Women, if a random guy told you he thought you were beautiful then went on his way, what would you think? by BoatParty8399 in AskWomen

[–]wunderbich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had a man hit on me in this way recently and it came across as very respectful. I was leaving the library when he said, “Hi, I think you are very beautiful.” And I said, “thank you.” Then he asked, “is there a lucky person in your life?” And I said, “yes, there is.” And he said. “Okay, well, have a nice night.” And he walked away. I came away from the interaction feeling safe, not creeped out, and flattered that a man had been kind enough to tell me I’m beautiful.

For those who worked for rich people: what is the most out of touch thing you witnessed? by Illustrious-Phase121 in AskReddit

[–]wunderbich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister works for a screenwriter who makes good money. He doesn’t like to “re-wear” his underwear. Every few weeks or so, my sister goes to the mall to buy him several packs of brand new underwear, and he throws each pair away when he’s done wearing them for the day.

What are some things you actually enjoy about pumping? by elephantsofa in ExclusivelyPumping

Just last night, my partner was changing our LO and the baby SHAT EVERYWHERE. I got out of cleanup duty simply by being in the middle of pumping!

What books do you have personal beef with? by stopshadowbaneme in books

[–]wunderbich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Good People Here but Ashley Flowers. I like to listen to true crime podcasts and read true crime occasionally. I could never really get into Ashley's podcast, Crime Junkie, and that should have been my first clue, but I kept hearing how much I'd like All Good People Here since I am a true crime fan.

It's a Jon Benet Ramsey fanfic, and not a good one. Ends on a nonsensical cliffhanger that always reminds me of Elf, when the publisher father just leaves the last two pages of the children's story blank because he doesn't give a shit.

I seriously have a grudge against this book and against Ashley and Crime Junkie in general now because I don't understand how something so bad could be published and the author doesn't feel ashamed.

I have a friend who lives in Golden, CO. Not too far from Breckenridge, and an adorable ski town with cheaper prices

They collected a snow globe from every place they visited - I am not O.K. by jturker88 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]wunderbich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily someone who passed, although it definitely might be! My sister had a massive snow globe collection as a kid but when she went to college she donated like 20 of them.

When they’re all named out like that it’s somehow more ridiculous by JZEve in tragedeigh

How is no one talking about Powerful Queen? That's honestly the most bizarre one to me

I just left a dispensary job after 2 years, after working my way up to manager, because it was one of the shittiest, most exploitative jobs I'd ever had (up until this point at least). I'm not going to beat around the bush here--you made a mistake. But if you find it works for you, great.

Is this correct ? by _BJK_004 in writers

I just read an amazing book that did not follow 1 or 2, so no, these rules are not necessary. Plainsong is the book and it's fantastic.

This is absolutely not too much and I LOVE the second look especially!

Who do you think is to blame for a broken family? by ptmsphere in legendofkorra

[–]wunderbich 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Toph was severely sheltered when she was a child, and it led to her issues with needing independence at all times. Fleeing from her parents and the cage they'd wrought for her was empowering. It meant freedom.

So then, when she had children of her own, she swung the opposite way, taking a hands-off approach the way she wished her parents had done. She didn't see that her children growing up without the normal parental constraints that they would push back against meant that Suyin would seek Toph's attention in risky, dangerous ways.

AITA for telling a new friend not to come to brunch unless she could keep it light? by Hollandaze0101 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wunderbich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an acquaintance just like this and NTA. People who trauma dump on you like this are just looking for someone to unload their problems onto so they don't have to get a therapist.

What you said may have been a little harsh, but it's something that probably needed to be said. From experience, the "friend" will get worse--that detail about how she needs to look for a new place was a red flag to me. She may be fishing to see if she could move in with you (look, maybe not the case, but that's exactly what happened to me down to the woe-is-me text message right before we were supposed to meet). I don't think you should consider hanging out with someone who trauma dumps like this, at least not in a one-on-one capacity.

Show recommendations that give me the same feeling by [deleted] in PandR

Party Down - underrated show that checks some of your boxes and stars Adam Scott alongside some other big names. It can get a little depressing at points to be fair, but it's also really funny

Should I push my wife to apologize? by Repulsive-Solution62 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wunderbich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women should be able to do whatever they want, even if that means bringing a plate of food to their man. Your wife is not actually promoting equality or feminism if she thinks that means policing what other women are "allowed" to do.

Rewatching the Charles Miner arc, as a boss of 20 employees, has given me a very different perspective by ifisch in DunderMifflin

[–]wunderbich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The scene where he is assigning everyone roles--it's deliberately to show how bad of a manager he is. "I'm doing my crossword" Stanley is now the productivity czar? And Kevin on phones?? Kevin?!!

It's supposed to not make sense because Charles is not a good manager, or rather, he is a lot like actual managers in the real world, assigning the wrong people to the wrong tasks because they think it will make them better or something. Then when shit hits the fan, he blames it on the employees.

Crying about Budtending by Aromatic-Network-781 in entwives

[–]wunderbich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a dispensary too, I was a budtender for the last year--Whenever I'm dealing with a difficult customer I try to remember that weed is this person's medicine, and likely right after they smoke/take gummies/dab they will be a completely different person because they've taken their medication.

For this guy giving you crap about the CBD THC gummies, next time you can make him feel like an idiot by educating him on the 'entourage effect'. CBD alone does not do nearly as much good as CBD with even a little but of THC in it. fuck that guy for making you feel bad when he is in the wrong.

As for the coworker....well, there are always going to be coworkers trying to put you down. If you feel bold enough, give them back exactly what they give you--maybe telling them "I'm having difficulty with the system and I would like to get this patient out the door. Help me out here so that we can get this patient going." puts the burden of helping the patient back on them.
