This is probably my favorite trend on Tiktok. So I’m stealing it and using it here because I thought it might be fun.
Just say the weird thing:
Sometimes when I avoid an accident. Like I tipped over a glass of tea but I managed to catch it before it spilled everywhere. I think about the “me” in a parallel universe where I DID in fact spill that glass of tea. And I think to myself: "I sure am glad I’m not that other me right now!! "
As I was walking the dog down the sidewalk this morning, I noticed along both sides of the sidewalk were thickly growing weeds that almost looked like miniature trees. I thought, if I was a bug, this sidewalk would be like a nice country highway.
A friend visited us over the holiday weekend. We were outside throwing balls for the dogs. I whispered to my gf, asking if we should go over to the pond and she agreed.
So, I said, loudly, “POND”. The dogs went immediately berserk . Our friend had no clue why. My gf started walking over toward our pond. Dogs and friend went with her while I grabbed wine, glasses, and cheese.
Whenever I’m doing physical work in close quarters with another person (for example, putting away groceries with my husband), I fantasize that we’re actors performing a scene together and really nailing the blocking. It’s funner that way.
When I walk into a bar, it’s similar to walking up to a line of urinals. There is an etiquette to it. I was once sitting at a bar in a near empty establishment. There were 3 guys each tending to their own beer. We were spaced equally apart.
A woman walked in, scanned the bar, then sat down next to me! I was reading on my phone and it really shocked me a bit. I put my phone in my pocket, picked up my pint, and moved down the bar a few seats. She gave me the evil eye for some reason, but I don’t think I did anything wrong.
When lying in bed, I like to look up at the ceiling (plaster, with thousands of little dents and protrusions) and pretend I’m an astronaut on a space station gazing down at the Himalayas.
