I personally have finished three chapsticks from top to bottom. (using them correctly, not eating them.)
How many you finish by eating them?
I finished Heavy Barrel on one credit, in the exact same time it took Ride the Lightning to play through on a walkman.
I’m really good at tearing away paper towels from the toll with one hand
I can wiggle my ears
I regularly finish the ink of a Bic pen.
they taste awesome, right??
One time as a 19-year-old, I planned out an entire Traveler campaign in the span of two weeks. 46 planets, each with distinct cultures, local flora and fauna, and a unique questline for each one. There was an overarching plotline about a Doctor Sinestar abducting people and stealing tech. I basically spent two weeks in my room furiously typing from when I woke up until I fell asleep at my keyboard, ignoring my bodily functions until my body forced me to take care of it. It was a race against burnout, and I won, but at what cost?
I can hum and whistle at the same time. Dogs always snap to attention and look at me when I do it lol
Can you harmonize with yourself?
That’s cool as fuck.
I committed to sleeping in a silk bonnet every night, and my hair is so much nicer now :)
Hell yeah
I can place my hands in front of my chest and make circles, hands going in opposite directions.
I answered a ringing payphone, just like in the movies.
Had that happen in an elevator. Elevator call boxes have a phone line for emergencies.
RING!
(pushes button)
“Hello?”
“Hello, who is this?”
“This is an elevator.”
“No, seriously, who is this?”
“No, seriously, this is an elevator.”
(Everyone in the elevator starts laughing)
“OMG… this really is an elevator!”
“Well, yeah, that’s what I told you.”
“How are you talking to me?”
“The call box started ringing so I pushed the button.”
“Um, OK, can you hang up now?”
“Well, there’s no real phone, just a button and a speaker, so I think you have to hang up.”
(CLICK)This happened to me one time like 15 years ago. I was sitting on a bench and a pay phone next to me started ringing. I picked it up and the local police department was on the other end.
They said they’d gotten a 911 call from this number. I said this was a pay phone and they were like, “Oh. Are there like, any kids or teenagers around?”
I looked around. There was a big group of teenagers maybe 30ft from where I was sitting. “Yep, there’s a few nearby.”
They said, “It was probably them. But we’re gonna send someone by just to make sure everything’s okay.”
A few minutes later a cop came by and asked if I was the person they spoke to on the phone. “Yep.” He looked around and verified there was no emergency and then left.
What did it say? Don’t leave us hanging, goddamnit!
I was in a train station, a woman was looking for her skateboarder son who was supposed to be waiting for the next train. He wasn’t there.
Is that how they found you, Nemo?
In a public school that had is own number, a harmless prank people used to pull was to dial the payphone’s own number then immediately hang up and dash off. It would then ring and confuse the person who was nearest.
You just unlocked a memory here.
In line with your submission, I kept a Bic pen from brand new to absolutely gone. It took years, but I’m not exactly jotting down notes all day.
Now I carry a nub of a carpenter’s pencil with me and I’m much happier.
In line with yours, I broke my new pen & kept it till it was empty as well!
I find the mates to MOST of my socks
Did you work out where the drier puts them? Every load, two matching socks go in, but when I unload them there’s either; just one sock, or two different socks.
THEY IS THE CHOSEN ONE
How the hell did you finish 3 chapsticks?
Dedication.
In the last few years I’ve finished a dozen or so. In college I used about 1 pen per semester from start to finish in the same way. I tend to use nail clippers until they are dull, too.
I leave a chapstick (Burt’s bees) at my desk at home and another in the pants I go out with (which moves to new pants with my wallet as necessary). Hard to lose things when I have a system, I guess.
Same here.
I’ve had the same pair of nail clippers for like, 20 years now? The brand doesn’t exist anymore, sadly.
I’ve kind of wanted to die for over a year, but I dropped the hand scanner in the self checkout and it landed between the wires of the rack on the underside of the shopping cart so that it was hanging perfectly, and that was pretty cool
Congratulations on being here! You matter !
Neat! Also, I don’t know you but, I’m glad you’re here
Every once in awhile, I will wash, dry, and FOLD all my laundry in one day.
The trifecta!
Only when company is coming over. And I never have company over.
That’s a grand achievement
Right? This was for simple stuff.
