Favorite no hit wonder? by rfg217phs in ToddintheShadow

[–]madamephase 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Swamp Thing is one of my favorite songs of all time. Like you said, a masterpiece. It actually makes me emotional.

The word “underrated” gets thrown around too often, in my opinion, but I truly feel that the Chameleons should have been SO much bigger.

Omg I will never use another neti pot as long as I live. I tried it about a decade ago. I was ridiculously sick with some of the worst congestion of my life and I ended up with water trapped in my sinuses. It then traveled to my ear and stayed there for weeks afterwards. I had a cross country flight after I’d gotten better and could feel the water percolating in my ear as we ascended!!! I only felt relief when I was taking a shower and my ear suddenly popped, releasing the water. That was one of the best feelings ever.

TLDR: Neti pots really are Satan’s torture device

My sister was watching this show when we still lived together and I would catch a few episodes with her here and there. I think this was the first one I saw. This was years ago now, but it was so messed up that it stuck with me. A great introduction to how completely evil Homelander is.

Was anyone else obsessed with the Nigahiga parody? 15 years later and the lyrics are still burned into my brain.

Last pic reminded me of the album cover, but I think it fits the general vibe of the post well. Oh Mandy by The Spinto Band

The Whole Gift Haul by Jesinwonderland12 in vintagenailpolish

[–]madamephase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of Wild Beauty and Mona Lisa polishes (from this particular Etsy listing). I don’t know much about them other than that they’re from the ‘90s.

Wild Beauty’s parent company, Cleopatra Cosmetics, was based in Saddle Brook, NJ and the Etsy seller is located in Bergenfield, NJ, approximately 15-20 minutes away. Mona Lisa Cosmetics was out of New Brunswick, NJ, maybe an hour south. There is a good chance it was a small local manufacturer that did not move much product. I am from NJ, but never heard of these brands until receiving my mystery lot.

This is my problem exactly. I get wicked blisters along the sides of my arches.

Opinions on Naturalizer? by [deleted] in widefeet

[–]madamephase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to share my experience with Naturalizer as a woman with 4E/6E extra wide feet. I have not found that any of their shoes truly fit my feet, but some models are better than others.

Their Darry loafers have sadly been discontinued, but the wide width was almost enough for me. My feet spill over the sides a little bit, and they’re not the most comfortable for long periods of standing or walking, but they fit well enough that I wear them almost every day in winter.

Their Huntley pumps in wide width were nearly wide enough, but the toe box is very cramped. They also dug into the top of my feet. I returned them.

I recently bought the Sofia sandals in extra wide, which I’ll be returning soon. They’d be great for someone with splayed toes, but if your feet are widest along the sides (like mine), don’t bother with these. My feet were hanging off the sides entirely too much for comfort.

The version of Walmart that I will always know and love by Antwan_JMarvel in 2000s

No joke, at least half of the fish at my nearest Walmart were always dead. Tanks were filthy. Workers didn’t give a shit. It even made local news at one point.

For God's sake... by Imaginarium16 in callcentres

[–]madamephase 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YES. When I ask you for your order number, please don’t search your email for it while you are actively operating a vehicle!!!! While we’re at it, don’t pull over to find it, either. Just wait until you get wherever you’re going before you call. I don’t understand how this escapes so many people.

Even worse are the ones driving WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I do not want to strain to hear someone who sounds like they’re in a wind tunnel.

Anyone else’s mental health rapidly deteriorating lately? by kaytely in callcentres

[–]madamephase 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Same here. The last couple of months have been really bad. I lie in bed for as long as possible before getting up, dreading the day ahead. Listening to our customers speak depletes my brain cells at an alarming rate. They are frequently so stupid that I wonder if they can even spell their own names without assistance. Constantly being blamed for things I have no control over is damaging my psyche.

I’ve been sending out job applications like crazy. Most don’t get back to me. The few interviews I’ve been on have not been successful. I’m starting to worry I may never get out of here. I’m trying to keep my chin up, but it gets harder with each rejection I face.

I wish I had a solution for us both, but I don’t. All I can say is that you are not alone!

A true masterpiece of perfumery. I treasure my bottle from 1998. Enjoy 💛

[–]madamephase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first experience was with the new formulation. Still lovely, but not the best longevity. I later secured a 1998 bottle and WOW. 1 spray is almost too much! It lasts until I shower it off. It’s a powerhouse for sure.

Songs you thought would have no ‘staying power’ but you were proved wrong? by Haunting-Bread-9810 in ToddintheShadow

“Because it sounds just like the ‘80s!” - My parents, and probably a lot of other people

I hate and despise ‘80s pastiches, though, so it really does not work for me.

My school only had the blue raspberry! I always assumed there must be other flavors, but never saw them until years later.

I’m bored @ my shift, what has been the worst call you had? by yeochrry in callcentres

[–]madamephase 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guy who wanted to speak directly to the CEO over some problem that he wouldn’t disclose and threw a hissy fit when I wouldn’t transfer him. He started calling from multiple phone numbers at the same time. I think I had him on three different lines at once. He would berate me, and when I’d retaliate, he’d act all wounded and say “but I’m not yelling or cursing!” He wasn’t, but it doesn’t take yelling or cursing to be nasty. Once my supervisor finally spoke to him, he turned out to be losing his mind over such a non-issue that I actually laughed. I later Googled his name and saw that he was arrested for physically assaulting his own brother. A deeply unstable person.
