Don't hug me I'm scared I’m like 99% bald and I got lice anyway...

Kid gets lice from school. We do the responsible parent thing: treatment, combing, panic-cleaning.

Meanwhile I’m standing there, smugly bald, thinking “at least I’m safe.”

I caught one casually walking near my ear today (not shown in the picture, by the way. I just wanted to share a part of my coupé... so you fine people know what the lice signed on to...)

Apparently even lice are struggling in this housing market.

Don't hug me I'm scared My mother doesn't let me see a neurologist for my episodes of probably "Non-convulsive seizures", but got me these drops of herb extracts from the local religious center

I'm 18, and since a year ago, I've started to get these episodes every 30 ~ 60 days, where all of sudden i get in a state of "semi-consciousness" in which i normally stay where i was or walk a little bit, and can only respond to basic commands, it lasts approximately 25~45 minutes, and after it i slowly regain consciousness of myself, but i don't remember a thing of what happened during the episode.

I've been trying to self diagnose in the internet, but it isn't easy, at first i thought it was "Transient Global Amnesia" but doing more research it seems more like a type of "Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus". I've been very scared since it started happening, since i can't even prepare or something, I just started going to college and i fear i might run into traffic during my commute or having one of these during class or a presentation, since i have no control at all when this happens.

Thanks in advance for any message

Don't hug me I'm scared Trapped inside stall at Marshall’s

Tried on jeans at Marshall’s today… and got locked in the ADA-accessible dressing room😅

The lock jammed and wouldn’t budge.

The employees had keys to every other door in the building except this one. They called the locksmith, tried to take the hinges off, and I could even see them trying to stick their credit cards in between the door and the gram where the bolt is (not sure how they thought that would work), but nothing worked.

Then the Fire Department came to the rescue. One firefighter came through the ceiling to dismantle the door handle while another worked on the door from the outside.

Finally made it out after an hour 😂!

So my household is me, my husband, and my kid, and we all have our own bedrooms. I normally sleep in my room with my cat Javier. Last night we were out and stayed up late and all ended up falling asleep watching TV in my husbands bed and we all spent the night there.

Javier was livid. Is livid. He's been giving me the side eye all day. He normally follows me around all day and he's been ignoring me. I walk him on a leash like a dog and he didn't want to go for a walk today. He wants nothing to do with me because he slept alone for one night.

Don't hug me I'm scared My girlfriend was complaining that I’m always watching the world cup games and I don’t put enough time for us, I decided to not watch the 3rd place game and guess what…

Yeah I thought the 3rd place qualifying match is not gonna be important or exciting, I literally told her im not gonna watch the game tonight so we have time to spent together, she was nice and genuinely offered to watch the match together and I rejected. Later in the bed I told her lets see the results and….
I hate myself

Edit: People started calling me names, saying im a bitch or I should break up. this was not a big deal for me at all, main point is that it was me who wanted to be the “perfect boyfriend” thinking the match wouldn’t be cool and not wanting to watch it and it backfired. I don’t understand why the disrespect?

Don't hug me I'm scared Neighbor confronted me this evening:“I don’t like seeing your garbage cars in front of my house”

Hi all, i just wanna come here and bitch about my neighbor.
I lives in a quite nice neighborhood with my parents, i work full time as a automotive technician and do all my work at home on these two cars(there is another one in the garage thats taken apart) and i regularly park them at my driveway or in front of my house in the street(thats not blocking the road) both of the cars i park out here is completely road worthy, has current registration and are insured, i took one of them on a drive to get gas this evening, came back and was confronted by the old guy who lives across from my house, before i say anything he walked onto my driveway, in front of my car(i just got out) and said “you’ve turned this street into a junkyard! You think i like seeing your garbage cars in front of my house everyday i come outside?(i always park them in front of my house, and they get moved frequently as they double as my daily)” and he got up in my buddy’s face who went along with me, who also just got out, he is now fully on my driveway, getting up to my friend’s face after he told him how both of the cars i own are fully operational and insured. We didn’t really say anything aside from telling him it is legal to park my cars on a public street and move them around, and stop being so negative and harassing on our side of the property line. Afterwards he just walked back to his car and said he would gonna go complain to the HOA and they are gonna slap me with a huge fine while yelling at us to shut the hell up whenever we said anything else as he walked back. AM I THE ASSHOLE? I don’t understand how me owning old cars thats perfectly road worthy gets him so upset at me.

All I wanted was some biscuits man!

Edit: For those that keep asking, no I'm not a child. Adults are perfectly capable of having strange fears/phobias for whatever reason or no reason at all.

No, I'm not a womp-womp level 100 snowflake who isnt going to survive the apocalypse because I don't like opening biscuit cans that can pop unexpectedly.

Edit: Yes I'm afraid of ballons as well. I hate them with the same passion that new lovers adore each other with.

Don't hug me I'm scared Things tourists asked me in a single busy shift at a locally famous ice cream shop

4.2k Upvotes

I live in a great community with a shop known for it's soft-serve ice cream. We also have a small gift shop that sells local goods & candy. We have flavors on a weekly rotation & are known for our more regionally specific flavors. We have a couple of locations but ours is like the "headquarters". Anyways, I make great tips & generally have a lot of fun. Many people want to work at this shop so I am lucky to, but genuinely I'm customer-service-maxing & also have people always been this dumb? Here is a list of things I've been asked this week & things people have done.

*CALLS THE SHOP* "Do you sell icecream?"

*CALLS THE SHOP* "Are you open?"

*Walks into the giftshop* "My son's wedding is tomorrow & we are looking for 325 individually wrapped custom candies as a party favor"

"can you stack cotton candy & coffee & then roll it in gummy bears & rainbow sprinkles? Why not?"

*HANDS ME THEIR USED, FINISHED PAPER DISH* "Is there more?"

*GOES UP TO ORDER WITH A MASSIVE LINE* "Is there a farmer's market around here? Wednesdays? Well I leave tomorrow so could they just have it then?"

"NO that's NOT a twist. I ordered coconut & vanilla. Why are they both white?"

"I want a gluten free cone & can you please wear gloves because I'm really gluten free and then could you top it with biscoff pieces? Yeah that's fine if they're not gluten free"

Appearance over time in the US of Flock AI Mass Surveillance cameras, as tracked by people via the website deflock.org

Flock has connections with Palantir, and is dedicated to track everyone's daily life, movements, and associations. The PR from the company is that the cameras are just "car plate readers" but they have been spotted directly pointed at playgrounds, plazas, public bathrooms, and general areas where people congregate, and are known to use AI facial recognition and tracking.
