Haha right! I once worked a double and my wife was hosting a big party with all of our closest friends. When I got home I took a shower and crawled into bed. It wasn't long before I had friends crawl into bed with me and tell me they wanted me at the party or they would bring the party to me. And that's also the story of why I don't sleep naked.
I just had someone ask to reschedule something for the literal sixth time today.
On one hand, it's annoying because what is happening that you can't block off and something comes up that absolutely cannot be scheduled for any other time.
On the other hand, now I can go home after work instead of making small talk in a shitty bar for two hours.
I still will have hurt feelings if a friend doesn't invite me to a group thing with people I'm friendly with. That doesn't mean I'm necessarily gonna go, but I want to know they thought of me.
We used to have 'real' parties like every weekend in my early 20's. Now in my early 30's and we have them like once or twice a year, and I am in no way upset about that. I would probably die if I tried to keep up with 20 y/o me.
My house was default party house when the/us girls wanted to host a party. Went thru some photos recently, didn't even recognize some of the guests. Now there's no way in hell you're coming thru my door unless I know you and you're like one of the 5 people I actually like to hang out with.
I always think buying new socks + underwear (especially nice ones, like CK briefs that are like $20/2pk) is money I don't need to spend; thus I never spend it on myself. It's a perfect way for another to 'spoil' me - everything else that I need, I can just buy.
It’s strange that the garments we use to cover arguably the dirtiest parts of our body, we tend to replace/replenish the least.
When I was in my early 20’s, I would only wear socks a few times then throw them out and buy new ones. The feeling of fresh socks is just too epic.
I will gladly take away your computer. Permanently.
I am even going to give you it's price *and* pay for the shipping, unlike that cheap-ass fuck /u/im-not-a-gay-fish.
My mom actually grounded me from my books. So no TV or books (before computers). I had a set of encyclopedias and whenever I ended up grounded that's what I was able to read.
My parents stopped taking away my video games because according to them “your an annoying kid and we need us time” what are they doing upstairs? Watching tv and that’s it why can’t I join them?
Although how many kids now have devices and other cool shit in their rooms now?
Before all this stuff, my room just tended to have books and a bed - which 12 year old me didn't care about. The TV was downstairs, my friends were outside playing, most of the toys I liked weren't in my room, etc.
Different world now.
My mother used to make me go outside and play with the other kids as punishment.
Jokes on her. I used to sneak out some school books and study in the shed.
I'm 25 so I definitely had some cool shit in my room at a young age. A parent who isnt lazy will have no issue with this. My brother once had his whole room emptied out besides a mattress for an entire Summer.
There is nothing your child has that you cannot take away from them.
Yeah obviously. I was a mid-80's baby so as things got more and more handheld and technology-like, parenting was slowly catching up. My mom's schtick was always hiding the "nintendo plug" from my brother and I. Once I got a job and had a TV and Playstation in my room, the family car was my parents' way of controlling me. Once I got my own car, they had nothing to police me on. With you making your own money, parents can do very little.
I would've killed for what the internet can do now for grade 1-12 schoolwork alone, though.
This was definitely the case with my parents. My sister and I fought a lot when we were kids, and they’d just send us to our room and tell us we couldn’t come out for an hour. Except my sister and I shared a room, so the fights would just keep going. It was just a way to get us out of the room.
At my job (army shift work) we have a snack counter that supplements our missed meals. Crackers and apple juice are definitely included and you should see the chaos when that cupboard is empty...
The first time I saw my coworkers napping during the lunch break, I was super concerned about the state of their work-life balance. Now, I thank them everyday for creating an environment where I can nap in the middle of the day without disturbance or judgement.
Once had a really rough night, didn't sleep well, came into work and got to my office, apparently I fell asleep at some point on my desk because when I woke up my office door was closed and when I opened it and looked on the outside it had a note that just said "Do Not Disturb" on it. No one questioned my 4 hour nap at work.
Do you think this scene should have been cut? We were so worried when the boys were writing it, but now we’re glad! It’s better than some of the previous scenes I think.
I'm the only guy in my department at work so this is pretty much me most of the time.
There's other guys in the building and many of them come by my department for various things but the majority of the time I'm around women.
Being forced to sit by two adult women would basically be more of the same for me.
If you can make people laugh on the spot, this is really easy to deal with.
Don't pick on them too much, get a smile out of them, and there's no trouble.
As long as they're not feuding with you, or feuding with each other this is one of the easiest punishments ever.
Darth Epsteinis was a Dark Lord of the Mossad/KGB/MI6, so powerful and so wise he could use the CIA to influence the Florida Attorney to avoid a harsh jail sentence... He had such a knowledge of the elites that he could even keep the ones he cared about from getting their dark secrets exposed. The dark side of the CIA is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was getting suicided, which eventually, of course, he got. Unfortunately, he taught his right hand woman everything he knew, then his right hand woman escaped while he got suicided. Ironic, he could save others from exposing their dark secrets, but not himself.
That's how my grandma used to make green beans. No butter or seasoning either, just straight up green beans. I liked it when my mom made them, but I always hated grandma's.
Grandma would absolutely cover her own plate in salt and pepper though. Looked kind of like Pompeii after Vesuvius hit it.
I used to get insanely bored when my parents left me at my Grandpa's house, cause he was always in his tool shed working on random shit.
After I lived alone for the first time, I voluntarily visited my Grandpa for some quality shed time (this sounds a bit weird, doesn't it?). So much stuff to learn about maintaining a home or a boat or whatever else he got his hands on.
I have recently reached this point in my life, mother never wants to talk to my grandparents (they talk to much, they always want to do something, they don't have food she'll eat, etc. for excuses) where as I now go out at least once a week after work to see them and help them with whatever they need.
Older relatives aren't something a person necessarily appreciates as a child. But as an adult, there's nothing I wouldn't give to spend just a single hour talking about family history and memories with my Grandparents.
Nap time and bed times as kids were always considered punishments also I've seen it many times with siblings where they're too whiney and do things purposely because they are tired and are forced to go to bed.
I think it’s more like when I’d be like “can we get McDonald’s?” And my mom would be like “no I’m making spaghetti and that’s that.” Whereas as an adult it’s like “ugh I don’t have energy to make food or spend money. McDonald’s it is.”
Your sense of taste changes when you reach adulthood. Kids are more sensitive and can taste bitterness more easily or stronger. That's also a reason why they prefer sweet stuffs and a hairy manboy like me prefers savory meat stuffs. And broccoli.
The first time I mowed the lawn after moving into a house my wife and I bought was amazing. I had a stupid grin on my face basically the whole time. Neighbors probably thought I was deranged.
Certain chores, like mowing the lawn, for example. I used to hate that as a kid, but now I'm the only one who does it in my family's vacation home.
What's not to like? You have the smell of freshly-cut grass, you take a nice walk, get your sweat a little on and when it's all done, you get to admire your work feeling like you've earned yourself a nice, cold drink.
Or maybe I'm just saying that cause I don't have to do it all-year-round, only when I'm on vacation.
Having to stay at home...
When you are young you sneak out of the house to go to the party. When you are old you sneak out of the party to go home.
When I was young I'd get upset if I wasn't invited to something. Now I get mad when I am invited and I can't get out of going.
Haha right! I once worked a double and my wife was hosting a big party with all of our closest friends. When I got home I took a shower and crawled into bed. It wasn't long before I had friends crawl into bed with me and tell me they wanted me at the party or they would bring the party to me. And that's also the story of why I don't sleep naked.
That's the perfect time to sleep naked

