ojnbj | Anth741 | 1,326,742,099,000 | So I got pulled over on my way to work for fiddling with my iphone. Its apparently illegal to use a electronic device in a car... Cop pulls me over, and asks me to get out of the car.
He pats me down, and asks me to empty my pockets, which I do. He asks me about my 'hot plate' in my car, which is for my hookah. I explain it. He then asks if he can search my car. I've seen what cops do when you tell them they can search your car.. so I said "no, not without a warrant".
Of course he gets angry and says "you're seriously going to tell me I cant look through your car? You know I have a dog *points to his k9 patch on his shirt*, you can just tell me if there is anything in your car, but if my dog finds it it will be a felony".
I said no, there's nothing in my car, but you can't search it without a warrant. He then takes my phone ("for his own safety") tells me to sit on the hood of my car, facing the green exit sign and not turn around (or else!). Of course, I turn around to see him bend over in my passenger side door looking through my car (he threatens 'bad things will happen' if I turn around again), he pulls out my adderall from the passenger seat (prescribed) questions me on it. Gives me a hard time "why is my dog alerting to the passenger side of the car", I say "what dog? I don't see any dogs (I don't even think he had a dog in his car), and there is no reason that a dog would".
After continuously asking if I've done drugs ("never officer"), let anyone borrow my car ("nope"), been around drugs ("not to my knowledge, maybe someone at a party had some or something"), he finally let me back in my car. I apologized to him for stopping short after getting pulled over (he seemed pretty mad about that when I saw his lights and stopped quickly on the side of the road), and he said "**no problem, we got dogs for people like you who wont let us search their cars**" and smiled, hands me a ticket for using an electronic device, and leaves.
TLDR: Cop pulls me over, makes me sit on the hood of my car facing forward, takes my cell phone away, and Illegally searches my car after I told him he would need a warrant. Finally he hands me a ticket for using an electronic device.
This is some bullshit. I was very afraid he was going to plant something on me. Is there anything I can do reddit? This is clearly illegal. | AskReddit | jewish |

oiwv0 | nadel69 | 1,326,690,593,000 | The summer before 6th grade, my cousin and I watched Scary Movie 4. I went through the whole movie pretty much thinking "this sucks". That night, however, I couldn't sleep thinking of that Saw character. Up until my 9th grade year, I would be terrified of seeing his (it's?) face. Halloween was stressful for me, as I know the day where my mom would make me go find a costume would come, and most definitely would I see the face. Same with GameStop when the video game was released (less as it was near the end of my fears) 9th grade year it all thankfully went away. I just grew up.

oiv3x | torchdexto | 1,326,688,046,000 | i was on a trip somewhere once and i was sharing a room with my sister. i couldn't sleep, so i took some sleeping medication. i fell asleep with my laptop open with it up against my knees. so i fall asleep, and i guess i moved, because my laptop fell. on my face. so as you probably know its not really good to be woken up while on sleeping stuff.
i was hallucinating like a flamingo on drugs (which doesn't make much sense... I'm tired, shut up)
i was seeing basically what i was dreaming. and i was horrified of red dots. and our rooms TV's power button light was red. so i was crying pointing at it and my sister says now she was scared. but the thing i remember most clear from the real world was her with her new recorder asking me questions and recording my ridiculous answers. the next day she played them to our other family members. today she says she doesn't remember recording it... but i know.
TL;DR laptop woke me up after taking sleeping drugs, and i was scared of red dots and hallucinating. sister recorded it on a audio recorder and played it to family.

oiqv7 | Meow_Mixxx | 1,326,682,187,000 | So wifey is having back problems and being a side sleeper cant really find a comfortable way of sleeping on the current setup.
Right now we have a decent mattress ($600) and added a 2.5inch memory foam topper from costco.
Today we bought a Temper pedic Grand Bed for a whooping $6.5k. After trying the various options at the store the Grand Bed seemed the most comfy one. We have a 90 day trail period so its not a sunk investment.
I was wondering what are redditors experiences with tempur pedics, sleep number beds and whether you know or think that there are any other options that provide similar results but at a more reasonable price. I have spent the last several years sleeping on a $120 Ikea mattress topper put straight on the bed so the whole business of dropping half a down payment for a house on a mattress is a little wild and I am trying to reconcile the idea that it will pay off over the next 10-20 years. | AskReddit | jewish |

