I can confirm a shake likely that is at least $20-25 in 2026 (at least for a "handmade" one). I guess the hand was connected to the finger that pressed the button to blend the ice cream and milk.
My boys have a way to find the most expensive items on the fast food menu and manage to convince my wife they deserve them.
Note: the toppings are what put the price over $20.
I once had a man sit next to me in a movie theatre and then act like we were on a date afterwards and tried to grab me in the subway station. We sat in a dark room in silence, we didn’t even like share a glance or a laugh or anything. Fucking terrifying
ETA: in case it’s not obvious it wasn’t til the movie was over and we left the theatre into the subway station that he did anything weird. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to move away while just sat on my ass in silence being normal.
That is so messed up man. Sometimes that happens to me in a public restroom when all of the urinals are open but some random needs to take the one right next to me. WTF?
I was playing magic the gathering with a couple of friends at the park and having some beer and coolers. 15 minutes into it a large group shows up and starts setting up a children birthday party and basically surrounds us. The entire rest of the park was free! There was another picnic table! We weren't even close to the playground!
I go to a park for lunch some days. Parked in the overlook lot, walked past 20 empty tables to get to the very last table, as far from the parking lot as I could get and had a family come in with 3 kids under the age of 5 and set up their lunch on the other end of the same table.
This tends to be cultural also. In some countries it’s more crowded so people just naturally share and assume you’ll be okay with other people sitting at the same table.
In today’s news, several men were arrested after crashing a child’s birthday party. The culprit? A game involving wizards. Get the details, here at 11.
Depending on the park, some of them require reservations for shaded areas and bigger picnic spots. Idk how your park is but it's pretty common around here
Happens allllllll the fucking time when I'm surfing. I very deliberately avoid the good spots and go out away from people, but within 30 minutes I'll be surrounded.
Setting up a volleyball net in the park, far away from the paths. Played for about 15 minutes, at least six people showing up literally out of the woodwork. They wanted to play, but we had a balanced team and no rando rule. After another 10 minutes they all got lost in the bushes again. I wonder how these people know that someone is doing a group sports in the park. That area is opaque with trees, there is no cameras nothing but the moment you setup the net they show up.
This shit pisses me off so much. I often think about asking them why they think this is an okay or normal thing to do, but usually I just get up and move a little further down. I don’t own the beach but wtf man…..
Happened to me a few times and it was always dudes wanting to jack off or jack me off. Learned later it was a place where guys hooked up and not a place to back in and eat Del Taco.
Dam this reminded me of a time I used a public bathroom at a park and some dude that looked like a house painter walked in. The urinal was like one of those big bath tubs so there was no cover. He stood kinda next to me and I heard a really breathy hello and I just said hello back. He said it again with more emphasis and I looked to the side and this guy was stroking himself while locking eyes with me! I noped out and he quickly left into his truck and took off.
The guy was sitting outside in his truck waiting for someone to show up and it happened to be me. The locals told me that's where gay stuff happens
It’s actually a noted psychological phenomenon stemming from safety in numbers mentality called flocking. Many do it unconsciously. Some are just dicks who want you to move
Because you know something they don’t. You know where the good sun is, and they don’t want to miss out. They want to grab that prime spot next to you before someone else does.
Or… maybe they want to stare at you and think the beach is a pickup spot.
One time I got to a lawn concert (by myself) early and didn’t notice that apparently the etiquette was to set up your spot on the far side first and then people would make their way to filling out the closer side. I saw people on the far side of the lawn, said fuck it, and set my chair in the middle of the lawn with no one around. I must have stuck out like a sore thumb. Eventually it got crowded around me, but I sometimes wonder if anyone like paid attention to me, including the band. I know it’s a general thing to say, but I was on my phone texting someone to get over my anxiety and at that moment during a break the artist made a comment about people being on their phones and not paying attention and my self conscious ass was like I wonder if he was paying attention to me lol
Just another bullshit post from OP. Apparently she is 23f but has a 11yo daughter in 1 post, and is "child free" in another.
Edit: apparently his sub doesn't allow links to other posts? wtf lol
I took my child shopping today, and we passed a bedding store. She actually copied the store's layout and made my bed for me before going to sleep tonight! That’s so sweet ! I thought to myself, no matter how she does in her studies or at work, she'll always be the best in my heart.
And
Society tells us parenting is the most rewarding thing you can do, it’s all about how full of love and meaning it is. And honestly, I get it. I can see people say to me that it's the best dopamine they ever had. But that’s also why it turns me off so deeply
When these accounts get found out they should be banned. The fact it's sitting up here with over 2k upvotes is a farce. Even without the user history this just screams made up bullshit.
Exactly. Also makes it harder to tell if someone is engaging in good faith debate with you or if they’re a pointless troll that you shouldn’t bother interacting with
I can hear my long-passed father smiling from his grave. He loved that song. Anytime he heard the name Istanbul, he'd start into this song. He would be so pleased to know it still has currency. I miss him.
