Hey, I don't post much but I've been using this thread rather heavily for my poo poo that didn't happen series on youtube so I figured it might be relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHspas8i_gQ

Personally I would have liked it to go the other way, where the kid convinces her mother to take one and it's mint flavoured LSD/ecstasy/PCP pills. Could have ended up with the best STDH story ever. Like the famous facebook "hacking" story.

So after the arguments with the teacher, the falling grades, the massive stink the poster's mom made about them failing 3rd grade and the unreadable papers, the poster just happens to mention, on questioning, 'Oh yeah, they handcuff our left hands to the desk, I hadn't thought to mention that to you'.

What? It’s first brought up in the first paragraph. For stdh that’s actually pretty well written.

I actually did get bullied by my kindergarten and first grade teacher (she was the same woman) into writing right-handed, but it wasn't anything as dramatic as handcuffing or beating us. She just told us we were wrong and put the pencil or crayon in our other hand when showing us the proper way to hold it. It doesn't take a whole lot to make a 6-year-old do that when they're still learning how to write in general. It also stuck because now I'm right-handed.

It was fairly common in some British schools to smack or push the left hand away, to encourage "proper" penmanship, but that one-up war of bullshit pushes it too far.

My grandfather's generation was definitely ruler-slapped and otherwise bullied into right-handedness by teachers, but also that was three generations ago.

I was born in the 70s and there was little drama about it. When it became apparent that I was writing left-handed, my grandmother asked my dad if he was going to get me to switch and he was like "lol no" and that was the end of that.

I'm really glad it's not really a thing anymore, my oldest is a born righty with a half-useless left hand like me, but my younger two are happily ambidextrous and half the time my 5-year-old switches hands in the middle of drawing or writing because certain letters are easier to write with his left hand, I guess. I'm sure it'll even out and he'll end up favoring one or the other but at least we don't have to deal with them being pushed into being right-handed.

Encourage him to dual-wield pens to write sentences with both hands alternating. Then sell him to a freak show.

Yeah that left-hand thing is STDH for sure, but I got yelled at in school for not being able to use a knife and fork or do up a tie 'properly'. I have to hold the fork in my right hand. I'm right handed when I write, but I eat and tie knots left handed. My dad is the exact opposite; he's left handed but eats and ties knots right handed. His dad was the same as me. Freaky I guess. I also play guitar right handed. I dunno what the gently caress. Anyway, just had this classic STDH pop up on facebook, now with extra bullshit, way more randomly placed and improperly used/typed ellipses, an out-of-nowhere complaint about tattoos and piercings and an ascii shrug at the end: quote:Yesterday after shopping in our local supermarket, I was in the queue at the Check Out, and heard when the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment.

We used horrifically polluting sources of energy that powered our horribly inefficient electronics and vehicles, and we all died of preventable illnesses but damnit I'm not going to pay five pence for a shopping bag that I can reuse basically forever, it's my right to have paper bags that disintegrate if it's raining outside. loving Beaker folk, coming over here with their drinking vessels. What's wrong with cupping water in your hands and lapping it up like a cat?!

I'm thinking that either: A) They were so enraptured by their ellipsis frenzy that they never noticed that they went from pressing the period key to pressing the comma key B) The text was originally much, MUCH longer and the commas were left over from deleting large swathes of text C) Facebook STDH'ers, like tropers, have their own secret code that is opaque to outsiders

Seventh Arrow posted:I'm thinking that either: I think all the ellipses beyond the first couple (at most), including the random commas, are where poo poo was added to the STDH - notice how they don't even appear until half way through (indicating a change in style, because people that use ellipses in STDH are almost universally terrible at writing) and they get WAY more erratic and incorrect in the last few lines. I've definitely seen this story before without the last few paragraphs, too.

Comptroll The Forums posted:I appreciate the sentiment that baby boomers were only responsible for how the world operated before they reached adulthood. I think my favourite part is that even if you assume that all the nonsense that the imaginary old lady rants about was environmentally friendly (it isn't, but let's pretend) that it somehow justifies being lovely about the environment now. First time I saw that STDH was when the UK government introduced a 5p (~7-8 cents) charge to have a plastic carrier bag when shopping at large retail chains. The charge goes directly to environmental charities. This had already been introduced in Wales a couple of years before to great success; people were reusing bags and plastic bag usage went down 90% in the first few weeks. In England, the media went loving MENTAL about the idea of reusing bags or paying a tiny charge to get a new one. It's still been a huge success, despite people whining about it like two years later, and it's seen more than 80% fewer carrier bags used in England. Now, of course, the government is saying that it should be extended to all retailers and people are going mental about it again because, like in the STDH I posted, "I believe I was environmentally friendly in the past, and even though I wasn't I still have the right to be poo poo about it now!"

I'm right handed but a lot of very fine things like watch and necklace clasps I can only manage with my left hand (especially so now that my tremor is getting worse). So I have always worn a watch on the "wrong" wrist. I know plenty of people who play cricket and are right handed but bat left handed and so on.

For some strange reason I’ve always opened combination locks with my left hand. No idea why. Edit: I also used to switch hit () playing baseball growing up, which was weird because no one ever taught me to hit lefty.

I have a colleague who was forcibly corrected to write with his right hand back in grade school in the 70’s, and as a result, holds his pen in an unusual grip. What's weirder, though, is he uses his left hand on his computer mouse! I'm a lefty but this throws me for a complete loop every time. His mouse buttons are also swapped.

In Boulder, all grocery stores (or any store where food makes up more than 2% of all sales) have to charge five cents for plastic bags, as a city ordinance. People get really amazingly loving mad about a drugstore having the AUDACITY to charge FIVE WHOLE CENTS for a plastic bag. I can't even count the number of times that I started my sentence "Would you like a bag..." and the customer says 'yes,' but I as continue "....for five cents," suddenly it's all "WHAT, NO, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CHARGE FOR BAGS NOW!"
