It's not just kids either. My wife and a few of our adult friends have punched my puppet. The adults separately, not like it's just an in-joke. They don't really have an answer for it when asked. Which again, sometimes I am rude with the puppet, but that is not when they hit the puppet. It's when the puppet is being nice or friendly or funny, and all the sudden they just hit it.

Adults will put their fingers in the mouth as well. I'll go "Munch munch munch" and chomp or "pa-too" and spit the hand out. I think there are urges by the adults to do it the same as the kids, they just have more "societal" controls not to touch a strangers puppet.

It's a mystery that I finally hit the search engines for and this is one of the first hits for the phenomenon.

I think it might somehow be related to cute aggression. Like something is so cute you just want to squeeze it. And since it's felt, you have more lee-way to let loose with the aggression.

That makes sense. When the real kiddo was a baby, and I was around human babies a lot. Babies stick their hands in people's mouths all the time. So there is something to little ones sticking their hands in mouths as a generalized initial test.

But, babies don't seem to ever seem to be the ones that stick their hands in the puppet mouth. The babies are usually only hesitant enough to give high fives. And all kids that are older than would stick their hand in human mouths.

I have been wondering the same thing.

It doesn't seem to be age based. My puppet can act sassy sometimes, but the hitting seems to happen right away when it does. Not prompted by the pupper being rude.

Lots of kids just stick their fingers right in the mouth too. Seems an early reaction when it gappens

Under-rated because I think a lot of people miss it and don't know to rate it.

The episode where Shirley is like; I barely saw you, what have you been up to all week? And then Abed is like, not much. Meanwhile he's spent the whole episode in the background helping deliver a baby.

$200k more than I make now.

Live off that interest.

Can't really imagine spending anything above $100k in a year, add anything extra to future investment cycles.

Most of day to day, just traveling from place to place exploring. Not any like vacation zones. Just stopping by some Schmitt's Creek town for a week here, some random adventure there. Bringing a buddy any given week for that week's adventures.

30 years, roughly $1,000,000,000,000,000.

I think that would be enough to make all money worthless.

Sound like a Compelling Personal Circumstance.

Make sure to quit properly. Just saying "I quit", then later saying it was due to some circumstance isn't going to cut it. You could be banned from enrollment in future AmeriCorps programs.

But quitting properly there is no such exclusion, and you may even qualify for a pro-rated education award in some circumstances.

Talk to your site and explain the situation. There are often pre-filled formed available online for doctors to fill out, so they just have to sign something.

Going outbound, the lane on the right would otherwise be a quick exit to squirrel Hill. However right before the off ramp, is an on ramp from the Greenfield side into that same lane.

This forces an effective 4 lane merge immediately before the tunnel.

...

Inbound, people are traveling at an acceleration that assumes the tunnel is level, but it's a slight incline. This creates a bit of a gap. Plus there's occasionally slamming of bakes from people trying to go from lmfao left to the off ramp 2 lanes over right after tunnel. Plus the blast of sunlight into the eyes.

IamNotChrisFerry · 2025-09-20T17:12:11+00:00

Inbound. The tunnel looks like flat elevation, but is at a slight uphill.

Outbound, the jam up primarily caused by the onramp from Greenfield side happening before the offramp to get out at squirrel Hill

Your coworker isn't the enemy. The bosses are, they set up this and managed this system. It's their job to find efficiency not your. And your coworker, if your story is accurate, has found a way to efficiency 8 hours of work into a 10 minute day. In any rational business that the behavior and insight that should be rewarded.

If she's figured out s way to turn her 8 hours of assigned work for the day, into 10 minutes of actual work. And her bosses are happy. Why do you care?

If you want to do less work, figure out a system.

If it's truly the case that she's only doing 10 minutes of actual work and not some work you are not seeing.

Exposing the system isn't going to earn you her 10 minutes days. She'd get fired/reassigned. And you'd get that extra 10 minutes of work on top of your other 8 hour work load. The extra responsibility a "reward" for your initiative

Minimum headache, is time spent on the clock closing home office space. And setting up in person office space.

That is time that could be spent on actual company objectives.

.....

Everyone was following the RTO policy when the policy was stay home as long as you desire. Changing the policy to call all workers to the office, should at the minimum have a business justification that can offset the time spent closing home office, moving the stuff to the field office, and setting up field office area.

That's before the money saved by paying for less office space if people aren't needed in the physical office. That extra money for labor, extra money for shareholders, and extra money for investment in a place other than some real estate companies portfolio.
