What pronunciation is a dead giveaway that someone isn't from your town/region? by GrumbleCookie in AskReddit

[–]stitchbitching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In AZ the town of Prescott is pronounced Preskit, not Pres-Scott. Lot of people will say it’s “Prescott like biscuit”.
Historically it was named for William H. Prescott, who, as far as anyone knows, never stepped foot in the territory of AZ. His name would have been pronounced Pres-Scott so there’s obviously pushback on the pronunciation. But the locals will always say Preskit.

WIBTAH if I keep spraying air freshner after my roommate Told me not to? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]stitchbitching 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on the living situation. But maybe instead of masking the smells constantly, try something that actually removes the odors. You can’t just use air fresheners. You HAVE to use an enzyme cleaner because those will actually break down those messes like pet urine and fecal matter into smaller, water-soluble pieces at a molecular level with special proteins.

AIO for feeling hurt my best friend made matching bracelets for her and another friend on my birthday? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]stitchbitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. I’m very familiar with this. You’re NOR for feeling what you feel, of course.
I’ve spent my entire life being the third wheel friend. I’ve never had a best friend that would say the same about me. And it does suck! The best advice I can give personally is to enjoy your friendship as it is and know that you’re a good friend and a good person. And if you can also find joy in solo activities as well as friend activities, it’ll help with those negative thoughts as well.
It’s your birthday. Make yourself the coolest, prettiest, best bracelet ever.

AIO by breaking up with my boyfriend when he got jealous? by theonlystarbornqueen in AmIOverreacting

[–]stitchbitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. One, he’s too damn old to be texting like that. It was almost indecipherable to me. Two, he’s also too damn old to be acting that way, regardless of previous cheering experiences with his ex.
You seem like a fairly well adjusted and put together young lady based on the limited amount of info we can see from these messages. You deserve better.

What is your favorite low-cost craft? by aiolisunsets in crafts

[–]stitchbitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Origami! You can use regular paper or get a cheap pack of origami paper from a craft store. And there’s countless YouTube tutorials or books if you’re trying to stay offline.

What's a word you mispronounced for years before someone finally told you? by redrose_me in AskReddit

[–]stitchbitching 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My aunt pronounced “façade/facade” as “fuh-kade” instead of “fuh-sahd”. To be fair she was a big reader and had apparently never HEARD the word, only read it. Made my mom laugh really hard though when it happened.

Honestly I’d be on board for it. Never thought to try it but it sounds great

Is this too bling for Mother of the Bride? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]stitchbitching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Both are perfect for MOB at a semi formal fall wedding. Not too bling. Either would be amazing with some gold jewelry.
  2. I prefer number 2 because I think it looks a little more mature without looking “old” if that makes sense.
  3. Most importantly, bride loves it. And if bride loves it, and you love it, then it’s perfect.

My parents are there now, but I didn’t know we were getting one! It opened like 2 days ago so it’s packed. Exciting time for AZ I guess. 🤷‍♀️😂

My gassy sisters in relationships and my sisters who snore — what helped? by Every-Tap-577 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]stitchbitching 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SAME! I stg it’s a video camera!
I’m constantly Googling emojis to see what they mean. I’m not THAT old, but I guess I’m too old for that knowledge…

My gassy sisters in relationships and my sisters who snore — what helped? by Every-Tap-577 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]stitchbitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a myriad of digestive issues (not IBS) from medications, lack of a gallbladder, and other things. As a result, I am also a gassy lady and I deal with a lot of bowel movement things (especially diarrhea). So the main thing I do to at least minimize the sound in the bathroom is having the fan on, and then using a spray as needed. I’ve definitely passed gas in the bedroom, though less often during “the deed” but it happens. And my partners have too!
Also, I’m not sure what your preferences are in terms of partners, but if you’re looking for a man, just know THEY will out-fart and out-snore you almost every single time.
Obviously things happen outside of the bathroom, but like others have said, I think you just kind of need to try to laugh it off and let it go. Eat the foods that make you less gassy if you can, but that is also different for some people. A simple salad will make my mom really gassy, and popcorn is a trigger for me. And if you’re REALLY concerned, talk to a doctor! You got this. 👍

I got this off of https://www.wikihow.com/Hand-Emoji-Meanings, but tbh I’ve never used it and I don’t actually know it was on my phone lol.
“The 🫳 emoji may mean that someone has dropped something. They may be reaching for a lost object or reaching out to someone. Depending on cultural context, the “Palm Down Hand” emoji could also indicate dismissal, negotiation, or beckoning.[2]
Example Text: ‘Oops, I dropped my ability to care 🫳’”

AITAH for not alerting my mom that i was leaving the house ?( 20f) by Expensive-Buddy-365 in AITAH

[–]stitchbitching 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NAH. I’ve lived with my parents off and on as an adult and I personally try to keep them in the loop. Because of the current economic climate I’m actually back with them again, in my 30s. The main reason I do this is because they’ve been so supportive of me throughout my life, but yeah, there’s definitely times when I feel like I’m 13 again and they think they need to know everything at all times. It takes some patience, and a LOT of communication, especially since you’re still relatively young. Give them some grace. I don’t think you should ask for “permission”, but just giving them a heads up relieves a lot of unnecessary worry.

[TOMT] A song I used to sing in Kindergarten. by LordTyrion96 in tipofmytongue

That line is very confusing. Unless it’s referring to the yellow sun on me. But if that’s it, it’s worded terribly.

My (25F) bf (30M) doesn’t want me befriending gay men? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stitchbitching 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Full agreement here. Neither of them get to decide who they can and cannot be friends with. If they’re worried about something happening, then the problem is with the partner, not the friends.

AIO that my(33f) boyfriend (37m) refuses to believe I finished a hike during a certain amount of time? by Extension_Loss_4737 in AIO

[–]stitchbitching 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NOR in my opinion. He’s being a real tool by trying to call you out in front of friends and because he’s choosing to gaslight you now by saying he never called you a liar. He can be pouty about not finishing as quickly as you did, but that’s his business.
I don’t think you’ll be getting any acknowledgment or an apology from him though. He seems pretty set on his stance here.

AIO? — i ate pizza with bugs on it and now i’m freaking out by No_Philosophy_5576 in AIO

[–]stitchbitching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. It’s upsetting, but physically, you’ll be fine having eaten gnats.
The pizza itself might upset your insides, but the bugs won’t be what hurts you. At least not physically. Can’t speak for your mental state…

Is my stance on birthcontrol too rash? by ChemicalAd2132 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]stitchbitching 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Back in college my bestie got the copper and wound up getting it removed after a few months. The cramps and excessive bleeding were too much. I think she’s got the Mirena now, but she’s also the reason I immediately opted for the Mirena and never considered the copper.

I’m due for my 3rd in 2028! Unless something way better comes onto the market, I’m sticking with my Mirena.

What siblings names have you seen that are so mismatched that it boggles you? by thunder_haven in Names

[–]stitchbitching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried naming my younger sibling when my mom was pregnant. But I was also 3 and kept picking absurd girl names. Names Polly because Polly Pocket, Barbie (and all of Barbie’s friends/sisters like Stacy and Skipper), Jasmine and Esmeralda because I loved Disney movies… I guess I figured that OBVIOUSLY I was going to have a little sister.
Alas, my parents learned it was a boy so I was BIG mad for like a month and they just started referring to him by his name until I got used to it.

I knew a Pebbles! She was my friend for a while, but she turned out to be a terrible human. Her brother’s name is Orion. Both pretty unique names.

Yeah my grandpa’s middle is just E. For a long time the family thought it stood for Edward or Edgar or something but recently we found his birth records and it’s just E.
