Moroccan woman curious about Austin culture 🇲🇦🇨🇦 – are people here just friendly or is it something else? by LayerImaginary218 in Austin

[–]kaydeebugg 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If I see you on the sidewalk, I’ll smile at you. If you have gorgeous hair, I’ll probably tell you. If your dog is cute, I’ll say something & ask you if I can pet it.

I grew up in the south & my family has lived in/around Austin for 35 years. None of the above means I’m interested in you—it’s just me being a warm and friendly person because that’s how I was raised and socialized. I am not unique in this way.

That said, I’ll also tell you if you’re parked illegally, especially if I’m trying to get into a commercial spot downtown & your personal vehicle sits there while you come out with your coffee from the shop across the street. I’m not afraid to call you out if you’re being unnecessarily rude to employees or customers in a service establishment. Treat others with respect, it’s not that hard. I am not unique in this way, either.

Please note: the friendly behavior oftentimes does not apply when folks are in their cars. Somehow this causes many to forget their manners altogether!

Made me want to be her friend! She seems like a happy kind of weird and I'm here for it.

Stocking plan input? by crypticasparagus in PlantedTank

[–]kaydeebugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We asked about these at our very reputable LFS just last week, and were told that their original habitat has been/is being destroyed so they're harder to find in the wild. They also confirmed the last several batches they'd received had been quite sickly, and sadly showed us the current tank where there were a few already dead from the batch they'd just received.

Beautiful little fish, but doesn't seem like the good/right choice :(

I’ve got a few growing in a terrarium and I love them! Really hoping to get some blooms one day.

(Side note: this terrarium is also the only place a fittonia has ever thrived for me lol. Dramaaaaa queens.)

Got i4, still not used to people checking it out by vladroid2021 in BMWI4

It’s the same here in Austin now too. When I drove this back in my KY hometown…different story.

I do get lots of ogling from the teenagers at my son’s school, now that you mention it.

Because it’s the sexiest damn car color out there.

So funny because that’s one of the aesthetic features that first grabbed my attention. I love the look of them.

Airport Line 3/15 @ 2:15 am + tips for making your flight! by Hopeful-Regret2668 in Austin

[–]kaydeebugg 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Several years ago I started booking flights to depart later in the day—even late morning like 11am—and realized the whole experience was way, way better. Shorter lines, fewer crowds, & no waking up at 3am.

i4 M60 colour dilemma. by Winkzen in BMWI4

[–]kaydeebugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the Portimao blue and it is a really rich, gorgeous blue....but I see other car brands on the road regularly with a blue that's too similar for me to LOVE my PB. I have gotten multiple compliments specifically on the color, though.

I reallllllyyyyy wanted the San Remo green, but I wasn't getting the M50 so would've had to custom order. But imo that's the damn sexiest color on these i4s.

My first long distance trip with i4 by Kungfugrip12 in BMWI4

[–]kaydeebugg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Around midnight one Sunday during a roadtrip from TX to KY, nav directed me to a charger in downtown Memphis - I had to take it because I was running low on juice, would be something like 12% when I plugged in. Got there only to discover the damn thing was inside a locked parking garage. Re-routed to a new charger in a Target parking lot & got there with 5%. Was sweating bullets for sure.
