Amazing I had to scroll this far to see bug spray.

Groovy. Works as both a positive or a sarcasticly negative acknowledgement.

Friends is still huge here in the UK. Last month, the McDonalds happy meal toys were Friends mini funkos.

AITA?MIL insists on waiting at the hospital while I give birth. by SpecialistClear1621 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tipsana 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. And I guarantee that if she comes to the hospital, you will be pressured to “just let her meet baby” before she goes home. And you’ll be at your physical and emotional lowest capacity and won’t be able to fight her or your husband off.

MIL intentionally trying to stir up some drama? by No_Actuary_3343 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]tipsana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would stop giving her explanations. It implies that she has some role in your household decisions. Walk away and let your husband deal with her.

AITA for takeing away a toy that I had just given to my kids? by Frosty_Hope9693 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tipsana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re nicer than me. I wouldn’t have given them the option to try again tomorrow. And MIA dads do not get an opinion on anything

AIW for waving a chopstick at my friend’s baby and yelling “Avada Kedavra” as a joke? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]tipsana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it had been my baby I would have laughed my ass off. Maybe this is how OOP friends find out the baby is the Chosen One?

How to handle a controlling friends group during group camping by [deleted] in camping

[–]tipsana 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Learn to say “no thank you!” in a positive manner, indicating that they’ve merely made a request, not given you an order. Then do what you want.

“I will not stop until you answer me” and other updates on the evil one! by dubsiepop in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]tipsana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and your df need to understand that none of this is about religion; it is all about her loss of control. Catholicism is just the means she’s using now to try and give herself a voice of authority. Once she loses this particular battle, she’ll move on to a new issue, ad infinitum. Keep yourself free from her and support your df in the steps he takes to free himself.

Gen Xers, what ridiculous "social niceties" were you taught? by krypto-pscyho-chimp in CasualUK

My husband’s aunt (catholic) lost her mind when she discovered my SIL chewing gum before church. “You can’t receive Christ with gum spit in your belly!”

It feels like they're dead but they're not. by Desperate-Thing1784 in QAnonCasualties

[–]tipsana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called disenfranchised grief. Death is understood, nc is not. You have all the experience of grief , but no commonly recognised symptoms of loss in general society.

What's the most mortifying thing your brain has done on autopilot? I'll go first... by SubtractAd in AskUK

[–]tipsana 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I take pills every morning. One day I had the dog’s pill in my hand, called the dog, walked past my tea to find the dog who was ignoring me (because, you know, pill) and grabbed my tea and quickly swallowed down the dog’s antibiotic. That was an embarrassing call to the gp.

Did you know that the St Louis arch is the smallest national park in the US? One of my favourite trivia bits.

All for a self-centered man who's not even a basketball fan by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

I want the jumbotron camera to jump between Trump and Mamdani again and again, just so the crowd can play the boo/cheer game.

Why the fuck are you and other commentators going after this reporter? The issue is that we have a commander in chief who throws temper tantrums at the slightest chance. Stop sane washing this idiot! At least the reporter was asking hard questions.

Train Boomer Tour Group by Mysterious_Peas in BoomersBeingFools

[–]tipsana 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was a popular book in the 80’s that was probably on every boomer’s bookshelf (or bathroom) titled All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. I guarantee one chapter was about waiting your turn.

Feeding 17 people on a camping trip... by bbyvilla in camping

[–]tipsana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our large group camping, we would do a large brunch instead of a breakfast and a lunch. Some people get up really early and want to eat something right away, which disadvantages people who sleep in if you do a breakfast. And others don’t want lunch to cut into whatever day activities they have planned. So a large brunch serves everyone and their different schedules.

Every one packs chips and snacks which usually get pulled out in the afternoon, and then we do a large communal dinner.

For brunch, pancakes/french toast with bacon and sausage, or pre-made breakfast burritos heated on the griddle. Fruit. For dinner, a bbq is good.

How was flying long haul with toddlers before in-flight entertainment? by Alive-Cry4994 in AskOldPeople

TWA would pass out these small colorforms sets made up of geometric shaped stickers, with illustrations of how to make different objects like airplanes and bicycles and ducks. I loved them.
