That’s so funny, what a specific behavior! I really do wonder to what degree we’re all just automatons behaving on the whims of our genes.
I love Obvious Plant
Did he speaka your language?
The weird thing is that it’s super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I’m betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).
Maybe I’m lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there’s an abundance of good potato salad here.
Yeah the Arch Deluxe was seriously amazing
This calls for a pastrami sandwich.
You got it, I’m a very firm believer in ‘different strokes for different folks’!
Understood, that used to bother me too. After a while people realized I was firm and laid off. Other than a few occasional passive-aggressive comments from my mom about how she doesn’t have grandchildren, nobody really says anything anymore.
Edit: whoops, that posted 3 times!

I’m glad it worked out well for you! :)
I hear ya, but I don’t mind - it’s a discussion thread, after all! - and it’s interesting to see a different perspective than my own.
I can’t decide if I love or hate this idea.
All I can offer is sympathy. You’re not alone - we all make this mistake exactly once in life. Never again!
I’m 42 and have known since I was 4 years old that I never wanted to be a mother. It’s seriously one of my earliest memories - I didn’t want to make my bed, my mother was exasperated with me and said “you’ll be sad you treated me so badly when you have kids of your own”… and I remember being just appalled at the thought of being a parent.
I just don’t enjoy children. I like peace, quiet, and order, and the freedom to do what I want without having to factor in children. Plus it looks super stressful to be a parent. I have 2 nephews and a niece, and while they’re good kids, their parents always look so utterly exhausted and overwhelmed. And I’m definitely not good at being an aunt - interacting with children just doesn’t come naturally to me.
Everyone told me I’d grow out of it. I had to fight to get my tubes tied in my mid-twenties (for real, I had to see so many doctors and had a botched Essure procedure at Planned Parenthood before I finally found an OBGYN who would take me seriously!).
No regrets rugrats!
Thank you! Tisanes are not tea. I will die on this hill.
That’s the spirit!
On the plus side, your son will likely have an amazing pension. His retirement is probably more guaranteed than yours!
I grew up with cats, so my default is under.
