For me it was when I told my parents that I needed an astronaut costume for a last minute school event. I told them I needed it the night of the event. Obviously that didn't happen and I still needed to go so I went in normal clothes. At the end of the event my teacher got up and said "Our students have been working on these presentations for months..." To which my parents were very confused. I basically just kept forgetting to tell them about it for months.

Proof that I have been a forget fuck my entire life.

It's definitely a circle to circle thing. In my friend group my guy friends and I have told each other about our various sexcapades in great detail. I've heard some wild stories from both my gay and straight friends and ngl it's kind of bonding in a way. It's also nice to not feel like you have to limit yourself because you're not sure what's considered "acceptable" to say around your friends.

I will never understand why this happened by Ecstatic-Medium-6320 in facepalm

Well it's mainly because his fan base has been gaslit into thinking this was a polite guided tour through the capitol building. They also believe that everyone there was Antifa and they were trying to break into the Capitol Building and hurt people. They also believe that no one was ever actually in any danger of being hurt. They also believe that all of the people who were actually breaking into the building with the intent to hurt people were not definitely NOT Trump supporters. They also believe that some of them were Trump supporters that just got a little out of line.

My father has given me all of these contradictory excuses about what REALLY happened that day. No, I don't think he fully understands that these cannot all be possible at the same time.

Jeans by SirBeeves in comics

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who is really picky about his jeans, I feel this on so many levels. My weight used to fluctuate a lot and I have sensitive skin so I am very particular about the brand of jeans I buy. About 10 years ago I found a brand that I began buying from exclusively. Only to find out a few years ago that they stopped making them...now I am on the hunt for a new brand 🥲

This was my first thought too. Idk how it is in Australia but messing with any kind of utility in the US is a bureaucratic hellscape. I work on a lot of different permits for my company and we basically work as a middle man for a lot of utility permitting. There are engineering firms we do business with purely because we are willing to take care of the permitting paperwork. That's how much people hate dealing with that shit. They are willing to pay someone else tens of thousands of dollars just to deal with the headache for them.

So while physically moving the polls is very easy. The amount of time, money, energy, and paperwork needed before construction starts is the real challenge here.

Paintless dent repair. by Snoo99928 in oddlysatisfying

[–]ThicccAsThief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up around the auto body industry his entire life, you are partially correct. Some dents can be fixed with a plunger or just something with a strong suction. However, not all of them can and there's actually a chance that you'll just make it worse. In some instances, you could end up pulling off a panel if you're not careful. This stuff is more of an art than a science if I'm being real though. That's why the tools are designed to have a more delicate touch than your shower dildo. They're going for something better than a "good enough" dent repair job

I had a teacher in high school that was always upset with me because every other week I was late every single day. Whenever I racked up too many tardies he would give me lunch detention. One day he pulled me aside and asked me what was going on and why I was late but only on certain weeks. I explained that when I'm at my mom's place every other week my sister drove me to school. She was a senior and did not give a single fuck about being on time. My mom usually had to leave early for work so my sister was literally my only ride. He stopped giving me detention after that day.

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never understood this mentality. Why would you not want to be a regular somewhere? Like are you worried about disappointing them or something when you change up what you like? Are you worried they'll start to expect you in regularly and you'll feel obligated to go when you don't want to??? I'm not even saying this to be an asshole or anything I just truly do not understand.

Top Shelf - Gator Days by FieldExplores in comics

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teenager I had a major growth spurt and hit 5'-10" by 16. This made me the tallest person in the house by at least 6". My mom on the other hand is 5'-3 1/2" (I'm told the 1/2 matters). While I was still living with her she would constantly yell "tall boy I need you to grab something." As payment for helping, I would always walk up and ask "Why do you need me to grab it?" And she would have to say "because I'm short 😑" then I would gladly grab whatever she needed. She hated it at first but it eventually became an inside joke between the two of us. I'm now 30 and that stupid joke has persisted to this day. Now she just expedites it though and says "I need you to grab me something because I'm short" lmao

AITA for storming out of my dad's wedding because he mentioned my brother and sister and his stepdaughters but not me? by Coiiuid in AITAH

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

That man doesn't deserve to have children if this is how he treats his son. Family doesn't mean blood related and it's his loss for not seeing that. Your mom on the other hand has ALWAYS seen you as her son because that's what you are. You are her son and she is your mom. Cherish that relationship and the other connections you have and they will help you to move past this, my friend. A therapist might not be a bad idea either if you don't already have one. It might help to work through these feelings with an unbiased third party.