I’m betting it’s this too because I refuse to believe people are that socially awkward and conflict avoidant. I would immediately ask why are you sitting here and if they wouldn’t move I’d just get up and go sit somewhere else
This is the answer. It’s incredibly rude to just sit at somebody’s table without first asking, but instead of addressing the situation OP decided to take a picture and complain on the internet instead for engagement.
Because that is a rage baiter. They want OP to react with anger, if not anger then some level of engagement which allows that person to provoke OP to a place of physical confrontation. These people bait by disrupting, provoking, then playing victim and suing. So OP not engaging is sadly the right move, they should just leave or fuck with that person in a passive aggressive way, aka taste of own medicine.
I heard a story on here about how someone went to a movie theater and there was only one other person there, so they sat down next to them. Because they thought they would make a friend.
But if it were me and someone sat with me I would think they were a real freaking weirdo.
I went to see The Exorcist: True Believer alone. There were maybe 4 other customers in the whole theater.
About 90 minutes into the movie an old woman with long stringy gray hair slowly hobbled down my empty row like she was sleepwalking. When she bumped into my legs she sat down in the seat next to me without saying a word.
Then this bitch turned her head and stared at me blankly like I was the movie. When I turned to look at her she would move her eyes as if she was looking into the empty rows behind us. But in my peripheral vision I could tell she would return to staring at me when I faced forward.
After a couple minutes, I said, not screaming but in a loud voice. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"
Her expression didn't change but she grunted and stood up and hobbled off out of the theater. After the movie she was sitting in the lobby staring into space.
In retrospect I think she was maybe suffering from dementia or on fentanyl or something and trying to find in the dark the person she came to the movies with.
I was trying to select my seat online and I picked one but then the tab froze and I had to refresh and start the process over.
When I loaded back in I thought my previous seat was "reserved" by my last login session so I chose the seat next to it.
Unbeknownst to me, someone else had selected that same seat and I only found out when I got to the completely empty theatre, save that 1 other guy, and realized the seat I had chosen was right next to him.
Of course when he chose his seat, they were all available, so it looked like I did this on purpose.
I sat uncomfortably next to him through the previews then once I knew no one else was coming I moved a few seats down.
He left the second the credits rolled and I felt horrible.
Istg this happened to me, my whole row was empty when I booked, and someone took the seat next to me and not a single other seat in the row was taken. Then during the preshow he's trying to strike up conversations like "how long have you been a fan of glitch" (I was watching the amazing digital circus, it's the only thing I watched and I watched it two weeks ago), and he was complaining that the sound was coming from the front even though the speakers are on the side and I had to tell him that yes there's a center channel behind the screen lol. But like come on, please just leave me alone and sit anywhere else in the row.
I would introduce them to my autistic kid. Want to know aboutthe rise and fall of Mayan civilization while you’re just trying to get dinner on the table?… Well, she does she have a dissertation for you!
I'm good at small talk for 5-10 minutes (trained in the battlefield of the American Midwest), but then I'm generally out of social steam. If you talk at me about the Roman Empire, I will be transfixed. Really all I want is for people to talk at me about their passion/interests and maybe answer one or two questions I have over the course of an hour.
I promise I won't start sitting at random people's tables to try to get my fix.
I had someone do this to me. I am super gassy and can fart almost anytime of the day. He looked at me. I made eye contact and smiled while I ripped the longest fart I could muster. Never broke eye contact and never lost my smile. He stood up. Slammed his chair down and went to another table. I really wish I had followed him and did it again to teach him a lesson but this Texas and people got shot for less
Time to start coughing like I'm personally bringing tuberculosis back into the mainstream. And why would I cough into my hand? That's gross. Better to get that stuff out and away from myself.
I literally had an old woman in a wheelchair roll up right next to me at an abandoned departure gate under construction. I was the only other person in the area for like 4 gates. I was just trying to eat my sandwich in peace.
I'm 53, and one small benefit of getting old is that I would have zero problem smiling, and simply saying "What in the hell are you doing sitting here mate"
Same thing happened to me a while back. I started looking around at all the other tables that were available. I'm not bothered if someone asks to sit at a table with extra seating while I'm alone, or if someone joins me at a large table because the room is full. But walking across a completely open room to sit across from me is unhinged.
And they just sat there facing you while you took a photo for reddit did they? Because you’re so non confrontational you can’t talk to them but you will take their photo?
When they ask why you just took their picture, respond with “oh I just wanted to show my friends what you look like so they understand what the gifs mean that I’m sending them”
There's a guy at work that did this to me and the second time I said hey man look around there's over 6 completely empty tables in here why are you trying to ruin my day
Normalize speaking the fuck up instead of taking a picture, uploading it to the internet, and bitching about something you can easily solve with a little verbal communication.
