    TMW...

    A member of a videogame forum you go to acts like he's being discriminated against and treated like soiled cloth because...

    a cheap, plastic replica of an item used in a video game will not be arriving in his country after all. Then he tells everyone who disagrees that they're terrible human beings and xenophobes. And he will have nothing to do with the videogame series at all, basically boycott the whole thing.

    Um, can anyone here please inject some logic in this? o_O To be fair, the site he ordered the item from did appear sketchy in that they confirmed his order, only to cancel it without warning for reasons unknown. Still, discriminated against?? Xenophobia?? Boycotting a game series??

    All for this item!?

    TMW someone you went to middle school with finds you on Facebook and confesses to a longtime crush ... and you tell that person that it's sad that you both missed the opportunity, but you've now been married for 7 years and it's a little too late for all that weirdness ... but he won't let up and now it's time to block him ...

    TMW you're trying to write about your Colonial detective only to realize you're kind of giving him almost Daredevil-level of powers. To wit, he knows just when the ceiling's about to collapse so he can push his friends out of the way in time as one of the scenes indicates...

    Hey, I like Netflix's Daredevil. :p

    That moment when you realize you're not American... but you gotta find an excuse to wear that skirt, so whatever.

    TMW you have to walk away from that one person with the really bad habit of interrupting and cutting people off mid-sentence because you're way too pretty to go to prison.

    TMW you're really hungry, but too lazy to make something to eat, so you just sit on the couch and look at pictures of food on Pinterest.

    TMW...

    You read a Cracked article about what it's like to live with no kidneys...while you're eating. And while you're eating, you're graced with all sorts of horrors said person would have to go through.

    I'm going to go lie down now. Don't read medicinal horror stories when you're in the middle of eating. Just...just don't!!

    TMW you plan on waking up at 8:00 am and cleaning your house to prepare for distant relatives to come into town, and end up accidentally sleeping until 11:30am, something you haven't done since you were a teenager. Now, you've slept too much and you're so groggy you're not sure if you can get on with the day at all, much less clean your house from top to bottom.

    TMW...

    You allow your main character to say what her story is in the fantasy novel and...you wind up writing a very sad ending. :bigfrown: Not sure if it's realistic or cheesy, but it's kind of sad.

    Cripes. Maybe I need to listen to my MCs more often. :write:

    You have an ah-hah moment, but remind yourself there might not be any substance to it.

    TMW...

    You see a dude standing near a public building holding the Confederate flag. All quiet and stern. Facing traffic and pedestrians.

    ...why?? Why?!?

    Because he can.

    The question is, why be offended? Roll your eyes and his ignorance and get on with life. :)

    TMW your character suddenly ties in his secret backstory and other subplots together without telling you about it.
    I am super pleased and miffed I didn't get a heads up.
