Yes, asexual people have heard of sex, and should be aware that "in the bedroom" is a euphemism for sex.

I don't ride a motorcycle, but if someone in a Harley shirt told me about his "sick hawg" I wouldn't pretend to think he had a diseased pig.

Yeah pretty sure thats autism.

:confused: One presumes that she came to understand after the fact that he was asking for sex stuff, and her statement about being asexual is intended to explain why she didn't understand prior to the point at which he started doing sex stuff.
I know this is STDH, but that particular extract doesn't seem nonsensical or anything.

As other people have said, being asexual doesn't mean you are unfamiliar with sex. You could be perfectly familiar with it and understand it and just have it not do anything for you, which is what asexuality is. You would have to live under a rock for your entire life to not understand what that guy was implying right away (also to not be able to tell the difference between shrimp and pastry).

Lots of non-perverts end up drawing commissions for fetishists because they're desperate for cash, there was even a Comedy Goldmine about one of them.

Reading expressions under their literal meaning instead of the colloquial one is a common autistic symptom.

I'm also a psychologist and didn't understand your joke until you explained it, maybe because it just looked like standard goon mocking and/or maybe because it didn't distinguish between disease and symptomology. :shrug:

Had a former student state that very thing in a Facebook post. We get to read their psycho-ed files and, nope, not a single word about being on the spectrum.

Of course, thus is also the kid who:
1. Claimed to be fireproof
2. Had a metal plate/no! Metal skeleton
3. To have been born in Australia (wasn't) and
spent a week with a horrendous come and go Aussie accent
4. Have a pilot's license and free access to planes whenever he wanted
5. One Thanksgiving break had to go up to New York to help Lockheed solve the problem with the F-22 engines
6. Make $2K a gig dj ing, but still complained about his parents not buying him some videogame

So basically a walking personification of stdh.

Wasn't there once a goon in E/N who had gotten in trouble because he'd faked an Australian accent to get laid and now his hookup had become his girlfriend and she wanted to meet with his parents or something?

Delightfully, it was!

We were doing a lab that involved bags of air vs. bags of oxygen (showing concentration effects on reaction rate), and he managed to put his glowing splint in too far when WHOOSH, tiny flame shoots out and grazed his hand. "Ow!" (Girl next to him, innocently) "I thought you were fireproof?" "Grumble, grumble, scowl" (Quick check showed no damage done)
Me: drawing blood as I bite my lip to keep from laughing.

Sadly, no one applauded, and Einstein was long dead.

You can just have ADHD instead and tell lies about being in the CIA and having a 'CIA license' that can get you out of parking tickets, passing the training and qualifying for various special forces positions 'over the summer', and doing your 'service' and 'training' with straight up novelty guns that have never been adopted by any military the world over and barely even function half the time.

I've never met a bartender that does the movie/sitcom thing where they seem to enjoy being your therapist. I've seen plenty of people pour out all their problems at them but they never gave heartfelt advice or sympathy, they just were like "mmhmm that sucks so do you want another" and went away to do their actual job as soon as possible.

Hint: these bartenders have never existed they only have that perception because popular media uses the bartender as a chance for the main character to do a soliloquy or for the bartender to impart some Mysterious Stranger wisdom.

(I am standing in line at the checkout behind a mother with a daughter of about three and an infant in a sling. The older child is “helping” to put groceries on the belt, but due to her small stature, a lot of them land on the floor. I pick them up for her because it is obviously difficult for her to bend over, and she thanks me pleasantly each time. After about the fifth item to hit the floor, the cashier at the next register starts to scold the child, calling her a brat. That’s when momma bear mode kicks in.)

Mom: *to Cashier* “Stop talking and walk away.”

Cashier: “But—”

Mom: “No. Listen to me. I just got out of the hospital after a very difficult labor. I’m restocking my groceries and my daughter is trying to be helpful.”

Cashier: *stammers*

Mom: “NO! I SAID STOP TALKING AND WALK AWAY. If you open your mouth one more time, I will take that as a verbal agreement that you are granting me permission to punch you in the face as hard as I possibly can.”

Cashier: *stammers*

Mom: “I SAID SHUT IT, AND WALK AWAY! I just had a person come out of my body. My tolerance for pain is through the roof! Do. Not. F***. With. Me or my kids!”

Me: “Would you like me to hold your baby for you before you start swinging?”

(The cashier turned bright red and walked away without another word. The mother burst out half laughing and half crying. I helped her out to her car and loaded up her groceries. She thanked me profusely the whole time. Her daughter and my daughter have a play date scheduled for next week.)

(I’m from Germany. I’m traveling across the country on a long-distance bus and decide to use the time to watch a cartoon series a friend recommended to me. A random dude sits behind me and taps on my shoulder, so I take my headphones off.)

Dude: “Hey, do you mind if I watch that with you?”

Me: “Not at all. I even have some splitters on me. It’s in English, though.”

(The dude and I chat for about a minute about some cartoons we both enjoy while he moves his stuff to sit down next to me. Then, he just stares at my laptop blankly for no apparent reason.)

Dude: “You covered your camera.”

Me: “Yup, I did. I normally don’t Skype or anything, so it’s not like it’s an inconvenience or something like that.”

Dude: “You know that nobody’s watching you? God, if I knew you were a paranoid piece of s***, I wouldn’t have talked to you.”

(He continues to launch into a long speech, filled with insults, about conspiracy theories and how I must be completely bonkers for believing them — which I don’t — while I don’t say a word and tune him out for the most part. When he finishes a few minutes later, he demands that I explain myself and justify my “insanity.”)

Me: “My ex-boyfriend is an Anonymous hacker, and he actually did hack into my computer and my webcam. He took some pretty nice pictures of me and sent them to my friends, who kindly beat him up for me. As far as I know, he didn’t try again, and the pictures are gone, but I prefer to have my webcam covered, not that it’s any of your business. Now, either shut up and put your headphones in and watch [Cartoon] quietly without speaking to me, or shut up and leave, which I’d prefer.”

(He left. For anyone interested, my ex and I never crossed paths again and he still hasn’t contacted me five years later, to my immense joy. My friends are still awesome, and I still have no social media, nor do I open anything that isn’t sent to me by a trusted source. Not everyone with their webcams covered is a nut-job. Sometimes their exes are just psycho.)

No no Anonymous hacker proper noun. The 4chan type guy.

So the lady in the previous story told the cashier to walk away then the author helped her load the cart? I feel like it's implied that someone came over and finished ringing everything up but they probably should have included the part where the manager comes over and gives the crazy bitch the most fake polite talking to about how the cashier will be punished and yadda yadda.
