Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I'm a "goddess among mortals" for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I'm an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn't seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don't mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I'd choose...I dunno, german chocolate or something.
Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. Itâs just mean.
I'm not even sure what that could mean. Maybe using chopsticks instead of a fork? I've always just eaten food with whatever utensil is typically used for that type of cuisine. I think most people, Chinese or otherwise, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, don't they?
I think it was that I had picked up the takeout container close to my face and was using the chopsticks to shovel rice into my maw as I watched some video.
Based on the post context it probably came across either as a backhanded or possibly with a racist sounding context. Like a woman being told she can use a wrench like a man comes across as sexist.
A ton of people in the US eat nearly every type of food with a fork, spoon, or knife. I have to go out of my way to ask for chopsticks most of the time, and most of the people I see eating at other tables are using forks.
I keep meaning to make sticky rice at some point. I also tend to eat rice with chopsticks at Chinese restaurants, but anywhere else the rice is too loose
My female colleague told me the other day I'd make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.
I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal.
So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was... special.
Yeah I got "wow, I could hit that by throwing a dart from across the room!" I am a favorite of phlebotomists, and I guess could be a successful junkie.
I don't know how weird it is but I've been told a few times that I have a "calming presence". It's a very nice compliment, just don't understand why or how.
Compared to pretty much every other response, this is real bland, but I recently had a librarian at the community college I attend tell me something like how my name is a nice name.
It's not a special name in any way, just a run-of-the-mill Biblical name tons of people have. For obvious reasons, I won't tell what it is, but this is the first time I've ever gotten a compliment about my name.
I was once told that I âlook like Iâm going to ask someone to the Sadie Hopkins danceâ. I assume they just meant I looked nice/dressed up, but it just struck me as interesting phrasing. Random people just tend to talk to me; a couple weeks ago I was at the gas station and an older guy struck up a conversation and commented that it was nice to see someone smile ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Sounds like they may have been referring to the "Sadie Hawkins dance" which is a middle school highschool dance where the girls ask the guys to be their date. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Hawkins_dance
there was a comment thread where there was something along the lines of "when my roommate peed you could HEAR how his urethra was wider than a normal person" and I don't know how to feel about it
