Load More Replies...Switch moms up for dads because why are women solely responsible for their sons and you've got yourself a deal mister
This comment reminded me of a tv show from years ago where three mothers had to choose between a group of girls the right girl for become their sons girlfriends. Kinda like the Bachelor but the moms made the choice. And if I remember correctly they also had ti watch the son and girl's dates or something like that. It was very Italian...
Parental Control! That was a great horrible junk TV show. Then there was another one where the guy would go on a date with the mom to see which girl is right for him.

Load More Replies...You don't have to give someone a number at all. You simply say 'you can give me yours'. And then don't let them enter it into your phone or call you to give it to you. They just say it and you write it down or put it into your contacts.

No, wait.. yours is the version that could *actually* be pulled off, and hilariously fun as well. The original was, let’s face reality here, just an amusing thing to suggest and not very realistic 😂
Load More Replies...We all know there’s no limits to what you can find online. Whether you want hard hitting news, adorable pictures of cats, shocking videos on TikTok or photos of your friends’ vacations, you can find it all! But one interesting niche of content is “suspiciously specific” posts. This genre contains all of the questionable tweets, Facebook posts and more that describe bizarre, sometimes “hypothetical,” scenarios that might have you wondering who in the world is actually experiencing these things.
And while this kind of content can be found in all of the different corners of the internet, one place that compiles plenty of this content is the Suspiciously Specific subreddit. This group was created in 2018 but has already amassed an impressive 1.3 million members. The community has more recently transitioned to focusing on Among Us fanart and memes, but lucky for us, members had already shared a variety of hilarious, oddly specific posts.

Load More Replies...I actually knew someone, when I was younger, who wasn't allowed to read Harry Potter for a while, due to them "being demonic", but they were allowed to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. -_-
They were later allowed to read them, but it was still weird to me since those movies are basically about dark curses, and stuff like that.
Load More Replies...I mean, Harry Potter does have witchcraft in it. That’s kinda the whole premise of the story…
When I was younger, I couldn’t watch the ending movies of Harry Potter, but I can now I think it was just because then the movies are a bit darker, and they have more witchcraft
Oh. I think I prevented myself from reading the HP series because I thought it was weird. A book about witches and wizards? Sounds sketchy. My mom was totally fine with my grandma lending me the first book, but I was hesitant. Ended up getting the usual HP phase. I now think it’s okay simply because it’s fictional. I also don’t believe or try to believe that using a wand will do anything.
New Fear Unlocked
Why would every woman fear late marriage? There's plenty who would applaud being able to marry at an age of their choosing instead of quite young. Then there's plenty who don't want to marry at all. I'll stick to checking for snakes, thank you.
Nothing is worse than marrying too soon and finding out your partner is abusive.

I think we’ve all been in a scenario where we asked a question “for a friend,” that was a bit too specific to ask if we didn’t actually have experience with the topic… “My friend is having relationship troubles,” or, “My cousin has a medical question that she’s too embarrassed to ask.” Well, many of these posts are the virtual equivalents of those, often used for comedic effect of course. And according to Candace Osmond at Grammarist, this is an easy way for us to save face when we’re worried about being judged.
While there’s no way of pinpointing exactly where the classic “asking for a friend” phrase came from, it doesn’t seem to be anything new. Anonymous advice columns have been popular in newspapers and websites for decades, so it’s no surprise that we’ve implemented a similar style of posting on social media as well. Even if something is shared “hypothetically,” if it’s too specific, it’s going to raise some eyebrows.
Nicknames
I have a habit of giving people nicknames at work just by making wise-a*s comments. One kid who couldn't understand anything no matter how many times you explained it to him became "Bobby Hill" after I commented "that boy ain't right". Two people at different places I sarcastically called "the Professor" because of their blatant stupidity. And then finally I made a wisecrack that led to a guy being nicknamed "Bunny Foo-Foo". Bottom line is you probably don't ever want to work with me.
Suspicious And Wholesome!
I watch the credits like a silent salute to all the people who worked on the film but aren't on the screen. They will never know, but it's my way of honoring their work. Plus sometimes there's an extra scene.
We used to watch the end credits, just for inspiration while brainstorming mean names for each other to highlight our worst physical traits. Miss ya, Neck Biggers. Here's to you Chinny Rambaldi.
I always watch the credits on the "Naked Gun" type movies since they like to slip jokes in
As a film crew member.. I love you for this. ❤️ i work mostly in TV and they not only speed through the credits, they put them up in the corner while the previews for the next show play 🤬
That's really gets on my nerves! I'm one of those people who likes reading the credits. I might wanna know who's the cinematographer, the sound people and so on. Sometimes a particular style of production looks familiar and I like to see if it's create by someone(s) from others shows I've seen. I know I'm a production nerd.
Load More Replies...Yep. I hate credits that lump all the extras together too. The best ones are those that list people by the line they had in the film. But yes, give it up for the 2nd assistant best boy.
I usta know someone whose life’s goal was to work at Pixar, and when he got the job, I was so happy for him! I’ve spent the past 30 or so years watching for his name in the credits and every movie, it gets listed earlier and earlier as (I assume) he’s been promoted. He’s the only one I can think of whose career I’ve gotten to watch progress without even seeing him! (Lemme tell you: it’s MEGA-cool!)
Free The Frog!
It looks like he’s doing that one face where ur angry but trying to stop an exasperated sigh from escaping

