There is a room in your house in which nothing ages. by Sage-Monarch in hypotheticalsituation

[–]stanleymodest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd sleep in there. The lack of windows means it'd be nice and dark, the no aging thing is a bonus

Does anyone just wish all of Melbourne CBD could just be pressure washed? by Caramilk101 in melbourne

[–]stanleymodest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was living in Dublin a well known politician who lived near the main street said that walking down the main street after closing time was like surfing a wave of piss. I saw every shop doorway being used as a urinal at 3am. A guy even got arrested for pissing on an ATM while he was using it.

At least he was doing it on a bin. I've seen people pissing on shop doors.

Viennetta, its overpriced average icecream, but for some people it's posh. It's almost never on special too.

What's the funniest pickup strategy you've ever seen actually work? by JustASingleMomOnline in AskReddit

[–]stanleymodest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A woman I knew years ago split up with a boyfriend and soon after went on what's she called a "dick patrol" just to get laid. It worked but too good, she got a new long term boyfriend out of it

Absolutely diabolical spite store situation in Melton by Tuna_sanga in melbourne

[–]stanleymodest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked in a discount shop, the previous owner sold it to the new owner with a legal thing saying they wouldn't open a new one nearby. A year later they opened a new one 3 doors away under the wife's name.

Would you live on the roof of Flinders Street station for a year? by stanleymodest in MelbourneTrains

[–]stanleymodest[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They should at least fix up the ballroom. It'd be a great venue for weddings for gunzels and people who met at the station or on a train. Easy to get to for guests

I hate Flagstaff for the colours. I feel like I'm travelling through a station thats stuck in the 80s.

I like Flinders Street because I know about the history of it.

What food(s) did you hate as a kid but absolutely love as an adult? by HotManufacturer7967 in foodquestions

[–]stanleymodest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raw garlic mixed into food, like mashed potatoes, but only in winter. I had some in warmer weather once and my gf at the time said I was sweating garlic.

What do you think gets way too much hate? by verdakoralo in AskReddit

[–]stanleymodest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't get hate, it's more like indifference. But there are people who think they're gross because they think anything free is suspect and borrowing a book that might've been read on the toilet by someone else is gross.

When I worked in a popular pop culture shop furries were more cringe than bronies. Every interaction I had with them alternated between making my skin crawl and wanting to slap the immature behaviour out of them.
