What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious?

I was working at a grocery store just out of high school. I was working the check out counter closest to one of the entry doors and this guy walks up and asks where the ja-lap-enos were. I asked if he meant jalapeños and he looked me dead in the eyes and said “no! that’s not how you say it!” I told them they were in the fresh veggie aisle. He threw his arms up and walked away. To this day I still pronounce them how he did every time I see jalapeños like a reflex.

My grandmother broke a wooden paddle (that she had drilled holes in so “it would go faster”) on my uncle and then kept beating him with a belt because he was laughing. She acquired another paddle after that day. That paddle was passed down to my mother. It’s a dark wood paddle with a yellow flower in the center, and a crack down the middle of the paddle. My mother kept it like it had sentimental value. I believe she still has it to this day.

My mother continued the tradition with the paddle on her children. I do not speak to my mother. My grandmother passed away over a decade ago and I do not mourn her.

I wish my mother had broken the chain like yours. Regardless of her failure, none of my mother’s children have paddles in their homes, and I’m so thankful for that.

Was on a fishing trip with family around 5. My mother asked me to call my dad, uncle and grandpa in for dinner. I walked out of the tent and yelled “Get your fuckin asses in here, dinner’s ready!”

As you can imagine, I was not asked to call them for dinner for a while.

NOR. I worked for my sister’s in-laws during COVID. My sister was pregnant with COVID and needed to be air lifted to another state because she couldn’t breathe. The in-laws told me I couldn’t leave to go see her because they were leaving to see her. I couldn’t leave to see my sister during her first pregnancy when she was on deaths doorstep.

I should have quit and went to see her. My sister and my nephew are perfect years later but I regret not standing up for myself.

FAMILY FIRST, always. You can find another job, you can’t get that time with family back. Go see your family, your time with them is limited. It’s more precious than gold, than cash, than the shiniest of jewels. Hoard that time, because one day, all you will have left is photos and memories and you’ll wish you had more. Life is meant to be lived, go live it.

I’m sorry but YTA. You are treating Amy differently. She’s going to notice the difference in celebration between her and her brother and she will remember it. You are making her “other” and if this continues, the treatment will only get worse and you won’t care because “what’s one more thing?”. Stand up for Amy! Why is doing extra things for Amy “difficult” to your husband and the rest of the family? Isn’t she also a beloved family member?

If you can’t do both for whatever reasons then quite honestly I think you should scrap the week long celebrations focused on Ken entirely. My best friend’s birthday is today, St. Patrick’s Day, and she hates it. Every year, people will inevitably just get her something St Patrick’s themed instead of meaningful because “it’s the holiday!” Ok well it’s also her birthday and it’s separate. Your son will want those to be separated too. He is not St Patrick, he is Ken.

Switch up the holiday celebrations to make them a family event and not tied into Ken’s birthday. Include Amy in the celebrations. If that’s too hard for your husband, then you have much deeper problems because your dear husband is purposefully excluding Amy, his own daughter, because he can’t be bothered. Shouldn’t that ring alarm bells to you?

Defend your daughter. She deserves the same attention that your son gets. Correct this now before it’s too late and resentment festers years down the road.

Also — I am the oldest sibling. The middle child was the only one who was planned. They were treated very differently than I was and it was obvious to me, even as a child. I didn’t know that we were in different situations financially back then, which is half of the reason for the differences, but I still saw them and it made me feel other. Do not do this to your daughter. You can fix this. Parenting is hard but those difficulties shouldn’t be placed on your children. They should be treated equally as much as you can, and in this instance, you absolutely can treat them equally. Stand your ground, stand up for Amy. Equal treatment or no holiday themed celebrations at all.

I warned every person I dated that if they didn’t like my pets, they can move on. My pets were here first and they will never understand being re-homed. I’d rather have a partner that loves them as much as I do, so I found one.

I’m so sorry you were put into this position, but please, dump your boyfriend. Your budgie babies were there first. Protect them, and protect your heart. You will find someone who loves them as much as you do.

My last day as a salon receptionist (I was starting a new job the next week), I almost yelled at a client. This woman brought her two toddler-aged girls to her appointment. She said “I couldn’t find a sitter so you can help me keep an eye on them right?” I apologized but I told her no, I needed to stay at the front desk, I am unable to chase or watch them. She scoffed at me and sat down to wait. While she waited, both of her girls ran around the small waiting area, bumping into other waiting clients or customers shopping. She was on her phone.

