not now kitten, daddy's about to have a mental breakdown from seeing the prices at the grocery store

look at all these shipping worms snuggling into bed

you guys wanna hear something fucked up. homestuck has been over for longer than it was running. homestuck is current older than its protagonist was when it first started. im going to explode.

I love this post cuz if dog shows won money (especially that much money) i think everyone would show dogs. In reality, theres basically no money in dog shows, theres money prizes in these very high ranking shows sometimes, maybe up to 5kish, if you win, but in most shows if there's a compensation prize, its not more than enough to waive the entry fees (also yeah you have to pay to show your dog). So the only prize if you win is a cheap nylon ribbon, and if youve won enough like three letters added to your dogs name (very prestigious high honors for GCH n all), After you've spent sooo much money putting letters on your dogs name, you go on to sell their pups for like 2k each and hope that in their lifespan they make your show money back. Literally dog showing is as costly a hobby as any and its crazy to watch.

You are microwave safe. You are dishwasher safe. You will not turn orange after one use. You will not deform under boiling water.

ok well you say that but i am inclined to believe i will die if you put me in a microwave.

Starving to death this morning because ive been to the new local cafe twice this week already and if i go a third time ill look desperate.

The endlessly wailing siren of my social anxiety issues is probably not going to be silenced by the people in the comments pointing out that being a regular at a restaurant is a normal thing for people to be, but I do zero-sarcasm appreciate the attempt, is very kind!

on the flipside, we went to the same place for brunch a couple years, one time my buddy orders something new, and while he’s eating five different members of the wait staff stopped by to be like “did they bring you the wrong thing?”

This thread needs a trigger warning keep the horror stories coming

I once went to a McDonald’s, the cashier said “big mac combo meal and a chicken burger, right?” and I said “yeah” and then didn’t come back for two years

This entire genre of concern so fascinatingly foreign to me! the cafeteria pizza guy knows I want 3 slices of whatever veggie pizza he has, and he will have them ready for me without me having to say anything besides a quick murmured thanks, and he smiles when he sees me and starts to grab them, and it feels so good! to be known, even a little bit, to be a small constant in someone else’s life… there’s just something so beautiful and precious and good in that, for me.

When I lived in [the city where I lived for undergrad] there was this place very close to my house with cheap and delicious lamb curry and the people at the counter knew my face and would start scooping the lamb curry into a bowl when they saw me come through the door. I thought this was lovely of them and always made sure to tip generously. Restaurant and regular is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Yeah there’s a bakery/cafe a few doors down from me and reaching the point where they a) remember my face/name and b) know my regular order meant that I can no longer get breakfast anywhere else ever.

Had the guy at the taco truck I routinely went to for lunch who asked me after a few years if I only ate burritos or something, no man I’m just don’t see the need to mix up my lunches.

when i worked in a remote office when i started my job, i went to denny’s for lunch enough that i’d just walk in and a server would go “take a seat over there, I’ll be over with your iced tea to take your order in a moment”

Food service workers love their regulars, especially if you’re a good tipper and are polite, we literally look forward to seeing you every day. Also service workers don’t care if you order the same thing, and us remembering your order means we like you.

For all my fellow social anxiety sufferers out there. Because my local coffee shop knows I always get iced coffee or a mocha and a biscotti and it stresses me the fuck out because I’m like “What if they think my order is dumb?? What if they’re like there she goes again stuffing her face with biscottis all the time” but nothing matters and a biscotti with your coffee in the morning really makes all the difference in what kinda day you’re gonna have.

Wait yeah before the pandemic I used to hang out and draw in Starbucks a lot and the baristas knew I got pumpkin spice chai (or vanilla chai if we weren’t in the Correct Time Of Year) and it was so nice!!! Or when I did the same kind of thing in the bubble tea place at college they knew I got passionfruit tea with fruit jelly. People really get anxious or bothered by that? I have pretty bad social anxiety and I like it lol.

When i was in college i used to go to a bagel shop and ordered the same fucking pizza bagels like nearly everyday for months and one time i went in i started my order "Yeah imma order a peperoni pizza bagel-" "On sourdough???" "Er- yeah" "It is you!" I had never met this man, apparently he had been "warned" about my arrival. was a new hire, and was told at some point he would be met with the pizza bagel guy. dude was ecstatic, i felt like a fucking legend. they told ppl i would come round. it became part of their training.

wyd after smokin this

Happy elwoowoo wednesday
