Me starting a conversation with my dad about some mundane things that instantly turn into him talking about conspiracy theories.
the phrase “yall” melting my brain cells painfully, 1 cell at a time:
Y’all need to accept the fact people come from different cultures
It’s why I like bacteria. Being from Wyoming, it’s the only culture some of my hick kin have.
i know but the word just doesn’t sound nice
Y’all is great and as a foreign speaker it’s really nice
y’all is nice but yall isn’t
Yet the misuse of a colon as a form of sentence punctuation doesn’t hurt more? Talk about arbitrary…
wdym?
no worries, my brain will remind me every 45 seconds for the next 3 weeks
And keep going for the rest of your life, just at a lower frequency because there’s more screw-ups to keep getting reminded of.
ha, yep. theres a lot of backpressure there in that pipe
Just like Fallout 4, I only ever select the sarcastic option.
It’s the missed quicktime events that gnaw at my soul.
I used to work for a large corporation and one day I found myself in a meeting with a bunch of female vice presidents where I was the only man there. The presenter was unable to display on the big screen because she didn’t have a connector; I happened to have the right kind and loaned it to her.
She said “you’re pretty handy to have around.” My brain decided that a clever thing to say in response would be “well, I’m pretty well-endowed in the dongle department” and I started to say that before my brain thought better of it and cut me off. So what I actually said was “well, I’m pretty well-endowed”. One woman in the room actually guffawed but everybody else managed to ignore it - although I’m willing to bet this story was told later more than a few times.
It’s been over 20 years and there are two that haunt me to this day.
I was talking to my dad about family drama a couple weeks ago, and instead of wording my sentence properly I made it seem like I called my cousin a cow. I immediately felt bad because even though she’s being a fucking idiot, I still like her.
That’s when you clarify that you like some cows. They can be sweet, dumb animals.
After that, you just start anticipating this feeling and unlock social anxiety.
