your families are all terrible

we develop superpowers when we're drunk, we all pile into the nearest rsl and just clean up on the pokies while screaming poo poo poo poo poo poo at each other until they call security and then we go rollicking home and brawl (but it's all in good fun)

or more often we blow all our savings but we don't remember those times, either way we end up slapping each other

Whenever we have a family gathering I seem to get stuck sitting across from my grandma and her husband and have to spend the entire meal trying to ignore their horrendous chewing noises. And no one drinks. Yay. Every few years my uncle shows up and him and my dad fight over politics while everyone else pretends the entire conversation is not happening. Luckily he was just here this summer so we probably won't see him again for a while.

My mom and dad are both first generation, so I don't have a huge extended family. Both parents are awesome, and my younger brother is more or less my favorite person ever. My other brother, the one who likes jam bands, is okay but we've just never been close, it's weird

All of my family are recovering alcoholics, even my baby daddy's family doesn't drink alcohol. Sober holidays are pretty boring let me tell you. Honestly I'm kind of a hum bug. Going to the boyfriends' family for christmas for the first time. I don't want to for multiple reasons. I'm a very anxious and private person, so the thought of having to sleep, eat, and poop there makes me uncomfortable. Ugh, I just will trudge through it and hopefully snap out of my hum buggedness.

ngl i really enjoy pooping in other people's toilets because it feels like i'm establishing my territory

i always scrub and squirt the air freshener afterward though, i'm not some sort of monster

life tip: light a match instead of using air freshener, it masks the smell completely, instead of laying an all too inadequate flowery perfume on top of your stank-rear end anal snake stench and creating something much worse

well my poop is already quite mildly scented and has a subtle - even delicate - bouquet that is all its own so i feel that to obliterate it entirely would defeat the purpose

also, upon entering someone's house, i eat one [1] item from their pantry, usually a piece of cereal or a single nut

i purchase a replacement to the best of my ability and leave it behind when i go

I think for me it's a fear of clogging someones toilet. It's only really happened to me once in my life but it was terrible. I didn't even know the person, but I smoked hash for the first time there, and it instantly made me need to poo poo out everything. I think someone even tried to come check on me, and I had to do the feeble, "I'm ok," whilst trying to desperately unclog the toilet quietly as possible. I was really high so I was convinced everyone could hear what I was doing. Then some bitch told me I look like Alanis Morriset and I told her I wanted to kil her.

There's a David Sedaris essay that's all about him going to the bathroom at a dinner party, finding someone else's huge, un-flushable dump in the toilet, and panicking while trying to get rid of it so nobody would think he was the culprit. It's pretty hilarious.

Ugh I just had a wicked nasty breakup, the worst kind. The kind where they don't even tell you to your face or even in a text they're leaving, they just ignore you and you have to find out from someone else they're gone. :(

When I'm in a public bathroom and there's multiple stalls, and one of them I know has a horrible biohazardous accident in/all over it, when I'm washing my hands from coming out of a clean stall I'm always afraid the next person who comes in is gonna think I left that mess :ohdear:

I did feel bad about it later on. It was one of those things where you're really high, and you say something and it comes out in a tone that you really didn't intend. So instead of like a playful tone it was more crack head tone. But for the record I think Alanis Morriset looks kinda busted.

Everyone is telling me he's an absolute shithead for doing that to me but I still feel like garbage. We were talking absolutely normally last night and everything. The last thing he said to me was I love you and goodnight and see you tomorrow after hours of hanging out t:mad: What the gently caress.

I guess my best option is to really stick to my workout regimen and become super hot and too good for him (disclaimer: i am aware that no amount of pull-ups can take the neckbeard out of my soul)

work out enough that you can suplex him and be like "YEEEEAH BIIIIIITCH" and then walk away while something explodes behind you. when the rad guitar solo starts up and you put on sunglasses, he'll know he made a mistake.

I had someone do this for me, although they stretched it out over a long time.

Its the single most painful thing anyone has ever done to me, and it kind of permanently made me less trustful of people, which trust wasn't something I had a surplus of anyway.

Well right now I'm not sad anymore, right now I'm just upset with how much of an rear end in a top hat this guy is for breaking up in that fashion. Like really? I don't even need to 'talk it out' I just wanted to hear a 'well it's over' or something jesus christ. He just blocked my number and yadda yadda and moved the gently caress on overnight without me knowing at all. I found out by accident. What a loser
