Good thing you have some good karma built up. You've got a wig coming to you no doubt.

I live near Munich and once met my sister with her 2 toddlers at the subway (30 mins from our hometown, she uses the subway like twice a year). She said "Oh great to see you. I hoped I might meet you to help me with the kids on our way home." I also meet family at random places at the Oktoberfest all the time. :D

By tradition, art is often challenging societal norms and, as a result, it is often offending to some people. Such minor things like a cross shouldn't limit the freedom of art.

I hope the gallery didn't get a commission, if they didn't show the work they didn't represent it.

Were some of their clients vampires or something? Who's so offended by a cross they'll complain out loud? I'm not Christian and don't like seeing them but I'm not gonna cause a stink about it.

Yeah but nothing you'd be proud of doing over and over. Which is of course how rich artists get rich.

I still don't get the whole "old enough to serve your country but too young to have a beer" thing. If an 18 year old is mature enough to make major life decisions regarding family (getting married) and career (picking a major or joining the army) then they're mature enough to have a bloody drink.

Lived in Wisconsin. One miserable, cold January, my girlfriend and I escaped winter and took a road trip down to Florida. Living it up in the Florida Keys, and having the time of our lives. She had an another week or so off work, but I had to go back to my job. So we left paradise to go back to the cold wintery hell, only to have my boss tell me when I got back that work was slow, and to take an additional 2 weeks off work..

You took a pregnancy test to prank your boyfriend? How on earth are you responsible enough to become a parent.

is Javiera Gotelli going for the record for most disliked person on BP or something? If so, they're doing well.

In the early 80's my dad, a very, very white man, drove his Dodge Omni with me in the carseat to Detroit to take me to the zoo. He took a wrong turn and ended up in the bad part of town. A Cadillac with tinted windows pulled up next to him, rolled down the window and a large black man said "You in the wrong neighborhood." Then he gave my dad directions to the zoo and handed me a 20 to "Buy something fun." I only know the story second hand, but I have a stuffed tiger from the Detroit Zoo that I bought with my own money.

Similar thing happened to my very white mom, about 20 yrs ago. She got lost in a neighborhood in Detroit. Young black man jumped into the passenger seat and told her "Lady, it ain't safe here." And he gave her directions to get back on a main road.

A lot of these aren't plot twists, just people being pranked or something a little unusual happenning.

Plot twist: My sister had a gorgeous bridal shower. She died the next day, very suddenly. Oh, that's not the plot twist. The plot twist is that her fiance asked to have title to her car, to remember her by. He then gave her car to his girlfriend. Who then became his wife. Yeah, not really a plot twist, but hey, if he's reading this: Yes, we found out, you massively inadequate twit!

I once went to a casting for a hand model gig. As I walk in, there's a hoard of Karens commenting about wondering when the "hot models" were going to show up as they sipped on wine and ate charcuterie. Me not being a white guy, they didn't even acknowledge me when I came in. I guess the photographer that got hired had the final say because I ended up booking the gig. The look on their faces when I showed up a few days later for the actual shoot was priceless. Smithfield...b17425.jpg

Went to college (NMT) in a small New Mexico town (10,000 people). Ran into my next-door neighbor from the Bay Area. Was traveling through a rural area in Northern California. Stopped at a Chinese place for lunch. Knew the waiter from Santa Cruz. Moved to a street in a semi-rural area near Santa Cruz with 10 houses. Had connections with three people on the street. Many more such stories.

What's with so many comments having huge downvotes lately. I come here from the email (on laptop), and the first comment shown says it's hidden. When I click it there will be anywhere from 40-250 downvotes. Just started recently?

As I tend to somewhat bitterly joke - If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. I'm really at a point where I either sit back and get wasted and go with the flow or I try to bulldoze my way to get to where I want and have another nervous breakdown. Being wasted is much more enjoyable.

When me and my sister were in high school or perhaps just after for me, my mom got remarried. My mom was technically the first one to move out. My sister and I paid rent to mom for about a year after.

Or...maybe different women have different views and being an *actual* woman doesn't automatically make you correct in judging all situations involving women.
