Seen that in animes a lot, though it's usually racoons. Pom Poko for example.

Yeah be careful when you tell people you did stuff with miners. They tend to get angry for some reason.What about miners?

I’d rather get a snip than ask my wife to get an invasive surgery. Not trying to imply you guys chose otherwise

Oh I gotcha, mine was decommissioned from reproductive cancer. If that wasn't a pre-existing condition, and it came down to a little snip on me or an invasive procedure on her, I'd take the scissors in a heartbeat.

I assumed something like that. I originally typed more about the different reasons why, but deleted it because your reasons are your own and I didn’t want to pry into her personal details. I hope they got it all and she’s doing alright

She encountered it when she was pregnant with her daughter in her early 20's. Doc basically told her "hey, uh... you got something else going on in there", ran her through chemo, cut out the scar tissue and growths, and sent her on her way after her biopsies came back clean. She was very fortunate that it was caught early, and having one miracle baby was enough for her.

If you showered more, maybe I wouldn’t resist being alone with you as much

I can't find it, there is a pic of washington monument surrounded by bushes and the angle makes it look small, then they trim the bushes and the tag line is something about a good trim makes everything look bigger

The answer to this thread is obviously "could care less", but a close second for me is the way that people will qualify the word "unique" by saying "very unique". I feel like there's a common phrase that uses it that I'm missing, but yeah, that.
Also, I have had a vasectomy too. Yay? I think yay.

Not right after. Very much not right after. But then if you make that mistake the pain and blood will probably give you some clue that you should consider laying off on the masturbation.

That's what I call people who take forever to make a turn or who take a long time at the ATM like it's a restaurant they've never been to before.

I also fell in love with Swype. It worked so well, it was like it was reading my mind. My current keyboard keeps trying to correct "and" to "DVD". It's 2025, which fucking word is more likely to be correct?? And I can't edit the dictionary to just remove it. I've had to re-type at least a couple dozen words so far. It annoys me so much I often abandon posts halfway through.
How is this a thing that's become so much worse???
My own minor annoyance: a mosquito bit me while I was inside my own home a couple days ago. What a fucking asshole.

YES. I used to have a friend who did that and he wouldn't even proofread it, usually resulting in sending me utter gibberish. Made me so mad. Yeah I'm sure it was convenient for him, nevermind all the extra effort he dumped onto the people reading his texts.
Haha, I used to have an Irish boss, and one day he left me a voicemail, which my phone converted to text. It was such absolute nonsense that I actually listened to the voicemail (not a thing I ever do) because I was concerned somebody left me a message while having a stroke.
Trailers before movies in theaters are acceptable. But they've also started showing random ads and that's absolute bullshit.
Also four way stops: you don't have to wait for all other cars to completely clear the intersection before you even lift your foot off the brake. If you're turning left and they're going straight and you're across from each other, just go at the same time! By the time you need to start turning, they will be out of the way.

Luckily, most people near me understand this, which surprisingly includes the canadians. There's a 4-way at the nearest Walmart to go in and out of the parking lot. Everyone understands that whoeverwas there first goes first and from there either yield to right, or if someone is turning, the other sides can go at the same time as long as you're not cutting them.
That does remind me. On the same lot, there's this one right turn that has it's own lane. Basically half the people that drive from there don't understand that it also turns into its own lane. It's more like a curve than a turn, but I see people stop there all the time when they can just go. 0 chance of getting hit by anyone unless someone aggressively runs over a curb into them as well.

Must be nice. I live in Oregon, where if you approach at the same time as another driver, you could just immediately go with no risk of a collision. Because there is zero chance the other driver will move within the next thirty seconds. Even if they arrived first and you repeatedly waved at them to just fucking go already.
I know this for a fact because I once got so annoyed that I started doing just that. It took literally months for another driver to try to go at the same time as me, and we still resolved it faster than the usual "you go" "no, you go" dance people usually engage in. (There was still no risk of collision; we both immediately stopped after we realized we were both using the same trick.)
I feel like I already posted this rant once... And it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things... But I honestly can't comprehend how an entire state of people can be so awkward around stop signs.

Roundabouts. Always bums me when people stop when they're in the circle. Thought that's probably a major frustration.
A minor about roundabouts is that nowhere did people learn to use their signals in them. Signaling when you're exiting makes things work so much smoother. Eventually, you do learn if they're exiting or continuing depending on where they're driving in it, but it could be nicer and smoother.

When people know how to use them properly, they are amazing

What?? Why not just have one normal roundabout with five exits?

That looks like fuckin chaos tbh. If that's a magic roundabout, it must operate on some form of dark or forbidden magic.

There is no way this would result in anything besides utter chaos in the States. I had to prevent somebody from driving the wrong way through a roundabout the last time I used one. (You'd think them seeing me going the correct way would've clued them in. It did not.)