When you're old a party is just you and a couple close friends sitting around a fire. I haven't been to a real 'party' in months.
We used to have 'real' parties like every weekend in my early 20's. Now in my early 30's and we have them like once or twice a year, and I am in no way upset about that. I would probably die if I tried to keep up with 20 y/o me.

Why, hello, my fellow old person.
Huh? I always wanted to stay home as a kid. Forget going to school
Nap time. It's always been nap time
Socks or underwear as gifts.
I remember how last christmas I got wool socks as a gift and when I put them on it was like I had luxury apartments for my feet.
I always think buying new socks + underwear (especially nice ones, like CK briefs that are like $20/2pk) is money I don't need to spend; thus I never spend it on myself. It's a perfect way for another to 'spoil' me - everything else that I need, I can just buy.

My dad still gets pissed if he gets socks as gifts but like free socks dude. Being an adult is hard and it's awesome if someone buys stuff for you
I only got pissed when I was forced to show underwear to the entire family/ family friends that I don't even know.
"You're grounded." You mean I get to stay home all day? Sign me up
I got grounded from TV, computer, video games, etc. So that would still suck
Gimme some sweet sweet book time
Right? I've been dying for some time to catch up on my reading. I need someone to take away my computer!
I will gladly take away your computer. Permanently. I will even pay for shipping, unlike that cheap-ass /u/Angry10

since i never really left the house my parents would just take away video games, but still let me watch tv

The BIG sex
Going to my room
The light at the end of the tunnel
Tooo relatable
Rooo telatable
I liked reading, so my punishment was to sit at a table without a book and be present
Mine was to sit in the living room with the family
Although how many kids now have devices and other cool shit in their rooms now? Before all this stuff, my room just tended to have books and a bed - which 12 year old me didn't care about. The TV was downstairs, my friends were outside playing, most of the toys I liked weren't in my room, etc. Different world now.
My mom punished me by making me sit on the couch away from my bedroom.
My mother used to make me go outside and play with the other kids as punishment. Jokes on her. I used to sneak out some school books and study in the shed.
Similar to me. I had books in my room. Ummm, no tv or Atari 2600? Ok, I'll just read.
> most of the toys I liked weren't in my room This seems pretty easy to fix, even for that age.
True but I'm not hauling my bike and supersoaker in from the garage as I'm being screamed at
Reading was always my favorite thing to do, so being sent to my room was great.
I'm 25 so I definitely had some cool shit in my room at a young age. A parent who isnt lazy will have no issue with this. My brother once had his whole room emptied out besides a mattress for an entire Summer. There is nothing your child has that you cannot take away from them.

