A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can't be evil, and she's absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.

Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I'll offer to let them pet the other dog who's normal, but fuck that kid, you don't get to pet any dog today.

Along with rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, dressage...

I would say this is more impressive because they don't get to choose their music nor listen to it ahead of time.

I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.

I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.

Plus I don't have to wear pants.

The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.

Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don't log in and I haven't since Boost stopped working.

I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.

Wtf? That is super gross. I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who would do it at the dinner table. I've seen my boss do it at his desk but he turns to face the corner next to his desk first.

Ime most people go to the washroom to do it, or at least make sure they're not near anyone else.

I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.

Green tea shouldn't really be strong, you're probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I'm after something light (or if I'm out of milk, which I need for black tea).

Many people simply don't understand the idea of not wanting one. I moved to a more conservative area shortly before I got married, and after I got married I got all the usual questions about kids to which I replied “lol no”. Then I was asked why I even got married. Bro, if I wanted kids, I'd have them and I don't need to get married to do it.

He carries all his books in the bags under his eyes.

This is why I don't like watching anything with my friends. My husband and I like to pause the movie/show every so often and theorise. When we talk it through we can usually figure it out, and that's obviously not fun for anyone else.

I'm Canadian and I used to have a pass like that. It was $50 at the time and valid for 5 years.

Rice with sunny side up eggs and soy sauce. Pop those yolks, mix, mmmmm.

This was my parents' idgaf meal, and as a kid I loved it both because I didn't get it often, and because it had no veggies.

I love you.

No licking!

Baths are not the enemy.

Stop acting like you're dying when I trim your nails, it's for your own good.

There is nothing to be scared of.

You should try to make dog friends at the park instead of just finding the nearest human who will pet you.

You can have that piece of cheese, I promise there isn't a pill hidden in it this time.

You don't own the sidewalk or the park across the street, it's none of your business if there are other dogs there.

You are the cutest floof in the world, I love you so much.

I prefer not to touch strangers so I don't shake hands if I can get away with it. Most people are content with a smile and wave, especially since covid. I apply this to everyone, but for context I am a woman.

Piercings and tattoos. Gaming. Not wanting kids.

I don't look very alternative so all these things surprise people if it comes up in casual conversation.

...yes, and? I don't want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don't need an “extra day free”. I don't think it's worth it. Working fewer days isn't always better for everyone.

How many times I've been right when my husband and I have differing recollections of something.

Professor Professorson?

Absolutely. There's no better feeling than knowing someone will always be there for you and have your best interests in mind. Cuddles and stupid jokes aren't bad either, if you're into that sort of thing.

Even in past relationships that didn't work out, I wouldn't say the time/money/energy was wasted either. I don't regret any of it, even if it was only to find out what didn't work for me and what I didn't want in the future.

I know you're trying to come to terms with being alone, but I truly believe love is worth fighting for, if you decide you want that. I hope you find the peace you're looking for.

I think my boss would be cool with this. I got back from vacation on Wednesday last week and immediately asked if I could take a half day on Friday of the same week.

Usually I don't have to explain anything as all time off is requested via an app but since my vacation fell during a busy period I thought I should check.

I went in the other direction and have a super king duvet for a king bed. Highly recommend going a size up.

What is even the point of having four stomachs then?

Red Dead Redemption 2. Everyone seems to love this game but I'm still on the fence about it. I feel like I'm spending so much time hunting to not be underweight that I'm not really playing the game. The controls are weird to me and I'm not sure why.

I hated Christmas when I worked in retail, and for several years after. I've only gotten back into it the past few years, and now my husband has gotten sentimental and wants to put up meaningful ornaments instead of just nice looking ones.

My family didn't have a tradition of gifting ornaments every year so I've been building up a collection of personal ornaments the past few years to catch up with him, which is a cute and fun thing to do as a couple.

I'm sorry I don't know how to help. Personally nothing beats the cosy feeling of hot chocolate in front of a fire, cuddling watching TV, basking in the glow of a lit tree. It feels like Christmas to me and I love it.

My one dog is very special. She likes to sleep with her head under the couch. She was not pleased when we got a new couch that her head wouldn't fit under. She sometimes runs into walls and falls off of sidewalks.

My other dog is entirely disinterested in toys. She does not play with them, ever.

Yeah my Catholic school allowed everyone to have whatever hairstyle they wanted. Hair dye, piercings, and tattoos were also allowed. Actually, not sure about the tattoos but I definitely had friends who had them and they weren't expelled or anything.

I'm the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I'm not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don't do her any favours.

I used to work at an engineering firm and one day I saw one of the engineers leave at like 2pm on a Wednesday and he was like, "Bye, see you next week!" He had been busting his ass to finish a project and already hit his 40hrs for the week.

I was a temp at the time but needless to say, I jumped at the chance when they offered me a real job.

Might need to note that I am ignoring Andromeda here. Personally I see all three games as one long game because the story is so involved. Maybe someone else has no problem just playing one by itself but I can't, in the same way that I'm never going to watch just one LOTR movie.

Even if I somehow managed to outrun the stampede and climb the waterfall, I could never ever manage to beat Scar. Thank goodness for older siblings.

Depends what kind of toilet or doorknob. My company definitely sells some handle sets that are monumentally more expensive than the very affordable toilets I got from Costco.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean, do you want non magical people to attend a magical school?

Skyrim

Borderlands 2

Assassin's Creed Odyssey

I probably would have picked Mass Effect over Odyssey if you hadn't specified no series. There's really no point in playing just one ME.

I like some of it. What I really like is that there isn't a specific trend that's most popular. There seems to be a broad variety of styles that are popular and everyone can just do their own thing.

I just can't get on board with wide leg pants but I'm happy to ditch the skinnies for a boot cut or flare.

I'm also going to need some elbow room in case I need to dodge anything.

I had a friend in high school who got squeamish at the sight of blood, or at least that's what we all thought. She went on to become a surgeon. Turns out, it's the idea of people being in pain that got to her. Operating on someone who's out cold was absolutely fine even if they're gushing blood all over the place, because they can't feel it.

Explain the ones that are lined with fleece on the inside.

I'm late for golf!

It's not immediately obvious in the store, though I can't say I've been looking in the past decade or so. I'm from BC and my parents used to buy it while I was growing up.

Hogwarts is not elite. Anyone can enrol if they have magical ability. It's addressed in a later book that attendance is not mandatory but nearly every witch and wizard in Britain is educated there. It's just a school that doesn't even have an admittance exam.
