I am often seen picking weeds like a weirdo for my rescue tortoises. People do stare I'm afraid. Frank, Jerry and George need weeds though, so I am weed lady lol.
I'm always collecting dandelions and clover for my tortoise. People look at me me like I'm a weirdo stuffing them into the pocket of my backpack but the lil' guy has to have his snacks.
If they're available try grape vine leaves. Tortoises love them.

Many of us have been there. It’s Friday night, and we've made plans to go out with friends. Suddenly we realize we just don’t feel like being around people. Or, we don’t like people. Not tonight anyway. So, we stay in. It happens again on Saturday. And on Sunday. Maybe even the next weekend too. We might be called anti-social. But we probably aren’t.
The words “antisocial”, “asocial” and “introverted” are often used interchangeably in everyday life. But in the world of psychology, each has a very different meaning. Here’s how Healthline breaks it down: “Asocial people prefer to be alone, while antisocial people are actively against others and may lack empathy. Introverts, meanwhile, gain most of their energy from their inner world.”
I also like the secretary for making sure the girls know their dad is a good husband. Such things are precious.
Load More Replies...This is what happens when you emphasize connecting with each other on a personal level, accept each other for who they are, and not turn the relationship into a power struggle.
My dad would have joined in because he desperately wants to be liked and accepted. He skipped a grade in school and had a harridan for a mother, but my mom, my brother, and I are well past caring about the “why”.
Load More Replies...That's the only acceptable answer. Life is too short and beautiful to be miserable and with someone who doesn't bring out the best in you
I had the same problem years ago. Decades ago, when my kids were in elementary school, I was talking to some of the other moms and they were all complaining about their husbands (drinking/going out too much, not spending time with kids, not giving them enough money for bills etc.). I couldn't say anything, I have a great husband so I kept quiet.
Me tooo they were going away for a concrete job and alll the wives (first wives, I must mention, I’m a second wife) were omg I can’t wait for him to leave etc and they turned to me and I’m like damn I’m gonna miss making him breakfast and hearing about his day and hanging out 😂 they weren’t impressed and didn’t like me as it was

Load More Replies...Yosemite has a lot of rules to prevent bear attacks. Problem is people don't like to follow rules. We can't even get cops to follow the traffic laws
Yellowstone originally had a place where the tourists could put out food and watch the bears come and eat it. They eventually realized they were basically training the bears to hunt for tourists to get food.
Load More Replies...I live where they design and test the cans. The not winners were often broken open by teeth and claw not the crazy latches. Metal plating works best, as well as 1/2inch bolts into concrete, and a latch that only human finger can press (bear hands are much like ours and their claws are very dexterous.)
This is really interesting. Here in Toronto, our experts are always searching for receptacles that outsmart city raccoons (far more educated in Peopleology than country raccoons) while being manageable by all adult humans. The overlap in groups is also an issue here. 😆 I’m convinced that only actual locks will work & given enough time, I suspect the raccoons could figure out how to pick keyed-locks (or the combination for combination-locks). At least bears are lacking in manual dexterity!
Load More Replies...Just a thought, but maybe the tourists should take their trash home with them.
Have you seen the videos of bears opening car doors?
Load More Replies...Having worked in tourism for many years, I certify this is 100% true.
Ours do too.. they're a subculture of heros to the kids🤣 along with bus drivers, train drives, truck drivers etc 🤣🤣🤣
One of my kid's first words was truck. And one of his favorite videos was just a montage of garbage trucks dumping trash. :)
Load More Replies...When I was a kindergarten teacher, every time the rubbish truck passed the kinder, the kids would rush to the fence to watch. I don't think they ever had a driver who didn't wave to the kids.
When my kid was a baby/toddler he was obsessed with trucks. Every Monday the trash truck guys would make sure to stop and honk so that we could come to the door and see them. It made him SO happy. Truck was one of his first words. :)
these guys so often end up being friends with the kids. Years ago, when moms told the kids on my street to stay away from the road because the garbage truck was coming, they'd line up all their tricycles, wagons etc and cheer as the truck went by.
Ohhh yes. My grandchild is exchanging gift with garbage man where she lives... It has been going on for years now. So sweet...
Only about 1% of women and 3% of men are truly antisocial. If we’re going by the clinical definition of the word. Antisocial behavior runs a lot deeper than what some people might think. It’s not about not wanting to be around others. It’s not about preferring our own company. It’s not about getting anxious in social situations. And it's not about never going out.
It's actually code for "The baby needs to go out. I learned that in way less time."
He he he - you recognized this one too. I’m wondering if I should be worried about how many of these I saw in their original format on Twitter.