Although many of the posts on this list were shared online for comedic purposes, regardless of whether they’re referring to real situations or not, this content got me wondering about whether we’re oversharing online. As much fun as posting on social media can be, we have to remember to have boundaries too. According to Van-Hau Trieu, Senior Lecturer in Information Systems at Deakin University, and Vanessa Cooper, Professor of Information Systems at RMIT University, there are personal and professional risks associated with oversharing. Research has shown that over half of us have anxiety surrounding our family, friends and coworkers sharing photos or videos that we don’t want public.

Load More Replies...Kind of true. I was at a friend's house a few weeks back and she had a cooking show on from.. maybe Australia, maybe UK. I forget. the point is everyone on the show was kind and helpful and encouraging to each other and it was a breath of fresh air compared to the USA cooking shows I've seen.

That's Something
In an already slightly moldy tub of yoghurt, sitting in the back of the fridge. But in view, only half obscured by a vaguely orange tupperware with some cheese and half a tomato in it, and maybe an almost empty jar of pickles. Stick your hand in there, agent Smith.
If you're someone who hoards Christmas decorations like myself, you take the USB and tape it to the inside of a Christmas village house. From there, you place it back in the protective styrofoam which then goes into its box. Typically, said box is then placed in some sort of tote box along with other miscellaneous decor. Tote box is then placed with the remaining Christmas/holiday decor in the back corner of the attic where it will promptly be forgotten about until the following Christmas.
In 30 minutes? It would take me 30 minutes to find that decoration..

The next day, police raided the father's house and thoroughly dug up the yard, but found nothing. When the father told his son about the raid, the son said, "there. Now, you can do your planting."

Load More Replies...Oversharing often has innocent intentions, though, as it’s linked to how we’re feeling. “When we feel strong emotions, we often use social media to communicate with and get support from friends, family and colleagues,” Trieu and Cooper write. “We might share good news when we feel happy or excited, or anger and frustration might drive us to vent about our employers. When emotional, it is easy for us to cross the boundary between work and social life, underestimating the consequences of social media posts that can quickly go viral.”
You Can't Put Them Anywhere
Forget astrological signs, tell me your childhood compulsive behaviour foreshadowing lifelong hangups. Mine was never being able to use video game powerups because I might regret not having them later.

