Say you don't eat meat and everybody offers you some, say you don'T drink alcohol and everybody offers you some, say you don't have sex - nothing!

It was that moment on Ellen that shocked me deeply. She was trying to force Mariah Carey to drink alcohol to see if she was pregnant or not. That's when she showed the world what an awful toxic hag she is.

Yeah, I always get 'you're no fun' remarks. I don't like the taste, I don't like being smashed, and I don't need booze to have a good time. And if you need booze just to stand my company, I'm out, lol.

Do not offer me alcohol at 1:15 pm if you need me awake at 1:25pm.

I think you should ask why. Because next time I know if I should offer again or not. Tell me you don't drink, I'll never offer again. Tell me you're a bit under the weather or just don't fancy it today, I'll, offer next time. Asking is fine, just ask the right way.

A friend of mine taught me to order a Henry Weinharts root beer (bars usually have something like that) and carry the bottle around. Suddenly the endless peer pressure vanishes.

This is so true. When my husband tells people he doesn't drink alcohol, he is frequently asked if he is a recovering alcoholic - "Nope, why would you think that? I just don't like the taste of alcohol."

The only person who insisted I drink was my father, an alcoholic. I just said no. I was under age at the time. At a party he wanted me to at least hold a drink just to be sociable. Again I refused.

I cannot stress this one enough. it's none of your business why I don't drink, and one time saying no thank you, is enough.

I had a coworker once who just could not let it go. He was hardcore himself, think pint of whiskey rinsed down with 15 cheap beers, but he absolutely tormented me over my abstinence until I told him MYOFB. Then he called me a pri¢k.

I don't drink anymore and I don't really hang out with anyone who does, but the only thing I press further than this is "should I never offer you alcohol, I don't want to bother you". That way I'm not hassling someone who would never want it. Once I know it's permanent, I back off. Or if they tell me it's just that day or whatever, I'll politely offer next time.

I know people that do this, unfortunately. They know it's annoying, they just don't give a f**k about other people

Wait, what did you say? Sorry, I was looking at Bored Panda on my phone.

Why would I want to bring kids up in these awful times ahead.

In a similar situation, I used to be asked why I only had one child. Or told I was "selfish" for only having one. Or, in a slightly more positive way (I guess), "Your daughter is so gorgeous! I hope you're having another!". Yeah, well my daughter is the only surviving baby out of 10 pregnancies. I had 9 first trimester miscarriages, some of which became seriously life-threatening, so I consider myself pretty lucky to have one child, actually.

In my disliking of the whole "girls hating on girls" cliché, I always compliment other females on something they r wearing. I don't care that they didn't ask for it cuz sometimes ppl just need to hear something nice from a total stranger.

Where I used to work, a colleague miscarried. Another colleague told her, “God needed the baby more than you” in some weird attempt to be comforting. Everyone else was like WTF?

I can totally relate to that. I hope the pain u suffer is at least bearable. Hope u find something that helps u out!

Yes, as someone with chronic daily migraine headaches, invisible and painful, I have had a headache every day for 20 years. And I hate when people tell me to pop an aspirin and it will be fine, or tell me that if I lose weight it will improve.

Not just escalators, but also stairs at the train station. Or sitting on them. I do not want to hit them with my bike.

Lmao, having heard this for most of my life, definitely not heard or taken as a compliment most of the time. Certain people can get away with calling me skinny cuz they say it a certain way and I love 'em. Other than that, no.

Oh I'll move it! I'll take it for a little trip around the store if you're not paying attention. Might even add a few things it.

Touching a stranger randomly, without permission, for any reason at all is just a big no.

"Why do you talk so much?" would be considered rude though, right?

That's not just rude but also very stupid

I always think you can figure out how it feels by swapping the person around. If you think for example that hotpants are ok, visualise your dad in them and ask whether they're ok. No, they're not. They're lechy. Now, do the same thought with the above. Swap disabled person with black person. "Oh look how inspirational, a black person in a store!" ... f**k off. So if your gut reaction to the person swap is "ewww gross" then yes, ANY comment on ANY person in that scenario is "eww gross".

I have been guilty of this. Not screaming or being super loud but kinda disregarding my surroundings while with a bunch of people unless I had to interact with said environment

As someone who is slightly terrified of random dogs, I agree with the first sentence

My question would be: "how should an autistic person look like?" 🤦

I don't mind discussing work with colleagues while on my lunch break, so not everyone will think this is rude...

I hate never getting a word in.

First out of the plane wins

It is super easy to step into that trap. I have to admit I also do that sometimes but if I do I wanted to tell the other person that they are not alone but I am also thinking "dammed u shouldn't do that" while talking. But then it's too late 😔

Uncle asked my kid why are they so quiet and she said, why are younso loud, i could hear you even before i walked tru the front door the poor neighbours

same for anyone suffering anything. I have loads of allergies and people tell me stupid s**t like "well if you only ate healthy like more nuts"... f**k right off... I am precisely allergic to that "healthy" s**t.

I always understood it like "you're not alone" and actually felt better?..

What does protective style mean?

Just so you know, I would have shown up (unless death or a family member, or serious illness) - I don’t get invited to parties so when ai do, I take it seriously.

I'm ok with this one. I'm definitely heading to old age now so if a youngish person says this I feel quite good about myself.
