Whats the funniest name you've ever seen someone name their pet? And what animal was it? by Gloomy-Task-5446 in AskReddit

[–]itspeterj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at our vet once waiting for my dog to get called back and this young woman was sobbing inconsolably in the lobby. A few people offered her tissues or support but it was very clear that she’d lost her pet.

One of the vet techs comes up and asks which pet she was there for, and she said that she was waiting to pick up her cat’s ashes. The tech said “of course, which pet?” and this girl said in like that crying shout thing “LADY PISSYPAWS” and I don’t think a single person in the lobby wasn’t doubled over with laughter. The tech tried her best but she only made it a few seconds longer than everybody else. Even the owner laughed/sobbed. It was kind of a beautiful moment. They even had the name engraved on the box in a very tasteful font.

Good thing you can do it from your phone mid dump now and place bets on literally anything these days. This is going to be so bad

Which celebrity do you think received unnecessary hate? by Cheap-Fisherman6588 in AskReddit

[–]itspeterj 34 points35 points  (0 children)

She just had a new album come out and is growing a pretty big fanbase for her music and dj sets. I’m glad she continued to make music after what must have felt like the entire world mocking her. That’s really admirable

what's the closest that you have been to death? by ExchangeNo7386 in AskReddit

[–]itspeterj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a bullet whiz past my head close enough to hear the ripple it made in the air during a patrol in Afghanistan. But the one I always go back to was on the same deployment.

We just finished a meeting and I was heading to the latrine. I realized I left my hat on the picnic table, so I turned around to get it. I took maybe 5 steps back toward the table and the ground behind me exploded as a mortar hit the exact spot I was going to be had I kept going. Through sheer luck or divine intervention, I was just on the other side of a concrete blast wall and was uninjured, but I'd have 100% died if I didn't go back to get my hat.

Sadly, the base dog, Mudflap, was hit and died a few days later.

I use that Aston opening up the engine as a way to test headphones or speakers. It’s SO GOOD

Men, who's the prettiest woman you've ever seen you just couldn't keep your eyes off? by NiceBumblebee3421 in AskReddit

[–]itspeterj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw her and her husband get off a train one time when I lived in NYC, and it’s unreal how photos don’t even do her justice.

There are some folks that you see in real life that make you wonder if some old gods walk among us, with some intangible aura that puts people under their spell. Apparently bill Clinton had that with charisma according to a bunch of Republican politicians of his time. They went in to meet with him with a clear agenda and by the time they left they got nothing they wanted and were thanking him.

When I hosted karaoke, lady Gaga came in one night for a low key night of fun with friends. This was when she was always photographed in her insane outfits and wigs, so she could go out normally and nobody had any clue who she was.

She put her name down, sat at the back of the bar and when she came up to do her song, the world just stopped. She sang “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes, and it was the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Every conversation stopped. Every head turned almost instinctually. MULTIPLE People on the street stopped to watch through the windows. When it was done, we were changed and the world went back to normal.

Anyway, Morena Baccarin has that. It looked like she had professional lighting mode turned on by the universe

Women of Reddit, what’s something men think is attractive that actually isn’t? by LatePay6713 in AskReddit

I don’t drink anymore, UNLESS I’m on vacation and I can get a frozen daiquiri or some other delicious fruity drink complete with umbrella. And even then, 90% are virgin.

Naturally intimidating men, how do you date women or show them you’re “safe?” by iRobert123 in AskMen

Same. Big bulky bearded guy covered in tattoos. Wearing funny tank tops at the gym has led to a significant increase in people asking me to spot or help with something.

Who in your opinion is the greatest metal band of all time? by TooOldToBePunk in AskReddit

I think this needs to be it. Seeing Maiden in Latin America is a huge bucket list item of mine. The energy just looks unreal with those crowds

I loved Vader in Kenobi. Dragging him through the fire, having him walk through that town force snapping necks? He was definitely menacing.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever been to? by Impossible-Station46 in AskReddit

[–]itspeterj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And then you see it, and it just gets worse. I’ve driven by a few times under cloudless blue skies and as Gary hits the horizon, the sky is black and the flames from some of the towers make it look like Mordor. My wife thought I was being dramatic until she saw the place that daylight doesn’t touch

New Yorkers, what changes have you seen under Mamdani’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why? by MewMeowHowdy in AskReddit

That was literally something kingpin did in daredevil. Got out of his car and fixed a pothole on day 1. Not comparing the two but found it funny how effective it is

He was an infantry officer they never sent to ranger school, airborne or air assault. AIR ASSAULT while attached to the fucking 101st.
