The other day I answered the door to my postman. I was signing for stuff, like you do, when my kid came downstairs with only his underwear and a t-shirt on.

Now, the postman couldn’t see him from the front door, and I scribbled my signature and said, to my son, “You need to put some trousers on.”

My postman, very slowly, looked down at his trouser-clad legs with a mixture of confusion and horror, and then looked back up at me.

When I explained I was talking to my little boy out of his line of sight, he gave a very solemn nod and said: “I thought I’d put trousers on this morning, but suddenly when you said that, I really wasn’t sure.”

Years after this, I still have the same postman. He still always wears trousers, but every time I answer the door, I’m pretty sure we both remember this incident.

obsessed with this girl in my bio class who always brings a full litre bottle of coke to every lesson, today she said “im just genuinely not a nice person” to my bio teacher when he asked her why she swore so much. In year eleven before one of our gcse exams as we were lining up outside the exam hall she came up to me and said “what exam is this” and when i told her physics she said “yeah i think i can do that” and got in line

[shacklesburst]

absolute queen

i mean how do you even snort it out of a bottle. that takes some serious technique

[literaphobe]

the fact that you think it’s coke the drug and not coke the drink makes this so much better thank you stranger

is it just me or do the golden globes/award shows as a whole feel like a celebrity circle jerk??? they’re sitting around in expensive clothing drinking expensive alcohol while giving each other awards and lecturing the general public about donating to causes that they themselves could easily allocate resources to???

it’s really common for all animals to act like dogs in fiction and I always assumed that was the case with stuff like frozen and santa’s reindeer but i had no idea domesticated reindeer really do just look like that

best thing i learned today: “The Loud American” role in Japanese businesses

[canadiangold]

nobody asked but imma explain anyway

no idea how it came up, but my programming prof was talking about his friend who works for Nintendo Japan who’s secondary role is The Loud American, and my prof explained what that was and how it came about

see, in Japan you do not talk back to your boss. you just don’t, even if they have stupid ideas and want the company to act on them. Like Nissan did sometime back. But since the other employees couldn’t do anything about this terrible idea that would ruin the company, they called in an American who had no reservations about telling the boss that their stupid idea was a stupid idea

and that’s just become a role in Japanese businesses, where they keep an American on staff who plays up the American stereotype and tells the boss what the Japanese employees can’t or won’t out of societal norms

dream job.

How much do they pay per hour for me to sit around and every so often storm into the bosses office and call his ideas stupid as fuck?
