The BP site is currently infested with random downvote fairies who apparently can’t stand: 1. a legit question 2. Saying ‘wut’ on funny posts 3. Saying something they don’t agree with, like saying pineapple on pizza is nice. Come on, dumb downvote fairies. If it wasn’t offensive or spam, LEAVE IT. And this is my second account, my first one has been banned because on my third suspension I dared to say ‘I don’t get it’ on a joke. (I’m Down With Agent Hedgehog btw) All the hate around is sometimes ridiculous.

Holy god, yes. Thank you. When I warn people they think it's funny so go out of their way to do it. What they don't always realise is that I have PTSD. They assume I'm just being sensitive. But when I am triggered I stay in a heightened fear state for a while. I syruggle and can't always reset. I usually end up in tears. Like for me-- it isn't amusing, it's emotionally punishing.

Yeah for a few months after I got a horrible injury from an accident involving a window people would intentionally and loudly bring up windows around me as a weird joke or to try and trigger me. It doesn't trigger me thankfully (unlike actually touching a pane of glass which makes my anxiety skyrocket) I have another trigger but I've only told my closer friends about it cause it's rare for it to come up in conversation, and I don't trust anyone who isnt me to be responsible with my mental health.

The most important people at a wedding are the people who are getting married. Compliment them. Tell them how amazing they are. If someone compliments one of the other women’s dress, then point out the bride’s dress. You only get one wedding, hopefully, so make the day special for those making the vows, not the guests.

I mean, 100% make the people getting married feel beautiful and special, but I reject the idea of not also complimenting other people. Unless someone else's outfit is inappropriate for a wedding (white with lace, for example), absolutely compliments it, too. Big people up always when they aren't hurting others. Compliment the bride, compliment the groom, compliment the little child in their first formal outfit, compliment the beaming relatives, compliment the person with the funky hair, compliment the caterer's nails, just make people feel good.

It doesn't have to work 100% for the eyes. For example, if they send you a gift, you send them a gift. If they thank you, you say you're welcome. Basically (Newton's first law) - everything has an equal (gift for gift) or opposite reaction (eye for eyes).

When you are leaving a workspace, always tidy up as much as you can. When I was leaving a workspace, I (and everyone there) was stacking their chairs up. The man next to me didnt put his up. We all asked him if he was going to and he said "No. I dont want to." We said that the cleaners already work hard enough and are underpaid. He said "I don't care" We told him that it was a quick thing to do to make their job easier. He said " Isnt that their job?" Everyone was frustrated and put it up for him. Just dissapointed

Leave places as you find them. You eat snacks in a hotel? Throw your trash out. You we looking for a power cable? Close every drawer you opened! I recently got back from vacation-- just before leaving i spent a week deep cleaning so i could come back to a nice clean relaxed place and it would be clutter free and easy to maintain for my roommate. My roommate didn't take the garbage out during the 4weeks, the floors were caked in mud. There was a pile of smelly dishes and spent my first two days back cleaning just to get it half way to what it was before i left.

... knowing he got paid to dog/house sit to boot genuinely pissed me off the most. Like it wasn't much but also-- he lives here and wasn't being asked to do much. The kitchen garbage was full so instead of emptying it, he just started throwing things into the greenbin which is only for organics so I had to sort that when i got back. When i was cleaning he stood talking to me, didn't offer to help or anything. I've never been angrier in my life.

Don't talk to people higher up on the key chain. There is a food chain in school, no matter what anyone tells you. The richer and "more talented" people are usually the ones on top. There are book nerds, video game geeks, weirdos, goths, jocks, artists, shy kids, and all other flavors of people in school. Everyone is equal, but people don't see it that way. An unspoken rule at school is that anyone remotely weird or not "popular" can't hold a conversation with the "hot" and "popular" people. Of course, I don't abide by this rule. It's way more fun to weird people out. But that's my contribution (;

Haha I also don't do this. I wouldn't call myself unpopular although I'm not popular specifically cause it's not like a trans gay guy can be popular in a middle school, but some of my close friends are definitely in the popular category. To be fair I'm in a lot of friend groups- queer, dnd, ultimate frisbee, smart, chaotic and dumb (although the last two are pretty much the same people in different scenarios)- so it makes sense that I'd have at least a few popular friends.

Might just be a Seattle thing (read; normal human being thing) but don't talk to people you don't know. It's creepy and weird. Don't sit next to them in a public area, if you have to sit as far away as possible, and do not start talking to them. It's incredibly creepy. If you need directions, that's fine, but don't walk up to someone and ask them if they like the weather. That is creepy. If you have a genuine reason to talk to a stranger, it's fine, but don't just make small talk with an innocent person.
