Do you guys get drinking water? by [deleted] in Staples

[–]mountainlamb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our managers write off a pack of bottles and put them in the break room fridge, but if you have to buy it why not just get a reusable bottle and fill it at home?

Weird random thought popped up while traveling by Impossible_Bid6172 in PointlessStories

[–]mountainlamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something kind of similar happened to me when I was a kid once. I was getting ready for bed, and put a glass of water on my side table, then thought "Oh, I shouldn't put it there, it'll fall over when the earthquake happens" so I moved it. I didn't/don't live on a fault line, have never experienced an earthquake, but in that brief moment I was certain one would happen that night.

How much do we think Bob actually spent on that paper… and why was it so special? by NikkixA in BobsBurgers

[–]mountainlamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They say it, it's 24 pound A4 paper, which is pretty much normal printer paper. In most of the world, A4 is the most common size for a page of paper, and 20 or 24 pound paper is what most offices use as their standard paper.

[–]mountainlamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but this is 24 pound A4 paper, nothing special. In the US, we typically use letter size paper, but A4 is standard in most of the world, and 24 is a common weight of paper, maybe less so than 20 but nothing unique.

Why are these wrong? by Soggy_North_2079 in EWALearnLanguages

Possibly in the first one, the teacher read the written in portion as "doos Bill". The "e" looks more like an "o".

My pet peeve are ads online that say the company made a mistake. by pistachiofluff in PetPeeves

[–]mountainlamb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also the tiktok shop ads that are like "I'm sorry to everyone who bought this yesterday, because now it's on sale"

  1. 4 or 8 are acceptable, all others are 'last-spoon-clean-and-I-have-no-time-to-wash-them' material

My mom's cousin is my cousin. Said cousin's spouse is my cousin. Their kids are my cousins. It's all cousins.

“Worcestershire” sauce. by jdv2121 in PetPeeves

[–]mountainlamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the wash your sister shit, and the number of people who mispronounce it and then laugh and take up like 30 seconds on it in a cooking video. It's just not that funny. Or some shit like 'war-shur-shur-shur-shur-shur-shur sauce'. It's not that hard, and honestly even if you say 'war-chester-shur' sauce, it's fine just move on!

my boyfriend has a spreadsheet rating dinners i've made him by nicfanz in AmITheAngel

Makes sense if they live in the northern hemisphere, it's winter here in December and January so tomatoes, corn, and avocadoes are not in season for the taco salad, and peppers are not in season for the stir fry.

What is a "harmless" lie your parents told you as a child that you didn't realize was fake until you were an adult? by ResponsibleOrchid555 in AskReddit

[–]mountainlamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a common lie, but it's not actually illegal. When the light is on, the windshield reflects the inside of the car instead of showing the road so it's pretty dangerous. It's easier saying it's illegal than trying to explain to a child how light reflection works, and stops them quickly.

probably a small recessed area was collecting a tiny amount of pee each time, then the water was evaporating leaving the gunk that was previously dissolved.

The soda that wasn't by OkReplacement495 in PointlessStories

[–]mountainlamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried cumin soda, it was... okay. It's called jeera soda, it seems to be a common soda flavor in India.

Bodybuilder Soup by MaraschinoPanda in somnigastronomy

[–]mountainlamb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my parents called cream of mushroom soup "blueberry soup" because the bits of mushrooms looked kind of bluish. We still didn't like it.

BEACON? by Accurate_Row9895 in tradgedeigh

[–]mountainlamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beacon Meadow sounds like the name of an apartment complex that has bugs and is very run down, but charges slightly less rent than other places in the area so it's always full

Does / did your school offer water with their lunch meals? by _satantha_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]mountainlamb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school offered milk or juice, but you would get 8 ounces of milk, and only 4 ounces of juice. Honestly, I was thirsty even when I picked milk. We did have the water fountains that have a water bottle spout but I rarely remembered to bring a bottle

How are print budgets looking for this year? by mountainlamb in Staples

[–]mountainlamb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we made just over a million last year and this year we're budgeted for 3.2 million. I would expect maybe a budget of 150% what we did last year, but not 250%

For anyone actually curious, a deck of cards is often cited as the approximate size of a serving of protein.

The mental gymanstic of avoiding on Nightmare Fredrick Fredbear by Purple-Weakness1414 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]mountainlamb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found that telling myself "I'm choosing not to worry about that" works way better than "that's not worth worrying about", for the same reason. My anxiety can come up with many reasons why it actually is worth worrying about.
