This is fun - in school my friends and I had a running game where we'd try to get strangers to power-walk the longest distance by holding a door open. By the end we had 100+ feet down a long university center corridor.

Sometimes car drivers will try to be super helpful to motorcyclists at a junction, by stopping in the road to let the bike pull out.

It sucks as people behind the car might get pissed off at this idiot car just sitting there and overtake it.

That's my inappropriate politeness story. Thanks.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
I know someone who was turning left at a green light and the person across from them in the middle lane was going straight decided to be "nice" and wave them through. Then a car in the far right lane that hadn't been waiting at the light slammed into them.

In short, don't think you're being nice by not following normal driving protocol. I see assholes sitting at green lights for like 5 seconds waiting for me to turn left. No rear end in a top hat, I'm going to wait until I'm supposed to go!

I had this happen once. I was in the right lane and someone in the left lane stopped to let someone turning left onto our road in. Person turning left cut through the left lane and into my lane where I almost rear-ended them because I was still going 35 (couldn't see the turner because of the stack of cars behind the "good" Samaritan).

Then they got pissed at me for honking.

I dunno, while the guy sounds like a doormat he's at least erring on the side of consideration for others, just taking it way too far in the extreme to the detriment of his partner.

Usually guys need to be taught to be more considerate of other people, not less. Young men get universal advice like 'hold doors open for people' 'don't cut in front of others' 'show consideration to waitstaff'yet they usually aren't doing enough of these things, not too much.

Usually when I hold doors open for strangers I can give a non verbal gesture for an able bodied person to take over the task. Maybe he forgot this part.

Doormats aren't doormats because they just love so tender much, it's because they've learned that if they do everything "right" they are never at fault and can never be blamed. It's a state of eternal martyrdom and puts you in a place where you can't be critiqued.

he's not being considerate, he's yanking the one person with clearly stated preferences out of her chair and ditching her for the completely imaginary needs of random passers-by. he doesn't give a poo poo about his effect on any actual person, he's just been programmed with a few 'politeness' subroutines and when other people don't follow his set script he has a bluescreen

It was just a prank zygote bro.

Gotta agree with him, sounds fishy from his wife, like maybe she changed her mind and was hoping he'd be all excited. He even admitted he didn't say anything bad, just told her it was a disaster that would set them back (and it would considering both said they didn't want kids) and she refuses to move on or apologize. Pregnancy pranks are loving stupid and she deserved the reaction she got, I've seen/heard waaayyyy worse reactions from guys when even a girlfriend/fiance jokes about not taking their contraceptives before they're ready to have kids.

Yeah, it's extremely lovely. Depending on how long the relationship was I would probably break it off personally.

We live in a culture where Wal Mart greeters get trampled to death so that someone can get a flat-screen television for 10% off. Better he take this passive extreme than the opposite,like the guy that panicked and ditched his baby because he got scared.

Just found out my boyfriend [24M] (of 3 years) has been wanking to a photo of my[23F] twin sister...

quote:

submitted 1 year ago by disturbed_gemini

(I've just forwarded this over from /r/sex where I originally posted it, as I feel it is more appropriate here!)

'Hi reddit, first ever post so sorry if any formatting is wrong etc.

The photo is of her waist, breasts and half of her face.

We're not identical.

First off, I do have a very happy and fulfilling relationship with my boyfriend - BUT today I went on his laptop and first thing I see is a (very delusively named) folder left open which contained, amongst standard files, a few porn gifs and a naked photo of my twin sister.. I'm feeling pretty disturbed by this.

He was home alone last night - I was staying at said sisters - so this is obviously his wank material.

We're very open with each other about masturbating and occasionally discuss things we've watched or new techniques we've tried etc, and I'm completely fine with him doing his own thang when I'm not there, but I feel like this has crossed some sort of line. There have been a few issues in the past where I've accused him of flirting with her, and more recently he's developed this weird attitude towards her where her kind of hates her and has a good ol' bitch about everything she does - perhaps some sort of resentment? Wants what he can't have?

The main reason I'm struggling to get to grips with this is that it's an old photo she sent me on a phone I don't own anymore (since like a year ago).. I remember flashing it at my boyfriend at the time in a kind of teasing way like 'ooooh look what I just received', and he must have taken my phone and sent it to himself at some point - how the hell did he get it? When did he get it? Who knows. (Context for the photo in question btw - my sister and I are pretty open with each other, and she was exhibiting some new, pretty extreme love bites) So he's had the pic for ages, basically.

Another thing bothering me about it all is that I have some minor psychological boobie issues, in that I have very very tiny, almost non-existent ones and desperately crave larger ones, which leads to me feeling a little depressed about my body occasionally.. (he knows all about this and assures me often that he's all about that booty, and he loves my tiny titties) BUT my twin has nice big breasts that my boyfriend obviously wants to look at whilst he's pleasuring himself. It makes me feel...eurgh.

So anyway, sorry for blathering, /r/relationships - I just need help dealing with this?'

tl;dr: Boyfriend has been wanking to a pic of my twin sister - feel sick about it, don't know how to deal with the situation?

Someone would have had to have been hit by the door for him to see the concert, there was no other way, and Cindy is just a heartless monster that is willing to do that to see a free concert. A monster that doesn't care bout giving up their seat on the bus.

The fake pregnancy thing is loving terrible, that seems like "I don't have enough drama in my life, time to make some." Or rather I'm sure there was something important she wanted to ask this dude about the pregnancy, what a weird way to do it.
