What Irritates You That You’re Also Guilty Of Doing? People Spoke Up.

We all do it…

We get really annoyed by things and then we turn around and do them ourselves.

I guess we could call ourselves hypocrites…but I don’t want to insult anyone…or myself.

What irritates you…that you’re also guilty of doing?

AskReddit users spoke up about this.

1. This is my road!

“Being on this particular road going in this particular direction at this particular time of day.

Why is there traffic right NOW, d*mmit!”

2. Just take it easy…

“Eating.

Any, and all eating sounds make me want to commit a war crime.

But I’m almost 100% sure that I make the exact same noises when I’m eating.”

3. Goes both ways.

“Cyclists when I’m driving.

Drivers when I’m cycling.”

4. Overdoing it.

“Being overly self deprecating.

When other people do it it’s untrue and they need to stop but when I do it its warranted and I’m just being honest.

It’s a bad mindset.”

5. Here come the complaints.

“Complaining about things.

I usually end up catching myself and trying to frame my complaints in a more positive light and that helps, but I am still way guilty of it.”

6. Inner dialogue.

“Talking to myself.

I do it so much I forget that I do it.

I get worried that people see my do it and I really want to stop but it’s the only way I can get my thoughts out.”

7. Pointless.

“Chasing someone who is not into you.

I’m doing right now and hate it so much.

Can’t let go.”

8. Just change the subject.

“Denying I made a mistake even though I know I did.

I catch myself most of the time, but every once in a while I wont give in no matter what and will just change the subject.”

9. Nerd alert!

“Being an annoying SciFi fan.

I really, truly, try and keep all my TV shows/movie theories in my head, or at least relevant to a topic or convo, but I just love my nerd s**t.”

10. Not gonna make it tonight…

“Canceling plans last minute. Got that social anxiety.

I know other people have it too, but it still hurts and I know it hurts other people.”

11. Working on it.

“Not fully listening to someone. I can’t wait to have my opinion or story heard. I’m trying hard to minimize this.

I understand it’s a human trait but I’m working hard on allowing people to finish so that I actually listen instead of just hearing them.”

12. Stand down.

“Not standing up for what you believe in because of fear of confrontation.

There were so many times I brushed off homophobic comments as a bis**ual girl that I shouldn’t have but I was just avoiding arguments.

It irritates me so much.”

Okay, it’s confession time…

What drives you nuts that you do, too.

Talk to us in the comments and spill your guts!

Do You Have a Dirty Kitchen? Cleaning Is A Snap With These Simple Hacks

For many of us, cleaning isn’t something we wake up dying to do every day (though it can certainly be cathartic under the right circumstances), but nevertheless, it’s something that has to be done.

Unless you enjoy living among filth and vermin, in which case, good luck and scoot along.

If you want to keep a nice clean kitchen and are always looking for easier and more effective ways to get that done, we’ve got 6 simple hacks you can try!

6. Remove bacteria from your microwave.

All of those spills and splatters can breed bacteria in your microwave, and most of us don’t remember to clean it out as often as possible.

It’s easy if you just nuke a few wet paper towels for about a minute, then leave them sit for another 5 minutes.

Wipe down the inside with the hot towels, then toss them – no fuss, no fumes, ready to go!

5. Make your oven shine.

When your oven is off and all the way cool, soak paper towels in vinegar and lay them across the racks, over the glass door, and bottom.

Basically, cover every surface with wet paper towels.

Leave them for an hour and then wipe the whole thing down – it should sparkle!

4. Don’t forget the light switches.

Everyone in your house touches the light switches multiple times a day, which means they’re one of the dirtiest places in the house.

But one I bet you don’t think about wiping down regularly.

Get them germ-free and squeaky clean with white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and rubbing alcohol.

Important point… DO NOT MIX them. Just spray each one one a paper towel, then use the towel to wipe your switches.

Perfect!

3. Prevent those messes in your fridge.

Containers leak, kids spill things, and husbands put away seeping leftovers – it happens to the best of us.

Get ahead of those sticky, gooey messes on your shelves by place paper towels, plastic wrap, or parchment paper on the shelves then throwing it away/replacing it when the inevitable goop appears.

