That unnecessary comma makes this read like a command

One time I was biking on a residential road and slowed down to enter a roundabout, and the driver behind me laid on the horn, so I stopped my bike in the middle of the lane and turned my head to face him.

He opened his door, so I stood up and laid my bike down.

He stayed behind his open car door and said

you're lucky I don't have my glock on me

and I responded

You could just hit me with your car

And he just gently got back in his car without saying anything else (and did not, thankfully, decide to hit me with his car)

I Appreciate Your Feedback!

It sounds like my response might have come off a bit formal or scripted. I'm here to provide information in a way that suits you best! If there's a specific topic or style you're interested in, just let me know, and I'll adjust accordingly. Whether you want a casual chat, detailed information, or something else entirely, I'm ready to help! What’s on your mind?

I'm a therapist in Florida USA, and my duty to report is the same as a psychiatrist's- legally required if under 18yrs, and "ethically obligated" if 18+ (obviously up to provider's informed discretion though)

I give them a false address anyway so they couldn't commit me if they tried lol

With my own clients, I try to get their permission ahead of time to make that decision for them should it come to that. If they don't give me permission, I won't ever have them involuntarily committed. I have convinced a client to go voluntarily once though, and gave them a ride myself

When I was about 7/8yrs old, I ended up in an elevator alone with an elderly couple who proceeded to debate with one another whether I was a boy or a girl, while making direct eye contact with me.

The woman argued I must be a girl because of my pretty hair and face, while her husband was sure I must be a boy, given my... outfit and eyebrows? They never bothered to asked me, and I exited the elevator without saying a word to them

I'm just sitting here refreshing this thread waiting for more stories, so I'm gonna share another one.

I was talking to a black man with the most gorgeous blue eyes. I complimented him on his eyes, and he asked, genuinely, "you know how I got blue eyes?", and there's really only 3 options- 2 mixed parents, or 1 white and 1 mixed, so I took a stab at it and said "you got a white dad?" This man's eyes went WIDE like I was a damn witch. He got real serious and asked "how'd you know that??" I told him I just guessed, but it was clear he didn't believe me as he scratched his chin and put some distance between us

This is a great question!

When I was like 17, I was driving (the speed limit, no music playing) through my friend's neighborhood when I passed a woman out grabbing her mail. I gave a little wave and smiled, and she looked at me like I had just punted a fucking infant.

I felt so offended, and I've never forgotten that look on her face- I would love to know what her perspective on this is/was.

Well landlords are the badguys so...

I've been trying to find it but struggling. It was a tweet, originally in another language, that someone translated to English and posted a screenshot of (to R*ddit I think) which said (paraphrasing) "Biden looks like he crapped his pants on accident, and Bibi looks like he crapped his pants on purpose" and it was in response to an article featuring this photo

This Waffle House is in Crawfordville FL btw, for some context.

Also, idk if it makes a difference really, but this isn't a 24hr location

Edit: it just opened a couple months ago, so that may have something to do with it not being open 24/7 (yet?)