1. Can you lick your own elbow?
If so:
2. What is your gender?
3. Can you lick both elbows, or only one? Which one?
4. What is your handedness?
5. Can any of your family members also do this?
6. Do you have any special reasons why you might have this ability? Extra flexible due to yoga or connective tissue disorder?
7. Do you think your ability may be the first step in developing your latent mutant powers?

okygz | DesCo83 | 1,326,816,621,000 | I'm just curious because this strikes me as the kind of thing that people probably do very differently, but would just assume that everyone is the same (like the whole standing up when you wipe after shitting thing.). So, that said, when you're thinking about something, if we could hear the voices in your head, what would it sound like?
For me personally, I tend to think in terms of describing what I'm talking about to someone else. The (possibly) weird thing is, the other party is always changing. It tends to be whatever I've spent the most time with. So, if I go home for xmas, for a few days I'll think in terms of me telling things to my mother. If I spend a whole day fucking about on reddit, I think in terms of writing a comment. When I travel to Israel for work, my inner monologue suddenly starts speaking slower and using smaller words...

oksfa | roadbuzz | 1,326,805,670,000 | I am a 'not so frequent' visitor on reddit. I check the reddit frontpage maybe every 2 days. And only after many memes have risen to the top, I notice them in the decline or not at all. Reddit is simply too fast for me. I sometimes miss popular memes at all, I don't get the references and the inside jokes.
So I am proposing an option that would enable a slower reddit ordinals engine to order the position of posts. So that posts with many upvotes wont be overtaken so fast by newer posts but with less upvotes.
Reddit has taken on speed in the last couple of month, because the reddit community has grown exponentially. More posts are made, but too many posts cause an overflow for the less frequent redditors. The time variable in determining what position a post has should be valued lesser than the variable upvotes. So that basically memes don't disappear before I've even seen them.
I know that sounds very technically and my somewhat awkward words stems from my none English speaking background, but I hope that some redditor reads this post and thinks: *yea, reddit has become too fast / too slow recently. I'd like to change the ordinal engine to my reddit viewing freqency to improve my viewing experiences.*
Because not only less frequent redditors can gain from a customizable oridnal engine. Also more frequent viewers can change the speed in which new posts rise and decline.
If someone really followed my thoughts down to here, which I doubt, just think about it, do you like the speed in which the reddit front page is changing?
Edit: Maybe even someone who knows exactly how the reddit ordinal engine works reads this and who can tell if my idea is even viable.
**tl;dr: Reddits ordinal engine that sorts the positions of all the incoming posts should be made customizable, so that everybody can manage the speeds of new posts reaching the frontpage.** | AskReddit | jewish |

om3yn | Gorillaz_Inc | 1,326,869,138,000 | I remember when I was a kid growing up, before the internet became widely accessible, me and my peers used to love the allure of physically having a porn magazine such as Playboy, Hustler, etc. Even though nowadays the internet made the access to adult material easy, the prestige and allure of actually having a magazine never seemed to fade away for me. Call me old fashioned, but as a youngster nothing gets past physically enjoying the pictures and yes, the articles, followed by having trying to come up with a creative way to hide it in your room | AskReddit | jewish |

oltau | watersign | 1,326,854,625,000 | I used to have SUPER long hair, like jesus length long when I was 19-20 years old. Fast forward a few years, i'm 23, somewhat built (used to be really skinny) and I run my hair really low..like military buzz cut low..or skinhead low but i'm not bald. I like short hair, I get more chicks with it this way and it's easy to take care of.
My dad said I look like a weirdo and that i'm probably not doing myself a favor. He basically said I should keep some hair, and not go all commando.
So hiring managers of Reddit, if a clean cut male in his mid 20's were to come in for a job and had a low buzz cut..would you hold this against him? | AskReddit | jewish |

