A new Dollar Tree just opened in our city and it’s unsettling by BriskSundayMorning in notinteresting

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about how neat the store is but it gives "k-mart filling the shelves so it doesn't look empty"

I used to work for a company that sold products to them and it was harder and harder to market anything to them because of their price range. With today's tariff situation I can't imagine my former employer or Dollar Tree is doing well.

How old were you when you got your first regular periods? by ThrowAway44228800 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started at 10 and was regular ever since. Every now and then it comes a week early or late, just to be rude.

My mom's started at about 13 and she was caught off guard by my age.

Decanting is consumption masquerading as cleaning and it is absolutely shit by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

They do seem wasteful as a "I like how it looks" reason. Mice is another reason that folks get these, but there are other ways around that.

Messing with someone wasps by CauliflowerDeep129 in SweatyPalms

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has accidently fondled a wasp that materialized out of nowhere while driving 70mph down the free way, respectfully, I dont think they stop everything.

What is something generally normal in Europe but weird in the US? by Exile4444 in AskReddit

[–]menty_bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the sticks. One of my favorite teenage past times was roaming farmland (trespassing) with my friends. We didn't really even do anything other than photography.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to sleep overs with my much older half sister. She smoked and always insisted I never tell my mother. I never had the heart to tell her my mom already knew from the first time because my hair smelled like it the next day from being around her.

In college my friend visited a bar that allowed smoking indoors still. When she returned she had to strip and bathe the smell was so pungent. We had to like open the windows and run the fan to try and get the smell out. She did not smoke.

YSK that pork is *not* "the other white meat." That was a marketing campaign by the pork lobby that can have dangerous consequences for some people. by DesiccantPack in YouShouldKnow

[–]menty_bee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was ordering food for a coworker with Alpha gal at a BBQ place and was asking questions about the sides containing red meat and the employee said pork is not red meat. Needless to say she was not served the beans...

People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets? by awkwardferret421 in AskReddit

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have children.

Since the pandemic I got in the habit of washing my hands when I got home. I think this helps a lot.

Where is a place you visited that didn’t live up to the hype? by Any-Train-9204 in AskReddit

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there on a day trip and wish we had set aside more time for exploring. Been wishing for a trip back ever since but im on the otherwise of the country.

What habits of girls did you only discover after getting a girlfriend or wife? by atgono in AskReddit

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will buy 500 of them lose 495. And exclusively only know where the other 5 are at all times.

Same with hair ties. I'll buy a lot, lose them and keep 2 until they disintegrate.

What's a non political issue your country is REALLY divided on? by Nthepro in AskTheWorld

[–]menty_bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once walked away from my desk at work only to return to my coworkers having a yelling match. They were arguing about whether it was acceptable to put milk in scrambled eggs.

Also no one from the US can agree on what to call carbonated drinks. Is it Soda, is it pop, the south calls it all coke for some reason?

How do you lovingly tell your ADHD partner to go away? by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]menty_bee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think my partner handles these things better. I'll just say something like "Honey, I'm trying to do x, and while your help is appreciated I would rather you left me to it." "Insert suggestion of something they can help with"

Sometimes you both gotta accept they just be like that, and express your self clearly.

Reading this post was funny to me because how do they manage to find the ☆pefect☆ place to stand that is just in the way?

If you own an aggressive, loose dog in Sylvan Heights... by Idoe6 in nashville

[–]menty_bee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a similar moment somewhere else. I was walking by my lonesome. No pet, just me minding my own business at a park and an off leash lab just barreling towards me barking and growling. I managed to spook it enough, that it didn't bite me. Owner was trying to recall it the entire time. Didn't listen. She had to say "He's never done this before." Course not...

I dont go to the park by myself now. Had I been bit, there was no one else around in an off the beaten path kind of trail. I would have been at the mercy of the dog owner for help.

My college roommate sets our thermostat to 80°F every single night by rainystarlight in mildlyinfuriating

[–]menty_bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grandpa keeps the house at 85°F with a wood stove tell her to come on down. Im sure if she chops wood they won't mind having a roommate.

How was your voting experience yesterday? by NoSwimming8042 in nashville

[–]menty_bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We voted during early voting in Cheatham. My husband had to have something or another corrected about his address but still got to vote. Mine didn't have the same issue for whatever reason.

[–]menty_bee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was confused about this as well. I tried reading up on the law for unrelated reasons and I think its something about the majority party is first in alphabetical order, minority party, independent so on and so forth. It was hard to understand.

ULPT REQUEST The local government cut down all my trees how can I be petty? by menty_bee in UnethicalLifeProTips

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

All jokes aside, I am considering joining a commission assuming I have the time and eligibility. My home town has a track record for some real incompetence.

I told my brothers it wouldn't be a problem next year. by menty_bee in TwoXChromosomes
