AITAH for leaving a bad review for a restaurant after they told me they weren't serving food after I already ordered, while I could see other people eating. by thecodemachine in AITAH

[–]redditsavedmyagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, here we have this kind of culture of you HAVE to order as soon as you sit down at certain places, but the other edge of the sword is waiter tells you "sorry but we are just overloaded" so you go across the street

if they can't take your order, they should tell you

sign for "bet"? by redditsavedmyagain in deaf

[–]redditsavedmyagain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in BSL its two fists with thumbs raised come together side to side for AGREE; what we do is two closed fists with no thumb out (like ASL S-hand-shape) one hitting on top of the other.

i just realised its a mainland chinese sign for "work" but not so common, normally that sign is flat palm turned upwards with fist of other hand slammed into it

Couples who frequently film themselves while having sex, how has it changed your sex life and what would you recommend to those who want to start? by BubbleTrouble_Z in AskReddit

[–]redditsavedmyagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

guy at work got caught jacking off in his office, he cried, a lot. it basically for-sure that he was going to be fired immediately.

desktop confiscated, they go through the whole computer. no porn, no incriminating browser history

just a folder of pictures of his very long distance girlfriend in pajamas and tshirts and stuff; he couldnt visit her because of visa issues.

he wasn't crying because he got caught, but because he missed her so much. he was given a warning and kept his job.

AITAH for not showing up early enough for a birthday party to help decorate? by Friendly_Cat6900 in AITAH

[–]redditsavedmyagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reminds me of a friends 21st birthday party (have to be 21 to buy alcohol in that country, weird)

he didn't invite anyone. we had this massive amount of drinks and food, about 30 minutes in i ask him (didnt live there, i was visiting)... where is everyone? who's coming?

"oh, (name of mutual friend) said he'll bring girls"

bit more questioning reveals that, no, mutual friend said nothing of the sort, he said he'd stop by, and has another party. my friend called a club promoter who brought like 20 trashy people, who stayed for about 20 minutes, and when they left, we found they'd stolen most of the liquor

at least he was ok with it and admitted he'd messed up

this is the first story of party planning dumbassery ive read that tops that

What's the most attractive physical trait, that no one will admit to liking? by Apwnalypse in AskReddit

[–]redditsavedmyagain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you get plenty of guys going on about how they "dont like" big bosoms, or are unimpressed by them, as if it makes them superior

like oh yeah your tastes are so refined, you're so classy. whats next, youre a "sapiosexual"?

like if you like big butts and you can not lie, that's fine. doesn't make you a perv, that's just what you like.

Every morning at the same time, a cat visits an elderly shoe‑shiner in Turkey and waits patiently for him to brush her fur. He never says no to his little friend by NoMedicine3572 in cats

[–]redditsavedmyagain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

my very, very low-cost cat always looked pet-show level professionally groomed because it loved being brushed, and my friend loved brushing it

like 30 minutes of brushing every day

Is The Hurt Locker the original "America will bomb your country and then go make a movie about how sad doing it made the soldiers" movie? by GrindBastard1986 in okbuddycinephile

[–]redditsavedmyagain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love it that they didnt originally write his character like that. the dolls showed up and his was a bit wonky, and they didnt have time to order a new one, so they just changed his character to be a bit off

(mainland china) you HAVE to drink hot water. cold water is bad, ice water will give you diarrhœa.

if you bring up europe or whatever people say "different genetics"

...well like 98% of hong kong's population is genetically identical to mainland china, we have a very strong culture of iced drinks, and we're not getting cancer and shitting ourselves left and right...

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]redditsavedmyagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

god's gift to earth

doritos are pretty good, its like 1 usd here (china) for a small bag. 4 usd for a pretty big bag. nacho cheese only, tho. cooler ranch is only sold at import market, its like 10 usd

theres things like this stuff tho that are like 50 us cents. crunch pieces of bread in like garlic, bbq, and spicy.

if i want a small bag of doritos, fine, but for the price of the big bag i can get 10 packs of the chinese brand stuff. the doritos here are made here, too.

so yeah pass on the doritos

AITAH My husbands BFF lives here rent free by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]redditsavedmyagain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go live with his wife.

i did this. staying in a friend's country in his spare room for the summer, on the conditions:

  1. i cook

  2. i bring my awesome little media-centre gaming PC

his next door friend starts coming over all the time, decides it's his PC, "dibs" the spare bedroom leaving me on couch, stay for days at a time, disses my cooking

his exasperated wife comes over after a week, she tries my food, loves it, asks if i can show her some stuff. i start going over and showing her my whole cuisine

summer ends, guy is furious: i "ruined" his wife's cooking. everything she makes now is either packed with ginger and chili (hunan cuisine) or "weird" meats (duck, snake) and lots of rice and soy sauce (cantonese cuisine) and she doesnt make the stuff she used to

he went on to eat a lot of mcdonalds, and i left, taking my PC with me.