2. Make sure your cutting board is safe.

Image Credit: Pexels

I think we’re all aware that cutting boards can harbor bacteria and viruses, too – especially if they’re made of wood, which can soak things like that up.

You can clean it easily with a tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water. Use it to cover your cutting board and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then, rinse it with water and pat it dry.

You can use it without worry for a few days until you’ll need to do it again!

1. Your sink needs attention, too.

Image Credit: iStock

Make it sparkle by scrubbing it with a baking soda paste – it will look like you spent all day scouring it, but in reality, it will only take a few minutes.

If you use a paper towel instead of a rag, the cleanup is a snap, too

I’m definitely going to employ some of these today!

A Woman Asked if She’s a Jerk For Not Wearing a Bra. People Weighed In.

Back in the 1960s, women burned their bras to protest the Vietnam War (among other things), but in “polite” society, the proper undergarments have always been required. Even the sitcom Seinfeld tackled the issue in an episode in the late 90s, in which a woman wearing no bra (or wearing only a bra) “caused” an accident and was sued in court.

Bras aren’t required though, right? So, does choosing not to wear one make a woman an a$shole?

That’s what this OP is wondering after an incident at home. She came to dinner with her teenage sister and parents without a bra, and her father made a comment about her needing to put one on before they could eat dinner.

I (19F) am currently living at home with my parents. This happened back in September, I am only posting now because something recently reminded me of this.

I tend to usually not wear a bra around the house, because it’s uncomfortable. During COVID times, since I don’t leave the house very much, that means that I am usually not wearing a bra.

The incident in question happened when my parents called me and my sister (17F) to eat dinner. I was not wearing a bra, as per usual, and my dad made some comment like “This is going to be a bra-wearing meal.” I thought it was a joke, kind of, so I just kind of said nothing, and obviously didn’t go to put a bra on.

When her father wouldn’t let it go, making it clear that he was not joking, her sister took her own bra off in solidarity.

But he kept hounding, saying that I needed to go put a bra on before we could eat dinner. My sister (who I guess is way braver than I am), in response to what he was saying immediately took her bra off. (She took it off while her shirt was still on so it’s not like she stripped in front of anyone or anything).

Their father confessed that it “makes him uncomfortable” when they don’t wear bras in the house and then proceeded to give them the silent treatment for the rest of the night.

The next day, things were back to normal.

Then my dad got really quiet and said that it “makes him uncomfortable” when we don’t wear bras, and he just kind of left the room. He eventually came back to eat dinner with us, but he didn’t say a word the entire time.

The rest of us were shocked, I guess? and no one really said anything for the entire meal and it kind of ruined dinner. He also wouldn’t speak to us for the rest of the night, but by the next day he was pretending like everything was back to normal.

When it happened again, though, he again reiterated his discomfort and acted angry that she wasn’t complying.

And again, recently, he made some comment about how what I was wearing (a t-shirt with no bra and shorts) made him uncomfortable, and he got mad again and wouldn’t talk to anyone.

Her mom seems to be staying out of it, and she’s wondering if she’s doing something wrong since she’s making her father uncomfortable.

My mom was there for both events and didn’t say anything, although she usually doesn’t go against my dad. But he got pretty mad, and I don’t really like making people uncomfortable.

So, AITA for not putting a bra on for my dad when it makes him uncomfortable if I don’t?

What does Reddit say? Let’s keep reading and find out!

This man made a very good point, that the rule should apply to everyone, then?

There’s an obvious elephant in the room, too.

Image Credit: Reddit

It’s really not normal – or at least, it shouldn’t be.

Image Credit: Reddit

But apparently it’s a thing (that needs to change).

Image Credit: Reddit

This is how dads are supposed to act.

Image Credit: Reddit

The bottom line is that it’s weird for parents to sexualize their kids, full stop.

And no one should get to dictate what other people wear under their clothes.

A Man Helped a Stranger in Trouble. Now a Discussion Brews About Men Being Allies in Public.

Awareness has been growing in recent years, one that highlights how the experiences of most, if not all, women intersect when it comes to not feeling safe in public at some point in their lives.

