The Random Thoughts Thread • Page 81

Went to the movies tonight and some guy just pulls a Chihuahua out of his shirt. Then I’m just sitting there eating my popcorn and I smell something weird. Look over and he pulled out a can of wet dog food and so every time the movie got quiet, all I can hear is the dog slurping up the food. I couldn’t stop laughing. Idk why the weirdest shit always happens when I go to the movies!!

 

Is it weird for your landlord to text you questions about your upcoming lease renewal at 4:30am?

 

I would say yes that is absolutely weird.

Unless you have a relationship with them and/or talk via text about other things (maintenance requests, etc.) with them just the texting is weird imo but at 4:30 in the morning is most bizarre. Like, maybe they sent the text so they wouldn’t forget what they wanted to ask but idk write that down and text it as a normal time? Also, depending if your landlord is someone who is usually awake at that time that then maybe that’s a “normal” time for them but if I got a text from anyone at 4:30 am my first thoughts would be: telling me someone died, telling me they’re in serious trouble and/or drunk and texting a bunch of people

 

Reading a random ass Wikipedia page and seeing that someone edited the page the day before or a few hours before even though the topic of the page isn’t something new or has had anything (that I’m aware of) recently come up and wondering what the hell made someone else come to this page AND have the energy to edit it.

Like, of all the things people are doing and someone else was just recently looking/thinking about the same topic and came to the same site as me is wild (in this case I was reading the Wikipedia on the band Vertical Horizon)

 

never expected that ending

 

Waiting for a package to arrive is the adult equivalent of waiting all night for Christmas morning to come.

 

absolutely

 

I’m getting beer delivered so waiting for the delivery and waiting to drink it makes for a double whammy.

 

I would be having panic attacks up to the minute it arrived–especially if it's bottled

 

They are and I am.

 

oh boy

best of luck

 

Okay but what kind of beer?

 

asking the important questions as usual

 

An assortment of imported lagers. I think it's China, India, Poland, and a couple Central American countries.

 

planning to shotgun any? haven’t shotgunned a beer in a minute

 

I only shotgun PBR

 

keystones were all the rage in 2006. that was my go-to. or jagerbombs

 

My beer arrived safely, no need to worry.

 

nice

 

waiting for a package myself and the anxiety is real

 

reading dopamine nation right now and it talks about exactly that. some people get so addicted to packages arriving that they just buy little cheap tchotkes to get the rush only to return them

 

I understand that far more than I wish I did

 

it also talks about some really elaborate masturbation machines which i definitely did not know was a thing

 

what a world
