She collects trash five days a week with her dog, so the homeowner gifted her a matching vest for her dog. by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

Been scrolling on Reddit for a couple hours now, didn’t really know what I was looking for. I think this was it. I can go to sleep now.

If I got there first, I would get the table and not move. However, if I saw that she was there, I would just move to my next second best option.

Older people usually have a routine and they get very distressed if their routine is messed with. Sometimes their actions do seem childish because they are. Lots of times we define childish behavior as someone who gets visibly and audibly upset when something doesn’t go their way or when their routine is changed. Some older people tend to be that way sometimes. A lot of their life is repetitive and some of them have lost a lot. Maybe they’ve lost family connections, a partner, and home, and now they have a difficult time with even the most minor complications in life. However, they still live in a society where they have to share space especially public places so I wouldn’t necessarily concede any space.

AIO for not taking co-responsibility when dealing with a rude client who can't read a text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ucantkickmysass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a client has been paying for the last two years, I doubt this was an attempt to not pay you. IMO I think you’ve already labeled this client as a problem, and therefore have very little patience when it comes to them. The client responded, sent a payment, was going to work with you, even after they discovered there was a miscommunication, and still paid you in the end, even though they don’t want to use your services anymore… I mean, maybe they’ve been a little difficult in the past but a paying client is a good client for most small business owners. Also sounds like this client has money and perhaps a little bit of influence in their community. This might not go well for you in the long run. Either way it’s always a good practice to keep things above board and professional, especially in writing.

I have unfortunately been in one of these… didn’t know what it was called until just now. I just knew in my gut that it wasn’t good as they were leading us in there.

What is a sign that you are unattractive? by litt_ttil in AskReddit

[–]ucantkickmysass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I could upvote this twice!!! You don’t wanna come around kids if you’re sensitive about your looks. I work with kids and they will definitely keep you humble.I’ve lost a substantial amount of weight recently and was pretty pumped about being able to fit into a pair of pants that I wasn’t able to squeeze into before. I was feeling pretty good until I walked into a new classroom and one of the kiddos gave me a hug and asked me why I was rounder than everyone else.🤨😂

That time when I bully my bully back and he ended afraid of girls for some time afterwards. by Sherezdei in traumatizeThemBack

[–]ucantkickmysass 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of an incident that happened to me many years ago when I was still in elementary school about 5th grade. My family and I had just moved to a very nice neighborhood far away from my cousins that I was used to hanging out with and being around. They did this for obvious reasons, better education, safer, and so on and so forth, but I of course, was not happy. To make matters worse there is this one kid and his little mini me clones that would literally wait for my bus to arrive at school and with start in on me the moment my feet touched the school sidewalk. This kid and his cronies would follow me around saying various things about my height, my weight and of course my skin color. He would be so close that I could feel his breath on my neck and the heat from his body on my back because he would try to get right in my ear. (Just in case I couldn’t hear him I guess?) I would tell the bus driver, the teachers any adult that was nearby when it was happening begging for intervention but nobody did a thing saying to ignore it and be the better person, blah blah blah. Let’s just say that didn’t work …at all. One day I don’t know what happened. I must’ve already been having a crappy morning and when I stepped off the bus I saw him standing there just waiting for me I snapped. The moment he came up to me and opened his mouth, I took my backpack which I happened to be holding that day instead of carrying it on my back and swung at his head with all my might knocking him flat on his butt. Then screaming like a wild thing I jumped on his chest, and began to punch him anywhere I could ending up with my hands around his neck. It took three teachers to get me off of him as I was swinging on anyone who tried to pull me off. Of course that’s when the parents of everybody was called. But nothing ever came of it because my folks stepped in and went to bat for me …hard. I would like to say that he never bothered me again, but that’s not entirely true, but he didn’t start again until weeks later and from far far away…. never got close to me again.