If you speak to any woman on the street, she could likely tell you about a time she pretended to be on the phone with her mom, when she faked a boyfriend to slip away from a persistent stranger, or when she walked to her car, heart in her throat and keys pointed out like weapons between her knuckles.

The men in our lives who want to help keep us safe are often at a loss as to how to do that, aside from doing their best to simply be better in their own lives, but the actions of one man has gotten attention – and sparked discussion – online and beyond.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

The guy in question is TikTok personality @thebrandonrobert, and when he spotted a woman at the mall being made uncomfortable by a man who “appeared to be intoxicated or on drugs,” he wasn’t sure exactly what he should do.

He did think she looked scared, though, and so he approached her, pretending they were friends in order to extricate her from the situation.

Image Credit: TikTok

After making eye contact with her a few times, he approached her with a familiar greeting, which she returned. Then they discussed an imaginary aunt that was also at the mall, and agreed to go and talk to her together.

She thanked him for helping her as they walked away, saying that he wouldn’t leave her alone and he was creeping her out.

Image Credit: TikTok

The comments on the video seem to point to the fact that many women would like having help like this in awkward or potentially dangerous situations.

Men who want to do something, to be better allies, should stay alert and pay attention to what’s going on around them – because there’s a good chance that it won’t be long until they catch a dude behaving badly.

@thebrandonrobert

She was so thankful ??

Don’t let them get away with it, and when and if you can, help the woman in the scenario, too.

Stand up guy, this one. Even if he did make me type “TikTok personality” at the top of this article.

If you’re a woman, sound off in the comments – is this intervention something you would appreciate? Tell us why or why not down below!

People Share the Best Examples They’ve Seen of “The Mandela Effect”

Certain things take hold on social media and capture the imagination of the public.

And even though the Mandela Effect has been around for a long time, it seems like it’s only in the past few years that it’s taken hold and reminded people of what this phenomenon is all about.

What’s the best example of the Mandela Effect that you know?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. Still kickin’!

“This is more of a personal one but for years I believed that Bob Barker was no longer hosting the Price is Right because he was dead.

I was very surprised to find out he is still alive.

I could have sworn I had memories of seeing some kind of memorial for him somewhere and my parents talking about how sad it was that he d**d.”

2. Name, please?

“My friend and I forgot a mutual friend’s name.

Independent of one another we thought it was Mark and had been referring to him as Mark for about two months.

His name was Dan.”

3. You’re not alone…

“Barenstein / Barenstain Bears.

Always thought it was EIN. In fact, I distinctly remember studying the letters as a child and learning that letter combination and that sound BECAUSE of those books.

I would reference that in my little brain whenever the sound combination would come up again to remember how to spell it.

I am not at peace with this spelling never having had existed.”

4. A false memory?

“In the Family Guy episode “Back To The Pilot”, Stewie and Brian are exploring the Family Guy world as it was during the pilot episode. When we see the blimp crash, Brian comments, “Whoa, crash-ahoy!” A callback to his earlier line, “Whoa, a**-ahoy!”

I recall hearing the “crash-ahoy” line in the pilot before this episode aired. Every time I have seen the pilot these days, it is never there. I could have sworn I heard it in the pilot a few times after “Back To The Pilot” aired, but as far as I can tell it never even existed until “Back To The Pilot”.

I have never seen it in the pilot again. I really wonder if anyone else remembers that line, or if it’s a false memory of some sort.”

5. Nope.

“I have really good autobiographical recall and I remember when Mandela d**d in the 1980s very clearly. I remember his funeral from tv. I remember things I did and people I talked to about it.

I even remember specific thoughts I had about his death around that time, so when I heard he died literally decades later I was so confused. I couldn’t remember hearing anything about him in the intervening years, so there was no reason for me to ever think I was wrong and he was alive.

This is the one that messes with my head so much.”

6. What’s the deal?

“I remember a time where everyone hated the Star Wars prequels and saw them as totally awful or at least under mediocrity.

Now everyone thinks they’re great.

I am so confused by this still.”

7. Not ringing a bell.

“The Manilow Effect:

Barry Manilow came out in 2016 but a sizable number of people remember that already happening much sooner.”