oo21f | Kiwispam84 | 1,327,017,480,000 | So, I was talking with a friend of mine the other day. He's a few decades older than me, and both of us are wheelchair users. He's usually pretty reserved, but he brought up something I've kept in mind- he mentioned that women (as well as men) are usually a little shy or awkward around men in wheelchairs. When a woman treats us with a normal amount of enthusiasm and charm, we sometimes mistake it for flirtiness or attraction.
So, my lovely Redditor ladies, my question to TL;DR it is, what signs should I look for that you're being flirty, and not just friendly? Bonus points if it's particular to a wheelchair user...! | AskReddit | jewish |
onzlu | joemarzen | 1,327,014,612,000 | I find that people get really upset about that because, perhaps, they want to diminish it just because its easier to do.
I guess reading refers to the specific of looking at words with your eyes. Nonetheless the information way conveyed.
I suspose I am just mad that people don't seem to respect having listened to a book as much as having eye-read it.
Personally I retain just as much if not more information if I listen to rather then read something. Aural transmission of information has been around a lot longer than written transmission of information from an evolutionary standpoint, so I think that makes a lot of sense. | AskReddit | jewish |
onz1n | joemarzen | 1,327,013,987,000 | If I printed "Of Mice and Men" on a scroll would you still call it a book? I think giving electronic books a different specific name is worthwhile for differentiation. It also might make people that hate the idea of using non-physical books feel better. I consider terms like "electronic book" or 'e-book" too wordy or awkward. Not that coining a word would ever work.
As a side question, when you have listened to an audiobook do you say to people that you read the book? I find that people get really upset about that because they want to diminish it because its easier to do. Personally I retain just as much if not more information if I listen to rather then read something.

onvkb | King_of_Ticks | 1,327,010,048,000 | In 2005 I was able to take my very first paid vacation. I was working at a company that basically caused the sub-prime mortgage crisis and needed a distraction from ruining people’s lives. My buddy and I choose to go to an island off the coast of California and live off the ocean for a week.
Our destination was Santa Cruz Island. It is part of the Channel Islands national park, but has very primitive accommodations (only convenience was some running water). We loaded our ocean kayaks, tents and meager food supplies (basically only some seasonings to put on our fish) and took a ferry to the island with plans for the ferry to return in one week.
We immediately started fishing and were able to catch one mackerel and two sanddabs. This would be all the fish we would be eating for the next 3 days, we just didn’t know it at the time. Come day three we are desperate and starving and heard about some excellent fishing on the other side of the island. We pack up our fishing gear and start paddling over. Now, this is not a small island either, it is about 100 sq miles (250 square km). So, the journey was considerable in our little kayaks.
We arrived at the fishing grounds and started catching a considerable amount of mackerel. We were about to call it quits when the wind and current picked up and was bringing us out into the shipping lanes at about 5mph. Just to stay in the same spot we needed to paddle at 5mph let alone try to close the ½ mile distance to the shore. By the time we reached the island we were completely exhausted (we have had maybe 500 calories in the last 3 days). After lying on the beach for a good hour trying to recover we realized we would never be able to paddle the journey back to camp against that current. Defeated, we decided to beach out kayaks and walk across the interior of the island to make it to camp. We of course did not bring shoes or a way to transport the fish. By the time we reached camp, the fish were bad, our feet were raw and our stomachs were empty. Oh, and our kayaks were still on the other side of the island.
Day four we trudged back to our kayaks and were blessed with calm seas. We paddled back to camp and caught two more sanddabs on the way. We cooked the little fish and collapsed in our tents. Day five I awake just before dawn and started walking to the beach in a hungry stupor. As I approach the beach I see a pig silhouetted against the morning sun and the ocean. I never believed the cartoons, but I started imagining all the wonderful things that come from pigs, bacon, pork chops, ham, and bacon.
Now a little background. This island used to belong to some farmers in the 50’s or something. The land was sold to the national parks department but the pigs were never dealt with. They became feral and would normally only come out at night.
Back to the story. I looked around and found a rock. This pig was food and the rock was my salvation. Of course in my mind I am thinking “you are terrible at throwing and even if by some miracle you hit the pig, you will do nothing but bruise it.” But despite my reservations I started the stalk. I crept within about 20 feet of the pig and brought my uncoordinated hand back to throw. This rock was filled with the pains of hunger and a touch of psychosis. I held my breath and let that sucker fly…
The rock landed about 10 feet away from the pig in a pile of rocks (being only 20 feet away, that must be one of the worst thrown rocks in existence). The pig heard the commotion and looked at me. I can only imagine that the pig found me as no more of a threat than a declawed kitten and it simply went about its business as if nothing had happened. Now I was pissed. I was freaking on top of the food chain and this piece of raw bacon would not even do me the consideration of running away. I picked up another rock. While the last rock was full of hunger and delusion, this one was full of enmity and spite (mixed with a heavy dose of hunger too). I let that rock of hatred soar towards my unholy enemy/lunch. It connected with the base of the pigs neck and breaks it. The pig dies instantly and falls over
I freeze in shock for at least one minute. When I come to my senses I approached the pig to make sure it is dead. As I get a closer look, I realize that I have made a huge mistake. This animal must be the most disease ridden thing on the planet. It also looks like [this](http://www.themediaconsortium.org/2011/02/11/weekly-mulch-monsantos-mutant-alfalfa-and-the-feral-pig-invasion/). Not only that, but I just killed an animal in a national park and the ranger would be making his rounds shortly. Even though I had barely eaten anything in 5 days, I left the pig to his fate. Turns out not even a month later the national park service brought in some professional hunters from New Zealand to [kill every last pig on the island](http://www.nps.gov/chis/parknews/feral-pig-eradication-begins-on-santa-cruz-island.htm).
Day 6, my buddy and I took a ferry back to the mainland. We went directly to Chipotle and ate ourselves sick on them fat burritos.
TL;DR Stranded myself on an island, starved half to death, murdered pig with rock

