My dad was my swim team coach when I was in middle school. One day we're out shopping, and this fourteen-year-old girl out with her boyfriend spots him and calls out a greeting. They talk for a minute, and then Dad realized who she was. "Oh wow, hi Girl! I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!" ...Because she was on the swim team with me.

In defense of the DMV client (who was awesome)-She was asked to identify signs based on their SHAPES. No writing, no context. That is challenging! I’m very happy that she got through it and I’m not concerned that this struggle would in any way endanger me if she and I ever share the road. She strikes me as someone who is more than competent at everything she does. And the “call me a good girl” gal was HILARIOUS. I want to get coffee with her. I, too, am someone who (tries to) use humor to deflect awkward situations. . . Thereby sometimes increasing the situational awkwardness.

[@OnePoetWanderer]

Yeah. For someone who can't read, knowing a sign by the shape is important, but otherwise not that essential. (Which is probably why the DMV lady coached her because she knew denying the license would be silly.)

[@omegatired]

back when I took my original driving test, the instructor showed me a sign in the booklet, shape, and asked what it was. I identified it correctly ... apparently, I'd checked the wrong answer on the test and he was fairly sure I knew better. Passed and the driving test as well. Not looking forward to the yearly renewal thing in 7 years ...

[@SPeeSimon]

Come to Europe. Hardly any sign here with text. Just see some here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_European_road_signs#Table_of_traffic_signs_comparison If you don't know the meaning of most of them, then you should be considered a hazard on the road and should not drive and retake the exam. Getting your license here is more difficult and requires a test on the rules/law and a driving skill test. (But there is no test if you renew your license, so you'll only need to know this once.)

[@JREwing78]

I consider myself a "roadgeek" - I was literally pissed off when I got a question wrong on the written driver's exam and couldn't claim a perfect score. The yellow sign SHAPES, with no other markings on them for context? That's an asinine thing to pop-quiz people on.

[@it.comes.around]

@@SPeeSimonI think they mean they had no symbols on them, just the shape, but I could be wrong. Most signs have symbols here, and we need to know the whole thing, so it’s odd that they make it a ‘guess that Pokémon” game when it would only be the shape and color and no symbols.

[@spectilia]

For the confusion on the DMV: if you let your license EXPIRE, as the lady in the video did, yes, you have to redo some, if not ALL of the original drivers test (whatever that might be for your given region). If you are only renewing (which you have to do BEFORE the expiration date), then I think you just have to pass a vision test, if that. Probably gonna vary somewhat by state, but Charlotte was so confused by what was happening and I just wanted to expain, in case anyone else was as well. Edit for spelling. Edit #2: Some comments have informed me that changing states (or provinces) may necessitate retaking part or all of the written exam as well. So, idk which one was at fault here (maybe both). I have never moved states before, so had no clue. The more you know!

You want to think helping your kids wash stops at 3 but according to the healthcare places I’ve worked the answer is 3-5 to stop physically washing them, 9-12 to stop light supervision, and for some ppl apparently 37 to fully stop checking.

[@melissakondek6370]

Wow!! I’m a girl mom and once they were 3/4y I taught them step by step how to wash in the actual bathtub. I fully supervised to make sure they had it down and were safe..they sometimes still needed help w/ their hair, but by 6y or 7y they were all able to graduate to the shower and do everything themselves. However I was nearby to ask” did you remember to wash this, did you make sure to do that?” Light supervision.. (and I def inspected the hair a bit to make sure😉 lol) Plus they loved me blow drying their hair and combing and/ or braiding it after they got in their pj’s right before bed so they could have “curls” for school the next day lol. I’m so out of my depth w/ imagining a mother supervising washing her son in a bathtub beyond 6y max, and light supervision near the shower after that. I would think they’d still need you close by. Unless they have a disability ofc. Or maybe if they come from a situation where they were never originally taught at all..

Signs are usually easier to read with context. Road construction, school zone, twisting road ahead, bridge closed, merging traffic, deer crossing, etc can be guessed at just by looking at the environment that you're in. Without context, it could be harder.

Exactly what I was thinking. Without words, symbols, or context it would be hard to identify some signs just by shape and color.

For the DMV; She had her license for many years. She moved, and it had expired in the meantime. When you switch states or it fully expires, depending on where you are in the states, you'll have to re-test. The signs are also only blank colored shapes, not the actual images on the signs we see every day. I'm in for this soon and nervous about passing even though I've had a license for over 21 years. 😆

[@alimaloney218]

I had a male gyno who was testing/treating me before my total hysterectomy. (I’d had a period for over a year.) After a bad Pap smear results I had to get a series of biopsies from my cervix (so completely painful, no pain control given.) My first results came back as precancerous, hypoplasia without atypia, and I was told I would need a complete hysterectomy. They wanted it done ASAP, but I was working 1:1 as a nurse and it was nearing the end of the school year. We agreed I could wait til classes were over so my student didn’t miss class (her mom would only send her with me) They had me taking frequent progesterone injections and I needed to return every couple weeks for repeat biopsies. On my next biopsy I commented how incredibly painful these were. The doc laughed it off and said he’d see me back in a couple weeks for the next one, at which point I suggested that he climb up with his feet in the stirrups and I’ll handle the speculum and take a biopsy from HIM! His jaw dropped, all the nurses had a great laugh. Luckily I only needed one more biopsy before we scheduled the hysterectomy, getting everything out before it turned cancerous.

