I feel like the reason that lots of people mispronounce words or make the same mistake without knowing it their whole lives is because dicks just don't correct them on anything. Are 90 percent of people too lazy to say "you're using this word wrong"? It's better to let somebody feel embarrassed for a minute than unknowingly look like a dumbass their whole life. I guess either that or everybody in their life just so happened to not know that word. Come on guys, correct people when necessary, even if it embarrasses them. It makes for a smarter more informed person in the future and there is more good than bad in the long run when doing that.

I get loving your dog and thinking your dog will adjust to your lifestyle but PLEASE stop buying dogs that don’t fit your lifestyle and then getting mad they do what they’re bred to do

Stop buying hunting dogs and getting mad they hunt

Stop buying herding dogs and get mad they try to herd

Stop getting racing dogs and get mad they have energy

Stop buying search and rescue breeds and getting mad they need something to do and search for or they become bored

Stop buying guard dogs and getting mad they try to guard

Stop buying lounge dogs and getting mad they won’t be active with you

And for the love of god stop fucking buying big breeds and locking them 24/7 in apartments without getting walked then getting mad they destroy your home

And stop buying any breed and not socializing them to people and other animals properly then getting mad when you do take them out on walks they tug the leash and bark at anything that moves

"I'm going non verbal" when they actually mean they're just going to stay quiet.

"I'm so overstimulated" when in reality they're just overwhelmed.

"This is my hyperfixation" and they're just tryna say that they like something.

There's other examples but I'm way too lazy to add more.

This one is 100% on me. I swear, I do not know why this is, but even though I proof-read, I tend to often spot typos only after I already sent the message and I'm just ??? Why are you doing this to me, brain.

For fuck's sake, it's gonna hurt like hell while you do it cause your palms are one of the most sensitive parts of your body, it's gonna hurt like hell afterwards and take a while to heal cause your palm bends all the time, and it's gonna make your hand useless for quite some time which is unsurprisingly a very fucking bad thing. There are so many better places to cut, if you need a lot of blood cut the underside of your forearm, it's literally right there, has exposed veins, doesn't bend, and you can just wrap it in bandages afterwards and let it heal. If I needed my blood for something the last fucking place I'd consider cutting would be the palm of my hand.

Maybe this has already been posted, but this is bothering me so much. How does one show up every single day at LEAST 10 minutes late? I understand if it's happened like 2-3 times and you have an actual excuse for it (for example, not feeling well or public transportation being late), or if it's no more than 5 minutes, but it's genuinely on you if you can't help but show up late EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It screams a lack of irresponsibility and disrespect of other people's time. And people treat it like a silly personality quirk, I'm sorry, we are not in high school anymore. It's not funny, you are an adult. You can't just storm in giggling anytime you want. Set your alarm clock on an earlier time or something, but gosh..

For convenience, I'm going to share my personal experience with my own concerns being minimized by Redditors.

A while ago I made a rant that even though I'm now sober, it doesn't mean I'm willing to be an automatic DD. This post was a rant directed at some friends of mine who like to close the bars down on the weekends, and then they try calling me at the witching hour to asking me to give them a ride home.

In summary, the comments I got were people saying "That's not a big ask." and "Buh you're already up!"

Like, I'm up because I got a phone call at 3 in the freaking morning, not because I wanted to get up at that time. Had the phone call never happened, I would still be sound asleep. Also in the same post, I mentioned that they wound up at a small town bar in BFE that would've been a 45 minute drive one way. That's absolutely a big ask...

I understand DUI's are costly, but at the end of the day they made the choice to bar crawl, not me. They dug themselves into the hole, they can use their own shovels to dig themselves out. Why not just get shitfaced drunk at home, where your bed is close by?

Some of us have jobs on the weekends, and every hour counts when it comes to sleep.

I know I'm going to get all sorts of replies telling me to silence my phone, but the thing is my half asleep brain doesn't register a 3AM phone call out of the blue as someone being too drunk to drive, My brain instantly jumps to the conclusion it's a true emergency for the phone call.

If it was a true emergency, that's a different story, I'll suck it up being tired at work to come to the rescue there.

“In her last moments, she thought of her family…” how would we POSSIBLY know that. Did she tell you that? Maybe that’s what she was thinking about, but unless that’s documented, don’t put it in the damn documentary for extra drama.

Second post here today but I’m in a terrible mood today😭

I’m a retail worker, and there is nothing I hate more than customers who expect retail workers to possess some kind of omnipotent power and knowledge of the store and what we have.

First of all, the back that you always ask us to check? It isn’t a mirrored version of the shop floor. It’s a maze of rollers, pallets, and boxes that need sorted through. With the exception of things being separated by alcohol, clothes, and fresh produce or whatever, there is never a specific order or way the delivery is left. It’s just random. So no, even if we do have your ultra specific item in the back, I guarantee you I will not be able to find it by just ‘quickly checking the back’.

