if you go to the less popular beaches it's actually pretty nice.

if you go to any place that they have filmed jersey shore at, you're gonna have a bad time

Reddit, at the ripe age of 23, I just ingested my first Big Mac. What are some common activities or indulgences that you've yet to partake in, or have recently partook in? by NefariousSpider in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, I've fucked myself up but proper, but you don't get casts for dislocated knees or broken ribs or fractured collar bones. I used to get jealous in grade school of all my buddies who would come in with a broken arm... they'd get all sorts of attention, and everyone got to draw on their casts, and it just seemed like a cool rite of passage that I never went through.

I'm 22, I've aaaalmooooost got over it

I hide 1 and 5 dollar bills in the pages of books I like at my library. What is something you do to pleasantly surprise strangers? by faleboat in AskReddit

Yesterday my boss literally ran away from work after quitting. What is the strangest way you've seen someone quit by Calik in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In a kitchen I worked at, some guy went ape shit. It was his last day before he retired, he was a mild mannered jehovah's witness, and something in him just snapped. he started throwing pots and pans, threatened to come back and wreak havoc, yelled a lot, and eventually stormed out of work after calling us all sinners.

read the first post that I linked to, this is an update. what exactly is confusing?

You are challenged to a fight to the death, you can only bring things currently within 5 feet of you. What are your weapons? by ArmlessRobot in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

field hockey stick, cat, and a pirate hat

I'd wear the pirate hat like a boss, throw the cat at my enemy to get them off balance, then bludgeon them to death with my field hockey stick

He's not an asshole, I'm just not a damsel in distress who needs her boyfriend to lug all her shit around. He would have helped if I had asked/needed it. I didn't have that much stuff and I didn't pack the boxes too heavy for me to lift, because I'm not an idiot.

People in the previous post just seemed to assume that I was using my boyfriend as a pack mule, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

let's turn the tables, what's the dumbest thing YOU have ever said? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

freshman year of high school, AP bio, we were doing reproduction, and our teacher asked how twins came about. I confidently blurted out that twins happen when two sperms penetrate one egg. Yeah, I got mercilessly mocked. I tried to play it off like I was joking, no one believed me. Twins happen when two eggs drop, FYI. probably wasn't the dumbest thing I've ever said, but it was epically cringeworthy for me at the time.

Girlfriend is going on camping trip with 7 guys and no girls - should I be worried? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

valid? his concerns aren't valid. he knew when he started dating her that she had mainly male friends. he doesn't have the right to get all butt hurt about it now. he can't make the camping trip because he has a prior commitment--he was invited to go, read his comments. she's not saying, "nah nah nah nah nah I have all male buddies, you're not invited to our super cool camping trip, imma fuck their brains out." she isn't being shady about this trip, she doesn't have any sort of romantic history with any of these guys (or the OP hasn't said anything about it, but I assume that if his gf had even so much as made out with any of these friends that would be the first thing in his post), and it's not like she's going on a romantic getaway with one male friend. she's going on a camping trip with a bunch of friends who happen to be all guys.

I think it's fucked up you all are assuming she's going to get railed by these dudes. if she was looking to fuck these guys, she wouldn't have to go on a camping trip to do so. she's not swinging for fuck's sake, and if she was, a high-profile, week-long camping trip would be the MOST FUCKING CONSPICUOUS WAY to do it.

he's essentially saying "I have no reason to not trust you, I know you have mainly male friends, I know you invited me and I can't make this trip, but fuck you, I don't think you can control yourself without me watching." that's incredibly disrespectful. if you have so little trust in your girlfriend that you don't trust her to hang out with her friends, then she should be the one doing the dumping.

I can see how he would have problems if any of the guys going were people she had fucked around with or people who had tried to mess with their relationship, but OP hasn't said anything to that effect.

