Take her out to a sit-down place for a meal. Excuse yourself to use the bathroom, track down the waiter, give them your card.
That’s the classic tactic.
I am somewhat confused, are you talking about someone else in the last paragraph? You swapped the pronoun.
Yes, I said "on a date yesterday" at the start of that paragraph
This heavily implies it is not the same person, as I did not mention I was dating that dude
Further implication can be picked up when I said "...another buddy...", heavily implying the dude I was talking about was also a buddy
Me in Oblivion sneaking sweetrolls into people's pockets :3
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCU-
Oh free sweet rolls? Carry on.
Alternatively: I used to be an adventurer like you until I took a sweet roll in the knee.
Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?
SAAAAA WEEEEEET ROLLLLLLL
should be sneaking bread into that one bakers pocket instead fr
The guy that goes and crashes the game?
Please tell me you can still get arrested for this that would be so funny.
Gonna start doing this in my Fallout 4 playthrough XD
PLAY OBLIVION 🥐😤🥐
SAAAAAAA WEEEEEET ROLLLLLL
During an overtime period at work, I needed rides home from one guy for a couple weeks, and I constantly offered to give him money, but he always refused. When I finally didn't need rides anymore, I slipped a 20 into his desk, expecting to have left by the time he noticed.
I was wrong, and he (nicely) started yelling at me, insisting I take the money back. I refused. Eventually, we agreed that we would rock-paper- scissors over the 20. I won, so he eventually relented and accepted.
I regret nothing.
"Shut up and take my money!"
Ahem.
I have never heard of a person I've ever wanted to meet so badly in my life as 'queer surfer dude who looks like a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend with impeccable vibes'.
Read this whole thing, but I'm stuck on the description of the surfer dude, because it reminds me of "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers. That's just how my brain works. I'm sorry.
I reread that line several times trying to figure out if it was a reference to this song or not.
I think it was intentional, but maybe not
That's more or less what I was thinking too.
I promise it was 100% intentional lol. As a lyricist, how could I pass up the opportunity to quote one of my fav songs? 😂
Not related but I never paid attention to the lyrics and until very recently I thought the singer was discussing with this girl about his ex who successfully transitioned and is now said girl’s boyfriend, and the one other word I understood unprompted “got potential”, was about how they were good for each other.
I was sorely disappointed when I read the lyrics.
You're not the first person I've met who had a similar interpretation. The other person kept their interpretation of it even though they knew the lyrics though. That was kinda based of them.
I respect the shit out of them and will follow their example. Thanks for encouraging my gaslight gatekeep girlboss (this song) phase :3
Hell yeah. It ain't hurting anybody, after all.
Me three except I reread the lyrics and that's still kinda what I see so I'm sticking with it.
I've read the lyrics and that's still my understanding of the song. What is it supposed to mean, then?
Supposedly, it’s basically the singer trying to pick up this girl and trying to insult her boyfriend by saying he looks like a girl and that “obviously” the singer is a much better choice.
(yes, it doesn’t make sense to me either, so I’ll stick with my previous understanding. It’s also 100% better hands down, so…)
What! That's wild, I can see it now but I never would have come to understand it that way on my own. I definitely prefer the trans boyfriend interpretation, too XD
Our exes look like each other, so that means we're meant to be together
Happy Chaos' more well adjusted brother, Benevolent Chaos
It’s 35 minutes past midnight right after pride month has officially ended for me and that is…Well, reading something like that gives me some hope that maybe there is kindness left in the world. Never stop trying to spread it, even in the littlest ways.
I need to know how to look like a boyfriend AND look like a girlfriend at the same time pls pls pls pls pls pls i beg y'all
Strong Jean Valjean vibes
Am I just a miserable fucking grump or are the last two paragraphs a tiny bit annoying?
The chaos and gremlin stuff can grate sometimes, but it's harmless
Exactly. I don't find it annoying, but even if I did, it's not like they're hurting anyone by being very slightly annoying.
It sounds like we agree
I think you were being a tiny bit of insufferable grump but not in a way that’s harmless hope this helps
Sorry if I was annoying, but I’m also slightly annoyed now. In the kindest way possible, it’s not a kind thing to nitpick someone’s joy if it’s genuinely harmless. Not gonna trauma dump, but there’s a reason why this was such a formative experience at 19. I get it though, you’re probably just blowing off steam. Please be mindful that that can still burn someone.
Close enough, welcome back Jester Lavorre /j
Ah, my mother can be like that. I've watched many a standoff where she won't back down until someone takes her money.
She's a good person, as much as I shake my head about it sometimes.
They fell for one of the classic blunders!
No one who describes their own actions as 'chaotic' is anything but deeply irritating.
How should we punish these horrible, completely irredeemable people for being deeply irritating?
By doing nothing at all lmao. Did you expect me to say we should bully them or something?
I was moreso thinking we could dangle them over a tank filled with ravenous piranhas.
At poledancing class, I'm in a politeness war with a dude
I cleaned off his yoga mat one day
Another day, he had the spray bottle and cloth, I was standing on my mat, and he made sure no one else was going to pass me a different spray bottle and cloth. After a couple minute staredown, I knew I was beat
Another day, I started a conversation between him, myself, and another buddy, then when distracted, I cleaned off his mat. He did the same to me last time
Fucking asshole, I will not let him get away with this
On a date yesterday, I wasn't paying attention and she paid for me. Like we were at the counter, she ordered first because I let her, and she hit me with the "and then whatever he's having". I gotta figure out what I do next. I want it to be a shock and awe tactic of politeness, let her know immediately she will never out polite me
