I just got summons today for the week between Christmas and New Years. Have to believe it’s not gonna happen. I was an alternate for a jury two years ago, and it was really interesting.

I didn’t think this was unpopular but: I think you’re an asshole if you put your trash in other peoples bins without getting permission. I don’t give a shit if YOU don’t care if THEY would bc you’re NOT PUTTING IT IN YOUR OWN BIN.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
It’s not like pads and tampons are so cheap. One pair of underwear pays for itself pretty quickly. Anyway, it’s totally fine if they’re not your thing; my point was only that there are equally gross things that get washed whether you rinse them, put them on a sanitize cycle or just trust the machine to do its thing!
Fair point. The original UO was that period panties are gross. I’ll stand by my opinion that they are grosser than using disposable menstrual products. All bodily fluids are gross. I’m ok with handling them as little as possible.
(Waits for the people with reusable toilet paper to jump in).
I swear back at the old place, some people said on their super light days they just wore black underwear. So I guess they were ahead of their time on the period panties. 🤷🏼♀️
I really want to end buying for my nieces and nephew this year for Christmas. They are teens, spoiled, and have everything they could possibly want and need. They have unused gift cards, cash lying around that they didn't even know they had (under their bed, in pockets, uncashed checks from me). When I send or give gift, I never know if it's received but whatever...I don't expect much at this point...
Maybe a gift to a charity in their name this year? But for teens?

Do it! I give you permission to stop buying for them.
They sound ungrateful. No charity donations are required, so if you’re feeling pressure to do “something’, don’t do that either. Just a simple holiday greeting or call will do.
A lot of people hate New Year’s Eve. My UO is that I actually like it. Dressed up, drunk and kissing my H. What’s not to like? This is why I also love weddings.
Thanksgiving is a stupid holiday based on a white-washed lie. But as a Jewish kid, it was the one truly “American” holiday we got during the holiday season so I embraced it.
The best part about not celebrating Christmas though is that we take a fab vacation every year. I used to have envy, but not anymore.
I love weddings! Especially weddings where you are guest and not in the bridal party. I never want to be a BM again.
But I *hate* NYE. It seems so dumb to stay up until midnight and feel societal pressure to do something to mark an arbitrary changing of the calendar.
I loved it before I had a child. It was great when I was a teen and into my 20s, really good from then until becoming a parent when we started staying home and doing nothing but staying up late. And I swear I am the only parent I know that doesn't keep their child up to see the ball drop. No thanks.
Oooh, “slice” (referring to pizza) is so New York. Like I don’t even know how you would order it otherwise. (Now YOU would be holding up the line trying to order a “piece of pizza.” 😂)
If someone selling pizza in NYC pretended not to know what someone meant by "piece of pizza" my eyes would roll right out of my head lol
It's a slice or a square, asking for a "piece" requires further conversation. And then you're in the way.
I like them for light days and backup (especially overnight). There’s something nice (and greener!) about not having to wear a liner. I don’t wear them as primary protection on heavy days.
ETA: Also, we wash plenty of clothes and sheets with bodily fluids on them (from sex or my kid having an accident or my period showing up early). You’re supposed to rinse them before washing, but don’t pretend they’re any grosser than normal life.
I don’t put clothes into the wash without pre washing blood, poop, etc out of them. Bodily fluids are one thing. My crime scene periods are another. Hard pass on adding more prewashing/rinsing to my life.
So, people spend like $20 on a pair of underwear just for light days? I still don’t get it. I’m all for greener living, but I’ll accept this just isn’t for me.
I have VERY heavy periods. So I use a cup and Thinx as back up. I still overflow in 45 minutes on my heavy days.
Then I use just Thinx on super light days.
But I agree that everyone has their own line as to what is gross to them. I used cloth diapers and I use Thinx and a cup, but reusable toilet paper is not for me. As long as you don't judge others for using it, who cares? We all find something gross and some things ok.

Just send a card. The obligation to give people gifts is annoying, especially if they aren’t in your family.
Add an aside to slice/piece, living outside of NY drives me crazy when it comes to pizza. At least twice, we have tried to order a pie at a pizzeria and were told, "we don't sell pie here." It's a pizza pie, people!!!

Also, I find that calling periods gross doesn’t sit well with me. But this could also be that I’m just super hormonal right now.

Instead of calling them gross, I should have just stated that I don't want to deal with any more messes than necessary. I absolutely apologize for perpetuating any idea that periods are gross or worse than any other bodily function.
Women have been shamed into hiding any bodily functions for eternity. Hormonal or not, your point is valid. Thank you for calling it out.

Same. It's blood. It happens. It's not gross, nor are the sanitary products.
I'm built like a damned butterball turkey, all gut and not as big legs, which means that leggings just never sit right on my midsection. I sympathize.
@@@
I still have a "pooch" of extra skin/fat from the 80 pounds I gained while pregnant (ahem, 13 years ago) that I can't get rid of, so leggings are fine when I'm standing, but the second I sit, they roll down. It's annoying.
I love Christmas lights. I love Christmas decorations. I still think people are getting carried away. There are several HUGE walk throughs within 5 minutes drive of my house one was on the Great Christmas Light Fight and the other is even bigger. Now there are several more with timed light music shows and all of them keep posting on Facebook to get people to come to their "shows". I don't really get the obsession with getting tons of people to come to your house. People have been asking for maps since Halloween so they can drive around every town hitting the big places. OH MY GOD STAY HOME.
Every time I find dog poop on the lawn, or a dog poop bag in the trash, I fantasize of going over to their house and leaving a poopy kid diaper or just kid poop on the lawn or trash. Wtf, people?
Dogs and their poop are not some magical creature outside of general hygiene and sanitation rules.
If you wouldn’t want someone’s toddler doing it at your house, don’t do it at theirs with your dog. That includes letting your dog pop a squat and then scooping.

It’s not that I think periods themselves are gross - I get that it’s just another bodily function. I just find the *sensation/feeling* of sitting in blood/liquid to feel gross. Which is why pads have always felt awful to me, personally. It seems like Thinx would feel similarly, but what do I know. To each their own lol.
Pads, disposable and reusable, are absorbent. I’ve never been able to ring one out.
I don’t really care what works for you regarding period hygiene, just that you have access to your choice products. but I think it’s a thin line between, “That’s not for me,” and, “Omg ew, gross!” and the foot is headed over the line in this thread.

Wait, what? So you're saying don't let dogs poop on lawns even if you pick it up? Or only if they leave the bag of poop in your trash?
I hate using my instant pot for just rice. When we bought the instant pot we got rid of our rice cooker because it's redundant to have two rice cookers. The instant pot is bulky, heavy and annoying to clean. I miss my little red rice cooker.

would you want a human doing it? If not, then I don’t want your dog doing it. Dog poop is disgusting.

Poop on your own lawn or at least the street.
This is unpopular opinions so I 100% agree, even if I'm not going to chase someone off my yard for doing it. Why have we normalized bringing your pet to some strangers house, pooping on their lawn, grabbing most of it with a baggy, and then leaving. You wouldn't spit on someone else's yard, why are you leaving poop remnants?

lol to trying to control where a dog poops. What am I supposed to do? Catch it in my hands? Drag her 5 feet into the street? I think it's more gross to get it on the sidewalk where people are walking.
If your toddler was walking down the sidewalk and had an accident that ended up on my lawn and you cleaned it up, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Curb your dog! Yes dogs should poop on the sidewalk or the street over someone’s lawn!