8. A different ending?

“I vividly remember that in the movie “In Bruges”.

Colin Farrel charecter gets a head shot and d**s and the movie ends. When I watched it again few months ago, the ending was totally different.

I just couldn’t understand what happened.”

9. The curly F.

“I remember that I as a kid was thinking, wow Ford got a new logo with that curly F.

I am 100% sure that the curly F was a new thing to me at that time.

Years later I find out that there is something called the Mandela Effect.”

10. Lady Liberty.

“One of the most kind blowing ones is that the Statue of Liberty was never on Ellis Island and tourists haven’t been allowed to up to the top for over 100 years.”

11. You’ve been living a lie.

“Rod Sterling vs Rod Serling.

The Twilight Zone has been my favorite tv show forever (to the point I want a tattoo for it) and I always thought his name was Rod Sterling.

Kinda made me love the show even more when I found out that my whole life was a lie.”

Okay, friends, now it’s your turn to talk.

In the comments, tell us about your experiences with the Mandela Effect.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

A Woman Asked if It’s Rude to Not Wear a Gifted Bikini Because She Doesn’t Shave Down There

If you’re an adult, I think those habits should be your business and no one else’s – not even a romantic partner’s, if we’re being completely honest.

When it comes to health and comfort, I am a crusader, y’all.

This woman received a bikini as a gift from her mother, but to wear it would mean changing her personal habits.

She and her mother have been at odds over her personal style for some time, so likely her mother knew that the gift was not going to be well received.

AITA for not wearing bikini that mom bought me?

For context, my (19F) mother (44F) has been trying to get me to dress more “s**y” for a while now but it’s just not my thing. I have told her this several times but her response is always the same. I need to start dressing s**y like girls my age, otherwise I will get bullied at university.

This is, of course, a load of bollocks. Not once have I been bullied for my “uns**y” fashion sense. Why would it start now?

She got me a super skimpy swimsuit for Christmas, which pissed me off to no end, but I decided to grin and bear it for the sake of avoiding an argument. I would quietly pack it away and let it gather dust. It’s not like I could wear it anyway as I keep a full bush and the set she got me doesn’t give enough coverage.

When OP decided not to wear her mother’s bikini on a beach trip, things came to a head. Her mother informed her that she needed to do more grooming, lest she be rejected by romantic partners in the future.

OP is sexually active and her boyfriend has no trouble with her choices, but she didn’t feel like discussing it all in front of her family – understandably so.

Recently, we were going on a trip to the beach and I picked my own bikini over my mother’s. She asked me why I wasn’t wearing the bikini she got me for Christmas. I said that I didn’t want to. She blew up at me and called me ungrateful. I told her she needs to listen to me more and not buy things on my behalf just because she likes them.

She asked me what was wrong with the set she got me. I told her that the bikini bottoms didn’t have enough coverage. She told me I need to shave more often but I stood my ground and told her that I like my pubic hair. She said that I need to change my attitude towards grooming or my boyfriend will break up with me.

I desperately wanted to tell her that I am sexually active (she just assumes that I am not because I am an introvert) and that my boyfriend loves my body the way it is but this argument was taking place in the hallway, with my brother (21M) and sister (23F) hearing every word, and I was humiliated enough as it was.

Her boyfriend and brother supported OP, but her sister thinks she should listen to their mom (and seems to agree with her opinions on grooming), so now she’s feeling conflicted.

I was angry and upset and needed to vent so I stormed off to my room and told them that I wasn’t going. My mother’s words really hurt and started to play on my mind, so I FaceTimed my boyfriend for some support. He was so sweet and reassuring. I was in tears when I rang and his lovely words really cheered me up.

I received two separate messages from my siblings. One from my brother asking if I was okay and one from my sister calling me a bitch and siding with our mother. She told me that she was only trying to help and that I would be wise to listen to our mother every once in a while rather than “constantly going against the grain”.

She then followed it up with a rather nasty “Word of advice regarding guys, nobody likes a hairy vag”.

I am so confused right now. My brother and my boyfriend seem to be on my side but my sister is pretty firmly on my mother’s.

Am I the asshole here?

Reddit, of course, is ready to weigh in.