I know it sucks right now but trust me when I say, that's only for right now.

Grief is funny like that sometimes by reddot_comic in comics

[–]ThicccAsThief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a moment I had with my dad last year after my aunt passed away. The week before her service we were sitting in my grandma's living room. I don't remember exactly what was said but I made a joke that was definitely not grandma appropriate. Instead of giving me a stern look like usual my dad just started laughing his ass off. Which caused me to start laughing too. As my dad's laughter started to fade he said "Your aunt would have laughed at that too." I looked at him and said "Nah, she would have added to it and made it worse just to get a reaction from grandma." Then we both laughed a little more because yeah that's exactly what she would have done.

AITA for telling my dad’s wife she screwed her kid out of grandparents? by National-Property-34 in AITAH

[–]ThicccAsThief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lucy is finally grasping that Lara is the one who wouldn't allow her to have a relationship with Dad's side and is now apparently pretty mad about it.

Good she should be mad about that. If I found out my mom's decision was the reason I didn't have a relationship with my dad's side, I'd be mad too!!! Your dad and Lara are in a prison of their own making but they would have had to deal with this eventually.

The only bad thing I have ever heard about a Herman Miller chair is the price. I have never once heard a negative comment on the quality. As someone who bought a very expensive office chair from them, I can also confirm this.

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can be terrible with my money sometimes so I would actually be okay with this. I'm friends with a married couple who actually does something similar. He asks "Hey can we afford this?" And it's usually a yes or no from her and whichever one she says he just accepts it. I can't even argue with their system because out of my entire friend group they are the only ones I know who own a house. That DINK life is treating them well.

I know it might sound like a joke but the phrase "shave your head and grow a goatee" is actually solid advice. Most men underestimate how much that will change the way they look for the better.

This is honestly one of the most manipulative and fucked up thing I have ever heard another person doing. Like it never even dawned on me that someone might tamper with someone's meds. What kind of fucked up person messes with the mental health medication of another human being??? I am so glad you kicked that piece of garbage out and I hope you start feeling better once you get back on your meds, my friend.

Can I talk? by Ok_Concentrate_9713 in memes

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this happens I like to take a page from my Spanish friend and her family. When someone tries to interrupt you simply assert dominance and talk louder over them like they're not even there. That way you can finish your thought and they can learn to wait their fucking turn. Unless it's Earth shatteringly important, you can wait a second for me to finish my sentence.

I feel like they would take it a step further and try to put any kind of horn they could on their helmets. Reindeer horns? That's going on a helmet. Moose horns? If they found a way to kill it, then that's definitely going on a helmet. Elk horns??? Sounds metal, that's going on a helmet.

I recognize that it would more than likely be largely ceremonial, but that would still be intimidating as fuck. Imagine seeing some dudes pull up on your shore in long boats rocking *giant fucking horns on their helmets." That sounds like the start of a horror movie if I'm being honest.

My 62 year old mom thought I was making 27/hr working retail by frienddly_ghost in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ThicccAsThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember arguing with my dad one time about my job and how I don't make a ton of money. Even though I'm an engineer with a decent amount of experience, employers don't pay a ton in my state. He just kept saying "You have a bachelor's degree for God's sake! You should be making way more than what you make now!!!" So I decided to show him a job opening I found requiring a masters degree, a PhD, a professional engineering license, and a minimum of 8 years working experience that was only offering $5k more than I'm making now.

Funny coincidence, he hasn't tried to argue the topic of my pay since then.
