Oh yeah that’s definitely what I’ve done. I’m getting old now.
I had multiple experiences like that, but I was an isolated kid who left school at 14 and I was just a mess.
I had a girl he so direct with me when I was younger that there was no other way to take it and I thought she was picking on me.
I’m very far removed from that awkward young man now.

It depends on how you’re raised I think, and then you gotta fuck up and figure it out when you get older.
It’s a disease in my family. I was talking with my uncle the other day and he had been upset with his wife. He didn’t tell her, he just went and slept on the couch. Done the whole cold shoulder thing.
I told him he needs to spit out whatever he’s feeling in that moment if he wants things to work. No sense sitting on it thinking the other person should know why you’re upset. Different things hit people different ways. Something that might make your blood boil might get a chuckle out of me.
You have to talk and express these things or it won’t work. I’m glad I know that now and am applying it in the relationship I’m in today.

Good lord, my ex. Everything was a guessing game with her and she liked it that way because if things were calm and normal she wasn’t happy.
I’m so happy to be in a relationship with someone where we say what we mean and communicate our needs.

Man. Back when I was doing that work I took my principles very seriously. I never looked through people’s private files. If I happen to stumble on something accidentally, I never mentioned it.
This made me think about what a spaz I was when I was young.
I worked at a call center in my early 20s and I was hanging out with this beautiful redhead. I thought she was so far out of my league that I never stood a chance, so I never even thought about it. She was 100% my friend in my mind.
One day she told me that she needed her computer sped up. Told me there was nothing wrong with it, she just wanted to see if I could speed it up. We were tight enough at that point that I told her I would do it for free. We spent our lunches together, drove to the bank and cashed our checks together. We were good friends.
She said, “in my documents. There is a folder titled dance lessons. It’s full of naked pictures of me.”
I said, “Don’t you worry about it. I will not look at those photos. I will respect your privacy 100%.”
She replied, “Oh no I want you to look at them. I want you to see all of them and then tell me what you think.”
So you know what I did, I looked at them. I came back to work the next day with her computer. I sped it by disabling fading effects, and things like that, animations when minimizing and maximizing. Just a basic crap.
She looked at me and said, “So what did you think of my naughty pictures?“ I replied, “You are absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous.”
That was that, it was time to clock in. Couple months later, a mutual friend of ours told me that she confided in him that she had been trying hard to move on me for months and was fully convinced that I was a homosexual.
By that point, she was already in a serious relationship with a manager who worked there. They ended up getting married and having a child, they are divorced now.
Jesus Christ, I was just terrible. I was oblivious to everything around me. I swear there’s something wrong with me.
Who knows what would have happened? All I know is that I am happy with the course that my life has taken, but it is still something I look back at and cringe at my younger self.

Oh it wasn’t a small amount by the end of it. He’s a smart boy and he learned right then what that was all about. He won’t even buy a lottery ticket as an adult.

Man, looked at my bank statement many years ago and noticed several little charges. A few cents here and a few cents there. The biggest one was maybe .80 cents.
My son had fallen for some scam ran by a YouTuber and was buying and trading skins.
I will say though, now that time has passed, some of those skins are worth insane amounts of money. I’d sell them if I wasn’t so stupid sentimental.
My son got in trouble for doing that, but it still takes me back to a pleasant time when I look at the inventory.

I like the neck tie myself.

A gay made me uncomfortable. That was god talking to me, you know. :/
That’s the thing that bothers me most with religious folks.

I really needed to read this. Thank you.
I got so worked up today over someone calling restaurant work “entry level jobs for teenagers that don’t deserve 15 an hour” that I almost had an aneurysm.
I’m just looking away as much as possible. This world belongs to the idiots too and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Thank you for the comment. You woke up some peace in my heart.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 1 week ago:
I think mine was around 300 and is 47”. I don’t watch a lot of tv, it’s mostly there for the kids. The 4k picture looks amazing when I do use it. I do most of my gaming on my Steam Deck and I dock that to a 720p Samsung I’ve had for 18 years now (Was very high end when I got it). It is good enough for me.
I’m about to inherit my daughter’s gaming laptop and I’ll plug that in the bedroom and be happy with it too.

Sceptre makes a decent dumb tv.
I have one. I like it. 4k. Good enough for me.

People are bored and need something to feel special about.
That’s most of what we’re doing on this planet.
“Look at me! I’m a conquer!”
“Look at me! I don’t eat ketchup on my hotdog!”
“Look at me! I swear I’m just a little bit special!”

Yeah my dad never bothered me with that, but boy oh boy my mom does.
That was the biggest part of their struggle. My dad was a wild animal and my mom should’ve married a preacher.
She’s married to a man who sees the world like she does now. He’s a good dude and he’s perfect for her. She spent 30 years trying to make it work with my dad.
I like my mom’s husband, but stories could be written about my dad (wasn’t my father, just raised me).
He lived a life that would make some award winning movies look like Sesame Street.

My dad was the dumbest man I ever knew and he still had wonderful advice sometimes.
I mean, I can say that to you here and you can only imagine with the limited data, but my dad was duuuuuuumb.
There is value in our idiot parents. We just have to find it.

Some comedy trend I seen a few years back that riffs on technology and plays on a desire to return to nature.

My dad used to make me and my brother fight all the time when we were kids. It was like a family sporting event. All of the men gathered around and shouted, “git eeem buddy, don’t let eem gitchya! That’s riiite, yeah! Git eem in the belly!”
It usually ended with one of us crying and the men saying, “awwwww, calm down sis. It’s just a bloody nose.”
Reminds me of one of my favorite things I ever heard my dad say.
He said something that upset my brother when I was winning the fight, so my brother charged him. He put his hand on my brother’s head and held him back while he swung with all of his might.
My dad laughed and said. “HUHT HUHT! Look at eem, he’s like a little banty rooster! He’s flogging with all his little might! (bantam rooster, dad pronounced it “bay-nee)
It riled my brother up for days. I called him banty for years. Hahaha
For fun, this is a bantam rooster trying to fight a normal sized rooster.

I’m not ugly, but I’m the least attractive member of my family.
My brother looked like a Greek god, my sister looked like a model. My dad was so sought after that his name was spray painted all over our town with hearts and love confessions. Bridges, buildings, love for him was everywhere. He was chased by women aged 18-90.
I was born with crossed eyes and had to have a corrective surgery. Every man in my family is over 6ft tall and on 5’7. I still randomly message my mother to thank her for going through with the surgery.
I definitely lost the lottery, but it could have been worse.

Same crap with my sister.
I see them both as living farts.
