I still end up with ink all over my hand when I'm in a hurry. poo poo like this:

Lefties dragging their hands across fresh ink or graphite always kind of made me wonder how everyone else deals with it in languages that use right to left scripts like Arabic or Hebrew. Especially in countries where (presumably) you can't cheat and learn to use the left hand, because it's the dirty one.

It actually stuck to the point where I'm effectively right-handed now with crappy handwriting and no way to go back. Yeah, I'm positive my mom did this with me at an early age, resulting in the exact same outcome. She denies it, but then my now ex-wife and I caught her trying to do it with our son when he was an infant, doing things like pulling spoons out of his left hand and putting them in his right. She still denies it, but she stopped doing it when we called her on it.

System Metternich posted:It is/was actually not just a Catholic problem, tons of parents and schools and whatnot forced children to use their right hand. In many Asian countries this is apparently still the norm, even. Some countries it's like that b/c you don't have toilet paper etc so one hand is your "dirty hand" and one hand is the clean hand, so extending your dirty hand is seen as an insult, and so you want everyone to have the same dirty and clean hand so that they're not comin at you with that poo finger that's what my firend who is indian told me when we were like 10 sweeperbravo has a new favorite as of 00:39 on Feb 24, 2017 |

Ask and ye shall receive, Mr Belpit: Paintball quote:This Troper doesn't really know whether he's just crazy or determined. Once, he was going to be late for lesson and was riding his bike at full speed, and caught a tree by riding too much near the borders. He fell two meter further, almost scrapped his bike, which hit a nearby car. He got up one second later with a headache (and some bruises and injuries, thankfully they were all covered by whether the hair or the clothes, save for a thin stream of blood that he quickly swiped away), excused himself to the conductor, and just went to the high school anyways. Miraculously, he wasn't late in the end, though he had to follow the lessons with a headache and got some drips of blood on his sheets. He was pretty much fine after a good night of sleep. Another day, he was almost going to miss the tram and while he was running, he tripped on the rugged sidewalk and sprained both his palms and his knees. He still caught the train and managed to not be late at his meeting with his classmates, and that was because we scheduled to play Paintball (in order to celebrate the end of high school, mind you). In the end, he was playing with busted hand palms and knees, and still lasted to the end. Yeah, maybe he's just plain crazy. Knee quote:This troper seems to have a knee made of plasticine and balsa wood. Following an old track injury, it has become a daily grind not to knock it out of line or injure it; a perfect example comes from my High School days. Out with a few friends and having a good time, I managed to dislocate the joint and shift the cap purely by taking a step while pigeontoed (that is to say, with my toes turned inwards) that required a doctor and a metric ton of painkillers to put back in place. Fun Trope to live with. Fencing quote:This troper's feet are rotated about 45 degrees out, while her knees are rotated about 45 degrees in (Body Horror, anyone?), which has predisposed her for knee injuries. While bouncing lightly on her toes before fencing practice, she somehow managed to snap something inside of her kneecap that basically sprained her knee. To this day, the doctor still has no idea what the hell she did to herself. Both of her knees pop and snap with no warning, and the joints will start getting loose and snapping around if she's been standing for too long. Joints quote:This troper's joints exhibit this. They crack loudly when flexed after periods of inactivity, his fingers are prone to dislocation, his skin tends to be sliced very easily, and the torn rotator cuff is still healing, but the underlying bone structure seems to be made of rubber. On slamming into the back of a car from a normal cruising speed while cycling, this troper has felt his ribs bend before popping back into shape. Sockets quote:This anonymous troper has the same problems, with the addition that even the force of walking around can pull his shoulders and knees several centimeters to INCHES out of the sockets. The worst part isn't the constant threat of severe injury, or the constant painful yet minor injuries, it's the inability to find knee-pads that fit due to the funky leg shape. Calcium quote:This used to happen to me during elementary school, so much that I could have 5 or 6 severe bone or muscle injuries each year. One of the most egregious examples is my breaking a finger because a classmate ran past me and bent it slightly when passing by. It turns out I need to take supplementary calcium pills. Scar quote:This troper remembers another story-a friend of said troper stepped back to avoid a swing, and tripped over her own feet. She fell over an ankle high 'wall' and fell on her bum. She broke her arm so severely that she could touch the shoulder of the same arm...from behind. When she, in shock, tried to bend the arm back the right way, it bust through the skin. Almost ten years after the fall, during which she didnt bump her head, the girl developed Grand Mal epilepsy, and scans showed a 'scar' on her brain, almost definitely caused by that same fall. Head quote:This troper recently heard a story that embodies this trope; a young man kissed his GF goodbye, put his helmet on and rode off on his motorbike. While still in sight of the GF (so not travelling that fast) he skidded out and came off the bike. He smashed, head first, into a lamp post, causing his helmet to pop off...containing his head...A subsequent investigation showed, ironically enough, that had the lad not been wearing a helmet, he'd have shattered his jaw and most of his face but would likely have lived. It was the 'lip' effect of the extra inch or so of helmet on the lamp post, that caused his head to be ripped from his shoulders. DISCLAIMER; THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO WITHOUT HELMETS. THIS WAS A ONE OFF FREAK ACCIDENT AND HE COULD STILL HAVE DIED WITHOUT HIS HELMET. HELMETS SAVE LIVES. Still, turns out we're more fragile than we realise.

I like how this person is clearly trying to make you think they went out of their way to help someone in need like it was a huge deal for them to help out, nah I got an extra apartment I use to go gently caress my mistress and I guess I leave my cat there too for some weird reason, all she watches on TV is Latin soap operas. Anyway, you can only stay one night, the cat might get a little weird about it any longer than that. I also love how they didn't specify a race for the poor woman but since they went out of their way to tell us all the employee was an evil white I guess I can only figure that the poor lady was probably black.

It must be a solved problem, I've just been curious about how it was solved.

The fact that he emphatically lets them stay one night is such a weird detail. Is he trying to balance out his alabaster saint story with making sure he doesn't look like a sucker who gets taken advantage of? Maybe it's intentionally fake.

sweeperbravo posted:that's what my firend who is indian told me when we were like 10 This indirectly reminds me of a childhood stdh.txt. Growing up I was best friends with this Indian guy, and we had a kind of competitive relationship (in terms of academics, extra-curriculars, etc). I remember one time, after he came back from taking a trip to see his mom's side of the family in India (his dad's family actually lives in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which apparently has a large Indian community), he told me that in India the streets are paved with gold. Troper posted:This troper's feet are rotated about 45 degrees out, while her knees are rotated about 45 degrees in (Body Horror, anyone?), which has predisposed her for knee injuries.

To this day, the doctor still has no idea what the hell she did to herself. Both of her knees pop and snap with no warning, and the joints will start getting loose and snapping around if she's been standing for too long. Sounds like that troper might have a valgus deformity of the hip or knee. I have that condition and it turned out the popping was due to the cartilage being all hosed up, so I had surgery on both knees that involved scraping away the existing cartilage in order to stimulate the growth of new cartilage. The surgery worked pretty well. It is kind of fun casually weirding people out with how far I can turn my feet around. I can turn one around so far that points the opposite direction while parallel to my other foot (and can even got a bit further than that). Ytlaya has a new favorite as of 20:09 on Feb 24, 2017 |
