so you scrape up the blood, make black pudding, and serve it in the restaurant which gets heavy trade from mosquito killers who then bring you mosquito corpses which you make into protein bars and serve to first responders at the crime scenes... the synergies are obvious
TMW you buy one of those little magnetic cases that hold a spare key and is supposed to be placed somewhere on the underside of your car and you discover that your 2018 car has almost no place that is not essentially plastic or aluminum so it's really hard to find a spot. Much easier on the 2003 car you just let go of.
That moment when you arrive home, it's dark, husband's tipsy and you can hear your water meter whizzing around. Great. That's tomorrow spoken for ... hunt the leak!
TMW so idiot doesn't pay attention and hits your parked truck. And you realize the $2000 dollars you spent on a brush guard, just saved you several thousand in repair costs.
TMW you open up your freshly stolen shop vac to find out what that buzzing sound is... https://6abc.com/hornet-theft-shop-vac-stolen-philadelphia-bee-company-malvern/13831571/
TMW you think you’re about to have an insightful historical/political conversation with a classmate but you quickly discover that he believes that toxic masculinity [specifically that concept] is healthy and that the Black Panther Party is/was just as bad as the KKK… His other arguments included that environmental racism didn’t exist and that black actors didn’t get cast in demeaning roles, because he personally “hadn’t seen any blackface on video…” [his words, not mine] And it’s not just me, because I’ve told other people about this and several of my friends asked who the guy was so they could go ‘talk’ some sense into him. [I didn’t tell them, half’s it of concern for the guy’s safety and half because I genuinely don’t remember his name ] Today was a fun day.
Time when you experience mansplaining… only I’m a man and it was from a woman… femsplaining she’s been on a tour of a sewage works and now knows everything about marine sewage I meanwhile am a beach officer with nearly 30 years experience and 2 degrees who deals with marine sewage most days I guess we can conclude she was talking shit
TMW you get a "fraudulent activity" alert on your account and freeze your accounts and cards.... Only to realize you need gas in your car and have no cash... So you investigate the fraud activity to find that its actually legit (longer story ...) Then call the credit union back to try to unblock your account so you can get gas.... All before 7am
I will do what all self-proclaimed experts do and give you advice that I do not follow myself, but should. Get two cards, or banks. If one fails, you always have a backup.
TMW the publisher sends you a long list of questions from the publicity team and you realize, dear lord, they really mean to print, distribute, and publicize this book. Why, when faced with getting something I've worked toward all my life, am I suddenly terrified?
Dunno why, and that doesn't matter, so long as you face and accept it and move ahead. And congratulations.
That happens to me a couple times a year. My constant travel triggers what ever fraud detection the bank uses. No matter how much i try to get the location aspect removed. Ugh.
[QUOTE="Catriona Grace, post: 2011512, member: 98659"Why, when faced with getting something I've worked toward all my life, am I suddenly terrified?[/QUOTE] Well, the easy answer is that the destination will be unfilling, thereby devaluing the journey.
Well, the easy answer is that the destination will be unfilling, thereby devaluing the journey.[/QUOTE] I suspect it's more like, "What if the other shoe drops at the last minute?"
When moment that the printer is on the sofa next to you because you need to scan about three-dozen documents, but you forget the printer is there and hit it with your eye. Come on. That's the one part of my body I would expect to sense that hit coming, you know?
TMW you forget for the upmteenth time that you are disabled due to your hearing and vision loss. And that awkward TMW when you realize this is what they mean by 'privileged'.
Saga continued the next morning before work. Opened the door, it rebounded off my clown foot to hit me the socket of the same eye. It's a good thing my handle is anon because I really can't admit that one in person.
TMW you get a third of the way to work and realize your work laptop is sitting on the sofa at home. ♀️
TMW when you realise that they don’t do animal acts in circuses anymore because new legislation now forbids circuses to perform with animals. Lions, elephants, camels or whatever. At least they still got clowns, dwarves and acrobats though. TMW you realise times are changing.