The Ellis Island directory seems to have no recollection of any of my family coming through those parts even though he always though they did go through there. There's lingering rumors within my family that my great grandfather changed his name and that theres a passport hidden somewhere in my grandma's house with the original name, but she denies it ever existing.

onmmq | secaedelcielo | 1,326,999,421,000 | Alright, I wrote "Americans" despite being one myself. I honestly see no harm in having programs utilize adult language. Come to think of it, just a little over a decade ago, it was a big deal to say "bitch" on television here, and now we hear "bitch" and "damn" and bleeped out "fuck"s all the time.
So what is it that *offends* so disparagingly? I can't wrap my head around the idea that [we're protecting any group's "innocence"](http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/modern-family-toddler-lily-2-drops-f-bomb-on-controversial-episode-2012191), considering that, in the real world, [nothing is censored](http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81219802/). But when scriptwriters congregate to produce a transcript for a show, they have to tip-toe around certainly phrasings and types of conversations. Somehow, as a society, we even occasionally find humor in actively avoiding cursing or discussing [things like sex](http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/10/did-glee-cross-the-line/). Dancing around these subjects makes for confusion, more than for perpetuating innocence.
So I don't get it. In other countries, they aren't so preoccupied with the idea of censorship. So what makes America so different? Or is it English-speaking countries, in general? | AskReddit | jewish |

oniel | firstcity_thirdcoast | 1,326,994,323,000 | I'm a 26-year-old guy opening a clothing store (online) that caters to a rather specific clientele: The bewildered man. That is to say, guys who have self-identified themselves as having no fashion sense, don't know where to start, and just need a basic, fundamental, and inexpensive upgrade to be a male in 2012. (You know who you are).
After reading hundreds of posts filled with basic style questions, confusion over the elements of a good "look," and even arguments over whether white sneakers are acceptable casual-wear, I've decided that we all could use some assistance.
I'm not arguing the premise of whether guys should have to worry about looking good, or fashionable, or stylish -- I'm just responding to that need and making it easy for everyone to get to a basic level of good-looking-ness. As Omar said, "It's all in the game, yo."
Target demographics:
* Fresh out of college and still wearing American Eagle or Abercrombie shirts you got in high school but trying to fit in in a professional environment?
* Foreveralone that needs some basic confidence to talk to that cute barista you've seen every day for the last 3 years and haven't yet spoken to?
* Just got out of a long-term relationship and want to get your dating game back in shape? You've deleted your lawyer and Facebooked a gym, but now you need some clothes for your new demeanor, because fuck that "honey-do" list.
