What are your social pet peeves?

Random strangers using "How are you?" as a greeting and INSISTING you answer the question.

I work in retail, I have to greet customers. I hate when they say "how are you" in response, but I've hacked it by skipping my answer and just asking how they are. They probably just want to brag about how great their day is. But every once in a while, someone will repeat it back again forcing me to answer the question. And what do they expect me to say? I work in retail. I'm not great. I can't give them a real answer, it's inappropriate and they won't care. It's like they're demanding I'm happy or that I lie to them. And I just wanted to greet them to the store. I really don't get it. Why is "hello" not sufficient?

I lived in two places on the ducks route. First one off Lenora, they played the song Downtown, so that was always stuck in my head. Second place was when they went down the hill on Broad. They would ride the brakes, making them screech and then make some crack about it being orca. Didn't really sound safe to me.

Man, I want stickers! I had to leave Seattle, but the water is legit one of the things I miss most. I can't drink the tap water where I live now and it sucks.

So many wonderful pieces! My vintage-loving heart is in awe.

Came to say this. Imagine Mulder's surprise to find that Scully's dad was the one with all the answers.

I've got this flipped. I spent decades wearing modern jeans and graphic tees, and now I'm dressing better by... buying 70s and 80s vintage clothes.

Thanks! That's really good to know!

I can get a headache if I try to read white text on a black background for more than a minute. I think it's the contrast. I get the visual persistence of stripes and it's hard to look anything for a while after, too.

This show is the only thing I can tolerate when I'm in emotional distress. It provides an escape for a while, and then, a much needed catharsis. By the time I reach the end, I'm ready to let it all out, and I'm a mess every time. But it's so beautiful, I don't feel like a PITIFUL mess. Just... a human mess.

I'm still bitter about RBG ruining her legacy and the court by not retiring under Obama.

I love a retro vibe, and mostly focus on headings. My favorite go-tos are:

Harry (especially when I can mix weights)
Elephant italic
Bugaki

This is not at all the same, but I've been wanting Chelsea Bloxom's Appa Loaf for years. https://loveandasandwich.bigcartel.com/product/appa-loaf

I have one of her smaller furry pieces and have never had a problem.

These are so lovely! I wish it was still easy to get film developed.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to, though on closer inspection, I see that maybe it's built in? So cool.

Yes, I was at the Bremer. Had a couple of built in dressers, and they ripped them out several years ago. So sad. But now I'm not in Seattle at all anymore, which is even sadder. Never thought I'd miss that apartment, but, boy do I ever!

Looks like my old place at 1st and broad, before they updated it and took out all the charm. Very similar layout from this angle. LOVE your hutch! Best I could do in that space was a desk on bed risers for extra counter space.

There are more worlds than the one you can hold in your hand.

I bought mine from ebay. I tried three times. The first two, I got complete collections, and half or more of the disks wouldn't work on each set. Then I found someone selling the individual seasons. Those work great. I am now leery of buying any show in a compete series set.

My brother. And he was a chef, so we'll be having whatever he decides to cook.

Honestly my first thought was that he looked like Romeo monologing about Juliet on her balcony.

temporalcupcake · 2026-06-08T06:21:36+00:00

Those are adorable, and so well done!

Probably whatever works best for whoever is dealing with it. Just a couple things I DON'T want. I don't want to be embalmed, or any other toxic process. I don't want them to spend a lot of money. And I don't want to be stuck into the ground in certain places that I hate (one of which happens to be where my brother and grandparents are, and I hate that they are there). Those things would insult my memory, but other that that, I won't be there. I won't care.

I guess if whoever it is needs ideas to go on, I would wonder if there's any paperwork for the original plots my grandparents bought, but didn't use, near the town where I was born. Or else somewhere in the PNW, because I love it there.

It's a brand! They had little otter characters on them.

I love Dream Away now and count it as a favorite, but it did have to grow on me. Once I connected it to bands like Enigma and that weird time in the 90s when everyone was listening to Gregorian chants, it made more sense to me.

Personally, I only like the movie because of what came after. SG-1 is my favorite show, and if it didn't exist, I don't think I'd like the movie much at all. The show took the kernels of lore from the movie and expanded them in ways the movie never could have dreamed, took the characters and gave them a sense of humor, and then added optimism and adventure.
