Assuming this is real, this is probably some shit he used to do when he was a kid, maybe with his parents or older sibling or something, and he still occasionally does it because of nostalgia or habit. Maybe he only just then realized it was weird for an adult to do. I'm really reading a lot into this, but that was my first thought is all

Honestly, that would be the most plausible explanation and for me at least that indicates a good father-son relationship, as this would be some shit my father would be doing with me when I was a toddler.

But I also assume that the actual OOP is hand guy and he imagines a potential partner catching him in the act.

We affectionately call this 'The CLAW!!!!!'.

I had no idea why we did it... but it's probably because of a wrestler back in the 80s called Baron von Raschke

I recommend everyone do this to children everywhere. They eat that shit up.

It's in a Jim Carrey film too, I seem to recall.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Oh shit I do remember that... That's too new for us though. I'm glad he kept it alive.

Liar liar. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jVF-ugA2Atk

Anyone who icks over their partner having a little bit of harmless, dumb fun doesn't deserve their partner IMO

Using "the ick" unironically is way worse

Nobody is gonna comment how weird it is that she went to his place unannounced and sneaked into his room to spy on him instead of ringing the door bell or calling for him when she enters?

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 102 points 2 years ago

she has a key and didn't want to wake him. It's not weird if they're close

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. If you’re dating for 6+ months, you get keys and the expectation not to wake someone when they might be sleeping. Respecting boundaries is sexy as fuck.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

She has a key, they are close and somehow she is doubting the relationship cause she saw him do silly things when he thought he was alone?

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Interestingly, successful relationships require making mistakes, accepting them, and growing. If she hadn't learned that now, she will.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody made a mistake here though? She just needs to chill, if the biggest worry she has is how silly her boyfriends can be when alone then she already has the perfect relationship

[-] bastion@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Well, she seems to have maybe made a mistake in judging it.. ..but, that's natural. It takes time for people to become comfortable with 'weird' things. There aren't as many examples of people being quirky as there are of people being image obsessed, and that's hard for some people to shake.

But overall, agreed.

Add a Baby Yoda oven mitt and I'm in.

Coming to get you, the hand is.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

You sick fuck

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 years ago

can confirm, this is some boredom shit.

[-] bbb@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 years ago

Fellas, is it icky to have an imagination?

[-] c0ber@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

anon does not deserve him

[-] Wirlocke 17 points 2 years ago

They should have immediately reached out their hand and run over saying "The hand is coming to get you!"

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 2 years ago

I would have tried to scare him as the hand reaches him.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I'm glad Stanley Spadowski found love

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

I do this with my phone's flashlight, projecting my hand onto the ceiling