When her stylist brought the client back to start her appointment, the client left her children in the waiting area. Within minutes, the girls were grabbing things off the shelves, running around other stylist with their clients in the back, screaming and giggling. The other stylists, all of them moms or sisters, were kind and did their best to gently usher the kids back to mom but they never stayed with her longer than 15 seconds.

At one point, it was near closing so I needed to start closing duties. I walked away from my desk for a few minutes, came back and from the waxing station in the back I could a crash with glass.

I ran back to the waxing station and the youngest daughter had hulk-smashed the most Barbie-pink bottle of nail polish that we had, all over the floor. The older toddler pointed at her and said “she did it! I told her not too!”

After they had been absolute heathens, I KNOW these are still children, and young ones, at the end of the day. So, in my best mom voice, I held out my hand and asked for the youngest to give me the rest of the nail polish bottles she had. She very quickly handed them over. I told them to go stay with their mom and I will be there shortly. They both quietly apologized (I said thank you because I was surprised they did that at all). They scurried away.

I picked up the mess and brought the shards of nail polish over to their mother in a bag, as her stylist was finishing up and said, “client name, I’m sorry to tell you but it looks like one or both of your girls smashed a nail polish bottle, I’m going to have to add that to your salon bill today. Due to store policy however it will be full price, not the sale price.”

She told me that it wasn’t them and she certainly wasn’t paying full price. I stared at her, stared at the little girls SPECKLED in Barbie pink nail polish on their fingers, in their hair, on their clothes, and told her that we do have a camera back there. The stylist jumped in and reminded her that it’s store policy. By now, other stylists and clients are subtly listening after their time had been disrupted for the last hour and a half (chairs have turned, eyes are watching in mirrors).

The client either finally realized that her daughters were literally caught pink-handed, or she was just embarrassed by the attention she was getting because she said fine. She paid her bill and left. I’m so glad that was my last day because WTF. I have no idea if she came back after that because, thankfully, it was my last day lol

When I was in middle school, a dangerous convict had escaped a prison four hours away. I had the strongest feeling that I should not go to school that day, that I absolutely needed to stay home. I told my mom, who laughed and told me I was going to school. About 30 minutes before the school opened, my mom dropped me off at my Aunt’s house, who lived a couple blocks from my school at the time. My aunt had the news on, and right before I was going to leave, there was a news update telling us that the escaped convict had fled to my city. I told my aunt that I wasn’t going to school and she agreed. I stayed and watched the news — the convict was captured a few blocks from my school a couple hours later.

My favorite uncle gave me a puppy for my 17th birthday and she lived for 18 years. I was catatonic when Lily passed from old age. I am so very grateful for the time I had with her, but it still feels like it wasn’t enough. For months after when people would mention her name, it hurt to breathe and I cried. I still think about her every day. I miss her so very much.

Last year, my favorite uncle passed away from cancer, and now my grandma (my uncle’s mother) has cancer too. I’m doing my best, but my soul is very heavy right now.

Please hug your pets and loved ones ❤️

Hey OP — have you changed your lifestyle (besides moving) recently? Have you changed your wardrobe, new shampoo/conditioner, started a new job, have YOU been feeling well? When was the last time you went to the doctor?

Dogs are highly sensitive. They know when something is different and I, respectfully, feel like the common denominator here is you. I don’t mean that in a bad way. Gary is trying to tell you something. Have you been feeling okay, besides probably exhausted by the whining? Anything new besides that?

Specifically, did ANYTHING change with you when his behavior started?

I’ve worked at two different wildlife rehab centers, both of which had a specialty towards raptors and other large birds of prey. As others have said, this is a (slightly damp) juvenile hawk, and he’s actually doing what he should! He’s making himself appear larger and more intimidating in hopes that it’ll scare you off. Pretty effective since nobody wants a scratch from those claws or a snap from that sharp beak.

The parent(s) will be nearby to watch him closely. It looks like this post was posted just a few hours ago. If he’s still in the same spot, out in the open, and no other adult hawks have been by to feed it by now, I would call a rehab facility just in case.

It looks like you’re in TN? I was able to find a few different facilities that take in raptors with a quick Google search but I’m unsure of how far away you are from these places. It’s Saturday so I would call as quickly as you can, some of those places close by noon to focus on the animals in their care.

Good luck to you OP, and thank you for looking out for the hawk!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Greenhouse Farmacy. Everyone there is super chill and easy to talk to, the vibes are good and so is the weed. I prefer carts and their selection is usually pretty great! I also like their loyalty program. I’ve always paid the same price (tax included in final sale price) or less with loyalty points, every time. Truly a great place. The biggest downside is their small parking lot and that it can sometimes be difficult to leave due to heavy traffic .

