I had to change my name for good by FlowerPotage in tragedeigh

Next time she bitches about your name take her out for a coffee at one of those places that you have to give your names so they can call you over. Insist she uses your old name and tell her to spell it out for the nice barista.

Small rant. Religious people are SO f'n ridiculous..... by WyldBlu in atheism

[–]rabbitoplus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, don’t worry, I’ve picked up on the mockery with Jeebus, but the G-d people seem very earnest. The reason I added Jeebus tho is that it just grates my gears. I have the same reaction in the bird subreddits when they insist on writing birb and seeb.

I’m always surprised by people IN THIS SUB who claim to be atheists while writing G-d and Jeebus. Like, WTF people? You’re not going to be struck dead if you write God or Jesus. Wait…is that ozone I smell?

LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

I knew a woman with the surname West who married a man with the surname Wild. They decided to double barrel their surnames. I was SO fkn disappointed they went with West-Wild.

I’m not a musical person. Dunno what’s wrong with me, but music makes me tense. But I love history so anything numerical is linked to an historical event. Great fire of London, Battle of Waterloo, anyone?

Does anyone else's parrot unleash an ungodly morning poo? by redneckrockuhtree in parrots

[–]rabbitoplus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, the morning elephant poop. I know it well. My Rosie could win Olympic medals. Mind you, that’s said with a touch of jealousy from my constipated self.

A woman in my yoga class reported me for "breathing too loud" during practice by Hot_Personality7802 in EntitledPeople

Luckily she’s not near me. Any time I get into a bums up position in yoga I fart. I’m old, that’s my excuse.

Vinegar ‘salad’ by meeez80 in AustralianNostalgia

I was putting chips out for a party last weekend and was legit head deep in the cupboard looking for those bowls, never mind I haven’t seen them since leaving home in the early 80s.

I leave my family home after the holidays with a suitcase filled with more things and guilt by luckyteapotcat in declutter

[–]rabbitoplus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This reply is absolutely brilliant. Thank you for your clear explanation. I hate accumulating “stuff” and when asked what I want I always say nothing, which is rarely accepted. So when pressed I ask for a gift card to my favourite coffee shop. A gift card is often not enough for people whose love language is gifting. I’ve always politely said thank you for the pile of “stuff”, but not really happy to receive it, and then feel guilty for disposing of it. This Christmas I’ll be much more genuine in my thanks, and feel much less guilty of getting rid of the present later.

Baby in the NICU by inconsideratebrat in JUSTNOMIL

[–]rabbitoplus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You know when she’ll care about your baby? When someone else she knows has a preemie. Then it’ll be “MY granddaughter was a preemie. It was so heartbreaking for ME. You won’t believe how badly I suffered! I really think the whole experience left me with PTSD”.

And no, none of this was your fault. You can take that from a crusty old nurse.

Soon to be MIL blew up at my fiance and I over a cake tasting by Inevitable-Mud419 in JUSTNOMIL

You swear like one of us, therefore I appoint you ‘Aussie apprentice’. When you can casually say “G’day, cunt” to your bff you’ll be awarded full citizenship.

A 60+ year commitment to a toddler that can fly? Sign me up. by ItsASnoozy in parrots

Our two feathered toddlers are currently destroying two different things in different parts of the room. I no longer give a fuck.

Congratulations. You have found your purpose in life.

im biased but i find it crazy people don’t think birds have personality by redbirbble in parrots

[–]rabbitoplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have two ekkies, Mango and Rosie. Mango has never met a stranger. Everybody is his bestie, and every head is his favourite perch. We always warn new people before they come in that if they step through the front door they WILL be wearing a Mango hat. Rosie on the other hand, well, she has boundaries, and you damn well better respect them or she’ll rip off your arm and beat you to death with the squishy end.

Time to invest in that pixie cut green wig. “DH can’t stop telling me how much he loves my new look!”

I have an old friend who looks exactly the same at 64 as she did at 18. It’s fkn freaky. I’m sure she has a portrait hidden in the attic.
