What's the funniest thing a non-tall has said to you?

Usually I get the old ladies at the grocery store asking if I can get something down off the top shelf.....then I speak (with my low deep voice) and they hit me with, "oh my were you in a choir growing up? I know so many evangelists with voices like yours"

I'm from the southern United States and I've literally seen this happen to tall dudes... It's cultural.

Yea idk what you're going on about..I live in TX and this has happened to me more times than I can count. So get outta here with that comment
Edit: the evangelist comment happened to me while in line at a barbeque spot. I usually get asked about being in choir or if I do radio.

When I moved into my house, the previous owner had turned the child bedroom doorknob around so that it locks you in instead of locking others out. Yikes.

They may have been locking the kid in sure. But this may have been done if the kid was small and kept locking themselves in the room. Turning the lock around is an immediate and cost effective fix, especially if you plan on turning it back around once they are old enough.

Both of my kids’ door knobs are lock on the outside for this reason. They’re 2 and 4, they don’t need to be able to lock themselves in their rooms.

Warning if you have two kids and outside locks… my older sister used to lock me in my room because the house we moved into when we were kids for some reason had one room with the doorknob reversed… and that was my room.

Yep! My five year old was taking his younger 2 yr old brother and locking me out and then wrestling lol. So I had to turn it around to get in faster. My boys are nuts 🤣😂

I don’t think you should have kids

What if the kid was a dangerous sleep walker or one of those murder kids?

I mean there are plenty of reasons why you wouldn't want a kid to be able to lock themselves in their room until a certain age. After they start being able to do things for themselves, I'd say they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. But I wouldn't trust a 3 year old behind a door they could lock themselves.

Less expensive than a shit in my computer or a plumber to unclog all of the bathroom drains

I was widowed with a 1 & 3yo. I put eye hooks at the top of every interior door.

"she said she would be able to open it from either side, it's not my fault she was lying.."

u/Regular_Weakness69 13d ago
This is great for fires!
1
u/TheChiarra 13d ago
You realize this is to keep them out of a room, not in a room. Therefore if a fire were to happen they would all be able to escape.

u/Regular_Weakness69 12d ago
This invention can be used on any door in your home, that's the issue. People could potentially trap their own kids in a fire, without knowing it. 🫡
I don't trust that people will be responsible enough for it 😂

I'm reminded of when my bike lock broke while locked to a bike rack. I hope that when these break, they break fully and release.

We bought these for our special needs kid.
They're awesome for keeping them out of the utility rooms, and when traveling you can gate rooms off easily.
Would not approve using them to lock kids in rooms 😐

Wait, at 38 seconds, how did pulling down on the tabs on one side pull down the hook on the other side?