Ah yes, because a sample size of ONE vegetarian is ABSOLUTELY scientific proof/F A C T S /s (and ffs, Lennon wasn't a literal "meat-eater" in the way this fool is saying it, implying it as being the "opposite" of a vegetarian - Lennon was, ya know, an omnivore, like ALL HUMAN BEINGS NATURALLY ARE. Vegetarianism and veganism are fine, and people are free to make the choice to be a veggie or a vegan, but it's not a human being's natural state. Our species are omnivores.) EDITED TO ADD: Paul's first wife, Linda, was ALSO a vegetarian and SHE died aged 56. I'd love to hear OP's opinions on that. She died of breast cancer, yes, but we ALL know red meat is massively carcinogenic and causes insta-cancer /s sooo, why did Linda die of it if she was a vegetarian? ::thinking face::

Load More Replies...Why would anyone have a pool party and not get in the pool? And how is that intent conveyed by the addition of "adult"? We're having an adult dinner, no one's going to be eating. We're having an adult footie match, we'll just stand around the empty pitch. We're having an adult movie night - oh wait that's something else.
If you're not allowed to pool in the pool party, are you even allowed to party? What is left? I don't get it either, I've never been invited to a child-free childrens party or a pool-free pool party.
Load More Replies...Wait... so in whatever dystopian hellhole the OP lives in, a pool party does not normally even allow for enjoying the pool?
I take a swimming outfit with me everywhere I go. It's fairly old now and doesn't look as good as it used to, but it still works perfectly well.
I though adult pool party meant a swingers party at the pool, so in my head I went like: ,,duh, of course you don’t need swimwear for that.”
Pretty sure that was the implication, and maybe in case the pool was cold?
Load More Replies...I was once invited to a pool party. I was the only one who took my own cue.
You might have heard of Ted Bundy. One of America’s most notorious serial criminals. He terrorized dozens of women to death in the 1970s. His crimes have made it into several movies and books. His mind has been studied by psychiatrists. The title of Netflix’s 2019 movie about him says it all: "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile". Bundy was a psychopath.
Hahaaa, I had the same with my parrot. A courier came, I put the parrot in the other room and went to open the door. The feathered dinosaur was offended and started screaming (he's used to be with me all the time). The courier wanted to know who was screaming like that and... I introduced them to each other. They were both very content :)) (photo with the little screaming dude) 20200714_1...4bbd74.jpg

Absolutely! When I found out I was adopted (aged 7; I found out accidentally due to me snooping, my family had planned to tell me when I was older) I couldn't understand what it really meant and why my mom was crying as she explained it. Finally I was like "WAIT. I'm adopted.... like we adopted Split?" Split was the family dog. My mom looked a little confused, but said "Well.... actually, yes, I guess so. We wanted Split, so we adopted her, and we wanted you, so we adopted you." It made perfect sense to me. And so, I had two sisters - my human big sister (my adoptive parents' bio child) and my dog sister.

I know who has my dogs parents and siblings, so when I say that, I do actually mean the dogs family. I didn't even realize you meant the humans until the last few words.

