Experiences are always good. Couples massage, dinner at a nice restaurant, go to a theatre, go hiking somewhere special, go to a class together for an activity you can do as a couple, buy a game you can play together, hire a cleaner to come clean your house while you go out for a beach day together, go to a wine tasting, do an escape room, take a tour of somewhere you've never visited, etc. The most important aspect of the anniversary gift imo is that it should involve spending time together.

My dad does this almost every single time we talk. Ignoring him doesn't work, correcting him doesn't work, he'll just not acknowledge I've said anything if he doesn't like what it is.

If the issue is important enough to correct him on, I have my husband repeat what I'm saying. That seems to work. The words need to be attached to a penis in order to be understood.

This also works in other contexts. If I'm ever too exhausted to take on someone like that head on or they just refuse to listen to me, the only real solution I've found is to have another penis holder make my point for me. Some people will not budge no matter how clearly out of their depth they are, unless someone they respect is talking.

I'm in Canada and my issue is every machine wants you to tap somewhere different. They all have a label somewhere indicating where to tap, but sometimes it's on a screen, sometimes a sticker somewhere, sometimes a handwritten note next to the machine... and there are so many other signs and stickers all over the place that I often don't spot the right one right away, so it takes me a couple of tries. Other than that it's very easy.

But the cashiers always look at you judgingly like "why don't you know how to do this basic thing?? It has the little logo RIGHT THERE beside these other 6 flashier logos." Or at least in mind that what they're thinking lol

I ate too many cheese biscuits for dinner and nowy tummy is kinda upset so I don't want to have a full Sunday brekkie despite looking forward to it all week. :(

The number of times my butt was grabbed, spanked, etc. by complete strangers any time I was out alone. And I don't even mean as a teenager. I fully remember this happening when I was walking home from school in grade 1. It just seemed so normal even then. The adults know what they're doing, and they're just being playful, right?

I loved it at the time too! But you're the first other person I've seen praise it.

I've gone back to replay it a couple of times and, yep, still love it. The story has its flaws but that's final fantasy for you.

Jim Carrey anytime he does comedy.

This is less of a specific good and more of a trend, but middle class people are more likely to buy bulk goods. Lower classes often don't have the means to do so (space to store it and money to buy it, or access to places that sell in bulk) and higher classes simply don't need to, or they buy luxury items that wouldn't be sold in bulk.

Similarly, middle class people are less likely to shop at places with high markups, such as convenience stores.

The times when people shop would also see trends, with lower and higher classes doing more shopping midday on a Tuesday and middle class working people with average 9-5 office jobs being unable to do so.

Yes, you are the odd one. Ads are literally designed to be difficult to ignore.

Therapy is also supposed to be confidential but exceptions are made when someone is in danger.

There's another possible scenario of a child making the confession because they're feeling guilty about the sexual act despite being a victim.
