I'll start. In my family, no one can get away with grammatical or spelling misstakes.

Not saying I'm from a conservative Muslim family with extreme emphasis on shame but if anyone knew I date people my head would be mounted on a pole

Ah man. I grew up in an Evangelical Christian family, specifically Independent Fundamental Baptist. The most conservative of conservative Christians. The kind of Baptists who think Southern Baptists are "liberal". I remember when I had my first girlfriend in High school and my parents thought I might maybe possibly have had sex one time. I had not. At least not at that point. They Flipped. Their. Shit.

Can't tell if the spelling misstakes are engagement bait or just a sad irony.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

It's bait of course.

Treating mental health issues, because they apparently don't exist.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Work.

Grew up on a tobacco farm, didn't matter what was going on, if there was work it had to be done.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Dang, are you guys like old world royalty, and wealthy as fuck?

Not taking shoes off at the door

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Same here. No one wears shoes in the house.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Eating the last one of any snack.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nobody. The last one must remain on the plate. Anyone who goes for it gets admonished.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

No one, until supplies are replenished. Once there's more than one it's fair game again.

Having dreams or being understood.

My family is pretty chill. I can do pretty much whatever.

Fucker. Keep your hands off my poop knife.

Wasting food. Even if it was just a bit of rice left over, I'd be told "someone worked hard picking that rice" so I'd eat it. Even now, whenever I eat food I make sure to cherish it and eat every last bit of it! 😋

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've worked in a rice field, it's hard back breaking work. So next time you eat some rice you better think of me motherfucker. ;)

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I will! I will enjoy it more knowing how much hard work was put into it! 🍚

I’ll often leave food because I’m full. I’m conscious to not eat more than I need.

In this vain, why should the rice farmer and me both suffer?

I’ve watched a friend stuff himself for years with stupid portions of food and now he has gout and is an unhealthy weight, likely to be a burden on our NHS in later life, causing further suffering to many more people.