[@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678]

Sorry you went through that Yes they ignore the fact that it is extremely painful You can continue bleeding etc It is such a horrific situation the way they treat women today in gynecology I just do not understand it but I do I had PCOS public inflammatory disease is a virgin got told by the guy know that well we only see this in Navy wives or sleep around or prostitutes 😮 turned out I kept popping ovarian cysts which would cause the infection I would end up in the emergency room because I was bent over double with infection the cysts are painful yeah etc I had endometriosis just all kinds of stuff and my insurance company sends me a letter saying if I go to the emergency room again they won't pay for it at the time they didn't have urgent cares like they do today My gyno turns around when I'm only 21 years old and says you'll never have children well he was right about that but he was wrong for the reason why turned out I had an extremely rare blood type only 2% of the population and they now know that unless I'd married a guy who had the same exact but type nah women like me can't get pregnant My dad was the one who had that blood type and my mom luckily was a person who could carry his children for him but none of us girls had kids who inherited his blood type.

I said for people to turn left. she said no it's for pedestrians. I was very surprised and she confirmed that it can be different in certain provinces etc...

Yessss! I'm a grocery cashier, and we still have our covid system implemented, where people are supposed to wait in a main queue until the computer calls them to the open lane number. It's actually designed to get people through to the fastest open lane, as well as giving people personal space. Thus, we also got rid of the divider sticks for people to designate the end of one order and the next person's groceries, because since its one-at-a-time, we dont need them. It amazes me though, how many people will straight up ignore the huge signs and computer cues and will just barge ahead to whatever lane they THINK should be fastest. Then, they interrupt me serving the customer in front of them, to demand a divider stick (which we don't even have, and haven't for 3 years now), only to then get rude and nasty that we don't have them. Yet, they'll proceed to unload their groceries onto the belt, while I'm still ringing up the other person's groceries on the belt, and THEN get antsy when they think I am going to scan one of their items on accident. I get a lot of people who will be so impatient that they start crowding out the person in front of them, who is still trying to pay, demanding my attention, when it's not even their turn yet! Like, the audacity! Lol! I've had to ask several people to give the first customer space, for entering PIN numbers, making out checks, whatever and they get so pressed! Not to mention when they start demanding my attention when it's not yet their turn, I'm still conversing with the customer in front of them, and I have to politely say "I'll be with you as soon as I'm finished with this person's order." It happens at least once per shift! And although I remain polite, they get so pressed and sometimes aggressive! 😮😂

"Boy moms, y'all really gotta let go!" I'm so glad my MIL realized this. Pretty late but earlier then some. She told me she was still dressing her youngest son (of 3) when he was 7 years old. One day she was putting his socks on for him and just kind of had an epiphany that he was way too old for her to be doing that. Granted she'd lost her husband to depression only a couple years before but that is never an excuse to treat your children like they are babies when they are not. It's also not an excuse to treat them like your partner or best friend.

I actually shuddered hearing about the bath tub. I could see partners doing a mutual scrubbing time where they each wash each other's hair and do cute things like wash behind their ears, but this is royally beyond messed-up. Nothing wrong with having a platonic soulmate connection with a mother, but this? HELL NO.

[@yoyohayli]

Yeah, bathing partners is super romantic, but adult child being washed by parent is just so odd to me. I suppose if they're used to it and it's a bonding thing, that's not the worst thing in the world, it's just very unusual and squicky to me.

[@Andiethehedgehog24]

No, yeah, it gave me weird like dependency issues like the mother doesn’t think the son is capable of even cleaning himself. Regardless, it’s a red flag

My husband and I shower together often and use the time to talk in private from our teens lmao 😂

My OBGYN once told me I had a "beautiful meaty cervix" and I said "omg thank you, i wish my bf would say that to me" We both laughed, she was female.

[@kristipearce4819]

How are all you people so funny?!?’ I’m crying laughing at all of these!!!😂😂

[@OmniscientlyMe]

I mean, have you told him he has beautiful meaty man parts? Compliments can go both ways, you know.

[@AileaCara]

Lol. Yeeees. My first OBGYN told me I had the prettiest uterus he's ever seen. Like ... yay me. I guess I really am pretty on the inside.

[@berit5435]

mine told me i have very active ovaries, so I should be careful. followed by 'oh never mind, you don't have sex anyway, right?' (she knows I'm very single). roasted by my own obgyn...

Wow, did that first story go over Charlotte's head! 😂🤦‍♀️😂 She was being a smartass and telling others to do the same.

[@LordPegasusBudda]

I have been called a mummy's boy for years .... but that is FAR too much lol, I am uncomfortable when my mum needs help to get out of the bath ( bad knees and hips so sometimes needs help ), I do it as its helping my mum while keeping my eyes away from EVERYTHING lol

[@sylviajones6745]

Thank you for being a good son.😊

[@noth1ng5id]

During this time of year you can often find towel wrappers that have elastic and Velcro on one side to secure it like when you wrap it around yourself but more secure. Maybe something like that would help both of you be more comfortable in the future. 🤟🏻💙 That's not being a Mama's boy that's being a decent human being. Eventually our parents can become as helpless in their age as we were as babies. Seems only right to give them love and care also.

[@loredell]

I do that for my boys (7 and 10), I help them out (high bathtub rim) but I have th towel open and see them neck up. They are "it's ok mom" and I'm like "I know I'm your mom, but if I don't need to (you tell me about a rash or something) you have your privacy"

[@sherriscook3674]

I am a 65 yr old and sometimes have trouble getting up on my own…I will say if this happens at bath time I am TOTALLY APPALLED!!! But that said my son is a good man who loves his Mom in spite of this…😂😂😂🌊

[@LordPegasusBudda]

@@sherriscook3674 that sounds a bit like me, my mother will be 55 this year and although I don’t live with her anymore and I believe she has a walk in shower with a chair available now, if I was in her home and she needed help, as much as I would still not want to see my mum naked, I would still help her as she is extremely important to me and I want her to be safe rather than her try and do something that could cause her to hurt herself.
