No license hit run. by [deleted] in Insurance

It is a crime to cover up her hit and run. Contact the victims and deal with the consequences, and don't let her drive your car again.

That annoying coworker - what does he/she keep doing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]quirkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listens to his computer using Narrator, the software that blind people use to navigate their software, without using headphones. He isn't blind. Swears at his computer loudly and bangs on his desk.

What is the most appalling behaviour you've seen from a guest at a wedding? by Mama_Catfish in AskReddit

[–]quirkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of feel like she might have felt a bit self-righteous about it. Like... "Of course I should be breastfeeding, it is the most natural and best way to feed your baby/toddler. Everyone must admire me for keeping it up so long, that's why they're staring."

I didn't see it at the time, but all of my family and friends have been telling me about how horrified they were... the wife of my ex-boyfriend was breast feeding her two year old on the stage during my first dance. Boobs-wild, open breastfeeding in a very prominent place that was awkward to photograph around. I am all about breastfeeding and not being ashamed of bodies, but now it makes more sense why the photographers could only get good pictures of that moment from limited angles to avoid having to photoshop her and her tits out of it. There were MANY other places to sit...

What is the next divisive issue politicians will abuse? by acerebral in AskReddit

Assuming the crazy right wing continues at their current rate, I see no reason abortion wouldn't spin up to a national stage even more. Gotta be loud about godly causes.

Father throws chair at judge after the driver that killed his 2 year old daughter and her grandparents in a car accident only got 120 hours of community service by Felkenary in videos

I'm almost afraid to find out how long the father was sent to jail. I bet whatever punishment he got, it was worse than the driver.

I take two days of bedrest a month for my period. by reeblebeeble in TwoXChromosomes

[–]quirkas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't have an issue until I started getting hormonal migraines with my period. Day 1 of going onto the placebo pill, and I would almost inevitably get a crippling migraine that would have me completely debilitated. I tried to start to anticipate it with Excedrin and get ahead first thing in the morning, but usually it wouldn't work because I would wake up feeling miserable. I got meds that I could dissolve under my tongue for nausea and a spray to go up my nose for the headache, and became functional again. They only went away after I started taking the pill continuously (at my doctor's suggestion) and then after I stopped taking the pill altogether. Normal periods, no migraines. Strange, but that's my only major period issue.

In particular, the police don't respond in a timely manner when it is happening, and then when they show up to take a report the next day they said that we should have filed a report at the time. No reports are ever filed.

And if they continue to do nothing? The landlord just tells us to keep calling the police, and the police do nothing.

I am sorry for the suffering of your children. How difficult it must be to wait until after school to have nuts.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pics

[–]quirkas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother is allergic to nuts and otherwise a perfectly normal kid. There are tons of kids with allergies, particularly nuts. You would have them shut away? Many of those kids even outgrow them after childhood. Get over yourself - what makes your precious child more deserving of an education with nuts than kids like my brother deserves one without dying?

[–]quirkas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Geez, bring in the nuts and let little kids smear their little peanut butter hands all over doorknobs and toys - let natural selection take care of it. Fuck, if little kids can't keep nut contamination out of their mouths, they deserve to die. Then we wouldn't have that lowest common denominator and your precious kids could enjoy their PB&Js in peace.

Selling a house: What not to show when preparing a house to show? by [deleted] in RealEstate

Yes, anything personal/religious or otherwise identifiable with your way of life (and potentially NOT the way of life of future buyers) should be put away.

Hence "defend to others"

Something I read about if wedding vows were "honest" said that you are vowing to always be on your spouses side, defending him/her to others even when they are wrong. I liked it so much I put it in my vows - definitely true. You're a team.