Load More Replies...Such as my friend Benjamin who is from Dover. Or my Irish friend Patrick who comes from a family of makers of outdoor tables and chairs. Ben Dover & Patty O’Furniture are lovely people. Tho, I feel dejected as my last name is Foxwell. Had I been born a girl, I’d have been named “Betty. Betty Foxwell.”
I think most names are that way. It's just the others are in languages we don't understand.
To ensure that we aren’t oversharing too much online, Trieu and Cooper recommend that we all set defined boundaries between our personal and professional lives. Inform your friends, family and colleagues about these boundaries, and rethink your relationships with anyone who doesn’t respect them. It can also be wise to create separate social media accounts for personal and professional use, or to keep your pages private to ensure you know exactly who’s able to view your content.
Roosters Are The Best
Neighbour keeps hens and a rooster. Henhouse is next to a street light. Light makes the rooster crow, day and night. Roosters only last a year or so before they die of exhaustion.....We are currently in the no rooster phase - yay.
Roosters will also sacrifice themselves to protect the hens from predators. They are heroes.
Roosters are very often mean. My brother had to guard me when I went to get eggs so it wouldn't attack me
Oh HELLLL no. I owned a rooster ONCE. I was gullible enough to believe a person who told me if there was only one rooster (no competition) they wouldn't crow. Crowing early every morning outside of my bedroom. Gave it to a friend who had tons of chickens. Only raised hens after that.
It's advice that's been around for*years*.
Load More Replies...Clearly my neighbour over the back read this and added a rooster to her chicken coop. It lasted about two weeks before the more assertive people in my street got tired of being awoken at 5am every day.
Also in the immortal words of Alice in Chains, "y'know he ain't gonna die."
Roosters are noisy, crowing often. They can also be mean and spiteful. We had one that used to drag the hens around by their eyelids (he was soup a while ago). The one we have now is a wuss. he only crows AFTER you have gone by, pretends he does not see you and hides if there is a predator and the hens get attacked. Led our hens into deep brush where we had trouble getting them out before the fox found them. You cant turn your back on him or he will attack you, not a predator just humans. On the plus side he ensures the girls have food first, never gobbles treats but leaves them for his ladies.
Apologise To Mr Hoskins
Or "I [21F] have been married to my husband [23M] since 2nd grade. We have 8 kids and one on the way. He's always been loving and caring but recently he's started to put adverts online saying he wants to sell our kids to the best offer. Also I've found photos or him clubbing little seal cubs. Another thing: he researched how to make antifreeze not taste bad when put into food. When confronted about these things he got angry and yelled I invaded his privacy. Yes, it's true but it was on accident because I used his laptop to make my academic research about a cure to cancer. I apologized but he's now very offended and is not talking to me. Am I the a*****e?"
Oh my, that sure is a dilemma! Ya soulda asked this question long before '6 hours to go' .. might want to invest in a really good carpet/floor cleaner, too -- perhaps you'll get one as a wedding gift 👰🤵

And maybe Ed Sheeran hears about the incident and writes a song dedicated to you!
My Mom used to sing at church, and she'd get asked to do a lot of funerals. One day, she came home after AGAIN singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at a Catholic Church, and tried to make us promise not to have anyone sing Wizard of Oz songs at her funeral. Rotten, evil kids that we were, my sister and I burst out singing at the exact same moment, "Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!" Pray for me when I die... that little outburst is gonna cost me a LOT of time in purgatory....
I just laughed and spat peanuts all over my screen
Load More Replies...I didn't die (spoiler, I know) but I have memories of totaling my car as a teen and the only thing still working was the 8 track player kept playing Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic.
Elderly friend once confided she’d agreed to have a hymn they both hated at her husband’s funeral because their son had loved it when he was a child so her husband had said it was his favourite and 50 years later she still didn’t have the heart to tell the truth!

I think it was about 30 years ago when I read a news item in which some guy - maybe in his late teens - rolled his car and was injured. He was unable to move and all he could do was wait, in pain, for hours. Keeping him company during his wait was Wham's classic "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" stuck on repeat.
I think I have a new thing to add to my list of irrational fears
It’s also important to make sure that you respect the boundaries of others. If you plan on posting photos or videos of friends, it’s courteous to ask for their permission before sharing them publicly. And if anyone asks not to be featured on your account, make sure that you don’t overstep. Trieu and Cooper also add to share consciously online, to avoid making mistakes. They recommend staying offline when you’re feeling emotional, especially when you’re upset, and to always consider who will see your content before publishing it. If there’s anything you don’t want family or colleagues to see, perhaps it shouldn’t be out there.
Ok Josh
I did something similar to prank one of my friends, but it was broccoli. She still talks about it, and has no idea it was me. I'll never tell.
Love the idea, but.... With the stupid racial tensions, please do not do this to a person/ family of color.( They might think it was meant to be a threat). Maybe do a cantaloupe or some other obscure fruit / vegetable.

I can beat your watermelon. In 1975, I had just broken up with a bf. It was my bday so I took myself to a local restaurant for dinner. I didn't see anyone I knew.

I never found out who did this, and all my friends denied being there.

My cat brought in a baby bird once, and I rescued it from the feline terrorist and nursed it back to health. I put it into a pizza box and named it Pizza.Two days later I released it back into the wild, and watched from the patio as a crow came and carried it away. But I knew the crows in the trees had babies. I was heartbroken but... that's nature. I am still unsure how I feel about that. Moral dilemma.
I guess it depends whether you were watching a documentary about the baby bird, or about the crow and his/her babies.

