I have to wonder, how do you "kind of" fake a seizure? I feel like if you choose to fake a seizure for any situation less dire than "I'm being kidnapped at gunpoint and want to get passerby's attention" you really need to commit. Because if I ever caught someone faking a seizure to get out of a slightly uncomfortable social situation(especially one they were responsible for making uncomfortable), I'm pretty sure I would think that person is human trash. You gotta really sell it and be willing to deal with possible ER trip costs.

Come now, OP, I'm sure your sons can have very fulfilling careers as playable characters in the new "Killer Instinct" game, off-brand energy drinks, or as monster trucks. The possibilities are endless.

I worked with a guy that was lactose intolerant and didn't give a single gently caress. Thank god I didn't work near him in the machine shop. He would eat a cheesy omelette every morning and just stink the gently caress out of his work area. He thought making GBS threads himself was loving hilarious and would regularly tell us about all the times he poo poo himself when he couldn't get to a toilet in time.

He thought that consuming lactose, knowing they he was lactose intolerant, and making GBS threads himself because of it was loving hilarious.

It was 100% preventable. He would rather poo poo his pants rather than stop eating dairy. This went on for the 6'ish years I worked there. It wasn't a one time thing.

I think reddit's having some tech issues, their pages are full of identical repeated questions
But lol at submitting this one during their time of trouble:

quote:

So I (23f) got married to my husband (28m) May 14th. A few months ago he lost his job due to merging and hasn’t gotten a job since so I pay all the bills. It doesn’t really bother me, as we live in a house I own that I inherited from my grandmother.

A little backstory: I like eating in my bathtub. I had a rough childhood and the only good memories I have are in the safety of my tub so every now and then I will take a bath and have a drink and a snack, it’s very comforting. I know it’s strange but trauma does weird poo poo to you. I never leave any trash or waste or anything in the bathroom and he doesnt remember I do it unless he walks in on me.

I had a particularly rough day at work last night so when I got home I poured myself a glass of wine, grabbed a snack and went to take a nice relaxing bath when my husband comes in and takes my wine and snacks and tells me I can’t eat in the bathroom anymore and “Now that we’re married, you’re going to have to change this nasty habit of yours.”

I laughed at him thinking he was joking but when he started walking out I told him he can’t dictate what I do and to give me my stuff back because I want to relax.

He said “I won’t allow this nasty habit in my home.” This is where I may be the rear end in a top hat because I looked at him and said “Your house? Let’s make a deal, you can dictate where I eat when you pay all the bills.” Grabbed my wine glass from him and walked away.

Now he’s giving me the cold shoulder and hasn’t said a word to me since last night.

AITA?

More context: he hasn’t been looking for a job. He is trying to become a twitch streamer so he does that all day.

LOL dude reinvented primal scream therapy, this time with video games. He is aware that it’s not something that should be inflicted on others and he isn’t directing his anger at anyone else. This is literally something that people do in therapy. It’s fine.

BOOTY-ADE posted:

I'll never understand people that intentionally put themselves through that kind of torture. Like, from all I've heard, lactose intolerance is super uncomfortable & can be hard on your system, this dude must be a butthole masochist or something.

Didn't they make tons and tons of merch for Isabela because she's the most classical Disney princess-like character in the movie, and they didn't realize Luisa would be so popular?

And what does "uncomfortably recent" mean?
[/q uote]

They did. And most of it is of Isabela before she reforms and makes up with Mirabel, too (which is another reason why the Isabela merch isn't as popular; the little girls who love princesses know a bully when they see one).

Guess I shouldn't be so surprised Isabella is popular, she is quite literally the golden child.

You'd have a hard time finding a contemporary therapist who would agree with you on this point

Catharsis reinforces and increases the emotions that drive people to it. It's bad, if you want to manage your emotions you have to actually, you know, manage them. In therapy, I'd say, if you're at the point of screaming at video games

therobit posted:

This view of catharsis is far from universally accepted, and dude is literally intentionally doing this as a release. Per the OP, he does not have trouble managing his emotions in everyday life. He’s not hurting anyone and feels he derives some benefit from it, so what’s the problem?

When people are abused by their family to the point of being concerned about the type of Disney party their having and how their family will take it, I'm sure that faking as seizure is a coping mechanism they developed as a young teenager.

Anyone got a link to this one? I can't find it anywhere.

I (17m) live with my mom (40f), and younger sister (6f). I don't wear deodorant or cologne because I don't like the way any of them smell. And generally, I smell pretty good. I shower thoroughly every other day.

Now, my little sister is very sensitive to smells. She can't even smell fish without gagging and crying, which I feel is slightly dramatic.

My mom told me two days ago that my sister has been complaining about how I smell. And when she confronted me, I said, "Little sister can deal with it, I smell just fine." Since then, my mom has been nagging me to go to the store and buy some scent less deodorant or something. Even my dad has begun to agree.

Basically, this has been an issue for the past two days. My family thinks I'm in the wrong, but my friends say I should continue sticking up for myself. I only think I might be the rear end in a top hat, because my sister IS very sensitive, and I love her. I think my family is, for their nagging. I can make my own decisions. So, Reddit, AITA?

Not really? OP tells on herself for being a hoarder and clumsily engages in DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) by calling her 17 year old daughter who depends on her for resources and holds no power over her "controlling." The house is definitely full of animal poo poo (but it's ok because OP can see the floor) which Abigail is the only one to clean, and literal garbage since OP has a habit of literally hoarding used napkins.

My coworker invited me to his NBA finals viewing party few days ago. He kept hyping up his wife's world famous bean dip. The thing is that I don't trust people washing their hands. The thought of people's unwashed hands touching the dip, even if it's just a half second scrape, makes me sick to my stomach. Germ from their private parts could be on the dip. You never know.



At parties, I bring my own bowl so I can put food in, especially dips before anyone gets their grubby hands on it. Nobody really cared. It's a small bowl, around 5 ounces.



So I went towards the bean dip with my bowl and started spooning the dip onto my bowl. My coworker saw me was like, "yoooo what the gently caress are you doing?". I explained the whole thing how I people sometimes don't wash their hands and their germs get on their food. He got very offended as if I am blaming him for not washing his hands. I told him I trust you, it's the other people. He got even madder saying everyone here washes their hands. But I don't know them as much as he does. After a few minutes he let it go and I was able to enjoy my bean dip.



I thought everything was cool. But today in the office, I find out he was poo poo talking me through other coworker. Apparently he was still made. But I think what I did was reasonable.

Quick one here. Taco Bell charges $1.99 for chips and nacho cheese, however I discovered that a side of chips is $.85 and a side of nacho cheese is $.50, totaling $1.35. Sweet! So I started ordering them that way. After a few times of using my hack, the manager comes to the window and rather irritatedly informs me they will no longer be ringing it up for me that way. I ask why not, and she said I’m cheating the system and messing up her inventory. I said it can’t be dinging the inventory because both items are being keyed in the computer system. I’m not cheating, I discovered a hack and it’s on Taco Bell for overlooking it. She reiterated that they weren’t going to do it anymore, and I said ok but that’s really lame. I think that’s bs, but AITA?
