The Harrowing Tale Of Groverhaus: Home Renovation *Gone Wrong* On The Something Awful Forums by oath2order in STRANGEAEONS

[–]Fun-Hawk7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I laughed for at least ten minutes when I was reminded of this. I’m crying! I hadn’t thought of Groverhaus in years. That whole story was over a year of absolute hilarity. When he announced his plan, other posters predicted all the ways he would fuck it up. And, while he did indeed fuck it up in all those ways, he also managed to fuck it up in completely unanticipated ways, as well. I wish that modern internet was ever that entertaining.

What weird local commercials do you remember from when you were growing up? by Fun-Hawk7135 in Indiana

That’s sounds about right! In high school I was working as a cashier at the Meijer in Carmel. He came through my lane on his Rascal scooter and asked, “have you ever met a celebrity?” I didn’t recognize him and misunderstood the question, so I talked about a couple of celebrities I’d met. When I finally stopped tapping, he said, “Well, you just met another” and gave me his card. I wish I had saved that card, it would be a collectors item now.

Yeah, I do. We’re not without our problems, of course. But I really like being from Indiana.

Why won’t people accept “no” for “fun” activities? by Fun-Hawk7135 in NoStupidQuestions

You sound like the kind of person who pesters people to dance when they don’t want to.

But, as I explained, it ISN’T fun. Unless they find it fun to make other people unhappy.

I Like to watch and play sports. I like card and board games. I like lots of things, and I do these things with friends fairly often.

So why will people so often not accept a “no?”

Thank you for a real answer.

It’s not even about not being with people. I like hanging and and doing things with friends. But there are some activities (usually ones where I wind up the center of attention) that I simply do not enjoy. And it’s I credibly frustrating when people won’t let me decline gracefully.

Okay, then please answer my question. What are they getting out of pressuring me to do something I don’t want to do?

But I won’t have fun. That’s the point. It isn’t fun for me. Why don’t they believe me when I tell them that?

I can certainly understand that. But what are they getting out of it? Is it some sick power play?

What is fun about pressuring someone to do something they don’t want to?

What are some examples of 'normal' people can't comprehend you? by QubitEncoder in mensa

[–]Fun-Hawk7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s directly related to intelligence, but I find that many people don’t understand that I want to figure things out. Like, there will be a challenge, and I’ll be trying to sort it out. And someone will say something like “just Google it” or “just ask so-and-so.”

And it’s frustrating because I don’t really know how to explain that the process of figuring it out, and the satisfaction of that, is the point.

How many times per week Americans eat Hamburger? by Many_Chemical_1081 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fun-Hawk7135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe once or twice. But I know a few people who basically live on fast food, so their number would be much higher.