Best compliment ever, better than the "you're so inspirational" stuff I get that I hate
A patient told me they liked my eye. Not eyes: Eye, singular. It should be noted that I have two eyes. I said thank you, a bit confused, and moved on with treating him. Several hours later, when I was in the shower, I realised I should’ve asked which eye. I need to know my best eye.
I later told my mum and she said “it’s probably your right eye. Your left eye is a little droopy.”

Load More Replies...In the psychiatric world, “psychopath” is not an official diagnosis. According to Healthline, it’s “an informal term often used for a condition called antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)”. And because the word “antisocial” is in the title of the disorder, it can get a bit confusing.
Surely it would be "queuecumber".
Load More Replies...Whenever I have to spell phonetically for someone, I tend to say "P as in pneumonia" or "K as in knight" or "G as in gnome". It may take longer to finish, but it amuses me and makes the transaction less tedious. M as in mnemonic usually seems a bit of an overreach.
Had a supervisor say over the radio "I as in Eyeball" he was mad he had to keep repeating himself
Reminds me of when Steve Harvey on Family Feud asked "Name something with Pork in it" and a contestant responded with "Cupine".
I swear I think people try to kill poor Steve Harvey with their answers sometimes.
Load More Replies...While I was in college, I worked for a small technical firm doing clerical work. When I graduated and announced I would be leaving for an in-field job, they hired my replacement, another young woman who claimed to be an English major like myself. One day I found her flipping through the dictionary. I asked what she was looking for. "How do you spell Europe?" She was looking in the U chapter. I questioned the wisdom of having hired her, but as much as I liked my soon-to-be-former bosses, I decided to let it slide.
I once had a really annoying b****y customer, so when I spelt out the code I used P as in Pterodactyl. K as in Knight, G as in Gnome. She was not amused, my boss, however, was.
If it was a first name, that's the spelling some parents would use when naming their child.

Many years ago (too many to mention) when I was 3 or 4, I would get lost in the grocery store just so I could have the policeman walk me around looking for my mom. It happened so often, he would nod at mom when we came into the store. Later, I introduced my family to my future husband, a police officer, they broke out laughing. The poor guy thought they were laughing at him.
The vast majority of crimes against children are committed by someone who the child knows.

Dr. Prakash Masand is co-founder of the Centers of Psychiatric Excellence. He told Healthline, “Most people might assume this describes someone who is reserved, a loner, keeps to himself, etc. However, this is not the case in ASPD. When we say antisocial in ASPD, it means someone who goes against society, rules, and other behaviors that are more commonplace.”
I'm not crying. You're crying.... that is a beautiful and precious thing. hang onto that.
When I first got to prison, the guards' winter uniforms were navy blue. Several of us who hung out together, being silly, would sight guards, and say, "Oh no! The blue people are coming!" A few years later, the blue uniforms were replaced by black ones. One can NOT say, "Oh no! The black people are coming!" It just really doesn't work out well.
We have a car wash by us that puts up those dancing wind sock guys and does different kinds for different holidays or randomly to change things up with a mix of colors. My son gets so excited to see them and was learning colors so yells "look at the dancing (color) guy". One day they had a black colored sock guy. He hadn't seen them use that color yet so he starts running around yelling look at the black guy. Look he's black. Look look at him dance.

Not racist, but I once had a culturally insensitive experience: I live in the Netherlands, and I mentioned to someone that I’m originally from Romania, to which they laughed and said “yeah right”. I asked what was so funny and they replied: “it’s a made up place!” Apparently they thought it was a fictional place due to the association with vampires and Count Dracula. I had to prove to them using Google that Romania is a real country.
Were you talking to an American visiting the Netherlands, or do other countries have people as dumb as us? Dang it, and that's the last thing we were the best at too

My friend introduced me to one her her friends. She introduced him as Black. Yes, he was black. But I'm just meeting this guy, and I want to hear what he refers to himself as because there's no way I'm calling this black guy Black right out of the gate. So I introduced myself and said my name and went to shake his hand. Turns out Black is his last name and that's what he went by. But my god, was that uncomfortable for a minute, lol.
I knew a dude whose name was "Coffee Black", spelled like I couldn't recall if I was the one who named him. And yes, he was as black as black coffee.

