I have lived in my house for 6 years. My neighbor, an elementary school teacher, can not understand/remember that my family speaks Portuguese. Anytime we have a conversation and anything related comes up she comments about us speaking Spanish. I have corrected her 37 times. Even within the same conversation I correct yet she can not grasp that Portuguese and Spanish are different languages.

Ever time she does that comment on her Canadian accent

I got talked into adopting a cat.  

I've never seen anything like it before in my life.  I'm jumping through fewer hoops to refinance my house.  An effing home visit?  What do they expect to find?  A cat processing facility.  I actually had to answer the question, "Where is the cat going to sleep?"  Fuck if I know.  It's a cat.  I just had to call my vet to give them an ok to release our current pet's medical information.  I'm not trying to be a bitch and I get that some animals mistakenly get placed in shitty homes, but it's a rescue cat.  The fact that I'm probably going to have to pay $100+ should be enough of a qualification to let you know it's not going to be eaten.

This is amazing. Thanks.

Ha!  I had a Brazilian guy on my soccer team one year.  He was used to getting the same reaction.  It was actually funnier to watch the reactions of the 2 or 3 Mexican guys on my team each time the gringos tried to say stuff to him in Spanish.

SIAP, have a Korean co-worker whose mom is elderly.  He helps her with all of her financial matters and things a good son would do.  He takes her to the bank one day to follow up on some account charges and drafts that were incorrect.  Banker asks if they need someone who speaks his mom's language, as my friend was translating everything for her.  They bring over an employee who starts speaking Spanish to his mom.   Let's just say he lost his shit.  He has a mercurial temper that is hilarious when you get to sit back and watch.  His telling of the story had us rolling.  "Why the fuck do you think this woman speaks Spanish?  Is the gotdam name on the account Spanish?"

Assumptions can have very, very bad consequences.   LOL.

For gods sake don't let them know you're into cat juggling...

Yes. Unfortunately

Without fail, every time I put a mask on for the last 11 months...I think my breath is bad and realize it's the mask after a few seconds.  

The masks have made me appreciate this phenomenon that I can't explain.  But do you know those people who are otherwise hygenically-inclined, even have a nice smile (and this is pre-pandemic masking)...but whose breath literally smells like shit?  Like not funk, or old food, or cheap beer, or tonsil stones, etc.  But legit smells like human fecal matter.  And this isn't supposed to be funny, not like they were rimming their partner before our lunch meeting or trying out for Human Centipede Part 5, but just every time you are near them talking...their breath smells like a human stool?  I've know a half dozen people like that.  Perfectly healthy people who probably go to the dentist twice a year but they have breath that smells like actual shit?  What causes that?

When I adopted a dog for my mom during a clear the shelter event, they were worried that a city dog might have trouble in the country. I had to let them talk to my mom and show pictures of where she would be staying. Nevermind that she was going from a shelter to 100 acres with her own doghouse and home cooked meals.

Maybe you shouldn’t have told them that he was going to live on a farm.

I went through this same shit trying to adopt a dog. I think it would have been easier to adopt a child.

House/yard inspector lady - “Sir, you will have to move that stack of firewood that’s against the fence. A dog could climb on top of it and jump over the fence. What would we do then?”

Me - “Call my neighbor and tell him my dog is in his backyard and I’ll be over in a minute.”

people that are squeeing about whatever this Wandavision thing is-- so it's like Marvel comic book characters pretending to be in a 50s sitcom, or something?

how could this hold anyone's attention for more than five minutes? it sounds like it might make a mildly amusing SNL sketch.

Oh who am I kidding, SNL stopped being even mildly amusing 20 years ago

I feel the same way about everything on prime time, network tv.  I can't believe people watch some of the stupid shit that is on.  Then, when one thing gets mildly popular, it gets replicated.  Masked Singer?  How 'bout Masked Dancer?

I walked into Masked Dancer being on TV the other day. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Like absolute bottom-of-the-barrel common denominator.

My neighbor's stupid fucking dog stands in the window and barks anytime we are outside. So relaxing hearing non-stop barking.

This has baffled me since I owned my first dog.  3 of my 4 neighbors have dogs and 2 of those households have dogs that just fucking bark for hours on end everytime we are outside and then I can hear them barking at one another through their mutual fence.  And doesn't that begin to break down all this bullshit we think about dog's hearing and sense of smell?  These dogs live in the same little fixed world for 10-15 years and every single fucking day...they can hear the bark of the dog next door and the voice of the kids in the other yard, and they can smell the next dog and the next family over from their yard.  And yet, every fucking day...they're like Guy Pearce in Memento, "What the fuck is that? Who are you?  Where am I?  What the fuck is that?  Who's that barking?  Who's that playing?  What the fuck?  What's happening?  Where am I?  Why do I recognize that smell from everyday I've been alive but find it confrontational?" 

It's like watching 2 schizophrenics do a team building exercise over and over again in perpetuity.  The dog's two biggest assets are Scent & Hearing, right?  And every fucking day...it's like their Tom Hanks on SNL as "Mr. Short Term Memory."  My neighbors dogs are all just saying, for hours on end, "Hey, you're Tony Randall!"

People who want to be in front on the highway...and do speedlimit or below.

 

Motherfucker, you'd best be 5 over because no cop is pulling you over for that.  Otherwise, you're just being a cocksucking bitch who needs their face slapped.

I stumbled onto the debut episode channel surfing and watched the whole thing in a whole "It's so bad I can't look away" car crash type of thing.

Ice T was unmasked at the end.  Ice T on the Masked Dancer.  That dude's fallen a long way from gangsta rap.

Closely associated with the idiot bicyclists that sometimes ride AGAINST traffic.
 

Walk against traffic, ride with traffic. This is not difficult.
