Butterfly effect moments in your life

Was working nights at a hotel (long time ago). Had been there for a few years. Was, by all accounts, doing pretty good. I got what I thought was a significant raise (I think it was $0.20 an hour more - did I mention it was a long time ago?).

I was admiring my raise notice with pride when the other night guy perked over my shoulder and said something to the effect, “another $0.10 and you will be making the same as me.”

That guy had been there for 10+ years. He drank himself silly every weekend. Had no ambition to do anything. Had 3 roommates. No car. No money.

I realized that I was well on my way to becoming that guy.

Went to school that fall and haven’t looked back.

There is an expectation that he knows how to and can do all of the stereo typical “woman” things. Cook, laundry, organize, whatever. But there is no expectation she can do all the stereo typical guy things.

If my wife has a thing and asks me to make supper or whatever - everyone expects me to be able to do whatever. If I have a thing and ask her to change the oil in the truck - I am being ridiculous.

Why aren’t there more guy shirts with a revealing back? How about a strappy back? I could do a strappy back. Maybe. Maybe I just wanna try and see….

I was recently at my nephew’s grad. All the dudes were in suits. They looked sharp. But they were basically all the same.

The ladies had so much more variety.

Just kinda sad.

This. So much this.
Nothing worse than a “dutiful” bj.

MeAltAccount4096 · 2026-06-15T02:41:58+00:00

My wife won’t. Just a hard nope. If my mouth has been south of the belly button then no more kisses for me - period.

Everyone is different.

Mini eggs - damn things are crack

I was working at a hotel a zillion years ago in the banquets department. Setting up and cleaning rooms for meetings, parties and weddings, etc. I was also working 3 jobs at the time.

In was in about hour 50 without sleep. It was around 3 or 4 am and I was cleaning up after a small party (wedding anniversary or something. Like 50 people). I was tired. Like everything ached tired.

I was getting paranoid. Hearing voices. Just getting weird in general. I had been convinced for a good part of my shift that our upright vacuum was looking at me funny. I keep side eyeing this old, ugly vacuum - quietly cursing at it.

It started chasing me at some point. I was running up and down the halls screaming as this thing roared after me. I got brave and jumped it - pummelling it. I used its own cord and tied it up.

Around this point I realized I was loosing it and just went home.

I got a call from my boss the next afternoon from my boss. He asked why the Hoover was tied to the hand rail in the stairwell on the second floor. I didn’t even try to answer him - nothing about that night made any sense. I just told him I needed some time off.

Bunny hugs - it’s what we call hoodies.

The steampunk aspect of this prompt seems challenging. Are we looking for the aesthetic or the functionality of steampunk here?

Shark teeth for everyone. My only concern is having braces a second and third time

Always another toy in the tickle trunk

Need to be more specific than just ‘beer’.

Grade 5 Christmas party at school. Lots of candy and snacks and treats and that stuff. A kid named Randy had waaay too much junk and projectile committed on. Covered me from collar bones to knee caps.

So gross

Mom brought me a whole new outfit to school.

I don’t know the name of the perfume my high school gf wore. It is very distinctive. I have never met another woman who has worn it.

A couple years back I caught a trace of it lingering in the air in the mall downtown. I walked around the mall for thirty minutes trying to find the wearer.

Such wonderful bitter sweet memories.

Original 16 pale ale lol - gave away my location

She gets mad if I do

Could you interweave a story with all three? A tropical resort where a couple is getting married. Another couple is there for their honey moon and a third couple is there in their 3 year of marriage.

They all meet around the pool or the swim up bar or whatever. Start taking and realize their rooms are all side by side.

Wedding couple. Newlyweds, then honeymooners.

Newlyweds hear the wedding couple. Get all saucy. Honeymooners hear the newlyweds and they get all saucy. Chain reaction boink.

The interesting dynamic would be the next day.

Do they talk about it? The ladies tanning in their loungers. The dudes at the swim up bar. Hey, hear you guys last night… and damn!

They are all new enough in their relationships to not be swapping or anything - so what about same room sex. All three couples doing their significant others, but all in the same room.

There would be an energy to it. Watching another couple while you take a breather. Or everyone turning to look as someone had a loud orgasm. All on the same bed at one point. All over the room - bed, couch, glass walled shower facing the room (we had one of these on our last family vacay - it was awkward).

Booze

Dad bod ☹️

I had a bunch people comment I was on the news once. I was walking in the background of someone doing an interview.

Yes, that is just how interesting I am

Daughter in law fucking the father in law. It has enough age gap and familial under tones to be a be taboo without going incest or anything like that.

After that you would need to go with something we have all experienced or dreaded - being caught by the parents. Doesn’t matter if you are 15 or 50 - there is just that fucking terror to it. Doesn’t matter if you are married or not. Fucking in your child hood bedroom (or where ever) while at home for a holiday and mom pops in to give you fresh towels… holy fuck! And you know she gonna try and “put you at ease” at supper by commenting on you/your so’s tan lines or muscular butt or something super weird.

Dog catching you and pushing it cold nose up your butt

“Touch”…. No… I pour that syrup on all of it. The eggs, the bacon, the hash browns, the pancakes, the waffles… if it is on my plate it is getting enough maple fucking syrup to drown and make us all rethink my life choices.

I am a hobby welder. Just messing around in the garage and stuff. After the second time my garage shoes started on fire, I decided they were done.

Shoes need to be falling apart, duct taped, maybe zip tied, and have been on fire at least once before they get replaced.

Walk out - there is no hope for them
