Ridiculous-Things-Christians-Call-Satanic
My father was a Baptist pastor and had no issue with me playing D&D (3.5 at the time). When he married my step mother, she was a religious zealot and kept at my dad to stop me. One day I came home from school and they were both sitting in the living room and had all my D&D books in a plastic bag, SM having convinced my father they should trash them. I challenged them saying, how could they know they were bad. SM pulled out the players handbook and started reading the description of the cleric spell Chant. "If two clerics of the same religion are chanting, the bonuses are whatever (she didn't know the word cumulative)". I turned to my dad and said, how can you say these are bad if you don't even know what the words mean. He agreed and gave me my books back. TL,DR: My step mother's limited vocabulary saved my D&D booksRidiculous-Things-Christians-Call-Satanic

Caring About What Others Think
Listening to other people tell me what they thought I’d be good at instead of doing what I wanted to do/was interested in. Not really approaching 40, but I turn 31 this year, and for the longest time I had issues taking peoples advice too literal and trying my damndest to please everyone else instead of making myself happy. I wasted 12 years of my life doing this and just floating along before it finally clicked and I went to school for what I do now. I love my job/field, and I beat myself up daily for not doing it sooner and for listening to everyone instead of listening to myself….
Staying Too Long In An Unhappy Marriage
Staying too long in an unhappy marriage. I lost the last half of my 20s and most of my 30s because of it.
People-Opinions-Reddit
Carpet flooring in bathrooms trigger me :/ just don’t put a carpet in a bathroom. A bath mat is fine so you don’t slip when you get out the shower but not the whole carpet floor
What-Feels-Illegal-But-Is-Not
Bringing reusable grocery bags to a different grocery store than the one the bags are branded as.
What-Feels-Illegal-But-Is-Not
Your employer will tell you you're not allowed to discuss your wages but legally you are and you cannot be fired for it
Strange-Things-People-Caught-Doing
When I bought my first pair of night vision goggles, I had them delivered to the TV station I worked at (not trusting my neighbors to leave my [stuff] alone). So, I took a break and tried them out in the only truly dark room I could find. The mens room. A coworker came in, flicked on the lights, and was startled to find me in the middle of the room, blinded by the sudden flash of normal light, brushing my teeth in the pitch dark with night vision goggles. I had to go talk to HR about it. He was freaked out.

Crazy-Ex-Girlfriends-Tell-Their-Story
Accused my boyfriend in high school of having an emotional affair with his best friend that was a girl, it made me uncomfortable when they were alone together or when he would constantly talk about her. For instance he told her how beautiful she was at prom and never commented on my dress. His guy friend, who is still a close friend of mine to this day, ended up pretty much being my date while he hung out with this chick. A lot of his guy friends told me I was just jealous and irrational. I broke up with him feeling like the crazy girlfriend. Fast forward four years and me and my guy friend were talking and he said that this ex boyfriend of mine almost had a restraining order from his former best friend that was a girl. Turns out he was in love with her for years and she led him on big time and would tease him and use him as a tool to make herself feel better when she needed a confidence boost pretty much. He ended up constantly badgering her about how much he loved her to the point of getting drunk and showing up at her house, facebook stalking her etc. and she had to completely cut him out of her life because it was freaking her out. Turns out he was the crazy one and he was cheating on me. Now if I get that feeling I just end the relationship right then and there. Not dealing with that sh*t again.
