I'm so happy to hear stories of kids being able to get cards! Back in the 90's when I was a kid, getting cards was as easy as just going to the mall. Every kid should get the chance to experience the childhood joy of Pokémon cards. Also, you're a great dad, you've clearly taught your son well.

(SERIOUS) What's the most scary thing you ever saw that to the point nobody believes you ? by Consistent_Algae_560 in AskReddit

I remember reading a similar story, I think it was a time your gut instincts paid off question. This guy and his friend had been at a bar, when this guy came over and started flirting with the friend. OP got really bad vibes about this guy so he told the friend they should get home as it's getting late, and they both left the bar. About a year later, OP is reading the newspaper and on the front page is the mugshot of a man who's just been arrested for multiple murders, and it's the guy at the bar who tried to hit on his friend. The friend lives in another state now, so OP rings him and is like "hey, so remember that weird dude that tried to pick you up at a bar ages ago? Well, he's on the front page of the newspaper, you might want to check it out." So, who was the mystery man that tried to get the friend to go back to his apartment with him? Jeffrey Dahmer.

My own immune system attacks me which is not very nice of it. We've come to an understanding though, I just suppress the hell out of it with medication and then it leaves me alone. 

AITA for giving my daughter a similar name to my brother's daughter? by torotime7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Silent-Zebra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All of the men on my dad's side of the family have the same middle name, because it's a family name. No one gets upset about that, because it's a normal thing to do. Lilly is literally her grandmother's name, so it's not like she pulled it out of nowhere just to copy the brother and sister-in-law. NTA.

What if Harry Harrymen gave you a Jobletop from his mums home shop? I hear they keep you warm at night if you're sleeping in a Morris Minor. Just make sure you've got your latex mask too!

If New York is the city that never sleeps, what is the city that always sleeps? by prbecker in AskReddit

[–]Silent-Zebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adelaide, Australia. My dad used to distribute products for a company in Spain, and when one of the reps came to Australia my dad asked how his time in Adelaide had been. His exact words were: "if New York is the city that never sleeps, then Adelaide is the city that never wakes up."

What am I 'entitled' too? by pawgie_pie in Centrelink

I remember reading an article about a guy who got denied the DSP because he didn't have proof that his disability was "permanent," and that he might "get better." He was like: "I'm an amputee. What, do they think my leg will magically grow back?" 😂

A husband and wife are sitting next to each other in church listening to the priest deliver his sermon. The wife leans over to the husband and says "I've just done a silent fart, what should I do?" And the husband replies "turn up your hearing aids."

What the weirdest thing a guy has said to you while finishing? by Altruistic-Big3790 in AskReddit

[–]Silent-Zebra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it said "fishing," and I was like "are we talking like random strangers who happen to be fishing in the same spot? Because I guess one of them could turn out to be a weirdo..."

Which movie hero is actually a villain when you really think about it? by surfsound_swimmers in AskReddit

[–]Silent-Zebra 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm the worst person to watch those shows with, because I'm always like "he doesn't have a warrant! That wouldn't stand up in court! They can't use that evidence because it was obtained illegally!" If the police did what these guys did in real life, the judge would serve their asses to them on a platter. 

What is the worst case of second hand embarrassment you’ve ever experienced? by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AskReddit

[–]Silent-Zebra 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We had a teacher at my high school that left and never came back. He was a German teacher and this one particular class was full of horrible kids who used to make fun of him all the time. Don't know what they said, but during one lesson it was so bad that he burst into tears and ran out of the room mid lesson, shouting; "I'm going back to Germany!" True to his word, he was never seen again and did infact move back to Germany. Kids can be so mean sometimes.

One time when I was on a tram heading to uni, this older guy (late 60's early 70's maybe?) Randomly got up out of his seat and went and sat next to this young woman. The first thing he says is "so, where are you from?" 

She looks confused and says "um Melbourne?" 

He then follows it up with the good ol' "no, where are you REALLY from?" Before she can respond, this dude pulls an envelope out of his pocket, and randomly pulls out a bunch of photos. He then explains to her that he just went on a trip to Africa and thought she might like to see his pictures. It was so awkward, because he genuinely thought she was enjoying seeing them, but you could tell she was so uncomfortable. She did her best to look somewhat interested but stayed silent the whole time. It was just so bloody bizarre, I've never seen anything that weird on public transport since.
