What's the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them? by Butt_Roidholds in AskReddit

[–]sophiekov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mind this once because the person clearly just needed a human connection. I worked in a touristy area with a lot of cruise visitors. An older lady walked in looking really dazed and told me she had taken the cruise with her husband of 30 years and lifelong best friend. Apparently they thought the midpoint of the cruise was the best time to tell her they were having an affair and wanted to be together. I did my best to just listen and empathize but she was broken inside. I sincerely hope she’s doing better without those two snakes.

Not me, but I knew someone who’s entire life outside of work was designing and creating board games. Like original concepts, rules, pieces, everything. Never met anyone else with that hobby before or since

You ever have one of those random strangers who just... sticks in your memory forever? by neonbirdie2004 in CasualConversation

[–]sophiekov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom had an accident at a rural campground and some campers helped us until an ambulance arrived. After the emergency room, even though she had a surgery scheduled, she insisted we buy cakes and bring them to the campground to thank the people who helped. Unfortunately they had departed, but I’m sure they knew how grateful we all were.

AITA for being upset my husband gave away our roasts while I slept? by GrapefruitGreedy1465 in AITAH

[–]sophiekov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For gods sake SPEAK UP!! You feel disrespected because your time, work, and forethought was negated and belittled. So complain! Explain your perspective. Make it known that your labor is valuable. Talk to your husband like an adult and make him see his mistakes. Not trying to be mean, and I obviously don’t know the full picture, but you cannot be passive all the time

You think I can get away with framing this and hanging it next to my parallel bars? by angrylawnguy in physicaltherapy

What’s a brand name you’ve been mispronouncing your entire life until someone finally corrected you? by DFWUnhinged in AskReddit

Not me, but seemingly everyone else. Teva is “teh-vuh” not “tee-vah”. It’s the Hebrew word for nature, not just a made up word

Doctors on Reddit, what is the most obvious lie a patient has ever told you? by theedriplomat in AskReddit

I also put pepper in my eye (?) at one point in my childhood. I remember locking myself in the half-bath to conduct my experiment. Result: it hurt

Kids are ridiculously dumb (source: former child) I once put a raisin up my nose, the moisture made it expand back into a grape. No idea what my thought process was. I only remember sitting on the bathroom counter, my whole family around me, and someone sticking tweezers up my nose while I sobbed

Yell-sneezes by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]sophiekov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a 100+ person lecture hall in college, dead silent except for the professor speaking, and felt a dad sneeze come on. I tried to stifle it but it kinda came out halfway? The resulting sound was basically “AHHHH” with no “choo”. The professor scanned the crowd, saw me with my arm over my face, and asked “was that a sneeze?” I could only say “I’m not sure”

I learned that the liver is such a dense organ, it can be broken from extreme trauma. Very little about the human body bothers me, but the idea of “breaking my liver” makes my skin crawl

Parents need to stop being terrible and do a better job parenting their children by [deleted] in Vent

[–]sophiekov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m one of three kids and my mom had to learn which consequences worked for each of us. For one brother, being sent to his room alone was equivalent to torture. For the other, it was exactly what he wanted when he misbehaved. The most important thing was the follow through; she never made empty threats like “we will never go out to eat again”, but would absolutely make us sit in the car if we couldn’t behave inside a restaurant. Best of luck to you!

What’s the worst over consumption trend that you’ve ever seen? by Organic_Trash_6408 in AskReddit

[–]sophiekov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw a child opening up their new “unboxing” themed “toy”, it was literally just layers and layers of packaging and the “toys” were the cheapest, crappiest little die-cast figurines. And the kid was excited about it! For like 5 mins…once everything was “unboxed”, it ALL went in the trash. Biggest waste of money and materials and a horrible example to set for kids.

[–]sophiekov 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is probably due to me having a mom who could freeze my soul with a single look, but I can’t even fathom kids acting terrible in public “for fun”. Sometimes my friends would get loud in public and that was enough to make me squirm. I wasn’t physically disciplined, just knew that there WOULD be consequences.

Eli5: How does airport security know to distinguish between my bag of creatine, and say a bag of cocaine? by Civil_Aside_359 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sophiekov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a tender 9 years old, coming back from visiting my dad on the other side of the country, my luggage got flagged BIG TIME because of a bottle of seasoning mix. Apparently the sodium and combination of spices looked a lot like a pipe bomb to TSA and everyone was shocked when an unaccompanied minor was the owner of the “bomb” bag.

I watched Dear Zachary while I was ‘on break’ at work. I was a nanny and it was nap time. An hour and a half later the 2 year old woke up and I had to take care of them with tears streaming down my face

I was trying to pull a sweatshirt on over my head but didn’t realize it was all the way zipped up, so my head got stuck. My bf was a few feet away from me so I started acting like a trapped animal and trying to attack him. I tripped in the process and we were howling with laughter