Second, not every employee has the same training. I’m a worker at our small sushi counter! I am a food assistance staff, so I do not get till training, and I’m rarely on the shop floor doing stock, so I don’t know where things are as well as other employees would. Yet every single day, when I go to self checkouts to scan what I have picked for lunch, some customer is always having till trouble and asks me for help. I politely explain that I don’t have till training, but I will get someone for them, and so many of them question this? They’re like ‘Why? Is it that hard? Just help me. It won’t take long!’. Like, it will take a while actually, considering I don’t have training nor an ID number to access the settings of the till to resolve the issue.

Or, a customer will see me in my apron, sushi counter uniform (which is different), and my hat, and ask me where some really random item is. And sometimes I know, like with general items like eggs, but sometimes they ask for a specific flavour and brand of an item and I’m clueless. So again, I say ‘Sorry, I’m not a shop floor worker so I’m not too sure! But I can definitely go find someone who will know if you can give me a sec!’ and on multiple occasions I have been asked ‘Don’t you work here? Isn’t it your job to help me?’. Like yeah. It’s my job to help if you want fucking sushi.

Overall, PLEASE understand that not all retail workers get the same training. The shop floor layout can change depending on new items or a store refit. Our stock checking app doesn’t always work. Give us some grace. We literally just work here, we don’t know every little detail about the store.

It just gets to a point... always making dirty jokes and yapping about how attractive someone is gets very annoying. Please find better things to do.

Arghhhh I hate this type of questions on Reddit.

im a native new yorker and when I'm in manhattan I've recently started embracing the "I'm walkin here" energy. this is not your episode of sex and the city where you walk the sidewalk in a chorus line. im on my way to work and I will make room if your group is hogging the concrete. or if your backpack is about to push me onto the subway tracks I will literally move it as I'm passing by. these people are clueless of the space they take up. like I get that bug-eyed tourists are having their moment, but this isn't disney world. get out the wayyy

Excuse me Ma'am, those are my organs you're digging into. And it hurts because all of her weight is focused on her four tiny paws. She isn't fat, but she still has normal cat weight. And then she gets offended if I dare to stop her from crushing my internal organs... Also honorable mention to when she is kneading by digging her claws into my skin. Cat affection HURTS.

Tonight I saw a bunch of BTS fans online pretending shooting off fireworks at the end of a show is some never before done genius idea and idk...it just started to annoy me the more I thought about it

• included stuff like "it's so thoughtful of BTS to do fireworks at the end so fans don't leave sad"

ALSO, and the one that got me to write this post, "so smart they shot the fireworks so we had to turn away from the screens so we wouldn't have to be sad watching the boys leave the stage". I'm sorry, whaaaaat. Stop it. I mean Jesus, do yall go "omg so thoughtful letting us have a bit more oxygen by holding their breath at one point during a song! So kind ahhhh"

super minor. the world will keep turning. but Jesus Christ, kpop fans, understand that when your favorite group does something super common like use big screens ("they think of everything. it's so the fans in the back can see!") or shoot off fireworks to close a show, that's special but it is NOT original.

You can love whatever artists you want but there are so many unhealthy parasocial relationships kpop fans have with "idols". many of those fans also work as unpaid record label promotions employees literally going down spreadsheets and spamming radio stations requests (using inappropriate categories in the contact us form like pretending it is a community event or ad purchase request).

tldr kpop fans think tons of things their favorite group/gods do have never been done before and it peeves me

Edit: I had more to rant about. Sorry (lying, I am not sorry)

If you’re a parent who does that, listen up. I don’t care if you just want some quiet time from your kid. If your idea of quiet time involves letting your kid run around in a restaurant undisciplined and touching and taking things that aren’t theirs, you need to go back and learn what quiet time is. Because this isn’t it.

Then, these same parents throw a fit if anyone scolds or spanks their bratty kids and lectures these parents for doing a horrible job. Raise your kids, then. Nobody would have to do anything if you tried teaching your children to behave in a place where people are trying to eat and relax. Enough with the excuses! That’s all these kinds of parents ever give is excuses.

I'm very attentive and engaged when she talks about her pregnancy. but whenever I bring up something in my life now, she gives one word answers and quickly changes the subject to the baby/ pregnancy. It's infuriating and makes me not want to hang out with her as much.

The inevitable person on every photo on the Internet that screams, “It’s AI!” or “It’s Photoshopped!” Yes, some are, but a lot are just photos. What motivates these people? I dont get it.

before anyone calls me an unc for this I'm 16.
having your whole ass out in public isn't cool or trim. I understand sometimes a slight sag happens with large or baggy pants and is unintentional but some people have their pants halfway down their legs. Pull your pants up please 😭

When I'm driving down the road and there are no cars behind me, but someone breaks their neck cutting in front of me from a side street or parking lot. Really? Why can't they just wait a few seconds for me to pass?

Hope I explained that well enough!
