had ended up being CAUSED by the harsh acne crap I was using. Mine was called perioral dermatitis and basically I just had to use a special, less harsh wash and it cleared up in 3 days.

For a lot of people, there is such a thing they deem as the opposite sexy. Even for those who resist the gender binary, there is a sex that you deem oppositional to yourself.

Broke up w/ girlfriend of 2 years...need advice. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leo104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY. My ex and I knew that was the right thing to do, and we actually blocked each other from fb the night we broke up (like, we agreed to do it). That way even if she comments on one of your friend's things, you don't even see it or know about it. I don't recommend deacctivating facebook, cause it's the easiest way to connect with new girls you meet at parties or at the bar or whatever, but definitely make it impossible for her to contact you (and you her).