We made friends with a little Junco bird once. She always nested in one of our bushes and would hop up close to us whenever we were outside and listen to us talk to her...until crows moved into the neighborhood and killed her. They also dropped stcks on our heads as if to mock us. I haven't trusted crows since.
I want to go too. Can the crow recommend me to its friends so i can become a godess if the forest please
It’s always wise to do periodic clean ups on your social media accounts as well. If you find something from 5 years ago that doesn’t align with your beliefs anymore, just delete it. Yes, it’s possible that plenty of people have already viewed it, but you have the chance to minimize who else can or even eliminate anyone else from seeing it in the future. Especially for the average person who doesn’t have a huge following online, it can make a big difference to simply hit delete on questionable posts.

This is an American thing. Try telling someone how they can decorate their home or garden that they own in the UK and you won't get very far. You'd be laughed out of court.

Besides that, hell no, I don't want Rita from three doors down complaining about the length of my lawn or something equally ridiculous.
I'm so grateful that I was able to move to a really old neighborhood that pre-dates HOAs and people feel comfortable letting their freak flags fly. Often literally. In my street alone there's two Jolly Rogers, a United Federation of Planets, and an International Flag of Planet Earth. As well as no end of brightly colored doors, flamingos, free art, a big-a*s mural, and that for a few glorious months, a 12-foot tall werewolf. The really funny thing is, when left to their own devices, people rarely do anything outlandish anyway.
I'd never heard of this US thing until recently. It sounds like some kind of criminal enterprise to extort people who have no choice but to comply..
It didn't used to be. It started off as a way to reduce costs by having group expenses bundled for things like water, sewage, garbage, and other things where group rates are cheaper. Now it is just an extortion racket with very few if any benefits. The worst thing is you can not opt out if you live in a HOA.

Reminds me of the time I asked my supervisor to give me all my remaining holiday time just to get away from a toxic workplace as soon and for as long as possible. My first day back supervisor gives me a hearty "So you're relaxed and refreshed now that you're back after your break." no doubt expecting an enthusiastic eager beaver response. I just look him straight in eye and said deadpan "I'm back."
Currently unemployed.

If you’re worried about oversharing, Trieu and Cooper recommend treating social media like your own personal brand. “If you wouldn’t say it to your colleagues and managers, don’t post it online,” they write. “Social media can enrich our professional and personal lives, but ill-considered posts and oversharing can be damaging to yourself and others. Being smart on social media is something we need to get better at in our professional lives, just as much as our personal lives.”

Why would you want to fight them off? Why not just accept what we all know to be true and bow down to our feline overlords? Pet some of the cats while you're down there.
But all the cats would be in Scotland then. What about the rest of us who want to live with cats?
Load More Replies...I’m Scottish and I would simply accept my new feline overlords. I’m already controlled by one cat, another 114 won’t make much difference.

Load More Replies...You are, of course, assuming we *want* to take them on
Load More Replies...I would just end up increasing the number of cats in my house from 2 to 114, and none of them would ever want to leave. Or hurt me, because they would instantly realize they fell into a really good thing with me, and wouldn’t want to f**k it up. I couldn’t think of a nicer war to wage, tbh.
At this point in time, having cats officially run the world sounds lovely.

Thank you, I heard they dug my hole up but I hid the body deeper so thanks to you I'm not in jail for murdering the president of Malaysia
Pro tip: Bury a dead animal a couple feet above the body. So when the cadaver dogs come around, everyone will think they know what they found.
I find a nice walk in the woods to be very relaxing. The fact that I'm dragging a body behind me is completely irrelevant.
Another tip: Dig the hole deep enough, but just wide enough to bury the body vertically, not horizontally. Search instruments are calibrated to find horizontal graves and search teams look for traditionally-shaped graves.
That's why you hug some people - so you'll know how deep to dig the hole.
Bury a dead cat or dog a foot or so above the thing you don't want the police to find. They'll assume the disturbed earthw as just the pet burial and that was what the dog was alerting on.
Everyone is jumping to dead bodies but I'm pretty sure this message is in regards to 💩

Always dig the hole first. That way if you are not up to it, you don't still have to hide a body.
What you just said resonates. So many shows have people (even kids) hauling away with a shovel, digging a huge hole in next to no time. I buried my small dog and even digging a two foot square, and two foot deep hole is bloody difficult. Rocks, tree roots, hard - dry soil. I was knackered after digging a small hole. It'd be a heart attack waiting to happen trying to dig a 6"x3"x6" hole for a person.

