“Sets Timers Instead Of Alarms”: 30 People Share Hilarious And Sometimes Cringe “Beige Flags”

This one's pretty funny. Waste not, want not ...

That's actually kind of cute.

How do you carry on a conversation with him ? I have so many questions.

my friend is like this and its hilarious

No

Asking all the questions on people who do this is amazing, because they answer. Not sure if always honest or true.

I dream mostly every night and unfortunately it is not always boring. What I notice is that I do not feel such things as hunger, thirst and pain. In the end, there are recurring scenarios that take place primarily in my parents' house, where I grew up. Sometimes it happens that I have 'meaningful' conversations and as I would recognize this in my dream I would wake up. Couple of nights ago my former bedroom was on fire and I could clearly feel the heat of the flames....

My husband and I both worked at the county welfare office. I lay in bed one night and listened to him do an entire cash assistance interview.

I've had my partner act like this too. Such attitude I couldn't see the v@gina that was in the closet..

Well1 IF you want any sleep, you better get to the driving range and improve that shot. Otherwise, 1:30 its on!

That's a form of sleepwalking - sleeptalking. They're usually a different personality, too. Can be quite nasty..

Lol!!!

I'm sorry, but as annoying as this must be, I also find it hilarious.

I loved how he finds it endearing instead of annoying.

As someone with high-functioning autism, this sounds like it might be Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many High Functioning Autistic people have trouble with chatting and casual conversation. The fact he has to google topics for conversation hints he might be having trouble with casual social skills and is making an effort to compensate. Likewise, the fact he asks intimate questions in a room full of people suggests he has trouble understanding social propriety and boundaries, another thing difficult for people with autism.

Put him in front of a mirror and tell him that he is cute and a keeper, because he is actually listening to you. My one, I could tell him 200 times how a watch is beautiful and he would still show up on valentines or birthdays with something else but the watch.

What's rizz?

Umm...aren't alarm clocks just a type of timer?

I think this is a healthy self care boundary and not a flag at all.

"Snack budget"? That doesn't sound good.

I think that flag is red, not beige!

Thanks random boyfriend!

Girlfriend's version of zoomies!

I am waving the beige flag. I do this very thing.

In high school, my brother loved convincing people that "gullible" wasn't actually in the dictionary.

I've often said that it's as selfish to refuse to receive as it is to refuse to give, because in refusing to receive we are denying other people the opportunity to be generous and we are refusing to be grateful to other, instead insisting they always be indebted to us. Generosity sometimes means allowing others to be generous too.

100% me. Not hypochondria or attention seeking, my body is just a POS. I either try not to comment on it because I can absolutely see how this would be annoying, or I make it a joke, like, ugh, what's broken on me now?

I friggin hate when people do that! Didn't you read the rest? Is your brain function that limited? Why?!

When my children went through this phase I'd pretend to not know what they wanted until they spoke properly. (And, yes, they were fully able to articulate clearly.)

I don't understand why that would make the waiter embarrassed - he'll either have an actual favorite that he'll recommend, if not then he'll pick something at random from the menu (or something expensive)... or maybe the manager said "hey, we've got too much fish, so push the fish!" and recommend that. Not sure where the discomfort would come from unless the waiter was so unfamiliar with the menu that he couldnt think of a single dish to recommend.

I'm like that and I'm a woman. If they want to say, they will tell me - that's my reasoning.

Maybe he thinks it’s a beige flag that you call yourself a scheduled girly.

i’m like this

This is me, and this is apparently very common in people who have ADHD (not saying she does). I hate having notifications hanging over me, so I open the message, and if I'm in the right mood I'll respond. But sometimes I think "I'll get back to it later" and then totally forget the message ever existed until the next time I think to text that person.

i’m like this. but i don’t have money

Sounds like a mental health issue to me, is she okay?

This is funny; some of y'all are severely overthinking it.

maybe give him a head start?

Chugs a monster? What if the monster in question doesn't WANT to be someone's breakfast drink?

This isn't a beige flag...it's just alcoholism

Sounds like social anxiety to me. We don't speak because once, many years ago, we said something that sounded really awkward and remembering it still makes us physically cringe. We're afraid we'll do it again.

Green flag = he seems to be responsible as he doesn't want to miss work/ school. Red flag : your sleep is important too and he should consider it. After you prove to him many times and he still doesn't believe that alarm will go of.

that kinda maybe sounds like a mental health issue?