When I was very young, I had learned about immigrants for the first time, and I went to Walmart with my dad later in the day. I looked around, saw people of color, looked at my dad, and blurted out, "Wow, it must be immigrant night!"

Load More Replies...So what is ASPD? Healthline defines it as “a mental health condition involving longstanding patterns of manipulation and disregard for others.” Adding that those with ASPD often “don’t care if they break the law. They may lie and place others at risk without feeling any remorse.”
Science Direct notes “affected individuals may use an alias instead of their real name, and do anything they wish in order to achieve money, power, or sex. Their impulses do not allow for planning ahead or considering the consequences of their actions, as well as the safety of others and themselves."

The Cambridge Dictionary describes a “social butterfly” as someone who “likes to attend parties and other social events, often not having serious relationships with other people.” While the Urban Dictionary definition of “anti-social butterfly” is: “a term that is used when a social butterfly has been put into enough situations or trauma to become anti-social. This means they want to be social but feel like they can't or shouldn't for several reasons.”
The same site describes itself aka "urban dictionary" as "a place for you to lie about the amount of sexual knowledge/experience you have." And we felt that was important to note since all these terms can get a bit confusing.

A woman crashed into my parked van while I was inside waiting for my husband and reading a newspaper. She told me how sorry she was, that she would write to her insurance company because it was entirely her fault and so on. Her mom was with her in the car and agreed with her. Nobody was hurt, so we exchanged phone numbers and left. Later that night, her father called to say that I had crashed into her daughter's car in reverse leaving the parking spot. It ended in court, and since it was not possible to determine who was right the judge decided for concurrence of fault. At least in Italy, insurance companies raise the costs in case of an accident so I had to pay more money even if I had literally done nothing.
Call 911 dummy then your parents. Parents should always tell their kids to call 911 when they have in an accident and then the parents. My kids were taught that, son called me 1 day after school he was taking a friend home. There was this little pothead hellion that passed my son on a double yellow line on a hill then hit the brakes so that my son would hit him. When I got there and saw the other car it was best up and 1 look at his Mama and I thought oh God... turned out she's a Karen. The day we went to court for the ticket which the Judge threw out the Asst Principal was in line behind us outside for a speeding ticket and told me that kid had done the same thing to him 1 day but he was able to miss him. That kids license was revoked and Mama Karen tried screaming she was gonna sue the insurance company because they denied the claim after they got the police report, all the statements and the driving records. Her beat up car wasn't fixed! HA Ha b***h!
I did that! I called my dad, my friend who saw the idiot hit my right back bumper called the cops, my sister came with dad to calm him down (they thought it was my fault) and EVERYONE (including the cops and my dad) got mad at the guy who hit me (he tried to pass me on the right, on a wide 2 lane street, as I was moving to turn right) because he was so belligerent and actually used the phrase "don't you know who my father is?". So, his very expensive little car with the reverse opening hood that now looked like an upsidedown "V" needed a tow and lots of work, he got multiple tickets and almost got an "interfering with cop" ticket because he was so belligerent. I got- a cup of tea from my friend because obviously I needed one after such an ordeal, an admission that this wasn't my fault from my dad, and a sort-of warning from cop that the next time I'm carrying a cord of wood in my pick-up truck, make sure I can see better out of the back window. Oh and I got a great story/laugh.
Not gonna lie, when I first read it I thought they actually meant a club for people with black Jeeps. I'm an idiot! 🤣