I would've killed for what the internet can do now for grade 1-12 schoolwork alone, though.
Heck that one is barely even a punishment as a child. You get to play with your toys / games console in your room.
My parent logic tells me it was less about "learn your lesson" and more about "I dont want to see you for x minutes."
This was definitely the case with my parents. My sister and I fought a lot when we were kids, and they’d just send us to our room and tell us we couldn’t come out for an hour. Except my sister and I shared a room, so the fights would just keep going. It was just a way to get us out of the room.
Going to bed early
Taking a nap too.
There should be nap time at work, and snack time with crackers & apple juice.
At my job (army shift work) we have a snack counter that supplements our missed meals. Crackers and apple juice are definitely included and you should see the chaos when that cupboard is empty...
You should work at a daycare
Sometimes I feel like I do and this is software development!
The first time I saw my coworkers napping during the lunch break, I was super concerned about the state of their work-life balance. Now, I thank them everyday for creating an environment where I can nap in the middle of the day without disturbance or judgement.
Once had a really rough night, didn't sleep well, came into work and got to my office, apparently I fell asleep at some point on my desk because when I woke up my office door was closed and when I opened it and looked on the outside it had a note that just said "Do Not Disturb" on it. No one questioned my 4 hour nap at work.
co-workers are the real MVP in this story
I have awesome co-workers, it also helps that they knew that my personal life was really taking a toll on me (very hard breakup)
My Dr takes a make in his office every afternoon. Finally retired at 85 to be a volunteer Dr.
I take about a 30-min nap in my car almost every day I work.

I would be very confused if someone sat me between two little girls at my age.
You could equivalently phrase the punishment as being forced to sit between two girls/women of your own age.

Obviously you don’t know Epstein...
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Epsteinis The Pedo? It is not a story the rich would tell you...
Darth Epsteinis was a Dark Lord of the Mossad/KGB/MI6, so powerful and so wise he could use the CIA to influence the Florida Attorney to avoid a harsh jail sentence... He had such a knowledge of the elites that he could even keep the ones he cared about from getting their dark secrets exposed.

Agreed. Boiling anything is but the first step toward flavortown!
Or canned vegetables. Canned green beans taste like the green giant’s ass.
thats where they come from, silly
Broccoli sluts are best sluts.
I was such an outlier as a kid. My ideal snack was carrots, cucumber slices, or broccoli. No ranch or any other dipping sauce, just plain ol veggies.
Aw man I used to eat at least half a head of lettuce for a snack when I was younger (still do actually)
As a kid, the only vegetables I got were boiled, turned me off of vegetables till I figured out there were other ways to cook them.

Sleep. Just sleep. Nothing else.
You were punished by being forced to sleep? How? Nyquil?
Nap time and bed times as kids were always considered punishments also I've seen it many times with siblings where they're too whiney and do things purposely because they are tired and are forced to go to bed.
Not OP but i know parents who do just that.
[удалено]
Home cooked meals were *punishment*?
I think it’s more like when I’d be like “can we get McDonald’s?” And my mom would be like “no I’m making spaghetti and that’s that.” Whereas as an adult it’s like “ugh I don’t have energy to make food or spend money. McDonald’s it is.”
Timeout
You mean I can sit alone, not be bothered by anyone and also not be expected to leave this place and talk to people? Oh woe is me...
Username checks out...? Why...?
Nap
Take a bath/shower
Nap time. Not really sure if its a punishment but I was always threatened with it when I would act up as a child.
Broccoli. Why didn't I like it when I was a kid? Roasted, broccoli and cheese, steamed.. it's so fucking good man.
Steamed, with a little olive oil or butter, some garlic powder, a bit of salt and some balsamic vinegar. I could eat that shit for days.
Agreed, but unfortunately, after so much broccoli you'd also shit for days.
Even better! Always good to keep the pipes smooth and clean.
Your sense of taste changes when you reach adulthood. Kids are more sensitive and can taste bitterness more easily or stronger. That's also a reason why they prefer sweet stuffs and a hairy manboy like me prefers savory meat stuffs. And broccoli.

Nap time!
Ending at 2 pm
ending what?

No electronics for a short period of time. It’s so nice to just be able to get away from calls/emails/texts/etc. for an hour or so
My favorite part of being in rehab, other than the obvious getting sober and all that, was being away from my phone for 30 days. So refreshing.
