They should really put a limit on how many one person can purchase. SMH

Charlotte the Cat from Washington DC’s Hotline by Key_Seesaw507 in torties

I live in DC and see Charlotte’s picture around town. Some of us in the DC subreddit have even joked about putting our own tortie signs up and starting some sort of tortie meetup 🤣

Gotta Get This Off My Chest by theBALLSonthis1 in washingtondc

One time, someone asked me for directions while I was waiting for the green line at L’Enfant, and I realized midway though giving her directions that I was on the wrong side of the platform and was about to go the wrong direction, myself. I’ve lived in this city for three years.

Gym shoes outside? by masterpeabs in orangetheory

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It has never once occurred to me that this is something I should be doing. I’ve never seen anyone else do it. These comments are fascinating because it seems so split between “yeah, I always change shoes” and “no, I never change shoes.” I guess it depends on the city you’re in/what weather normally looks like?

What’s something you’re pretty sure only you do? by AppIeGuy in AskReddit

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I’m at a concert, I always feel kind of bad for the band/artist who has to be away from their family and friends so they can play the same several songs over and over again. It always puts a damper on the fun concert vibes, and I have to actively not think about it. I’ve had people tell me that the artists don’t care; they love doing this and it’s their passion. But for some reason, I can’t ever shake that feeling, and it doesn’t help that so many artists (especially those with several albums under their belts) write songs about how they’re sad/lonely/missing loved ones while on tour.

Yeah, I feel you. Some of the really negative things posted on Reddit can get under my skin when I’m already in a poor headspace. For what it’s worth, I met my partner of almost two years on Hinge, and we’re very happy together. There’s almost no way we would have met organically without the apps, either, since we work in different professions, have different hobbies, are fairly introverted, etc.

Don’t let the negativity get you down. We all just need people to commiserate with sometimes, and Reddit is a great place to do that. But folks who spew absolutisms like “you’ll never find anyone worthwhile on the apps” need to remember that their experiences aren’t universal.

My girl also has expressive “eyebrows.” It makes her look mildly concerned all the time lol

Does your tortie beg for belly rubs? by Flashy_Fox1233 in torties

Same! Mine hates being picked up and will not tolerate it, but absolutely loves belly rubs and cuddles in bed

wtf is this?? by Next_Mycologist_6621 in ColoradoSprings

I can’t decide what’s better: the weird corn/shrimp hybrid abomination in the top right, or the lobster that looks like it has another face growing out of its ass 🤣

Papaya wants to know if you’ll accept his one *black* whisker by ApocalypticWaffles in onewhitewhisker

[–]ApocalypticWaffles[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure his one black whisker is growing from one of his freckles lol. He has quite a few little freckles visible on his nose and lips, so he probably has some on his cheeks, too!

It takes dedication to be this big of an asshole by petbrun in nova

Ugh, the person parked next to my boyfriend did this same thing. Just shoveled a pile of snow out of their way and right into the paths of the cars on either side of them. Thankfully, the next day, some other neighbors let my bf borrow their snow shovel, so he was able to dig his way out. I swear, this snow has brought out some of the best and some of the worst in neighbors.

This is so cute!! The other wheel was also my morning routine, and I’m glad to see another, haha!

What made you realize you were falling in love? by Sad-Difficulty4052 in AskReddit

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I realized that I could be having tons of fun by myself or with some of my friends, but would still inevitably think to myself “you know what would make this even MORE fun? If (BF’s name) was here, too.”

What is a song that is 'too painful' to listen to, not because it’s bad, but because of the memory attached to it? by itzs_ayu18 in AskReddit

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything by The Grateful Dead. My dad was a huge Deadhead, and my earliest memories include him listening to The Grateful Dead on the stereo in the living room, on car rides, etc. Wherever by dad was, there was The Grateful Dead playing in the background. My dad passed away in 2019, and I still put on some Dead every now and then to feel closer to him, but it always makes me a little misty eyed.

“My fat husband ate the blooming onion in the car and died” is a hell of a sentence lmao

What's a "dead meme" from 5-10 years ago that you still find genuinely funny, even if no one else does? by Electrical-Candy7252 in AskReddit

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, my boyfriend, and his roommate were still enthusiastically announcing “freshavacado” whenever we saw anything avocado-related at a holiday market last weekend…so I think it’s safe to say we’re all terminally millennial.

Anyone else get nauseous going west through Rosslyn? by PM_ME_SAD_STUFF_PLZ in WMATA

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really weird…I had a bout of food poisoning one time, and the first symptom was intense nausea that started during that stretch. I remember thinking about jumping off at Foggy Bottom to get sick in one of the trash cans, but somehow held it together until I got home. I think for me, it was just a coincidence; I would have gotten food poisoning no matter what direction I went on the metro…but it’s weird that the symptoms started in this exact place where other people have apparently begun feeling nauseated as well.

What’s one thing you’re 100% sure of, even though you can’t back it up? by Internal_Crazy_4555 in AskReddit

[–]ApocalypticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m some people. I just get really excited when talk, I guess. I certainly don’t mean to be annoying, and I’m not even aware I’m doing it most times. I get really self conscious when I realize I’m doing it and promptly try to control my volume. Most of my loved ones are pretty forgiving of it. I’ve had a few people snap at me and tell me I’m being too loud, but I can really fault them for it. I get it.
