A guy I used to golf with was attacked by a huge flock of enraged Canadian geese a few years ago. Apparently, he got too close to their nesting area while looking for one of his errant drives. Several large male geese grabbed his legs and dragged him further into the underbrush where more geese were waiting to ambush him. The geese proceeded to dismember him. Aside from his golf bag, there was little left when the groundskeepers found him. He was forensically identified through dental records. I suspect that this incident was rather rare and probably occurs only a few times a year on any given golf course here in the Midwest. Perhaps attacks like this are more common further south into the Carolinas or gulf coast states. I don’t have any data on the subject but suspect that the total number of goose related human fatalities numbers less than 1000. Not a huge number compared to traffic accidents, gunshots, COVID-19, cancer, or heart disease but still a large enough number to make you want to be careful around geese.
Alright, let's break this down, shall we?
"***My personality confuses people. I enjoy being alone a lot, but I am very outgoing and social.***" Fair enough, but you're describing a pretty significant faction of humans. It's really not that confusing. In fact, most extroverts would agree that they also occasionally like being alone. Anyway, let's move on.
"***My environment dictates how I behave.***" Congrats, you made a very astute observation about living organisms and how they respond to external stimuli.
"***Sometimes I am loud. Sometimes I am quiet.***" Literally the only people this statement doesn't apply to are mute folks.
"***I read the energy and adjust.***" Again describing how living beings react to their environment but it's a factually true statement so I'm not even mad.
"***Can you relate?***" Oh I dunno. Can I relate to a bunch of generic statements describing the majority of humans written in a pretentious way to make them sound like something that's remarkably quirky and unique to you? You're a goose, mate.
We all have to start somewhere…
Together with u/_Exordium, I have vastly upgraded, updated and improved my original FAQ to include terms and concepts that have been missing for some time. There have been massive rewrites, corrections and additions throughout. I feel this is now completely up to date, though I hope to come back to it frequently to ensure it stays that way. I see this as a fantastic jumping off point for explaining GME and the situation surrounding it, though I do not intend for this to substitute the DD in any way, shape or form. #We all have to start somewhere…

That's literally what I've been told on the car ride to each family function we've ever had. I'm not kidding. Either my father or mother will say those exact same words. One time I jokingly said them myself before either of them could, but then my mum repeated them anyway acting like she didn't hear me.
They emphasize the importance of tradition so much because they know I can't stand our holiday evening with the extended family. To be honest, I can't stand those people in general. You see, my extended family is incredibly odd. They always have been, forever will be, and every time I see their peculiar faces, I notice even more how strange everything about them is. Especially now that I am growing older.
My grandma was a horrible woman, my uncles are greedy, rude men, my aunts do nothing but pick you apart. And don't even get me started on my cousins. Loud, annoying, and incredibly disgusting little kids that make one evening together feel like being stuck inside a dreadful school cafeteria for an entire month. Luckily, I don't see them often. We only ever get together during the holidays in December. So technically it's not a bad deal, a night spent with the sticky cousins for a year of peace from this family.
My aunt Margaret always hosts. It used to be my grandmother before she passed away a few years ago. As my aunt inherited the house, she also took over the pleasure of being the host for holidays.
"Welcome home my lovelies!" Aunt Margaret stood on the porch of the familiar old house as we got out of the car. Her red hair was blow-dried, she was wearing a violet dress that looked like it should have been left in the fifties as well as grandma's familiar apron with lemons on it.
Mum jumped up the stairs with the kind of energy she never usually has and gave her sister a big hug. Dad followed with the bottle of wine they bought in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.
"Happy holidays, Margie!" He said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Everything was exactly the same as always, which means that I was next.
Margaret waited for me as I made the last step up the stairs to the porch, then she gave me a hug so tight that I felt this morning's breakfast moving up to my throat
... keep reading on reddit ➡So I am a repman. Found the rep community when researching watches and jewelry online. Sadly, there is not much out here for me. I am a 35 year old ex football player now working in finance. I am not really interested in Air Jordans - I feel like people would want to talk to me about them, and I would have no idea what they are. Ferragmos are all too small for me. I would never wear all the logos on fashionreps. The Rep ABC pants fit me like tights, and I buy auth watches (have you seen how much they appreciate!). My wife however is into it, and it is now a shared hobby picked up during covid. We havent had a miss yet. Mays Lulu has been a hit. 187 bags are on point. Fisherman Valentino's and Gucci loafers all solid. Beans Balenciaga great. VCA from XY, amazing!
I finally saw reviews on fashionreps for something that might fit, a new Canada Goose seller in American sizes (ninja in stone - love my coat btw wore it shoveling snow today), but I had to use an agent. If I am doing this, I may as well get some other things. I do some research and find out from that crazy group that King of Goose makes the best coats for women. I order the Trillium for my wife. I get a small, but that was a mistake. My wife is 5'1 107lbs. Just way too big for her. The coat however, is amazing.
Disclosure: None, I did not get any discount. In fact I didn't even talk to the seller, as I ordered through an agent (sugargoo)

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
I am not the OP. This is a repost sub. This is an all-time classic and I searched this sub and was surprised nobody posted it already.

Hi guys. Would love some advice on how to handle this because I'm just at my wits end with this.
I'm currently living with my boyfriend and his dad in his dad's apartment. Long story short, had my own apartment, some coworkers convinced me to move into their house and splint rent when my lease ended, then all of a sudden they're selling the house and I have to skidaddle. So, my boyfriend and his dad are majorly helping me out by letting me stay here and I appreciate every bit of it. It's only temporary (less than 90 days) and just enough to let me save up for a few months of rents and deposit.
Anyway, I'm planning everything and looking at places and trying to do math, and it's a little bit stressful because it's just going to be the two of us surviving on my single income. I do alright for myself, $25-$30,000 flat rate and usually closer to $35-$40,000 with raises (some parts of my positions have sales-type bonus incentives that are performance-based and not guaranteed). My boyfriend has never worked, and always lived with his parents since high school.
At the moment, he stays home and smokes a large amount of weed, plays video games, and looks at hentai all day. I work full time with 9 hour days during the week and I also work 6 hours on Saturdays. He doesn't really clean or anything, so I'll usually come home from work and start dinner and clean some things before I join him for a dungeon or two in Warcraft.
Today I was really crunching some numbers at work and sent him a message asking if there's any way he'd consider working to contribute, like if there's maybe a part-time job at a pet store (he loves animals) or if I could pay to put him through some college courses to help find a career he'd enjoy. He got pretty upset that I asked, and I tried to assure him that I was sorry and just feeling a little alone in all of this. I then got a few messages from him explaining that he's offended I asked him to get a job, but he knows I didn't mean it as an in
