Why Would They Do This? | Reading Reddit Stories

"I'm here with two huge embarrassments," talking about his boss and his wife

We're 4 minutes into the episode and we're giving away BEANS

I'm a teacher. I taught 5th grade one year... I had a girl come to me crying because she, no joke, thought she was dying because she was "bleeding down there." She'd gotten her first monthly friend... and she had no clue what it was! A few days later I saw her mom at the school and said hi. TLDR, mom basically told me she didn't bother filling her daughter in because she'd "just figure it out." It really is so sad how uneducated people have become and how nonchalant parents are toward their children's hormonal changes

“Bada bing bada boom - slurs” Laughed for 30 seconds at that

Getting my PhD in genetics. Yes it is possible for an AB parent to have an O child but it is EXCEEDINGLY rare and goes far beyond these Punnett squares you learn in a basic introductory genetics course. We’d have to get into more complex genetic phenomena like chimerism or a relatively recently discovered Cis-AB gene (both A and B on one allele rather than having an A allele and and B allele). But it’s far more likely that something else happened. They could’ve gotten the wrong baby from the hospital. It’s scary how often I hear about that. Could’ve been a sperm donor too like Courtney suggested. She also could’ve sadly cheated. There’s a lot of reasons something like this could’ve happened and we just don’t know

Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like the real weird people are those who just start having sex in front of people idk

For the “turn gay” story, I’m honestly surprised no one brought up the possibility that the gal has been harboring a crush on him for a while now (post-rejection) and is too shy to make a move, so her finding out that he’s married to a man and him leading her to believe he’s gay rather than bi might’ve made her think she never had and could never have a chance with him. Like, she said “I hear marriage is rough,” in response to seeing his wedding ring which is honestly a very weird comment imo. It felt like she was hoping he’d agree that things are rough and she could then create a hope/fantasy that one day he’d leave his wife and make a move on her again. She might have convinced herself into believing _he_ was still carrying a torch for _her_ because he still frequents that store and still chats with her.

we're all glossing over the funnier possibility that the barnes and noble worker is ultra religious and legitimately thinks she's damned this man's soul or sumn

O- is universal donor and AB+ is universal receiver.

I had a genetics teacher that said every year in her class she had at least one person find out that they were either adopted or not biologically related to their father

48:07 i'm sorry, but no, it's 100% on the couple who comes into the room to ask for privacy. Saying that it's on the guy who was already in the room and stayed is just plain stupid.

Ian & Court - I'm getting ready for quotable moment after quotable moment.

So, in nursing school we were learning how to give pelvic exams. The instructor was telling us how to find the cervix and saying things like “you know what the female anatomy looks like” and me and the other two gay men in the class were like.. no.. She got mad and said we were being difficult and rude, and we must have interacted with one at some point, as though it was some universal experience everyone has had.

The bystander effect extends beyond emergency situations. Sometimes people just freeze up and do nothing because they feel awkward or dont know how to respond. So the drunk guy going 'oh this is happening' and then just sitting there isnt so wild as far as human behavior goes

cant wait to spend time with our three dads

“I’m here with 2 huge embarrassments” well that also hit me personally-

I think saying OP willingly partook in the "event" isn't fair and puts more blame on him than it should. When someone doesn't fight back in the middle of being sexually assaulted, it doesn't mean they secretly wanted it, ESPECIALLY if they're drunk. So why would this be any different?

Honestly the orgy guy got screwed over imo, I mean if a bunch of people started having sex in front of you they are in the wrong as far as im concerned. Id say he was sexually harassed as opposed to the other way around and im surprised they didn’t agree.

Oh god, the Venmo one hits hard for me. All the venmos i've made to friends, i've jokingly written stuff like "for the cocaine", "weapons grade uranium", "40kg of heroin" and so forth. God i hope i don't have to be audited for whatever reason