When I first moved to Asheville NC, the news constantly had reports such as "Black mountain man found after being lost in the forest", or Black Mountain man sought in relation to a car accident ". It took me a few months realize there is a town nearby called Black Mountain.
I don't get the reason for combining skin colour a car model ownership. Sounds bloody daft to me.
I don't find anything wrong with it, as long as it's not a hate group. It's just a silly way for people to connect. It's not anything to do with race, and has more to do with realizing you fit into this niche and wondering if there are others that fit into this niche with you. For instance, I could start a group for biracial people with blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles. I wouldn't, lol, but the point wouldn't be to be exclusionary, it's more like "Hey, is there anyone else out there like me?" Perhaps the creator didn't know any other black Jeep owners and wondered if there were others like themselves 🤷♀️ idk, it doesn't seem that skin color really matters in the grand scheme of the group as they appear to have welcomed the person who misunderstood.

Are we finally are over the hump of racism? A color is an object not a person, I live it.
That is why I had lasik eye surgery when my kids were small! I was scared that if I had to pick them up in an emergency and I couldn't grab my glasses, how would I find them in a sea of kids! I used to be a -5.50 which means the big E at an eye test, did not exist, it was blurred into oblivion
The best money I ever spent! I was in the -7s and started wearing glasses in the 3rd grade. I couldn't even tell there was an eyechart! It's so nice to be able to see immediately after waking up without having to grab glasses or put in contacts.

Walking to kindergarden with eyes closed became so commen for me that I accidentally discovered that hunans have bat-abilitities long before it was proved. It was waaay easier that practecing having one or no legs. I was to young to consider the wheelchair as essential.
I got an inheritance, I immediately set up an eye lens replacement so I could see without glasses(-15 in both eyes). If I have surgery, I will not be scared out of my wits anymore when I wake up.

My dad told me when I was nine to stop reading, drawing, and playing video games for an hour. I didn't have any other hobbies then so I just stared at the ceiling on my bed for an hour thinking about revenge
teacher told my mom i was reading in class so my mom, the teacher and the school librarian "grounded" me from the library
When I was a kid, my dad would unscrew the cable from the back of the TV, when I was grounded. Silly man forgot who he was raising...I just screwed it back in, and unscrewed it when they came home, always putting it back on the channel it was on when I turned it on first, of course. 😉
But why do they need to live indoors? They have a whole outside to themselves

Sometimes I get slugs in my bathroom (less so now I have new bathroom flooring.) But often I don't switch the light on, because there's light from the hall. But one night I stepped on a slug, because I couldn't see it. I had slippers on. I tried to get it off my slipper with tissue, but slug slime is like glue so the tissue stuck to the slipper. I guess the slug got his revenge, but I really didn't mean to step on him/her!

The only complete sentence I remember from the Finnish course is "Mina olen viikinki" (I am a viking). I know one of the sentences in English was "The Norwegian cat is a wizard" but the only Finnish word of that particular string that I remember is "kissa" (cat). Oh, and there was one along the lines of "I am crying and the onion is laughing."
My favorite in Spanish is "Tienes gatos pequeños?" Do you have small cats?

Maybe, Technically, someone is only deceased when someone is officially declared dead by a doctor. If such a person is not on board, they may have to land immediately - because perhaps they could still be saved (technically speaking). Must also have to do with legal matters, lawsuits and so on...
Load More Replies...It sounds wildly sensible. Landing and taking off wastes peoples' time and costs a lot of money. Also, the corpse needs to get somewhere specific, and there's perhaps a 30 to 40% chance that it's the place the plane is supposed to go to.

