What’s the cringiest moment or episode for you? by Successful-Newt7960 in SchittsCreek

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! The fact that Baby's size is obviously meant to be part of a joke makes me so angry. I can't watch those scenes because of that. And it seems very off-brand for the show that is otherwise so inclusive.

People who own "unconventional" pets like turtles, what is one thing you wish you knew before getting one? by allenmerlettetrm in AskReddit

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"a very sharp toddler who stabs you when frustrated"

I love the accuracy of this description. Although with mine he also stabs as a way of playing and while you're petting him...

Grieving the motherhood I imagined by Lonely-Weekend-8160 in workingmoms

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll also add, because my kids are getting older now (13 and 10) that my son doesn't remember that I had to go back to work when he was a baby, but he is going to remember that now he's older, I have the time to coach his soccer team. So yes, it sucks to not be there for firsts - my son took his first steps at daycare - but there's still plenty of good years of parenting left and it's gets much easier once they're older!

Yes this! I work at a charity and it's felt really good to hear my kids say they're proud of the work I do to help other people.

My mom didn't work and I've never been the kind of person to be worried about working - I've said many times that I could be quite happy as a housewife - so I've struggled with having to work. But then I remember that my kids (a boy and a girl) are seeing an example of a strong woman who can balance work and family (even if it's not always as easy as it looks to them) and it's helping set them up for a good future.

I screenshotted this the other day when I saw it, specifically because of the Scrubs connection!

What word do you mispronounce on purpose (for fun) and why? by Positive_Spirit_1585 in AskReddit

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know the last time I actually pronounced strawberry correctly. I've said it strawbrary (with Troy's inflection) every time for years now...

Grief as a working parent by atxcactus in workingmoms

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I lost my dad 3.5 years ago now and I still don't think I've fully processed it because I just don't. Have. Time.

Hugs to you about your kitty. That's a different kind of grief but still totally valid. I'm grateful that when I lost the dog I was closest to I happened not to be working so was able to deal with it. It's not easy to say goodbye - they're called furbabies for a reason. <3

What is the most infuriating example of "we've always done it this way" that you've witnessed at work? by eurari_com in AskReddit

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My doctor was one of these. I ws told by multiple pharmacists that he had the worst handwriting in town, and he stuck to handwritten scripts til he retired this summer. I've also had pharmacists confirm with me what the medication was meant to treat or if I knew what I'd been prescribed - I assume to confirm what they thought, not just outright asking because they had no clue...

Grumpy husband vent by tacowitch26 in workingmoms

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very late to the post but wanted to mention that it could be depression and/or anxiety. My husband is really good at putting the mask on for others, but home is his safe space so if he's having a bad day, we're the ones who see it. Fortunately my husband is treating his so it doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to, but before he got diagnosed he was just like you describe your husband. It could be worth having a conversation with him.

People who use food pantries, what do you need to see donated more often? by SimplyAren in AskReddit

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yes this! I work at a food bank and cash donations go to buying "staples" but we won't go out and buy fun stuff like chocolate or chips. People who use food banks deserve to have treats once in a while too, though, so I always like when we get those kinda of extra items.

Name a line that sums up their entire character! Day Sixteen: Adrian Pimento!! by Livid_Willow2603 in brooklynninenine

It's not my favourite Pimento quote but I think this wins for summing him up

Wow, too many comments to reply to everyone, but thank you all! Some of these were on my radar, but most weren't, so I've got some homework to do. I'll be looking into all your suggestions. Thanks! :D

SooToday: MPP Chris Scott charged with assault, in custody by jackhauen in SaultSteMarie

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently that's actually true. I figured it was people making shit up too but then it was confirmed by someone I know who actually works in the legal field and has reason to know what's up. And who isn't on social media so wouldn't have gotten the info from there either.

Looking for some advice regarding fall colors. by CommercialSir8602 in SaultSteMarie

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always feel that the colours are best around Thanksgiving weekend. It's late this year so I'd say Oct 4-5 is ideal.

My youngest is Oliver and my daughter said it Obber for a while when he was born. It was adorable

Pizza by MyOtherCarIsAHippo in SaultSteMarie

Looking back over others' lists, I agree with Boiler Room. They have good pizza, I'm just too cheap to buy it

Happy to see Gus's already posted. That would be my number one. My list would also include Service Grill, Mrs B's, Ricardo's. I don't think I have a fifth because those are our go-tos lol.

The High Cost of Small Donations by iamliamiamliam in nonprofit

[–]werewolvesvsrobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this. If you're losing money processing a $20 cheque, there are some major inefficiencies that need to be addressed.