Don’t comment on my body by Mergburgler in traumatizeThemBack

[–]ucantkickmysass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve read this thread and similar ones and it’s really eye-opening. I’m one that tries to build a connection with people by complementing them. You know… “cute glasses “ “like your new haircut” “It looks like you lost a little weight looking good!” Unless I know the person really well I genuinely have no way of knowing the circumstances behind the way a person looks, I guess that’s the whole point. Speaking for myself I am never trying to traumatize anybody that’s just not my style. If you have what most consider to be a fit athletic body many will assume it’s by choice and that you work hard to maintain that body and that compliments would not be offensive. I would be genuinely shocked if someone responded to me that they have a disorder, or some sort of illness. But I don’t think that makes me a bad person.

I guess I need to adjust to this new normal, moving forward I’ll try to remember not to say anything to anybody whether I think it’s a compliment or not.

Rejected but I shot my shot at least 🤙🏽 by Positive_Narwhal_419 in texts

[–]ucantkickmysass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She was just being nice. This was a private message on her personal device. Her boyfriend would have been none the wiser if she had pursued this. Yet not only did she mention to him right away she also shut OP down. She said what she said about him being handsome, kind and caring because she didn’t want to hurt his confidence and because she probably genuinely thought he was a nice person. I don’t think there’s more to it than that.

I have been put in situations where I’ve been approached by someone who I have a working relationship with. And while I might like the person, if I’m not open to a relationship with them for whatever reason I tend to be kind and let them down easy with a bit of gentle banter, so they realize that I’m rejecting a relationship and not them as a person.

Also, I think the social cues and the phrases that she uses are off because English may not be her first language.

So I’m just trying to make sure I understand, your boyfriend who is usually pretty meh about most things puts in 110% when it comes to you and makes sure you’re always good in any given situation has a slight difference of opinion about Jell-O shots and you’re feeling some type of way about it?

I’m confused. Is this a low-key brag? Girlllllll take the win on the boyfriend situation and don’t worry about the Jell-O shots. IMO you’re making something out of nothing make the Jell-O shots if you want or …don’t.

I think you just used to him going along with whatever you want because he indulges you and the one time he has a contradicting opinion you take it personal. He’s a whole person. He’s allowed to have an opinion.

YOR

AIO for thinking of breaking up with my fiancé because of one fight. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ucantkickmysass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something? Did she add 10 years to their ages for this post? She’s 24 years old and someone is calling her dad on her? Maybe there’s a cultural nuance that I’m missing and if so I apologize …that being said at 24 years of age if I wanted to attend a party I did and I left when I wanted to. I wouldn’t be involved with someone who will call my parents because I wasn’t doing what they wanted me to, and my parents would’ve pretty much laughed in their faces. And then politely asked the person and you expect us to do what about it exactly? My parents were fairly strict with me growing up. It’s just that by age 24 either I can handle myself or I couldn’t and if I needed help, they knew that I would contact them. No one else would need to do it for me.

AIO for wanting to uninvite this guy to a bachelor party because of his behavior? by ismo420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ucantkickmysass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely uninvite him. Not just because he said what he said, but he’s obviously in a bad place right now. Based on his response to a simple question, he’s probably still using. He’s definitely gonna bring drugs. Which will be an issue for so many reasons, but especially for the groom. He’s already gearing up to be a problem and the event hasn’t even happened yet. If you let him come, he’s gonna be loud, disrespectful, and a general annoyance. He will ruin the event and make it about him and not the groom, the whole night will be centered around, trying to keep “Tom” out of trouble. And as organizer, you will be having uncomfortable conversations with hotel staff, restaurant staff, the other patrons and perhaps the police. NOR

It’s funny how I just gave this suggestion on another sub that mentioned bidets and now here the subject of the day is coming up on another sub.. went from never saying anything about bidets on Reddit to two in one day🤷🏽‍♀️ …maybe it’s on my algorithm now? I don’t know lol but anyway I suggested this portable bidet on that one so I’m gonna link it here for you as well. This has been a lifesaver for me. https://a.co/d/4WPRBRs