AirBnB actually imposed a rule about this a couple of years back, such that any cameras had to be declared to any guests.
Load More Replies...James Acaster: if you don't provide breakfast, it's just an AirB.
AirBNB needs to be banned. Residential housing is being turn in to aparthotels, encouraging speculation in areas that already had housing problems. I live in a tourist area and rentals have doubled since covid. Plus the fact that it attracts a very low value type of tourist. The stock up at the supermarkets and don't spend money in local business. AirBNB foments submerged economy and illegal and abusive work practises.
Some lady ownes over 80 houses in a population of 8000, and she turned all of them into airbnb's forcing the rental rates to double or triple, and No ONE CAN STOP HER. WE had over 800 homeless last year alone. She litterally controls the housing market, and it's disgusting.
Load More Replies...I've been to a few cat shows just to pet the cats. Seriously, some of the new owners there want their cats to be socialised to being picked up by strangers. At my first show I'd had 3 cuties thrust into my hands by eager owners and had played with 2 litters of kittens. All the cats had excellent names like Sir Mattheus Roland Mcfloof too. Only £3 entry so well worth it.
I relate to this one! I used to take my son to soccer practice. To pass the time while he was at practice I'd play Pokemon Go as I made my way to the giant dog park across the street. Then I'd just hang out there until it was time to walk back and meet him after his practice. I don't have a dog. But it would make my day to watch happy dogs galloping around the huge space. They literally smile!

Load More Replies...I had a goldilocks situation recently. Im staying at my mom's and she and my aunt are staying elsewhere. My sleeping options were a futon which was too hard, mom's very old mattress which was sagging and too soft and my aunts brand new beauty rest which was super comfy. However, my aunt collects porcelain dolls and ceramic angel tchotchkes. Its super creepy in that room. I slept on the futon for two weeks till i could get someone to help me switch the mattresses. I keep the door to that room firmly closed.
In the Looney Tunes version, Goldimouse and the Three Cats, it's mentioned afterwards that Goldimouse is "serving a sentence for breaking and entering" now.
I don't think she broke in. I don't think the door was locked, so she opened the door and walked in.

Yes, they made a choice, but they made a choice based on false information that the man purposefully gave them. He knew he’d get presents from each woman he was dating, so he manipulated the situation in a way that benefited him and lied about his birthday, which is fraudulent.

Reminds me of that quote from Full Metal Jacket: " You're so ugly, you could be a modern art masterpiece"

Modern art is purposely ugly at times to force the viewer to consider the inherit message in the work. It's clear that it wasn't made for the sake of beauty so it must be for another reason right? I'm not a fan of it, but I understand the point.

I tried speaking French in a Quebec McDonald's. The clerk looked at me with an annoyed expression and said, "Whaddya want??"
If a foreigner speaks Italian to an Italian, they're excited. If a foreigner speaks Greek to a Greek, they're overjoyed. If a foreigner speaks Chinese to the Chinese they're absolutely dumbfounded. If a foreigner speaks French to the French, they act like someone pissed on their shoes.

Eric Burdon and the Animals, wearing proper suits on The Ed Sullivan show. One of the best live performances I have ever seen. They had respect, and they sure as H had talent.
Most bands and musicians from that era respected music and respected their fans. Music was their love and they made music as a craft. Sure some became very rich but most were happy to make a living. David Gilmore nearly staved basking in France. Jimmy Page worked as a session musician and most did the local clubs 5 6 days a week.

The person/store does not have to take payment in coins if it would be a undue burden on them. I’m assuming the OP is in the US.
That's true, but you can't get in legal trouble for trying to pay in all pennies unless you start threatening the staff for not taking them
Load More Replies...In return, the tow truck company completely disassembles his truck and gives him all the parts.
I've posted this before. Here in the UK - Under the Coinage Act 1971, one penny and two pence coins are legal tender only if used to pay for something that costs twenty pence or less. A bill of up to five pounds can be paid for in five pence or ten pence coins, whilst for bills up to ten pounds, twenty pence and fifty pence coins can be used.
Here in the US, it varies. Basically, private businesses can dictate what form of legal tender (cash) they accept. However if the location is a governmental business, or agent of the government (such as a towing agency would be), then they are legally obligated to accept any and all forms of legal tender. That includes pennies.
Load More Replies...Could he get arrested for that or are the people just annoying
Not in any of the countries that use pennies. At least in the US nobody but the government is legally obligated to accept large numbers of pennies for payment.