It’s A Family Secret
I've told this story before, so forgive me if you've heard it already: had a friend give me her mom's recipe for Coca-Cola cake, then got ticked off when I gave the "secret family recipe" to friends. 1) she never told me it was a secret prior to me giving it out; 2) I bought a cookbook of bake sale recipes a couple decades later, and guess what was in it, almost verbatim?
On the other hand, my mom entered her delicious roll recipe in an elementary school cookbook for a fundraiser. Except she put the oven temperature up to at least 50 - 70 degrees hotter. My sister tried to make them using the cookbook and her rolls burst into flames! - my mom was an evil little s**t, lol.
Cheating on a spouse is one thing... but only my children will ever get my bbq sauce recipe.
The best is when you share a recipe and the person says it didn't taste the same as yours. "I didn't have milk so I substituted water, I don't like butter so I left it out, I used artificial sweetener instead of sugar, oh and I baked it twice as long just to be sure."

Disney seems like a nightmare. My desire to go is in the negative range. If I got free tickets, I still wouldn't go.
I was there as a kid and I was miserable. My sister's kids were miserable and weren't old enough to get anything out of it. My mom and stepdad went for the sake of going and both said standing is all they did. I see no point. I remember 4 hotdog and fries meals in the 90s costing $60 for that...
I go to Disneyland for the exercise and the merch. Sometimes for the baby ducks/geese. There's no other place where I can happily log 4 miles and feel like I barely walked anywhere. I rarely get on rides, but I also know when it's worth getting in line and when it's better to wait. The app helps. I take sunscreen, a hat, a thermal water bottle, and a portable fan in the spring/summertime. Although, I don't have kids and usually go on my own, so I'm allowed the luxury of making and changing my own plans. Maybe that's the key to enjoying Disneyland, now that I think about it. 😁

I used to have a fat black and white cat. You know the type of fat cat. Determined to be fat. On a strict diet so she dumpster dives sticks of butter to keep up the fatness... anyway. I'm having a cig one night and I see my black and white fat cat's butt sticking out of the trash area. I tell her to stop. She ignores me. Cycle repeats. Eventually I get mad and go to gently nudge her with my foot to get her attention. As my foot reaches out I think "wow, my cat's fur looks awful." Then I touched it. And a baby skunk comes tearing out of my trash. I run screaming into the house. And there's my fat cat sitting inside looking at me like I'm an idiot.

Depression On A Stick
Just give some random consoling phrases like "wow that's crazy" or "how unfortunate" before taking a bite. Chances are they go "right?! and imagine this..", and it gives them time and reencouragement to ramble on and cry some more while you chew. Repeat until you run out of corn dogs.
Just take several small bites of it in a very depressed manner.
Either until they stop crying, or your stomach rumbles loud enough that they hear it.
Immediately. With a bit of luck it will distract them from their own problems, and without a bit of luck it will make listening to them more pleasing.

It's easier to read my half-cursive, half-printed writing. I had to memorize the times tables (calculators weren't around then), but I'll grab a calculator in a heartbeat to avoid having to try to remember what 8 X 9 is. Edit: I learned to drive a stick shift because that's all we had. I drive an automatic now, though.
Yea. I was in a job intake training, and while we were on break, this guy in there said "millennials and the new generations don't even learn cursive anymore. I hope my kids can still do their signature." This training has a sign-in sheet, where you had to write your name, and sign the sheet. His signature was maybe a single letter with additional flourishes, but not actually writing in cursive. I'm a millennial who actually uses cursive in my signature, and teachers stopped accepting things written in cursive before I even got out of elementary, so the teachers were definitely not millennials, and therefore, millennials weren't the reason I stopped using cursive. I would've called the guy out of he wasn't starting as the new medical director of his department.
Oh my ... how I hated it. Handwriting itself is ok, but the forced WAY that, down to every line and turn and serif and whatnot, determines how and where it is to be placed, what size, regardless of flow of motion and readability of the less-restricted writing, made it a lot worse in their and in my book. To finally just say "let the boy write how he writes, we'll be able to read that!", they needed some Doctor write me a note about a disorder or so I wasn't even tested for, that disabled me from writing in that way. It's not even that I wouldn't have been able to adapt a writing to some standards, it's that it didn't even start without them. Every, no matter how clear identifiable, how doubtproof, letter that looked different - not needing to resemble a wrong one in any way - got me another mistake, AND orthography was graded seperately as well, so I got a double hit here for one mistake that isn't even one. Events around this ruined my relation to authority, lastingly so.
I like it that our younger grandkids don't understand cursive (the oldest was taught it). Their Gramps and I are excited to have a secret code!