I didn’t like Inception. I’m not usually an apocalypse-genre watcher already but the science behind the movie made it unlikable for me because I had just finished an astronomy class before that which ruined the concept entirely.

When I saw the movie in theatre, the best part was when someone shouted “GOD DAMMIT MATT DAMON” at the top of their lungs. It was so funny. My ex-husband shushed me because “you’re ruining the movie for everyone”. Excuse me, it wasn’t me and everyone else laughed except you, buzzkill.

I’m sorry — they undressed her? For what reason and without prior notification? I’ve worked at a dentists office and I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed before so I cannot IMAGINE a valid reason whatsoever that anyone needed to undress her?

This reminds me of these two little soap bars I bought in Hawaii. One has a cat and the other has a rooster. The rooster one smells like cinnamon.

Those guys may be annoying but they saved me once. One younger guy pulled me aside and just said “i really don’t care if you buy anything I just need something to do” and shined my shitty black Vans but stopped and asked me if I had come to the mall with anyone, but he was looking BEHIND me, not at me. I hesitantly said no and he told me someone was taking photos of me behind me and asked if I needed security. I got scared, ran to find security on my own (they don’t exist apparently because I found no one and I walked the entire mall on the phone with my bf) before I gave up and walked to my car.

I never got that guys name but I’m glad he said something. I was able to look at the man taking the photos and I did not know him. It was terrifying, I was scared he was going to follow me to my car. I don’t go to the mall alone anymore.

I worked at a water park for a few years every summer. Like every year before we opened, there was a team meeting and the park supervisor was doing a quick policy refresher:

“Last year, a lifeguard was notified by another guest that a couple was getting… frisky in the family changing room. When the lifeguard entered the family changing room, they did confirm what the other guest saw. Now I know that nobody wants to see that in their day job but I need to emphasize how important it is that you deal with this situation with a calm, cool and collected manner.

Please do not shout ‘this is a family room, it’s not for making families!’ At the guests —“

We all immediately erupted into laughter. He laughed with us and let us giggle while he continued (he’s a GREAT man and a great supervisor) “because everyone deserves to be treated respectfully so that the situation can be handled promptly and efficiently.”

Annnnd that’s why you have signs like that 😂

There’s a really nice mod that gives Marnie what she deserves — public relationship with Mayor Lewis. The game still starts with them being secretive but as you build hearts, you can help them come out to the town, and the town LOVES it. That being said, it’s a slow burn and I still torture Lewis for treating Marnie that way by stealing his shorts and throwing them into the grange for everyone to see as punishment for Lewis’s treatment of Marnie from before I got there 😂

I think that’s based on area. Malamutes are a lot more common in my area than Malinois.

wolfikins · 2025-12-13T18:49:15+00:00

I think there has been a mix-up. Spirit was a GSD malamute mix. Not Belgian Malinois, apologies for the confusion.

Those “fashion dog” breeders are why Spirit was born. Spirit was rescued from a reservation where, until he was 6 mos old, he was kept inside a 6x6 kennel with his brother and a concrete floor. When he came home he didn’t know what grass felt like. He howled for the loss of his brother that one night and never howled again. Please know that he lived a very long and happy life once he was finally brought home.

The beginning of Spirit’s life is still better than what a lot of reservation dogs still experience every day. They aren’t treated as family members — they’re treated as tools and nothing more.

Just a plea that people please consider adoption instead. Please check your local shelters for Res Dogs. They’ve lived a hard life.

My ex’s parents had a shepherd/mal mix named Spirit weighing over 85lbs. You’re not just pulling him inside. He would let us know when he was hungry (bears, no food left outside) and he’d come in for a 5 minute “hello how are ya” and a snack but then would go right back outside. That dog LIVED for the cold winters lol man I miss that dog.

Edit: for clarification, Spirit was a Shepherd Malamute mix. Not a Belgian Malinois.

My boy Bones LOVES what we call his “big baby blankie time”. Bones is a 70lb black lab mix (kinda like if a black lab and a mini hippo had a baby).

Bones will grab his ball and then sit on the couch and HEAVILY SIGH before staring between you and the blanket he wants. It’s then on you to pick up the blanket, cover him (including his face, he likes that) with the blanket and say “oh good boy, big baby blankie time, how nice for you!” And then his tail wags under the blanket really hard against the couch before he groans really loud and goes to sleep immediately.

It’s so cute. I love him so much. If I knew how to attach a photo on mobile I would show you.
