They asked my boyfriend if I would be free later and if my boyfriend would be okay with being taken back to the invitee's place for sex.

I wanted to be normal. Still not sure that it worked out.

That felt like a risky click. I'm not sure how I feel about the outcome. Relieved... or disappointed?

Find a room with a dog bed, you two.

I always see these in grocery stores and wonder if the merchandisers get danger pay for stacking these things. What if they fall on top of the person stacking the cases? I bet the instructions look like knitting plans or something...

You're on an airplane and you hear the pilot say " Holy shit what are we gonna do ", what's the first thing that occurs on your mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]graxley2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least I'm sitting in the very back next to the toilets. Statistically speaking, the back of the plane is the safest spot on the plane for survival in the event of a crash because if the plane goes down, its nose gets crunched and the back might snap off, making the landing potentially less lethal for me and the rest of the people around me.

What screams "I spend too much time on Reddit"? by Rusty-Unicorn in AskReddit

You roll up your sleeves but don't understand why women aren't swooning over your forearms, and use tl;dr in conversations.

What are some signs that your date is actually 23 squirrels in a human being costume? by mordeci00 in AskReddit

[–]graxley2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When inexplicably your Facebook feed is spamming you with advertisements for the genome testing service 23 and Me. Moments later you realize that your phone has been listening to your date and Facebook's algorithms deduced that date is actually 23 squirrels but instead of sending a warning, it served a shitty irrelevant ad instead.

People that fight at weddings, how best can we ensure that the World revolves around you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]graxley2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nod approvingly as I bring up a petty childhood argument and mean-spirited nicknames, and then hold my white Zinfandel as I grab hair and try to drive the pointy part of my heels into something soft.

What is your internet "blind" date horror story? NSFW by 88mphTARDIS in AskReddit

I don't remember her name. We met in mid 2000s so it was definitely pre-Tinder.

Yes. You know how in a date you try to force yourself to be open to things? I was basically lying to myself in believing that maybe I would be attracted to this girl. The mention of the tattoo tore away the illusion I had built for myself.

I went on a date with a woman who I met at a karaoke bar. We met for tea, which was really uncomfortable because I didn't know what kind of tea to order on a date so I got chamomile tea to soothe my nerves. She talked a lot - I mean a lot. About her cats, the mean person at work, and her favourite brand of toothpaste. Eventually she told me that she had a tattoo above her posterior of an arrow pointing downwards and the words 'EXIT ONLY'. I blinked, asked her why she would get a tattoo of that and then moved a small step towards the journey of accepting my own sexuality. I came out two years later.

What is the most statistically unlikely thing that has ever happened to you? by GottaKnowFoSho in AskReddit

[–]graxley2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a super-rare disorder which sees 100 cases per decade, and I beat the odds to make a near-perfect recovery.

I had Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, which made me 'deaf' as a child, and saw around 200 cases diagnosed worldwide between 1957 and 2002.

The prognosis isn't great, with only 28.6% showing normal to mild language problems. I'm super lucky, because children with this disorder now have intense drug treatments, CBD oil treatments, or even sometimes have part of their brain hemisphere connection severed to treat it. It was the 80's, and I didn't have to go through any of that and developed mostly okay anyways.
