For real though ladies, if you were on a date and the guy tore up the menu and then magically reconstructed it in front of you would that be a turn on or a major turn on?

Well, I mean it's better than a MLM scheme, but all of their cash and savings are going to magically disappear nonetheless.

the best part of the restaurant for magicians is

quote:

a restaurant which, unbeknownst to the general public, is littered with magical props

the gimmick only works if nobody actually knows about it, but the gimmick also only works if people know that it's there

also, it's a date restaurant that you can never take the same person to twice.

They tell you it's a civil matter. OR they come around to shoot the kid, your dog, and any neighbors who happen to be black. It's pretty much a tossup which type you get.

[29/F] Might need to uninvite a groomsmen [32/ M] from our wedding

Jesus Christ, this guy is sexually assaulting women at every wedding he goes to, and the fiance still wants to give him a chance? If my fiance was still friends with someone doing that, much less wanted him to be one of his groomsmen, I'd be canceling the wedding.

There was someone in my family that would get drunk and pull poo poo like that at every wedding/get together back in the 70s (and probably before). But nobody stopped inviting him because oh 'he's ~family~, it can't possibly happen again!"

Well of course he got hammered at another wedding, started harassing the bride's mother, and the bride's father cold-cocked him and laid him out in the middle of the dance floor.

He came around, got back up and demanded to fight him. That's what it took to put an end to inviting him.

So what I'm saying is, don't invite an alcoholic that constantly starts trouble at events.

Or say you're a woman who really wants her date to not notice her massive lack of personality. Would levitating the date's coffee cup while refilling it be distracting enough to keep her date's interest?

Goddamnit I can't figure out how to work in the breakfast entree called "the Raspututi Fresh 'n' Frutti".

AITA for confronting my brother’s wife for taking a bit out of every donut in the box and leaving it in the living room?

quote:

So my brother bought a box of donuts, he put it in the living room for everyone to enjoy. I spotted it but goddamn I was already full from dinner.

1 hour later i’m feeling a donut. I go to the living and the box of donuts had vanished. I had a clue who took it but i didn’t say anything.

At night, i’m going to pass the living room to the kitchen and I noticed that the box of donuts have respawned. I’m excited af!!! I open the box, EVERY DONUT HAS BEEN BITTEN, not cut off, THERE IS ONE BITE ON EVERY DONUT!

I knew immediately that it was my brother’s wife. I got a piece of paper, wrote down that that behavior is not something you do and put it under the lid in the box.

I actually got torched for that. I’m baffled, maybe the way I let her know was wrong but I got my hopes up twice.

How I knew it was her: This has happened before. Sometimes the sweets has a bite mark and sometimes the sweets just disappear to their room. I know it’s not my brother. She loves sweets but when it’s for everybody, it’s inappropriate tbh.

What I wrote on the note: “For you who took a bite, take a hike, I know it’s you, i’m not a foo(l)”.

I was pissed. Don’t @ me.

I'm a public school teacher. I keep my tablet, lunch, and stacks of papers in there. Also pens/pencils and stuff.

A messenger bag, any bag really, doesn't open up like a case does (and I hate rifling around in a loving sack looking for something).

I think something abo6the 8 year old that put the cat in the freezer that people are not grasping is that this is the kid of a woman who leaves her kid with literally any adult she can find while she goes out with friends or whatever. It is super likely that the kid has been abused at some point, and at that poI don't think any of this is probably the kid's fault (at least at age 8). I had a close friend whose birth mother would do the same thing, when he was under 5, sometimes for days on end. Dont click the following if you don't want to be burdened with knowledge of abuse.

Sometimes would get left with tweakers that would sexually abuse him and who put out lit cigarettes on him over and over.

of course someone’s personality changes after years of alcoholism/bingeing. I am more talking about when someone gets blackout and does something like try to make out with their friend or screams racial slurs and then tries to weasel out of it by saying they were drunk and “that’s not me, I would never do that!” yeah, you wouldn’t sober, because you were restraining yourself. but if that’s what you do when your inhibitions are removed, that’s what you are deep down
