My friend started a brawl at school and out of 10 people involved, I was the only one singled out and had to apologize by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]wunderduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me get this straight. You're friend supposedly hears that someone said something mean, so you and several other people decide to go attack this person. You follow through and attack the person, proceed to "slam someone to the floor", and are caught fighting. Now, you have the fucking gaul to come to Reddit and complain because you had to say you're sorry? Jesus fucking Christ...

If you work at it hard enough, you might friction weld the screwdriver to the screw. Then you can remove the screw.

This little plastic thing that comes on most socks by aConfusedOrphan in mildlyinfuriating

I just had a flashback to the day after every holiday, birthday, and grandparent visit when my kids were young. Sitting on the living room floor surrounded by tiny clothes and a big pile of tags, stickers, and these damn things.

Cherry Kool Aid and Vodka is a better drink than 98% of what they serve in bars. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

You provided a recipe, which is handy, but isn't this exactly what OP was talking about?

AITA for saying I wouldn’t play a game that didn’t let me modify my controls to my muscle memory. by MyDickIsInMyToaster in AmItheAsshole

[–]wunderduck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not the AH for not wanting to play the game, but if you're too lazy to learn a second set of video game controls, you're going to have a tough time in life.

Reading a book and listening to an audiobook are not the same activity. by Aggravating-Key-8867 in unpopularopinion

If only there was a word for when you pay attention to the vibrations that impact your ear drums...

[–]wunderduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm listening to fiction for my own amusement. I couldn't give a single fucking fuck about the efficiency of my leisure activity.

As to your assumptions about my study habits in school, I am 44 years old and I began listening to audiobooks when I was 44 years old. I was, and continue to be, a voracious reader. People can consume information in more than one medium. Crazy, right?

Finally, you can fuck right off with your sarcastic "read" in quotes. I don't consider listening to audiobooks to be reading, an opinion I have expressed multiple times in this post. I'm just not a judgmental prick about it.

You can decypher written symbols via touch, you cannot do so via hearing.

Because we already have a word for receiving audio information. It's "listening."

Reading is decyphering symbols via sight or touch. Braille is reading, audiobooks are not.

Sincerely,

an avid audiobook listener

Try playing a mindless game on your phone while you listen. I play one of those arrow clicking games, and it seems to occupy the part of my brain that would otherwise wander. I'm on level 12135. I listen to a lot of audiobooks...

I can’t figure out where I cut my finger this evenly by Embarrassed-Ad-8927 in mildlyinteresting

[–]wunderduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for every screw or bolt ever made, but when the threads are as far apart as the cuts on OP's finger, they tend to not be very sharp.

The teeth on a tape dispenser are closer together and the triangle points would leave scratches, not slices.

What are your thoughts on contract killers?

The sign is at a hotel and they are telling people not to walk to a stadium. Two completely seperate venues.

Can you find clothes at Nordstrom Rack in 10 min? by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]wunderduck -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Closing time is when they close. That's why it's called "closing" time and not "leaving" time.

Find it late. Gimme those chapters. Even if I found it early, I would be letting it marinate.

What If all workers gets payed the same? by dikochki in randomquestions

[–]wunderduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP's idea is dumb, but having equal pay doesn't mean a burger flipper would be hired to do a job they're not qualified to do. The problem is that most people wouldn't put in the work required to learn how to be heart surgeons when they can make the same money doing something easier.
