house rules-dishes

I had to wash the dishes every night, even if I wasn't home for the meal. There were times I'd get home from an away basketball game (I was in the team) after 10pm and the dishes had sat since they finished reading around 6:30pm. My older brother's nightly chore? Take out the garbage. He'd be done in 2 minutes. I'd have 30+ minutes of washing, drying, putting away, and cleaning up the kitchen.

house rules-bathroom

I wasn't allowed to take a shower if I was home alone. I also learned at age 7 that other households closed the bathroom door when using the toilet and keeping it open was weird. I learned that by keeping the door open at a friend's house, a friend walked by the bathroom, saw me, told their mom, their mom called my mom, and all of a sudden the new house rule was we close the bathroom door when using the toilet.

house rules-open door

My door could only be closed if I was changing clothes. If my parents suspected that I was hiding anything, they could (and did) go through anything to make sure. Dresser and desk drawers, bags, closet, car, whatever they felt was necessary. Even my mail was fair game. As a result, I got really good at hiding things.

FesterJA 44 points · 1 day ago I was a chunky newly separated guy struggling to "run" along a local path when another runner passed me going the other direction for his second lap, while I was still on my first, and said "Keep up the good work you'll get there." That little bit of kindness was an oasis compared to the previous six months of my life. Thank you unknown runner you kept my spirits up that day.

Kiwigirl80 96 points · 1 day ago Two guys in the plane from San Francisco to Minneapolis who helped me when I was flying with my 5 month old son. I was visiting my family that I hadn't seen in like 7 years, alone with my baby. I just had him on me the whole time but one of them helped me put my bag up and he would make faces at my baby when my baby would cry to make him laugh.

CarterBasen 57 points · 1 day ago A random guy at the train station who paid for my snack at the vending machine after mine was stuck in and I had no other money with me. I thought he wanted to use the machine too but he actually just stop to help me and then went to his train. Usually people are assholes in train station (no judging. I'm always in a hurry too and trains are always late.) so it was a surprising and nice thing to do.

SuperSoaku 80 points · 1 day ago A truck driver who followed me leaving like a 100 meters between me and him because my car kept constantly dying on the highway and he didnt want me to be hit. I always do a quick prayer whenever he comes to mind.

TaxAvoision 233 points · 1 day ago I was in a packed bus when I got sudden, aggressive food poisoning. After barely making it off the bus, I spent two minutes vomiting in the middle of a busy street. Dozens of people ignored me until one kind stranger made sure I was okay and handed me a bottle of water.

JustAnotherDegen 672 points · 1 day ago I got in a really bad accident flipping my car multiple times on the interstate and ejected through the front window. A woman named Tracy pulled over and called the ambulance and spoke to my mom on the phone for me since I was unable.

nulmalik 1.2k points · 1 day ago Whenever I go to the airport, I think about that one girl I met when I was like 4, in Miami. She spoke Spanish and back then I only spoke French. Yet we managed to become bff in a matter of minutes. She was so damn generous with all her toys and she drew me a picture as a parting gift. She was so nice. I wonder who she's become.
