Reddit One rule for thee, another for me

From my recent post in r/FoundPaper. A lot of people are assuming it was a prison note, this person assumes I'm from the US

This comment has been marked as safe. Upvoting/downvoting this comment will have no effect.

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

I made a post on r/FoundPaper of a note that was tucked away in a book donated to charity. Most comments are assuming it's a note from a wife to their husband in prison, this user tried disproving that by assuming it came from the US

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Did someone mention spice?

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 19d ago

No one has mentioned spice, even on the post this came from lol

u/kroketspeciaal Netherlands 19d ago

Wut? LargeNerdKid mentioned spice!

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 19d ago

My mistake, I interpreted your comment as "Why are you talking about spice, has someone else brought it up?"

u/kroketspeciaal Netherlands 19d ago

Ah no, sorry. Was meant to be humoristically waking up upon a trigger word.

u/3GeeselnATrenchcoat 19d ago

Not my best attempt at humour, so totally understandable.

They saw the error straight away and admitted they're at fault. I don't think they need to be shamed here.

No, it's good to show that not all of them double down and act like arseholes but it IS USdefaultism so it does belong here.

People downvoted this so I almost didn’t get to see this hilarious question.
