Your pointless thoughts & observations

I've probably bumped into around 50 other Skip the Dishes couriers, and a grand total of one of them was female.  I can't think of any good reason why delivery driving would be a predominately male job.  Do guys just like driving more?

Probably lots of girls feel unsafe knocking on strange mens doors by themselves.

Hmmm, I guess.  Typically you don't come inside a customer's house, so unless you're delivering to an extremely remote area with no neighbours, you're pretty safe.  It's not like driving a cab where you're one on one with complete strangers in a confined space, driving to potential murder shacks. I guess back door deliveries in the dark could seem unnerving.

I say kk. it's just a goofy way of saying ok.

same. There was one girl that used to get offended by it though, like it was a x2 of 'k' ie passive aggressive

Texting is perhaps my least favourite (to be read: "most hated") form of communication. People are ambiguous enough as it is.

Issue #1 of "Problems with Texting"

The tree of implications has many branches. As you try to climb to the top, incorrect assumptions are weak branches that break off and hit you in the face after grabbing it.

If you were the sender of the text and your ladyfriend receives it, incorrect assumptions are weak branches that she breaks off and hits you in the face with.

You never make it to the top of the tree. You tend to just end up looking like goaltending hockey legend Terry Sawchuck:

Sure thing gramps

Texting is the best . It allows you to get away with so much and if people question it u just say "nah you misinterpreted - happens all the time with text " . My personal fave is to open a message so the sender can see I've read it , then I start to write a text so the other person can see I've read it and have a response , then I just leave it , sometimes for days at a time. Whenever I get sad I just open up the text window and think about that poor son of a bitch on the other end and I get warm and fuzzy inside

for real. Some real NLS (next level sociopath) shit right there. Love it.

@Candiru: although not a broadly shared view, I'm guessing, but women can be equally creepy. It just shows differently. Just imagine Brad Pitt walking into a room full of women. They'd freak out even more. Admittedly, it'd take a Brad Pitt. But the impact would be even bigger as well, I'd argue. What might look like guys freaking out, might suddenly look pretty normal compared to women responding to mr Pitt.

 

In normal cases though, I'd argue women are just as creepy as guys can be. It just shows differently. I mean, a guy going to a yoga class will likely be judged by all women present. You can bet he will be the target of loads of gossip and all that. Especially when he's of interest to them.

 

That's women being creepy, btw. Being gossipy behind each others back and getting all competitive and bitchy and all that. And the guy might not even notice it.

 

Huh. Nice take! Hadn't thought about in those terms (i.e., that creep is still there, just manifests differently). Makes me think about being one of the Beatles back in the day. . .christ how crazy would that have been? 

when they see a shiny, guys turn into scary creeps, and women become complete freaks! (black fridays anyone?)

;D

was getting freaked out over weird cult-like congregations of people standing in place at unlikely spots, turns out pokemon go is popular again

I know a guy who held the #2 spot for Pokemon Go players in Canada.  Guy did a lot of walking.

Another pointless story:

I had this classmate in uni. He looks almost exactly like an oompa-loompa from Burton's Willy Wonka: short guy, around 1,60m tall if not less, looks Peruvian to the point people would ask him if he's south american (which he isn't), almost perfectly spherical pot belly, somewhere around 25 and 35 years old. This guy is... I wanted to say socially anxious, but he has no problem socializing - he just seems so nervous he makes you nervous. His class presentations would take forever, tripping over his words. He'd also get hung up on the silly details - we'd be planning how to tackle a project and he'd start anxiously insisting we use this particular identation style or whatever, some meaningless detail, over and over.

So anyway, my classmates would ask him about "the twins" every now and then. He'd reply "oh I'm going round there later, it's all good" and that's it, so I figured "the twins" was somewhere he works at or whatever, a pub, I dunno, but the other day they actually told me this dude's dating a couple twin sisters at the same time, in some weird semi incestuous arrangement. This guy's kinda weird and child-minded so I asked whether there's even a sexual component to this relationship at all, but the guy who told me didn't know either. Apparently the 3 of them go out together and all. I've a ton of questions now

Because of the jerking off together?

I often get weird looks when I take my toddler to kiddie activity groups at the local library. I'm almost always the only bloke there, and none of the mums have ever shown the slightest interest in acknowledging me although they're pretty chatty with eachother.

It's like a complete inverse of the weird stalking that women get from gamers. Blanking as opposed to creepy obsession

wear shades, their inability to look into your soul will have them gossiping, misinterpreting you as the Cadburys Milk Tray bloke & then commence passing you notes offering to drown you in lady ejaculate, no-strings

if you can live with the guilt......

Some guy i went to school with was watching football and he heard a screaming lady running down the street. He went out to see whats up and then got stabbed to death in front of his house by the guy chasing the lady. The murderer was a 19 year old kid all fucked up on meth and general psychosis. Seems pretty pointless to me.

Jesus.

Did the lady get away at least?

update: the friend was actually the lady and stickfigger was the methhead

So the guy you went to school with and another guy were chasing the lady, and then a meth head appeared and stabbed both the guys?  Or did the lady stab them once they caught up?

I coulda got stabbed the other day. That was a fun realisation.

Is there much violence at your prison?

I’m going to have to find some wood to knock on, but I haven’t been anywhere dangerous or stabby in a while. I also seem to blend in wherever I go and no one can tell what social class I’m from.

If you could delete the internet, would you?

Nah, too many tunes and dank memes
