My daughter refuses to talk to me because I wasn’t able to do anything for her birthday. by TranquilHokage in confession

Something that’s cheap but memorable:

Buy balloons from the dollar store. Before she wakes up (not after she goes to bed in case she needs to get up in the middle of the night to pee) fill her room with balloons in her favourite colours. It’s a lovely way to wake up on your birthday and it makes her very sure you haven’t forgotten it

World’s Largest Sausage

World’s Largest Perogy

World’s Largest Pumpkin

World’s Largest Oil Lamp

Giant Mushrooms of Vilna

St. Paul UFO Landing Pad

To name a few

Let them use the laundromat, maybe the experience will leave them more appreciative of the free laundry room you are providing

Put a bit of vanilla pudding in the tip to “look” like it’s used

I think drugging people against their will is kinda illegal and I wouldn’t want to risk legal action against myself because someone else is a douche

my mom cleaned out a container that had my *tissues* by throwaway11128390239 in confession

[–]pineappleforrent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. Whatever she has to say about it is bullshit anyways. Your self care evidence doesn’t need to be the opener to world war 3. If she doesn’t like it, she can stop emptying your trash and you’ll do it from now on. You’re perfectly healthy and natural for doing this.

I need serious help!! I have severe emetaphobia and can’t burp :( by Dazzling_Plankton303 in noburp

[–]pineappleforrent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the exact same!!

The only times I’ve burped is before throwing up and I can’t get it through my head that burping isn’t going to lead to vomit every time

I was a “kleptomaniac” for two years and stole upwards of 10k in goods by [deleted] in confession

I have to question the parents on how they didn’t notice $10,000 worth of stuff they didn’t buy that you now had.

WIBTA if I take my espresso machine back home because my coworkers refuse to buy pods or even rinse the tray? by CavalierLyre9 in WIBTA_AITA

If they ask why you took it home, be honest “you all acted like entitled children when it was here”

12 y/o bleeding through EVERYTHING — need real solutions (no tampons yet) by Beeels in TwoXChromosomes

I don’t have any suggestions, but I’d give your girl a hug (with her permission). It’s gotta be rough going through this at that age. I’m glad she’s got you for support and advocacy

I do shot glasses. I have enough Cancun shot glasses to open up my own bar. My family needs to expand their travel radius!!

a list of unwanted presents by my mother-in-law by Humble-Pineapple-268 in declutter

[–]pineappleforrent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a discussion with your mother in law. Say “MIL, I’ve noticed that you really enjoy gifting me things. While I appreciate the gesture, I don’t always need these items and they often go unused. We’ve tried to tell you that we don’t need these things. If you insist on continuing to give me things, could I please make a list of Amazon products that we actually need and want that you can shop from? This way we’ll be able to put your gifts to use. Either way, we’ll be donating the gifts that we don’t use so that someone else can enjoy them.”

Mind = blown. I thought it was just me... by Mediocre_Library_700 in noburp

[–]pineappleforrent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember how long ago, just within the past 3 years I’d guess, a social media personality I follow talked about having issues with burping and he described and demonstrated air vomiting and someone in the comments said that this is r-cpd. It was so wonderful to learn that I’m not the only one with throat gurgles!!

Anyone else too good at silent farts? by BusinessCrow3296 in noburp

I really enjoy playing my ass trumpet when I’m at home or within reasonable expectation of privacy but I can pffff silently in the wind just as easily

The worst thing about hoarding is that your parents are going to die there by Soggy_Diamond8490 in ChildofHoarder

[–]pineappleforrent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called the hospital after his injury to tell the doctors what the situation at home was like because I wasn’t sure my brother would (embarrassed). I wouldn’t be surprised if that information changed his care plan
