35 People Share What They Thought Was A Useless Piece Of Advice, But Changed Their Minds After Trying It

Classic example of this: My now former wife and I were driving on a long trip. She asked, "Are you thirsty?" I replied, "No, I'm fine," and kept driving. I learned later she was rather upset because SHE was thirsty. "Why didn't you just say so?" She didn't really know. We discussed it more and it came down to her not wanting to seem demanding or needy or that I was there just to fulfill her wishes.

Dog Owner Witnesses Peculiar Behavior At The Dog Park, Asks The Internet If His Dog Just Lied To Another Dog

I had two dogs. Zorro would gulp down his treats but Jazz liked to save his for a little while. One day, after gobbling his treat and seeing Jazz still had his, Zorro rushed into the garden, barking frantically, as if their nemesis, the neighbor's cat, was out there. Jazz rush out to join the barking, leaving his treat behind. Zorro ran in and gobbled the unguarded snack.

People Remain Convinced That We 'Aged' Faster In The Past, Post 28 Pics To Prove This Theory (New Pics)

It used to be that several generations lived together under one roof. That meant the adult-to-child ratio often favored adults, and the home was an adult culture. If kids wanted to participate, if they wanted respect, they mimicked the adults, including having jobs that contributed to the family finances. That's why in old photos you often see young boys going about their daily lives dressed in suits. Getting a suit was a step on the ladder to adulthood. By comparison, the modern nuclear family is usually child-oriented, with children protected and pampered and treated like, well, children. So a lot of people never want to grow up, which is one reason we have so many adults still dressing like kids. Like all the guys in shorts, t-shirts and a backwards ball cap.
