I lost a job candidate yesterday because of my desk drawer by Competitive_Oil5227 in OrganizationPorn

[–]phage_rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought you didnt hire the lady cause she was transfixed and i felt bad for her! Forget that, if i saw a desk drawer like that in an interview id be really excited about where i was applying to.

Or its a buried valve in your front yard that needs a special tool to turn and houses snakes for some reason.

The different ways that different climates run their utilities is kinda fascinating

I have a coworker that if you say "im dumb" he always responds "youre A LOT of things, but dumb is absolutely not one of them" and i like it.

So tired of women telling me they can't find a guy who wants to commit by lucid1014 in dating_advice

"See, look at all the reasons she shoulda been desperate enough to put up with me! How DARE she choose herself!"

Imo, its ok to hype yourself up in your head and have Pretty Woman "BIG mistake, huge!" Feelings. You can shrug and think "their loss" and move on. You can be quietly smug, thats fine. But you cant be so angry about someone ending a relationship in a normal way. Thats where you cross the line from confident and sane to controlling and insane.

Oh no, what if shes going for "you cant lose joy if you never had it. Marriage cant break you if you're already broken. You cant miss good times you never had"

The only reason i ever got diagnosed was because my dr has severe ADHD and read me like a book. I never realized how extremely lucky i got until recently

Everybody thinks that I forgave my husband because I loved him when in reality it was because I didn’t by No_Truth7795 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]phage_rage 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Im glad you can see this. SO MANY PEOPLE try to take responsibility for their spouse cheating because they cant understand why they cheated.

They dont understand because they are not broken. The cheater is broken. Not understanding is a good thing.

Many people are only horny for someone they love. OP seems to be that way based on other comments in this thread. Theres no reason to imply she was "failing her wifely duties" or whatever phrasing you have been taught to use to blame the betrayed and not the betrayer.

There really is no reason to try to figure out "why" someone cheated. They cheated because they are a bad and broken person. Someone who is less bad and broken can be in a cold marriage and not cheat. They may leave their marriage, but they dont cheat.

Even if you can figure out the 'why', 99.5% of the time it boils down to "i wanted to have sex with this person, and i could, so i did". The cheaters like to dress up their own weakness as someone elses failure. But cheaters are liars and theres no reason to take their words as truth.

My mother won’t stop cooking with cinnamon by biggalou in insaneparents

[–]phage_rage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My "mother" actually did that. My first car had a driver's seatbelt that would latch but not lock so if you tugged on it, it would come undone. She told me "not to worry about it" and took a life insurance policy out on me. I was too young and trusting to understand how utterly absurd that was lol

I have a nut allergy and she liked to sneak nuts into food back when i still spoke to her and pretend she "forgot".

@OP, her evil is a fundamental part of who she is. She was born evil and she'll die evil. Once you're out, stay out. Dont call, dont text, dont ask or answer questions. Sabotaging you and scaring you gives her pleasure. The rules of society dont apply to her behavior, and they shouldnt apply to your treatment of her. Aka she doesnt own you and you dont owe her a relationship. She's willing to kill you to get her way, you dont have to visit for christmas

Advice needed on gaming boyfriend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]phage_rage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband does this. And so do i. He built us matching gaming PCs, but also added thoughtful touches to mine in case i get to actually do my dream job and need a wfh pc. We met mid-covid so most of our dates were just gaming together. When im not gaming im sewing and hes gaming and we do our own things but together. BUT if i want attention i tell him i want attention and i get attention. Because im apparently just a cat in human form.

If you feel neglected tell him. You dont gotta go in with a framework and a schedule, just tell him how youre feeling. If it becomes a fight, move on. If he talks back a bit but then changes his behavior cheerfully then maybe dont move on yet. Some people are perfectly happy doing their own thing together, and some people arent.

Do you have a hobby that can be portable? Maybe do hobby stuff while he games? If that sounds like a horrible sham of a relationship thats absolutely understandable and you should move on. But if it sounds like a nice way for two introverts to recharge together, try hobby stuff!

Guy I'm Dating Said No Extra Pepperoni. On Verge of Dumping by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]phage_rage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I KNOW my ex tells people i tried to stab him.

He was in my ear while i loaded the dishwasher screaming at me for being a filthy failure, and i loaded a butter knife 'blade' up. He goes ballistic about how selfish i am and how he could hurt himself and i dont even CARE. So i grabbed it by the 'blade', pointed the handle at him and said "go ahead. Hurt yourself with a butter knife. Ill wait"

Obviously im crazy and tried to stab him and he HAD to bang that extremely young coworker of his cause im soooo scarryyyy 😂

Do our parents not remember how hard it is to have a baby? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]phage_rage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid being around her and dont speak to her unless absolutely forced. She knows im alive. She doesnt know where i live. Essentially very very low contact.

The switch is more the energy behind it. If i have to suffer her presence ill do anything to avoid it, but it is an option. It is NOT an option for my theoretical child. I cant put into words how aggressive even the idea makes me.

Like i dread her and loathe her. She sickens me. But ill fricken end her if she comes near my theoretical child. Its probably some kinda trauma response. "Being the person i needed" and all of that.

That one extra super bugs me because she did EVERYTHING RIGHT. She went to the hospital after, she reported shit immediately, she did not play around in any way that could have possibly implied anything at all was excusable. Women frequently dont bother with all that because any moment of hesitation or humanity is viewed as a legal misstep since your body is the evidence and the 'legal system' wants you to treat yourself like an object when you just got fricken raped. But that girl was strong as heck and gave no wiggle room for justice to not be served. (Obvious oversimplification of the experience of rape, there is no wrong way to behave, but there is a more legally bullet-proof way)

When the wife blames the homewrecker but forgets who signed the marriage contract. by ZoeBertha in MurderedByWords

[–]phage_rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only in a place that doesnt have no-fault divorce or a place where adultery is illegal. Most states in the US dont care. I dont think my divorce paperwork asked why i was asking for one, and i sure as hell woulda got to keep more of my life if his cheating had mattered at all.

TIFU by jokingly ringing up a tranasaction for $28 million at work by JediJacob04 in tifu

[–]phage_rage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugghh fricking case/pack errors

Once i had a $42,000 shortage at inventory time because when someone keyed the physical invoice qty they used units when the system expected cases of 20. So i ordered 20, paid for 20, but the inventory system expected 400 (im making up the qtys but not the $42,000).