The first comment was about her mother wanting her to “dress more sexy,” which is kind of odd, if you think about it.

Image Credit: Reddit

This woman’s advice was to refuse to discuss it at all.

Image Credit: Reddit

Proof that women have plenty of internalized misogyny of their own.

Image Credit: Reddit

If you want a guy’s point of view…

Image Credit: Reddit

Sadly, this woman is not alone.

Image Credit: Reddit

Y’all, I think we should all try harder to just mind our own business, don’t you think? I mean, it’s worth shot…

What are your thoughts on this? Have you had a similar experience? If so, share it with us in the comments!

A Woman Asked if It’s Rude to Not Wear a Gifted Bikini Because She Doesn’t Shave Down There

If you’re an adult, I think those habits should be your business and no one else’s – not even a romantic partner’s, if we’re being completely honest.

When it comes to health and comfort, I am a crusader, y’all.

This woman received a bikini as a gift from her mother, but to wear it would mean changing her personal habits.

She and her mother have been at odds over her personal style for some time, so likely her mother knew that the gift was not going to be well received.

AITA for not wearing bikini that mom bought me?

For context, my (19F) mother (44F) has been trying to get me to dress more “s**y” for a while now but it’s just not my thing. I have told her this several times but her response is always the same. I need to start dressing s**y like girls my age, otherwise I will get bullied at university.

This is, of course, a load of bollocks. Not once have I been bullied for my “uns**y” fashion sense. Why would it start now?

She got me a super skimpy swimsuit for Christmas, which pissed me off to no end, but I decided to grin and bear it for the sake of avoiding an argument. I would quietly pack it away and let it gather dust. It’s not like I could wear it anyway as I keep a full bush and the set she got me doesn’t give enough coverage.

When OP decided not to wear her mother’s bikini on a beach trip, things came to a head. Her mother informed her that she needed to do more grooming, lest she be rejected by romantic partners in the future.

OP is sexually active and her boyfriend has no trouble with her choices, but she didn’t feel like discussing it all in front of her family – understandably so.

Recently, we were going on a trip to the beach and I picked my own bikini over my mother’s. She asked me why I wasn’t wearing the bikini she got me for Christmas. I said that I didn’t want to. She blew up at me and called me ungrateful. I told her she needs to listen to me more and not buy things on my behalf just because she likes them.

She asked me what was wrong with the set she got me. I told her that the bikini bottoms didn’t have enough coverage. She told me I need to shave more often but I stood my ground and told her that I like my pubic hair. She said that I need to change my attitude towards grooming or my boyfriend will break up with me.

I desperately wanted to tell her that I am sexually active (she just assumes that I am not because I am an introvert) and that my boyfriend loves my body the way it is but this argument was taking place in the hallway, with my brother (21M) and sister (23F) hearing every word, and I was humiliated enough as it was.

Her boyfriend and brother supported OP, but her sister thinks she should listen to their mom (and seems to agree with her opinions on grooming), so now she’s feeling conflicted.

I was angry and upset and needed to vent so I stormed off to my room and told them that I wasn’t going. My mother’s words really hurt and started to play on my mind, so I FaceTimed my boyfriend for some support. He was so sweet and reassuring. I was in tears when I rang and his lovely words really cheered me up.

I received two separate messages from my siblings. One from my brother asking if I was okay and one from my sister calling me a bitch and siding with our mother. She told me that she was only trying to help and that I would be wise to listen to our mother every once in a while rather than “constantly going against the grain”.

She then followed it up with a rather nasty “Word of advice regarding guys, nobody likes a hairy vag”.

I am so confused right now. My brother and my boyfriend seem to be on my side but my sister is pretty firmly on my mother’s.

Am I the asshole here?

Reddit, of course, is ready to weigh in.

The first comment was about her mother wanting her to “dress more sexy,” which is kind of odd, if you think about it.

This woman’s advice was to refuse to discuss it at all.

Proof that women have plenty of internalized misogyny of their own.

If you want a guy’s point of view…

Sadly, this woman is not alone.

Y’all, I think we should all try harder to just mind our own business, don’t you think? I mean, it’s worth shot…
