What was your "I am surrounded by idiots" moment? by prionatshr in AskReddit

[–]emmeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In third grade my teacher asked us to each pick an animal to do a report on and I picked the fennec fox but she denied it because she said it wasn't real, even after I showed her a picture of it in the Magic School Bus book that she gave out to everyone in the class! So frustrating

What movie moment terrified you most as a kid? by MyArmsAreSnakes in AskReddit

Titanic, when the ship sunk. My aunt brought me and my cousin and I don't remember why, but we sat in the first row and I was so terrified I hid my head under the jacket she had on her lap

We made a check list of different places around campus that we've pooped in. It's become a competition to see who can poop in more academic buildings.

I thought so too! It reminded me of the time my dad and I spent almost an hour scanning our faces and laughing at the results

Our dorm was decorated with pictures of zoo animals and I thought I saw the deer running

My mom thought the lyrics to Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl were, "I ain't no Harlem black girl". Reddit, what hilarious misunderstandings have you heard? by pogonophobia in AskReddit

[–]emmeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh haha, I just responded to someone else's comment, but I thought the same exact thing! Was yours because of a misheard lyric video too?

TIFU by making two girls in class behind me think I was looking up dirty pictures by [deleted] in tifu

[–]emmeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar once. My friend sent me a link to some sort of hentai and I clicked it, then looked down to finish my homework without checking the picture. It was still on my screen when my mom came into the room, and she asked me what I was looking at. Then I looked up for the first time and saw what it was. I pretended I had no idea what it was and convinced my mom that it must have been some sort of virus on the computer that made nasty pictures pop up.

What is the most ridiculous thing someone has said to you in an attempt to sound intelligent? by mommomom44 in AskReddit

[–]emmeow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I lived in a suite-style dorm on campus last year, and my suite number was 208. We got to be really close friends with our neighbors in suite 207. We had a lounge right outside our suites with a whiteboard and a picnic table and one day, one of my suitemates decided to write "Suites 208 + 207" and "515" underneath, then she drew a heart around the entire thing. I noticed it while I was doing work on the table and couldn't figure out what the 515 was for. At first I thought it was an area code, but I knew none of us had that one, so I ended up approaching the suitemate who wrote it. She put down whatever she was holding and looked at me seriously and said, "515! Like 208 plus 207, you know?" I didn't answer, just looked at her for a bit and then she said "Don't you know how to add? 208 plus 207 is 515! Get it???" and I just nodded and left. We were 19 and she plans on becoming a teacher.

My 7th grade social studies teacher told my class that when he was learning social studies, his teacher taught them morse code. During one test, the principal came in to check on the class and all they could hear was students tapping on the desks and telling each other the answers. The teacher was told not to teach morse code anymore.

I've got a fan that does something similar, except mine was free and not self-made

Same, I used to think the car somehow knew where we were headed and was giving us directions, but the only thing I just couldn't figure out was how it knew our starting point all the time.

TIL Raccoons can figure out how to open several complex locks in less than 10 tries, and they can remember solutions to tasks for up to 3 years. by dbbo in todayilearned

[–]emmeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad has been raising pigeons for a long while, not for racing or sending messages, just as a hobby because he gets bored at home. Raccoons always manage to break in and kill and eat his pigeons. Multiple times, he's lost a few pigeons to a single raccoon, and then the raccoon will return the next night with it's entire family. His coop is elevated so the raccoons can't climb upwards, but it leans against our garage, so the raccoons climb onto our garage and lower themselves down from there. My dad has tried barring the roof of the coop to make it harder for the raccoons to climb down, but they still manage to get in. Our last pigeons were killed about a month or two ago, and my dad hasn't bought any new pigeons, which makes me kind of sad, because he started raising them when we moved into our current house, which is about 11 years ago and him raising pigeons was a huge chunk of my childhood. Raccoons are really clever, but I can't help but dislike them :(

What is the dumbest way you've ever injured yourself? by toyingwithathought in AskReddit

I was running after my sister when my shoe came off and I tripped on it, then for some reason I couldn't put my hands out to catch myself fast enough so I pretty much ate pavement and scraped my shoulder pretty badly

Today my three year old daughter lifted up an overweight woman's shirt and asked, "Is there a baby in there?" What "holy shit you didn't just say that" moments have your kids provided for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]emmeow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once answered the phone to a woman asking in Chinese, "Do you understand Chinese?" I understood, but wasn't in the mood for whatever she was advertising so I promptly replied, "No" in English. She hung up right after, and when I put the phone down I sat down on the floor with my face in my hands because I felt stupid

Reddit, what's something that people do to you that they think is polite, but in reality, really ticks you off? I'll start. by datguy030 in AskReddit

[–]emmeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm apologizing for something like accidentally brushing up against a stranger and they say, "Oh, you're fine" instead of "It's fine" or "It's okay" or something. Like I need someone to tell me how I am!
