“My dad refused to use hand lotion for a while, and he kept getting big cracks in his knuckles. The cold would destroy his skin. He would only put lotion on when it was basically bleeding, by which point it can’t really do much help.” —u/PM_CACTUS_PICS “A guard at my work was wearing a special vest last weekend, and I told him he looked really nice, and the other guard was like, ‘Yeah, Peter, you look really nice today!’ The smile on that dude’s face will bring me joy forever.” —u/sqinky96 “They get weirded out by that. I’m a guy and I can say a simple compliment, like, ‘I like your name,’ and there will be a long, awkward silence; then, they say thank you. It’s like they take it the wrong way and think something else about it since they were conditioned to think like that.” —u/Far-Reputation7119 —u/Fodagus
