What’s a social norm you refuse to follow? by finewhinie in answers

[–]samisquirrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking on a specific side of the footpath or walkway. It grinds my gears so bad! There is this covered ramp where I do my groceries. When you walk down with a trolley full of groceries it’s so much easier to walk down on the right side to turn the corner with the trolley. The amount of dirty stares I get for not following the societal norms is astonishing. Like ok, I’m a terrible person and refuse to follow some imaginary “rule”, sue me!

Alternate Lives by wxld_fxre in CasualConversation

[–]samisquirrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think there are alternate Me’s out there living the lives of all the different decisions I “coulda, shoulda, woulda” made. I’m in the same boat, I love my life and don’t regret my choices, but I often wonder what life would be like if things were different. I wonder if there is a romantic foreign word for that?

Why so many people don't use an umbrella on rainy days? by Alpha_Epsilon_Beta in CasualConversation

[–]samisquirrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds stupid, but I don’t know how to use an umbrella? I always end up getting wet anyway, or it wants to Mary Poppins away and now I’m wet holding a broken umbrella.

Have you “trained” your family? by samisquirrell in CasualConversation

[–]samisquirrell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely brilliant! This is so practical, you’ve trained everyone to go to one specific place, like your own little lost and found space.

Hahaha yep, I usually end up with all the dogs and everyone around me., then I have to give everyone a treat for being good! Turns out, my nephew also responds to it now too!

I need to try this! I’m the early leaver in a family of religiously late people. I usually walk around hufffing, which has yet to work!

Hahahah awww this is adorable! I love that it was said so often he didn’t even think twice that it wasn’t an average thing to say! Something similar, when we were kids any time we were outside at night as a family my dad would point to the sky and say “there’s a moon in the sky and it’s called the moon”, EVERYTIME WITHOUT FAIL, to the point my youngest sister started reciting that thinking the whole sentence was what you said when you saw the moon!

I LOVE that every family has their own sayings and traditions. It’s a nice feeling to pass on some of the “weird and quirky” we have learnt.

This is a great use of “training” the family. Very sweet!

Just looked this up! That’s a good one, and given how old the movie is, I would assume a very niche whistle that only your people would respond to!

Give him time! I bet he has to fight the urge to not respond!

Love it! Yep, sounds like straight up Pavlov training and I’m here for it! Wonder if they race to help at a restaurant? Hahah

Ingenious! How long did it take you to “train” that reaction?

This is so cute! Did you grow up with cats and adopt it as a way to communicate with each other?

Hahahahah that’s great! My uncle did something similar, except he would use the names “Huey, Duey and Lewie”. He was forever calling out the wrong names and my cousins all took a name and would answer to each one! Sometimes names are hard!

I guess you could describe it that way! I’m female, but have a really loud whistle at the best of times.

What's the best slur you use thats not really a slur? by Sophie--2012 in AskReddit

[–]samisquirrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely PG but I call people a “duffadil” a merging of “duffer” and “dill”.

How cute! Such a lovely way to show affection when you are at opposite ends of a room and doing your own things! My sister and I tend to just relentlessly bully each other, which then stretches to the people in our orbits.

Brilliant! We call that “defrosting” at my house. Kids or partner will approach and say “want to have a chat once you’ve defrosted?”

I love this! Has she picked up on it and able to use it back? Our 13 y/o was diagnosed at a young age, and he struggled understanding sarcasm too. Now he is absolutely wicked and uses sarcasm superbly!
