    I’m in Canada and my issue is every machine wants you to tap somewhere different. They all have a label somewhere indicating where to tap, but sometimes it’s on a screen, sometimes a sticker somewhere, sometimes a handwritten note next to the machine… and there are so many other signs and stickers all over the place that I often don’t spot the right one right away, so it takes me a couple of tries. Other than that it’s very easy.

    But the cashiers always look at you judgingly like “why don’t you know how to do this basic thing?? It has the little logo RIGHT THERE beside these other 6 flashier logos.” Or at least in mind that what they’re thinking lol




  • I’m a woman and my first IUD insertion really didn’t hurt me very much. Uncomfortable, but quick and not too bad.

    But when my friends complained about the pain during theirs, I believed them. Because we are all different people with wildly different bodies. I have empathy.

    It’s not a difficult concept, but I think a lot of people struggle with it. “It was fine for me so anyone who complaints is making it up!”

    Anyway, when I went to get my IUD replaced, the second insertion was absolute hell, so now I really get it. But I didn’t need to go through it myself to believe people when they say they experience pain. There’s so much evidence out there indicating that women experience pain. Is it really so hard to just believe the evidence?




  • Acting like he hates the snuggles but doing nothing to get away, then looking obviously disappointed when I stop.

    Cuddling up against me while I’m distracted so when I look beside me there’s a surprise cat there I can pet.

    Hurrying me up to give him food, but once the food is served he comes up to me to give me a quick petting opportunity before he digs in. It’s my reward for feeding, him I guess. If I don’t take the chance to pet him, he won’t wait for me, so I need to act fast!
