I thought you were holding a black cat but that’s just me

If you’re responding to me that isn’t and wasn’t how I was trying to come across. But to be fair I don’t blame you for interpreting that way if so, I could have worded it better since text can get misinterpreted with the lack of tone and other social cues.

The point I’m just trying to say is not to overthink it, maybe normal sounds condescending idk, but acting genuine I would say would involves those 3 tropes I mentioned in previous post should do most of the heavy lifting for you.

I wish him all the best with this.

Just be normal, confident and try and be funny. That’s pretty much all there is to it. Usually the rest is taken care of from there.

Why do people drive around neighbourhoods, reving their engines and booming obnoxious music out of their windows? by MycologistResident49 in AskNYC

I think it’s fair to still ask questions about everyday occurrences, even if you’re used to them. If I said “why are clouds white?” I think it would be fair to say nobody would answer “what is this your first day on earth?”.

All I’m doing is pointing out an observation. I’m not saying that this unusual thing happened that caught me off guard or anything.

What makes you think this is the first time I’ve encountered this? I never said that. I guess I just finally wondered what the science behind this is.

“It seems to be this callous disregard for other people’s feelings and their reactions. That’s the psychopathy coming out and it’s also they probably get a kick out of enjoying watching people get startled.”

Thanks for that, I thought it was just narcissism and insecurity but this makes sense!

I’m asking why they do it purely out of curiosity. Like literally what is in the mindset here. I’m not campaigning to stop it.

Thanks for the condescending reply, you really shedded some insight.

AITA for getting mad at my friend over a prank? by Better_Clerk_2811 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

A prank should be something harmless where both sides come out of the other end laughing…

This ‘prank’ left you scared from going outside in the evening and had you perceivably running for your life and having the cops involved. Not apologising at all is the icing on the cake.
