Presumptive new Atty Genl Mukasey shouldn’t need to be told that dunking to get a confession went out with the Salem Witch Trials and that “The Crucible” is a play, not an instruction manual.
One shouldn’t need things like the Stacy Peterson case, AKA: “Oh no! Another missing pretty white woman!” to remind them NOT to marry some grumpy guy 30 years older whose previous wife died under mysterious circumstances.
More?
Generally, it should be assumed that your friends are not going to hook you up with their recent ex-girlfriends, even if you call and ask really nicely when you’re drunk.
It’s also generally assumed that when you’re from New York and you live in Arizona, and there’s a San Diego Chargers sweater in your closet, it’s probably borrowed from, gee, your only friend from San Diego. Furthermore, most people shouldn’t need to be reminded that when they’re jacking it and they need something to come on quickly, it’s helpful to check whatever you pull out of the closet to see if it’s yours or not. Then, it should not be necessary to remind those people that it’s better to “lose” the sweater or at least wash it several times really well before returning it to the friend you borrowed it from.
Don’t stop in the middle of the escalator/ doorway/ stairway/ hallway/ aisle/ sidewalk/ road/ lane/ crosswalk/ path. Ever. Ever.
Ever.
Stop it.
You shouldn’t have to remind an old fuckbuddy that you really don’t care what has been happening in his life since you last saw him, and that you know he doesn’t care what has been happening in yours, either.
Whenever someone returns a borrowed article of clothing with semen-stains on it to me, I usually assume they are hitting on me. Despite rumors to the contrary, it’s never worked.
That’s kind of sad. Even if you aren’t in a relationship with someone, is it unreasonable to expect some type of positive regard for or interest in the lives of the people you have had sex with?
Nah. The point of a FB is the fucking. Everything else is irrelevent.
Kind of takes the buddy out of fuck-buddy doesn’t it?
I’ve had that kind of relationship with a guy, and we still talked about our lives/feelings, that kind of crap. Eh, to each their own.
Normally, yes.
But that’s why he’s not a “friend with benefits.” We’re not friends. And he was the one who decided he wanted it this way. I’m merely acceding to his previously stated wishes.
As with most relationships, there’s a range of intimacy even with friends you have sex with. Fuckbuddies, to me, aren’t even buddies so much as someone you use to scratch an itch while a friend with benefits is pretty much what the title implies, though it’s often pretty casual. Then there’re lovers, who are close friends that also happen to have sex.
I’ve had at least one of each as well as a girlfriend and I honestly don’t care about the fuckbuddy, have little contact with the friends with benefits a year or two later, and still talk to and often think of the lover though it’s been a few weeks since the last time we’ve had any kind of meaningful conversation.
Don’t come to an abrupt stop, your first step off a busy escalator. I see this all the time, and it’s totally mind-numbing that some people don’t get this. Then they’re all indignant that people can’t help crashing into them.
Same with revolving doors, which I hate anyway.
And people shouldn’t need to be reminded to wash their hands in a public restroom.
If you are roundin’ up a group of kindergarteners for a pow-wow (or preschoolers, I don’t know how old they are) don’t do this in front of a pair of heavily trafficed double doors. If this is not immediately obvious to you, then I really have to wonder who put you in charge of said tribe.
(Yes, it was Halloween, and no, that doesn’t make a difference)
Sign on local fire station: Be safe this holiday season. Don’t deep fry your turkey in your garage.
Even if that weren’t intuitively obvious, I’d think everybody who is dumb enough to do it has seen one of the many films of how that can go wrong on You Tube and America’s Funniest Videos. But this Thanksgiving and Christmas morons will again prove me wrong.
And a quick coda to the fuck buddy discussion: People’s feelings can change, especially when the relationship extends beyond the initial hookup, and if all you want is anonymous sex, you are better off with a hooker, someone you meet in a public toilet, or your right hand. And if you’ve named your right hand, it’s still anonymous sex because it isn’t going to talk back. Now get the hell out of my thread! 
From our local news recently: Don’t drive drunk. Most especially, don’t drive an ambulance drunk.
My other head scratcher: The signs on the PA Turnpike that remind “Slower Traffic Keep Right” That is a law. Why do we need reminders of the law posted on signs? Shouldn’t all licensed drivers know this already? If people disregard the law, why would the obey the signs? (they don’t)
You need to pay back your loan. That’s why it’s called a loan, and not a withdrawal.
No, it is not okay to call me at 4:30 in the morning on a weekday just to talk. If you’re calling me at that hour, something had better be wrong.
If you are my little sister, you should make an LJ filter that excludes me. Entries with casual references to “rug burn” and “I accidentally drank a water bottle of Everclear, lol” should be placed under that filter unless you want me to comment on them.
I saw a bumper sticker that said “Brake for moose. It could save your life.”
Strangely, it was not on a bumper; it was on the window of the gatehouse at a construction site near my office.
Are there people who don’t brake for moose unless told to? Are those people motivated strictly by self preservation, and have no regard for the damage to their car or to the moose? And why is it displayed in a place that is likely miles away from the nearest moose. Everything about that sticker intrigues me.
Then you were not FBs. You were FWBs. FBs are people where if you make them crack their head open on the wall in back of the bed, you either could care less or pretend you could, and they extend you that same courtesy in return.
Can the fuck buddy debate be taken somewhere else?
I’m sorry that people took my post as a sign to hijack your thread. I’ll explain my situation in another thread if anyone cares to start one, but personally I don’t think it’s important enough to bother with, or important enough to hijack someone else’s thread for.
