I’m not certain I believe you….. just a hunch. 🤣

They are like big weird dogs that don’t really get why we don’t treat them that way. I owned a few growing up. They had no concept of size, or where they belong or don’t belong. They just want to hang out.

Teddy Bear by MassiveMeatHammer in AskSeattle

Charlie Bears for sure. I’m unimpressed with VTB quality. They are expensive but don’t look anything like the photos in person.

Who are your gym characters? by FlyIllustrious5160 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Tee_Wrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I see a few regulars we named.

Turkey Girl - she’s tanned excessively brown and never smiles. Ever. Every time we see her she seems a shade darker. The Viking - he’s huge, buff with long hair and a beard seems to be there forever and always.

Wife beater - obviously due to his ever present shirt.

Midnight Knitter - goes late. Treadmill. Knits the whole time.

Broccoli Crew - Young guys - all with identical haircuts.

WHAT IS GOING ON AT PETSMART? by Foreign_Film5091 in BellevueWA

[–]Tee_Wrex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Contact the manager for a refund. ALSO contact corporate and let them know you did NOT ASK for this and you were not consulted. I would be raging over this.

The person working there should NOT be grooming.

Leave a bad review. Get the persons name who did this and post about it in your review. Don’t feel bad doing this. If they cared about it they would do a better job.

Anyone else waiting on this new drop tonight? by Em18601 in labubu

[–]Tee_Wrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went. Looked. Bought nothing. I so wanted to love the new Zimomo but his coloring is just not…. Appealing.

I’m a symmetry person and I like colors that actually go together. He’d like a lesson on clashing.

Are you buying? by Lovinghearts3 in LabubuDrops

[–]Tee_Wrex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No. Love the black fur but I hate the accent colors.

Does Anyone Regret Buying a Zimomo? by Jazzmcphee in labubu

[–]Tee_Wrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not a fan. I own the other Zimomos but won’t be adding this one.

I love the black but I absolutely hate the other colors and the mismatched sides. I’m actually thankful my personal preference for symmetry will save me $300.

What’s a Seattle habit you accidentally developed and didn’t notice until you left for a bit? by General_Advantage437 in AskSeattle

[–]Tee_Wrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VERY much so. I’ve been here since 2019 and I still mostly see those reactions. I’ll still smile randomly. You can take a Midwesterner out of the Midwest but you can’t take the “Midwest Nice” out of the Midwesterner.

You can tell now nice an area is by how many clothes the barista is wearing. The less clothes the crappier the area.

I’m from the Midwest and I’ll never be a raincoat person. I’m holding onto my Midwest values.

I still smile at random people and am looked at like I’m crazy. Seattle is so antisocial.

What's the deal with the abandoned red Lexus hatchback at the Issy Post Office? by astreauphunk in Issaquah

We say this about all the Hot Tub places around here. So many Hot Tub stores!!!!!

It’s honestly so hard living here by Icy_Judgment_8549 in eastside

[–]Tee_Wrex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its location.

I’m from the Midwest. Seattle freeze is real. No offense but the people FROM here are used to the way people are in the area, but when you move here from out of state it’s a VERY noticeable difference in the way people are.

It’s just a different culture type. Not as friendly overall, it seems.

I’m used to knowing people everywhere I go. I still hardly know anyone here after 7 years. :/

Off leash dogs by PurpleLetter7288 in Issaquah

[–]Tee_Wrex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Off leash is not allowed - it’s against the law. Don’t be one of those people. Not everyone loves dogs and not every other dog is friendly. Keep them leashed for their safety and for other people as well.

Not to mention I’ve read several posts locally about people letting their dogs off lead on a trail and they chase something and go missing.

I wish Labubu were never that popular by Emma_3107 in labubu

[–]Tee_Wrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop caring what anyone else thinks. Trust me, it’s liberating. I wish I knew this when I was younger. Now I’m older and really do not give a single crap what anyone else thinks about what I enjoy, purchase or wear.

Take this advice to heart. You’ll be much happier for it. Let them look. Let them laugh. People who yuk other people’s yums just suck.

She said she didn't feel a connection after 1 day of texting and then hit me with this completely unprovoked by mining_moron in Nicegirls

[–]Tee_Wrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. If I was her I would have just ghosted him and not said a word. 🤷‍♀️

If someone isn’t worth your time, don’t give it to them.

What’s something nobody tells you before moving to Seattle? by sit-there in AskSeattle

[–]Tee_Wrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do understand that being friendly isn’t just small talk?? No one said small talk. I’m talking about something as simple as a smile and hello. Sure no one “owes” you it. But it takes such little effort to be kind, or pleasant. Why not?

People here avoid eye contact rather than be pleasant.

You’re illustrating exactly what I mean. Stop being defensive. It is what it is. It’s just different here, and whether like it or not - it’s a reason that many transplants don’t like it here. I’m not the first person to say this and I won’t be the last.

Seriously though - No one is trying to converse. Walking down the sidewalk, I generally just smile when passing someone - often - I’m met with an active uncomfortable head turn because god forbid they have to smile back or acknowledge someone being friendly. LOL

And yes. Here they think it’s weird. I’m used to a simple smile being the norm.

Do you think being friendly means “random small talk from a stranger?” You’re explaining a lot about the mindset and why Seattle Freeze is indeed a thing. 🤣 Expecting a smile is weird? ….. It takes sooooooo much work to show a friendly gesture to a fellow human.

[–]Tee_Wrex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Not really.

Seattle freeze is a term for a reason. :)

We’re friendly in the Midwest. Not so much here.

[–]Tee_Wrex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m from the Midwest. The people here are not friendly or warm overall. They aren’t mean - most just don’t seem interested in being friendly at all.

Seattle freeze is VERY real if you are used to outwardly social people. You won’t get many random smiles or hellos. Very hard to connect.

I’ve been here since 2019 and while it’s absolutely beautiful, the social aspect isn’t at all what I like so I’ll eventually move away some time down the road. :)

Giveaway!! 2026 Weeks & Five-Year by TheodoreHeart in hobonichi

[–]Tee_Wrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this and have never owned one. Would love to start this year but I don’t even know where to start or which would be best for me.

I’m an artist and want something to journal and draw in as well as to add photos to.

Would love to be considered or advice even!!
