Cowslips Warren posted:This. Around my neighborhood there's a lot of dumb poo poo that the city would flip about; one dude runs a repair shop out of his garage, another dude parks his work van on the street all the time, a couple houses have empty pools that need to be dirt filled in but haven't yet. And no one says poo poo about it because no one wants the city to come down and crack everyone. I moved into a neighborhood with a similar "permit optional" mindset. It was funny how the first few conversations with our new neighbors would quickly pivot into them trying to feel us out for if we would be "a problem". Seeing as "no HOA" and "if my neighbor's activity is not causing me real harm it's not a problem" were big reasons we moved here in the first place, we get along fine.

My first conversation with my neighbor as we were moving in eventually got to her saying "well I like to throw parties and smoke weed, you guys can do whatever you want and I won't call the cops on you if you don't call them on me". Fair enough.

Crocobile posted:The trick is to buy a sock puppet and stuff the necklace or bracelet inside of it. Perfect prank. Haven't we had a couple of stories like that, where someone gets upset (possibly to the point of wanting to break up) over a lame gift and later discovers that the real gift is hidden inside? Maybe I'm thinking of the guy who gave people boxes full of barbed wire and broken glass and claimed there were gift cards inside.

Maybe I'm thinking of the guy who gave people boxes full of barbed wire and broken glass and claimed there were gift cards inside. I don't recall any specifically, but that's an old joke/chain email from your grandma circa 1993 and has appeared in at least one of those "chicken soup for the [whatever]" soul stdh.txt collections. Usually the sainted boomer protagonist gives their evil ungrateful child a bible for a graduation present/wedding gift/etc and is cursed out for giving a cheap, bad gift and it's left behind or discarded and then they reveal "There was a check for a lot of money inside, now you don't get it  " is this template of story what you are thinking of?

Maybe I'm thinking of the guy who gave people boxes full of barbed wire and broken glass and claimed there were gift cards inside. It’s a bad prank if the outside gift is outright lovely. But in this case if she actually wanted the sock puppets then putting a bonus gift inside would’ve been a good one. Unless she is potentially expecting a proposal, in which case now is not the time for hidden jewelry pranks!

You know, given how many of these posts we've had where OP claims to have slipped on a banana peel and accidentally looking at the OF of their daughter/coworker/niece/babysitter/etc, I think the daughter has come to the very understandable belief that OP is not being truthful about stumbling across his daughter's profiles on... three separate sites by mistake. If we believe that a dog really did eat OP's homework, then I agree he's behaving reasonably, but come on.

Maybe I'm thinking of the guy who gave people boxes full of barbed wire and broken glass and claimed there were gift cards inside. I did this for the first birthday present I got my then-girlfriend. I hand sewed a fidget apron (she's not got dementia, but does fidget a lot), and I also bought a reasonably large teddy bear (very much not her sort of thing). I shaved off a line of the bear's fur on its side and made an incision, before removing half the stuffing. I rolled up the apron and stuffed it inside the bear, before making my best attempt at surgical style stitches to close it up. When her birthday came I gave her the bear and waited for the present face and her attempt to hide her disappointment before mentioning that it came with a note. The note was something along the lines of the moral quandaries in the SAW films, implying she had to tear open the bear and kill it to get her real present. It was well received. I referred to her as then-girlfriend because she's now-fianceé and we're getting married on our tenth anniversary later this year.

AITA for calling a coworker a princess and calling her out that she only got her job because of her husband?quote:There's this girl that recently joined our team and to say she acts like a princess is an understatement and it's so annoying. Like she'll cover her mouth when she eats even when she's alone at her desk. She holds everything so daintily, sits like a mannequin, and talks like a mouse. And she stands so strangely like her feet are crisscrossed, pointing in different directions.

Maybe I'm thinking of the guy who gave people boxes full of barbed wire and broken glass and claimed there were gift cards inside. I can’t find that one quickly but that was awful. OP had rheumatoid arthritis or similar disability and was the only one who got a boobytrapped gift (uncle had a long history of injuring people with his punishment-box presents). She threw it out without opening it and everyone flipped out on her. There’s the classic parent Christmas prank of buying the hot-ticket item du jour and putting it in the box of a lovely item. The monstrous parents do the opposite and put a lovely gift in an exciting box, and then laugh/scream at the child’s heartbreak. I feel like there’ve been posts on the later.

I'm 6'3" so obviously tall but honestly I never even notice other dudes heights or if they're a lot taller or shorter than me. I guess you could say that I'm privileged in that way but I don't think it enters the mind of other people as much as short dudes think it does.

If you're actually 5'11" and not internet 5'11" then you're taller than average so that's probably why you're not insecure about being short. I'm 6'1" and taller than probably >90% of the men I encounter so the internet cutoff for normal being 6' seems pretty bizarre whenever I see it.

sephiRoth IRA posted:I dunno, I've met guys that were close to 5'10 have hangups about it Yeah, it's a sliding scale. The really incelbrained types are fixated on 6' and occasionally someone like an inch shy of 6' will fixate on that as the reason they are an undatable virgin. But that's pretty rare, you mostly see it in guys that are below average height. It does kind of seem like it's concentrated in the "below average" range, too. Really short guys seem to have an easier time making their peace with it compared to those that are just a couple inches short.
