carrionman posted:Teasing is also a gentle way of introducing the concept that not everything an authority figure says is always true. This. We joke around a lot in our family, but the second our son asked if we were serious, we immediately told him "No, we're just joking." And it was never about stuff like: "I'm going to feed you to the rabid animals while shooting fireworks at you." It was more along the lines of "We're getting up early to go muck out a sewer." "Wait, really? " "No, we're going to the Minecraft exhibit at the museum a couple hours away."

when I was around 2 years old, my parents noticed that, at seemingly random times, I would run around the house in a panic screaming "COCKADIS! COCKADIS!" They eventually figured out that I was freaking out about a television ad for The Phantom of the Opera on stage, but to this day no one knows what COCKADIS means. I was teased about it then, I'm still teased about it now, as it should be

Butterfly Valley posted:in their defence it does help with the smell. and i found splashback to be more a function of drop height so the fact you're making GBS threads into water that's much closer gives the turd less drop time to build up enough velocity to generate appreciable splashback. Huge gaps? Like you don't share walls between stalls? That just sounds like a cozy corner to sleep in, if a bit gross.

LookieLoo posted:Huge gaps? Like you don't share walls between stalls? No, there are walls between them. It's just that many of the stall doors have intentionally large gaps on either side of them in a lot of restrooms, so you can get an eyeful of whoever's in there as you're walking by if you're not careful.

A bit of scrunched up up toilet paper in the bowl before you sit down to start making GBS threads stops splashback.

Alucard posted:If it's temporary (i.e. the real thing is like two gifts later) that's pretty good pranking but if that's the gift it's too dickish. Another good option is the one where you give them what they wanted, but put it in the packaging of something old or crappy. My mom did that to my brother back in the day- she actually used the box from a computer game he already had. He was very polite and thankful and tried to convince himself that it was an "updated" version (or maybe he was trying to be nice to our mom so she wouldn't be embarrassed) and seeing his reaction when he opened it up was amazing. The disappointment is hilarious when it's just for that moment.

I'm trying to figure out if that reaction is just "break your neck more quietly please, I'm on a call" or...? credburn posted:I don't mean to sound like such a boomer but... it's a few seconds of a scare. When I was a kid, my mother woke me up on New Years and made me run down the icy road in my underwear at midnight while her friends fired roman candles at me. If we had tiktoks back then I would have been a viral star. That's hosed, even as a one-off "poo poo just went kinda weird that one time" incident. That's the sort of thing kids remember when they're an adult and their parent is in a home and "they just never visit me; I don't know why".

I've been on these forums for over 20 years now, and I legit love them--they're full of people who are hosed up in various ways (like everyplace else), but it's surprisingly often that folks here have a nice strong "okay vs. not okay" standard in place when compared with pretty much any "comments section" of the rest of the internet. It's a good place.

Karate Bastard posted:This is why you should always carry a roll of duct tape on you so you can tape that gap shut. This reminds me that someone on one of those reality shows where they show off inventions (I think American Inventor) someone made a clip that bridges that gap at the top of a stall door to secure it closed and also had a little roll down shutter to conceal the gap. A shitter shutter if you will
