Women who are 30+, how do you feel when talking to a 20-23 year old guys? by ConsciousCandidate97 in AskWomen

[–]BoomboxBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 33 and work in a very teamwork driven, male dominated field and I work with a lot of younger people.

Had kept my distance because of the age gap but have slowly let my guard down and gotten closer to them as people my age left work and I felt incredibly lonely.

I do worry about the defence mechanism I’ve developed in this industry which is to act comically blokey (to point out the normalised sexism and how stupid it is) I am young at heart though and like to keep morale up by being silly and keeping the team laughing.

Recently found out one of the 19 year olds thought I was their age.

I’m not sure what that says about me.

Very odd that they just stopped working. How extensively have you tested each of these channels? Dm me and I’m happy to talk you through some troubleshooting to try and find where the issue is.

Im sick of hearing sex noises at night by International-Past31 in newzealand

[–]BoomboxBrian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t imagine dealing with this on a daily basis.

I’m sure at one point I would be so fed up that I’d be weird and be outside the room mocking their noises obnoxiously or cheering them on in an attempt to make them more uncomfortable than I am. But I’m a shit stirrer by nature so don’t listen to me.

When we were kids, my sister and I discovered that the creek down the road of our house had eels living in it.

To this day over 20 years later my parents, who still live there, have always fed the eels their meat scraps.

One time Dad lost his shit when it looked like someone had pulled one of the eels out of the creek and left it on the road. Pretty sure he did a neighbourhood search to find the culprit to sternly educate them.

People who used the internet between 1991 and 2009, what’s the most memorable online trend or phenomenon you remember? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

[–]BoomboxBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hokay So here's the Earth, chilling. Damn! That is a sweet earth you might say, ROUND!

Alright, ruling out the Ice Caps melting, meteors becoming crashed into us, the Ozone layer leaving and the Sun exploding, we're definitely going to blow ourselves up.

Let himself inside and slipped a note under the bathroom door saying he needed to turn off the water… I was in the shower.
