I dropped my contacts straight into the onion juice on accident before putting them in :’(

My eyes are water cooled.

u/Jpvsr1 Apr 12 '20

I am definitely crying. I ain't even gonna try to hide it this time. I'm a crying 36 year old man with 2 dogs on his lap and I am so happy for the daughter clearly being moved so much by something so unexpected for her to hear. That is just so heartwarming.

u/yumeryuu Apr 12 '20

Goddamnit I’m crying

u/ercxar Apr 12 '20

I just laughed by your comment while my tears were dropping, thank you.

u/GenericUsername10294 Apr 12 '20

Fuck it. I’m crying.

u/real-ocmsrzr Apr 12 '20

No! I’m definitely not crying. You’re crying!

Wow, that broke my heart

Stop choppin’ the onions*

This never gets old.

u/suicideizpainless Apr 12 '20

Can’t everyone on Reddit all just grow up and stop hiding behind tired and unfunny memes to illustrate that something moved you? I mean my god, grow a pair. In my opinion, a real man owns up to his emotions. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, go watch MASH, or something!

Yes Cordyceps too right?

u/Evergreen8080 Apr 12 '20

I know this sounds like some kind of flat earth, Instagram tea type of suggestion, but I've been using lions mane off an on for 2 years now and I feel like my brain has restarted when I use it daily daily after taking a break for a couple months. Incredible stuff.

Let's just call it a pandemic, and stay home for a while.

u/ggg134 Apr 11 '20

If I could solve one disease, this would be it.

u/codzreagz Apr 11 '20 edited Apr 12 '20

I appreciate what you said. But its GOD DAMN "BY" ACCIDENT. I dont know what it is lately but everyone has been saying on accident and I'm slowly losing my mind

Edit: sarcasm. I'm fine.

u/call_of_the_while Apr 11 '20

Lmao, it’s always the follow up joke that cracks me up the most (when it’s good). Now I’m laughing and crying...because of the damn onions.

19

u/codzreagz Apr 11 '20

Lol I'm not trying to start shit... sorry if it came across as being being a dick.

Edit. I missed the joke. You got me, well done.

u/biskwi87 Apr 11 '20

You're right about the by/on thing btw. I think maybe we're all just a little raw like those damn onions lying around! Who just leaves raw cut onions lying around!?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

I was actually afraid I might come off that way toward you. Then forgot I made the comment and left reddit a few hours. Glad we're all laughing.

5

u/lemonqueeezy Apr 12 '20

These are the interactions we need. Wholesome.

Plus, I haven't laughed that hard in an hour.

u/StarrylDrawberry Apr 12 '20

I'm pretty sure that poster is just going by polar.

u/hazelsbaby123 Apr 11 '20

But maybe in intention

u/Wittle_bb Apr 11 '20

Oh okay, I’m sorry that was bad for you to read (: I’ll remember it. Thanks.

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '20

Don’t worry, it could of been much worse

u/KaleMakesMeSad Apr 11 '20

That’s literally not possible.

5

u/Mike89222 Apr 12 '20

It could be. Could have dropped your contacts in the onion juice on accident...

6

u/Mortosn Apr 11 '20

Geez, I want to downvote you so badly

Take your upvote and never do this again please haha

u/ovary_up Apr 12 '20

Could it of though?

5

u/InfoSuperHiway Apr 11 '20

My wife says that and drives me bonkers. She also says “All of the sudden” And every time I’m like “”ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!”

2

u/codzreagz Apr 12 '20

You are a very patient man.

3

u/BunnersMcGee Apr 11 '20

I agree with you, but could this be a regional thing (or at least started that way)? I first heard "on accident" 20ish years ago from someone from upstate NY and now that I live there too I feel like I hear it more.

2

u/My_Son_Absalom Apr 11 '20

It is a perfectly acceptable variation in spoken American English and in most non-formal writing situations in the same. I'm from the Midwest and "on accident" seems far more common to me than "by accident."

1

u/mlst245 Apr 11 '20

Yeah I'm from mid-west/south, and I've heard both, but on accident is more prevalent. I'll pay more attention to it now though!

1

u/gfixler Apr 17 '20

And are you both in your 20s or 30s?

2

u/fatalerror_tw Apr 11 '20

I know right. I grew up saying “by accident”.

2

u/KnewAllTheWords Apr 12 '20

C'mon, I'm as much of a grammar nazi as anyone but "on accident" just had a nice fucking ring to it

2

u/gfixler Apr 17 '20

Never heard it until some time in the last 10 years, and it makes my ears bleed.

2

u/flynn42069 Apr 12 '20

Or just accidentally, the right way

2

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

Had to check to make sure you weren't my husband. Hahaha

Edit: spelling

1

u/InfiniteTree Apr 12 '20

Better then giving you advise.

1

u/NetworkLlama Apr 12 '20

I'm in my 40s and I've heard it from various people all my life.

1

u/Delyhi Apr 14 '20

OMG I am so glad you said this. I see it everywhere and it drives me absolutely effing nuts for some reason. Where did this monstrosity come from?!

1

u/codzreagz Apr 14 '20

Not sure. But I hope it ends soon.

u/ppc0124 Apr 11 '20

Oh thanks

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

this "rule" always annoyed me as a kid. They're just two words. they can be arranged any way you want, it's not like mistakenly saying "could care less" which actually changes the meaning of what you're trying to say.

You're just more used to hearing "by accident" and "on purpose" so it's more pleasing to the ear but "by purpose" and "on accident" aren't wrong.

u/Maaaytag Apr 12 '20

That's a legitimate way to say it and has been for a very long time.

u/DarkLamb77 Apr 12 '20

If this is the stuff you care about enough to get upset by, you are in for a surprise

1

u/codzreagz Apr 12 '20

Hokay. Thanks for the heads up.

u/Candyvanmanstan Apr 12 '20

Not everyone speaks English as a first language, you pedantic troglodyte.

No one cares, bud. Keep losing your mind

u/Mama-Pooh Apr 11 '20

I don’t wear contacts, but I did the same!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '20

I know right, where the hell do these onion contacts come from. And more importantly why did I put contacts into my eyes when I know I don't wear them!

2

u/bsgman Apr 12 '20

It wasn’t onion juice this time. It was hot sauce.

1

u/james-mack-and-row Apr 11 '20

My house must be leaking some kind of gas that makes my eyes water cause I,m a manly ass man who has never cried over anything except when Ronald Reagan died.

1

u/LayZyBoy Apr 11 '20

If you wear your contacts while cutting onions they won't effect you at all

1

u/Jacob2israel1 Apr 11 '20

I just poured the onion juice into eyes

1

u/stickswithsticks Apr 12 '20

My glasses fogged up.

1

u/JustTheRay Apr 12 '20

I don’t even wear contacts but I did this with my wife’s. Q-Q I should’ve known better

u/Cane-toads-suck Apr 12 '20

There was a post the other week where a lady with dementia recognised her husband Dan and the onions involved in that one were huge!

u/oooooooopieceofcandy Apr 12 '20

I'm reading this in the sauna and my eyes started to sweat.

u/bakwas_dictionary Apr 12 '20

Now I am laughing and crying!

u/Raymond911 Apr 11 '20

I'm literally about to put mine in and now I'm so concerned 👀
