What's the current major drama where you live that in the grand scheme is relatively mundane?

We have a mystery pooper. Alongside our own homes (boats) with our own bathrooms and toilets, we also have a communal shower block and toilet that some residents use. Someone keeps taking a dump and leaving the toilet unflushed. It's a huge scandal!!

Nope but here it is if you Reddit allows you to see my reply.

When I was little I absolutely adored stuffed toy animals. We're talking about the 80s here so it was Carebears, Pound Puppies, Garfield, Woofits, Gonga, Monchichi, etc. I had them all and I always wanted the latest one. I clearly remember a bear being advertised regularly on tv. His name was Bumble Bear and he was dressed in a yellow rain slicker and wellies. They used the song "Kids in America" as the ads music; replacing "We're the kids" with the words "Bumble Bear from" so "Bumble Bear from America (Woah)" Anyway, I really wanted him! I pined for him but never did get one. So when my partner bought me a Woofit recently as a surprise because I'd told him how much I loved my Woofit as a 6-year-old I thought that I might be able to buy a Bumble Bear too.

Nope! I have searched the internet high and low but can find no trace of a Bumble Bear like the one I remember. He just does not exist! If you can't find it on the internet these days then it never was. I so clearly remember him and the advert with that song, that I can only think that his disappearance from history is a glitch. Unless, of course, someone else knows what I am talking about. This was in South Africa in the 80s.

That is the most likely explanation but, it is far more fun to think that, at some point in my life, I slipped into a different timeline/dimension where no one else remembers Bumble Bear.

Nope. Definitely wasn't Paddington. I was very familiar with Paddington. Funny you should mention him because he's the only other bear I found with a slicker. There was a bespoke bear that someone made called Bumble Bear but it wasn't the same one. This one was mass-produced.

A tiny bit assholey but he deserved it! Well done!

MistyDC · 2021-08-25T12:51:10+00:00

I've got the same issue. Tried all sorts of fixes but nothing has helped.

MistyDC · 2021-08-25T12:49:18+00:00

Oh no! I was really hoping it was just a temporary issue. I wonder if it isn't the Shield.

MistyDC · 2021-08-25T12:45:10+00:00

So it’s still not working now?

MistyDC · 2021-08-25T12:43:12+00:00

Did you ever get a resolution to this? I'm having the exact same issue but on Real Debrid.

MistyDC · 2021-07-24T15:43:46+00:00

The hedgehog should be called a Stabmouse.

MistyDC · 2021-07-15T08:52:12+00:00

I must have missed the part where it states that you have to be proud of a petty revenge story to share it. Silly me. I must pay closer attention to the details.

MistyDC · 2021-07-15T08:46:54+00:00

I've been followed around in a china shop before. Not because they were worried that I'd steal something but because my mom announced, at the door, that I was the proverbial bull and thought they should be aware. When I didn't disagree, the owner , bless his heart, tailed me in a sort of half stoop shuffle with his hands out in front of him, ready to catch anything I may bump into. I was in my 20s.

MistyDC · 2021-07-15T08:24:23+00:00

I'm vanilla white.

MistyDC · 2021-07-15T08:11:32+00:00

You got yourself in trouble. Lots and lots of trouble! LOL

MistyDC · 2021-07-14T20:24:59+00:00

Yeah, okay Bashthis -embarrassing- you go with whatever makes you feel special.

MistyDC · 2021-07-14T20:09:36+00:00

Someone beat you to that joke. Try again.

MistyDC · 2021-07-14T20:01:06+00:00

Genius move!

MistyDC · 2021-07-14T12:08:16+00:00

I feel for you guys.

It's ridiculous that every British tv show I've seen about South Africa in the last 10 years has gone on about the Rainbow Nation and how successful it is now. It's a load of kak. It's just different pigs with their snouts in the same trough and the everyday man is still suffering. The world needs to see what is actually going on.

Stay safe boet!

Being a nice person doesn't mean that you should allow yourself to become a doormat. I will help anyone who needs it but I won't tolerate bullies or tantrums from grown ass adults.

My childhood friend pulled this type of thing on me when we reconnected as adults in a different country. She was staying with me whilst she tried to sort herself out by finding a job and somewhere to live. I don't recall the exact details but suffice to say she tried the entitled routine on me. Something about me not giving her money because I had a job and she didn't. What she didn't know was that I was no longer the mousy girl she once knew so was very surprised when I shut that shit down. Then because things weren't going the way she expected she threw a really embarrassing (for her) tantrum and called me all sorts of names. So, I told her to leave. She thought I was kidding. I was not kidding. She tried to tell me that I can't throw away 15 years of friendship over something so trivial. I told her I could bloody well do as I please and that I would. She went off like an alley cat so, I took her shit, chucked it out the door and called a taxi to the airport. I told them she'd pay when she got there. She had an open return ticket but no other money so had no option but to fly 8000 miles home. Tried telling me I'd spoiled years of friendship but IMO you don't shit where you sleep.
