On the last one: I was stationed in Iceland... I lived in the barracks with a roommate and a communal bathroom down the hall. My friend said she could fix me up with a guy (a friend of her boyfriend) that lived in the Senior NCO barracks. They had their own sizable rooms with an attached bathroom. Yes, I went out with a guy because he had a private bath with a tub. We were married over 30 yrs before he passed.
5:19 This would be such a great “meet cute” scene in a movie: both people on the date recognize the old man is lonely, and don’t mind talking to him for a while before politely leaving. The couple would fall in love realizing they’re both compassionate, empathetic people.
On leaving the pub I picked up our empty glasses and left them on the end of the bar we walked past to leave. She got antsy because that’s what the workers are for. 👋
I grew up in the 1950s and I can assure you, that NO! people did not swear back then. At least not in public. Maybe in private, but not in public. In fact, people treated you very harshly just for using euphemisms.
1960s baby here and still not, damn, hell, shit once in a very blue moon but not in front of your mother, pastor, grandmother/father and never, never, never out in public.
Born in the early sixties here, came of age in the late seventies, and in my day, as I’m sure was also the case earlier, probably since time immemorial, language was used in a contextually specific way, and expletives which would be freely bandied about in certain social groupings would never even be referred to euphemistically in other settings, even if many of the same people happened to be in both groups. The demographics of the baby boom youth culture which developed in the sixties alongside the civil rights movement probably exacerbated the tendency to speak different dialects in different settings, and eventually, as the boomers aged, almost flipped the script on profanity, but language was always used differently by working class people (think about sailors or longshoreman for instance) than by those who styled themselves as socially superior. Going back to the origins of English, if you think about it, most of our cuss words are short four letter Anglo Saxon expressions, and the more socially acceptable terms for the body parts, activities, or functions involved are Latinate words of French derivation because, after the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the Anglo Saxons were subjugated by the Norman French.
We had a “ fake Jesus religious group come through in the 70’s, targeting older teen and early twenties for their fantastic youth group, had kids pay for their curriculum, seemed legitimate at first, red flags like ,no guests or parents or siblings, doors locked,really unsettling behavior coming out of these kids, they religiously and debauchedly attacked every church and religion using the words Jesus and God, it’s weird they had those ridiculous tracts instead of a tip, they were only there for a couple weeks when parents alerted the police, by then the hostility and confusion in these kids,like they’d been mind washed,isolated in there with that stinking thinking, glad you gave that lady a tip, throw those things away and pray for healing for whoever they came from! Everybody hold steady!❤
debauched- indulging in or characterized by excessive indulgence in sex, alcohol, or drugs. "a debauched lifestyle" . I think you mean a different word
For the, can you cook question, I'd be sorely tempted to say yes, can't you? (This is not a jab at people who struggle, just at those who won't learn or try and have this expectation it should always be provided as part of dating/being with them)
You are assuming he asked because he expected her to cook. Maybe he was just interested in something she might like to do or maybe he was a good cook and was looking for something to connect with. It was a simple innocent question but her irrational feminism got the best of her.
@@kevinwebster7868 maybe he wasn't expecting that, I guess it was more that she said the rest of the date was just as awful so inferring he didn't try to explain or his explanation was just awful, as were other attempts to get to know each other. (I don't know about her last experience but I know mine is why I went to the feeling like it would be an expectation)
@kevinwebster7868 I suspect the feminism was very rational indeed. I think you can tell from someone's tone why they're asking, and if you can't tell, you can ask. These vignettes are too short to provide all of the backup for why she concluded it was sexism, but that doesn't mean it wasn't.
I also grew up in the 50's and I never heard that word until I was in my mind-twenties! Very little cursing in the 50's. Your grandparents were WAY ahead of their times.
Redheads (I am one) _always_ get asked if the carpets match the drapes. I don’t know why people think that’s okay to say to other people but they do. Unbelievable.
@@ecamp6360worse than that, imagine thinking a video collecting the worst stories is somehow representative of an entire country. I mean, there are *plenty* of reasons not to move to the U.S.★, but Xitter/Reddit stories aren't among them. ★ or any country.

You made a great choice then.

What a great outlook.
Cows have beautiful eyes. That's a compliment and a very sweet one
"Does the carpet match the drapes?" Actually I have hardwood floors.
2:34 that is a compliment, cows especially jerseys are known for having large clear brown eyes. would you prefer he says you have puppy dog eyes.
Was he from India?
Prolly should just say 'beautiful eyes' and leave it at that.

I do the same.
Wait: so all those times friends brought over their laundry were DATES?! I had no idea!
3:10 "Servant! The cat doesn't just clean itself!" "Don't... cats just clean themselves?"
with some cats , it's definitely a two person job, at least if you want to avoid a trip to the emergency department.
😄😄😄😄 If he asked me if the "carpet" matched, I would have thought he was talking about my home decorations! Geez.
I got that all the time as a redhead. Now that I have white hair and am over 50, I'm invisible! LOL!! (Do NOT miss that rude question at all!)
With some of these "people" it's amazing mankind still exists 🤦

I was born in the late fifties, am female, and learned to cuss from my preacher dad. Admittedly, I didn't do it very much.
My parents, both boomers, never swear. They use euphemisms like 'sugar' and 'flipping heck'
For most of these, I'll take "My Standards Are Too High" for 500, Alex.

I have to say, I've never understood _why_ anyone would care.
Or do they think the question is clever?
blonde- same
@@larrywest42 not clever, it's a teenage male 'smart' question.
It's because with redheads there is often a mismatch.
1:04 that pretty much screams he is not into you.
1:35, as a female I say run away, run far away from her.
the old "sorta married"........
I had a jod offer in the US once. So glad I didn't accept it.
We are too. The "d" key isn't even near the "b" key.

There are people like this all over. You can't particularly tell where most of these stories are from, except the ones that mention tips.