Well ... I drive a Mini ... not that cheap either, or you're busy a lot of times, but anyway, the lack of car's size, absolute as well as relative, is in no justifiable relation to the improvement over average d-star-star-k size, regardless of vehicle mass (770kg vs some 14XY kg), length (3054 mm vs some 4200...4300), ... so ... maybe it always is the smaller part that deviates further. Or always the vehicle. Or random, just messed around in... ? OTOH, I have so far not seen many d's that are way off of mine, so I guess it's pretty average in size, while stats say it's about 1...2 cm atop.

I felt this a lot harder than I thought I would... Role for Initiative!
Or roll for initiative? Both sort of make sense since it's role playing game (or roll playing game?)

I've found incels think of themselves as extremely intelligent
Load More Replies...Putting your finger under the words you read doesn't mean you aren't intelligent. This is some dumb s**t.
True, but the intended meaning is known at least, and pretty accurate for some people in general. XD

I have licked a Himalayan salt lamp...not on Tinder date though...anyway they are really, really salty. Do not recommend.
You can buy a Himalayan salt lamp and then...just eat it. There's no one stopping you.
Seriously, keep these away from cats! They lick everything and their Grandma, literally even her private parts, in consent even (Granny Cat was pretty old and couldn't twist herself anymore ... this was the caring type of licking, ...), and also those lamps, or any other thing made of said salt. Which are toxic to them.

Ali is the big Kurdish dude who makes bomb-a*s falafel in town and he calls everybody "My friend!" in such a way that you honestly believe him.
Whenever I order at one of my regular places the delivery guy, an older gentleman (Greek, I think) calls me friend when I open the door 😂

"cause untold damage" is what they said at the time the Suez canal was being built. There hasn't been an engineering project in the whole history of the world that hasn't attracted negative comments.

I can't believe people lining up and getting shots at one of those car washes with 4 bays with a brush and a spray hose with a table full of syringes and a "nurse" inside the bay.

This hits home hard for me. I worked in a Blockbusters, and I used to drink Relentless on shift because I got a discount. I got so hyper once that I had to go outside and smoke three cigarettes at once to calm me. I was 18. Those were the glory days.

So me and a classmate drank 5-6 cans each and then went for an exam. The hard wooden class benches felt bouncy and the Floor felt like quicksand the whole time.
He has to make the "bloop bloop bloop" noise after chugging it and crushing the can, then slamming it on the ground.

Yep. Horse dewormer for parasites, not viruses. Would be nice if it got rid of stupid human parasites 🙄

Now it's all minion memes and neighbors b!thing about how Steve hasn't mowed his lawn in a month and how it's bringing down property values.
I Drive A Manual Because I Need To Be Forced To Focus On What I'm Doing
I drive both manual (stick shift) and automatic. What's the difficulty here?
Apparently it is driving with your a*s. I believe women are smarter than this.
Load More Replies...In the UK we have 2 driving licences. Those who drive automatics can ONLY drive automatics (not so common here, so relatively limited choice of cars) Those who pass the test with a gearstick/stickshift can drive either. And that includes both women and non agressive men.
Grew up in the UK, learned to drive manual. Then a director asked me to drive their automatic, when they were still a rarity, somewhere to pick up some stuff - it’s a loooong time ago, I don’t remember what. I kangaroo hopped most of the way there, stomped on the non-existent clutch pedal so many times, and dropped into neutral more than once. It was horrible! Now I live in North America I have become used to driving automatic. I occasionally miss the ability to box gears to slow down or speed up a lot in a hurry but, generally, they are easier to drive. My only remaining issue is when I visit the UK and rent a (manual) car to get around. It isn’t the driving in the UK that messes me up. It’s getting back to Canada and spending the next week trying to step on that non-existent clutch, while thumping my left hand off the driver’s side door.

I am really not looking forward to only automatic cars being the option. Parking in small spaces is really stressful, and I've never had 1 that was fun to drive, But I never felt the need to hump the gear stick!
lol But I are one with the machine me is machine machine is me. This is why we drive better.
Ok Elon
That's exactly what someone who's trying to cover up the secret creation of a zombie apocalyps to generate demand for flamethrowers would say
Flamethrowers are horrible weapons to use on zombies. They feel no pain and take a long time to burn, so if that's your weapon of choice you will end up having to deal with flaming zombies
I don't understand. HOW were these so funny. I was laughing all the way through