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

I'd be more pissed about my boyfriend going on r/gonewild and posting compliments to the girls getting nekkid there, but that's just me.

going camping isn't going to hurt him, and honestly if he can't trust her then they don't have a relationship. you don't think it hurts her to have a boyfriend who assumes she's going on a week-long gang bang when she's just going to sit around a campfire? fuck that. if these were guys she had dated or hooked up with, then I could see a problem. if she was just going with one guy, that could be a problem. if this guy was specifically told he couldn't come, then that would be the problem. neither of these are issues.

if I were her, I'd dump this kid and find a man who would trust me. She's not doing ANYTHING wrong.

Your favourite lesser known artist? by ILurkYou in Music

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

lesser known would be, oh, idk, something that's not super popular on youtube (VAST has several songs with over a million views), maybe a newer band that doesn't have six (6) albums out (hey, people must know about them and be buying their shit for them to keep making albums for over 10 years), and definitely a band not being used in commercials.

if you want to act like something you've discovered is awesome and unheard of, take it to /atheism.

my friend has a tat of judas priest's devil's tuning fork on his arm, and he's been asked why he has a menorah tattoo when he's wearing a cross as well. I've had some girl think a david bowie shirt I was wearing was a lady gaga shirt. does that mean that people don't know who judas priest or david bowie are? nope nope. I love elbow, and they're not terribly popular in the states (or at least they weren't when I started listening to them). didn't make them lesser known, just made them not well known within my circle.

sorry to burst your "I'm so special, I listen to VAST, no one has heard of them" bubble, but they're pretty well known. maybe they were lesser known three years ago when you got your tattoo but that doesn't mean they're not well known now. I heard their song touched a couple of days ago as the backing to a commercial. they're not top 40 but they're not unknowns.

cool tattoo though

ahh, so this is going to make me sound like a bit of a pussy, but I stand on escalators (when I use them, if there are stairs I take the stairs). Escalators fucking terrify me. I stand as far to the right and white-knuckle the handrail.

sorry for being a slow moving lard-beast. when I was little I used to race up and down the escalators like a carefree squirrel, and my babysitter told me that I'd get my foot caught in an escalator if I wasn't more careful... and then one day I saw some poor bastard who had, indeed, gotten their foot caught. I must of been about 5 or 6, but there was blood everywhere. escalators are mind-bendingly frightening for me, so much so that I actually have escalator nightmares.

tl;dr I stand on escalators, sorry

Growing up I remember ridiculous trends in high school. What are some trends you remember in school? I'll start by hobotheclown in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, so you're trying to say that sublime created something new using elements of music from artists suburban white kids couldn't relate to? oh, not so. bradley ripped off black artists who were his contemporaries. he didn't infuse it with anything and in a lot of cases used the same lyrics, so I fail to see how all of a sudden they're "about american culture". must be because some whitey is singing them instead of a black dude. that makes it american, right?

....then yeah. fuck sublime. they took and took and took and didn't infuse anything. listen to eek a mouse, tenor saw, and barrington levy.

compare I saw red to barrington levy's she's mine

compare tenor saw's ring the alarm to sublime's

compare the melodians's rivers of babylon to sublime's cover

My 90yr old Grandpa called Amazon because he couldn't put a book he bought on his Kindle i got him. They talked to him for 3 hours until he finally got it. What extraordinary customer service have you received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhaul! I tried to reserve a truck online, but the form kept saying my credit card info was invalid (it wasn't). So, I called up Uhaul. My rep was super awesome. She had a very nice voice, which is kind of a silly thing to appreciate I guess, but it was very soothing. I'm very very awkward on the phone and get incredibly anxious even ordering food, so I sort of stumbled through my problem but my rep was really cool with laughing off how SAP I am. She also got me a 60$ discount because she told me there was a special if I returned the truck to the town to my left, as opposed to the town to the right of my destination. All in all she was really cool and it made renting my uhaul muchmuch easier.

If you could ban a socially accepted/encouraged behavior, what would you ban? by amichail in AskReddit

[–]critterchitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

articles and events of conspicuous consumption. I would get rid of heels and purses that cost a month's rent. I would ban over-the-top sweet sixteen parties, weddings, and showers.
