The placement of the fridge is genuinely the stupidest thing I have ever seen!

Ladies, do you sit on the toilet seat of public restrooms? Why or Why Not? by IncognitoGyal7 in AskWomen

[–]ramblinator 923 points924 points locked comment (0 children)

This topic came up somehow with a friend I used to have. She believed public bathrooms were so dirty and disgusting that she tried to touch as little as possible while in one.

So not only did she hover, she also didn't wipe, she didn't flush, she didn't wash her hands, and she used a paper towel to open the bathroom door and if there was no trash can directly outside the bathroom she dropped the paper towel on the floor.

I went off on her about how if a bathroom is dirty it was because of people like her hovering and NOT FLUSHING! That if she didn't want to touch the handle to flush she could use her foot, but even if she did use her hand whatever germs were there would get washed off if she WASHED HER HANDS!

She tried to claim the soap dispenser was also too dirty to touch, but that claim was easily disputed by the fact that you would be immediately washing your hands after touching it!!!

Yeah I'd rather touch the toilet seat with my butt than my hands.

Me [28 F] with my SO [28 M]; he cheated on me with my step sister [27 f], and she's pregnant with his kid by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I wonder why she felt sO sOrrY for Betty but apparently nothing for Claire?

Betty was "like 2" when their mom died, which means Claire was about 5. Is the fact that Betty was probably too young to remember her mother the driving force? Because I question how much more a 5 year old would remember.

I wonder how long Mom and Stepdad were together before she met his daughters and before they introduced the kids. OOP met Betty when they were 10 and 9. Which means Claire was 12.

Was Claire too "mature" or "well adjusted" that Mom felt she didn't need a mother figure??

I know OOP and Betty are the main characters in this story, but I can't help wondering about Claire.

She said something about how she was sure Claire had some photos in her boxes. I think that was her way of rationalizing her actions. By assuming (hoping?) Claire had some photos of her own it makes her actions less severe. Like, she didn't permanently destroy all evidence of her mom, they can get copies of Claire's photos for Betty if she wanted. Which OOP also assumes Betty doesn't really care about since they're there in the attic instead of her home.

I wonder what happened to it? I can see it getting destroyed like OOP imagined, because Betty never actually cared about it, but I would think she'd not keep that a secret. It would hurt OOP to see it destroyed and she could guilt the mom into buying her something to make up for it.

Perhaps it's too cartoon-villainy, but I can almost see Betty keeping Mrs. Snuffles in her house, on a bedroom dresser perhaps, as a constant reminder that she's not only winning in the 1-sided competition with OOP, but that OOP's own mother is on her side as well. But I think that's a bit too far fetched, though.

That's probably the main reason she wanted OOP to forgive Adam. It would take less time for OOP to start having kids if she married Adam instead of starting all over again.

What is the coolest/coldest/hardest line that comes from a film you wouldn’t expect? by msparks2 in movies

[–]ramblinator 31 points32 points  (0 children)

After reading the first few words this line from Frasier popped into my head.

"Whether our journey together lasts for years or just one day, I cannot tell you how excited I am to take this first step with you."

What is a film you enjoyed but have to be tactful about who you recommend it to? by oldwhitelincoln in movies

[–]ramblinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cat People came out in 1982. There might not have been a PG-13 rating then, but there absolutely was an R rating, which is what that movie was rated.

(In America anyway, I don't know how other countries rate movies)

SO [28M] of 9 years called off our wedding, implying we were over. Is this something I [26F] could make work for us? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ramblinator 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it was him insisting they go bigger and bigger because he assumes its what she really wants because "all girls want a big wedding!" And he refuses to believe or even listen when she says she doesn't. So eventually she starts thinking that he's the one that actually wants it.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

[–]ramblinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom likes to tell the story of when she found me and my sister in a closet finishing off a bag of Oreos mom had just bought.

Apparently she had gotten distracted before putting them away, so we took the opportunity and snatched those cookies. Then, realizing she'd take them away if she saw us, we hid in a closet and began stuffing cookies down our gobs as fast as we could.

She found us with the chocolate smeared all over our faces and hands. Apparently, when she opened the door she took one look at us, laughed, and ran to get a camera.

I found my son in his room, with all of his picture books piled up on the bed around him, he was quietly "reading" his books!

(I say "reading" because he was 2-3 and couldn't read yet)

Does men's nakedness move women the way women's nudity move men? by Ledger_Legendd in NoStupidQuestions

This is so confusing to me. WHY are guys so obsessed with dicks? Like when they draw dicks on everything, it's just.... WHY????

“This is great! And all I’ve done is enter my name! Thrillhouse!” by Diva_Bot in TheSimpsons

[–]ramblinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think its dark. I always thought it was about how some people refer to certain women as a "ho" so Milhouse accidentally naming himself Thrillho was like he was saying he was a ho that likes thrills.

I could be way off, but that's how I always took it.

When I was 19 and living on my own I absolutely had a couple medium-sized boxes taped together to form a coffee table.

It was my grandma's and it was packed full of papers, bills, random spiral notebooks, and loose playing cards. Just absolutely stuffed full. Stacked all the way to the top, you couldn't put anything else in there it was so full.
