My Mom and I are in a debate on how they’re pronounced. We live in the South.

She keeps saying it like Puh-Kawns but I think it’s Pee-Kins

I’ve told this story before in case it seems familiar.

Our middle school was mostly indoors, the hallways in a pentagon shape, and the library in the center. Library doors would open outward, into the hallways.

It was crowded in between classes and we were only allowed to move in one direction. A door was opening right into me and I wasnt having it.

I extended my left arm and stopped the door from opening. After a bit of resistance, I leaned in and forcibly closed it back shut.

A few seconds later I hear the door burst open and it was an older woman, probably a teacher, yelling at another kid behind me.

“YOU DONT EVER CLOSE THE DOOR ON ME!!”

“It wasn’t me! It was him!”

I never turned around and the yelling slowly faded so I don’t know what happened to that kid.

Kid behind me: It’s been 23 years and I’m sorry.

To be clear, I still tip at sit down restaurant.

Im talking about when I’m picking up take out and the worker spins around the tablet asking for a tip.

I make it clear I am not tipping by selecting custom tip and entering 0%. I then make direct eye contact with the worker as I press the button.

I understand I’m allowed to name my children whatever I want, I’m just curious what repercussions there would be, if any;

• The children were all born a year apart, so ages 5 - 9 currently.
• They all share the same birth date, just different years.
• Two of them are girls, still named Steve.
• They all go to the same schools, same district.
• I refuse to differentiate them in any way. No Steve 1 or 2, junior or senior, etc.
• When I call them to dinner or for them to help, I only have to yell Steve once.

Mr. Bubblesworth hasn’t been feeling well and is barely eating his fish kibble.

What would the vet even do? They can’t pull him out of the bowl for testing?

Is Santa Cruz southern enough to not be Northern California? What are your thoughts on this?

One night as a teenager, I was driving home around 2am and decided to lay on the horn as I drove down a neighborhood street. I know I was being a fucker but is that illegal?

We have a large business conference next month and we found a fun keynote speaker. In addition to their speech, there will be activities for the employees such as improv comedy and a musical dance challenge.

After sending the company wide announcement, I’m getting the vibe that many employees are less than thrilled.

Is it illegal if there’s disciplinary action for those who don’t participate? We’re spending a lot of money on this so I don’t want it to go to waste.

I just discovered this sub but this story happened over 6 years ago during that made up bullshit virus;

As I walked into Walmart, I was denied entry because I wasn’t wearing a mask. Not being a communist, I questioned why.

After multiple excuses, I demanded to speak with a manager who gave me the same spiel.

Excuse me? I’m a regular customer and this was unacceptable. Not allowing me entry was illegal so I called the cops to report the crime.

I’ve been told that I’m a Karen for doing that but all of my friends on Facebook said otherwise.

Yes, I was the anime kid in high school who sprinted across campus in between classes. One day at lunch, a few classmates were laughing at me which triggered my wolf form. I jumped up on the cafeteria table and growled at them but luckily no one was hurt.

As an adult, I have much more control over it but I’ll never know if I’ll be triggered again. If I lost control and caused a wave of destruction, would I be held liable? Technically it’s not me, it’s the wolf within.

They’re still traditional Carolers dressed in Victorian / Christmas outfits but when you open the door, one of them starts beat boxing and the rest perform a rap song with filthy and sexual lyrics.

For the sake of argument, he has an adequate supply of air, food, and water in the box. We’re paying for overnight shipping so he won’t be in the box for an extended period.

This was summer school so you can already tell I was a bright and gifted mind back then.

Instead of you know, actually studying, I doodled all over my textbooks.

Blacked out teeth. Bearded women. Funny bubble captions.

One of them was a Spanish textbook and there was a chapter on travel and transportation. One of the pages had an illustration of people lined up at the airport security line with their bags on the conveyor belt. I drew one of the men to look like a cliche terrorist and instead of a bag, he had a bomb on the conveyor belt like this 💣

Since it was summer school, you just turned the books back in on a cart, it wasn’t the typical sign your name on the list method so they had no idea. I hope the next kid to use those books had a laugh.

Let’s say I’m standing at the bus stop and let out a particularly evil spirit. Unbeknownst to me, an elderly man standing behind begins coughing profusely and is unable to catch his breath. He collapses on the ground and is pronounced deceased.

If I did not do this intentionally, would I be charged with manslaughter?

No - in fact I drive faster to get out of them sooner

Over night you will become incredibly wealthy where you’ll never need to work again but under one condition:

Every poop you take must be out in the backyard, squatting like a dog. Also during the poop, someone will tap on the window and you have to look over at them.
