If it’s a plastic-wrapper-sealed fortune cookie, I crush the cookie within the wrapper, then read the fortune. If it’s a really good one, then I’ll open the wrapper and release it.
Yes, I have to explain to my one dog that she is too young to drive and must get in the back. My other dog already knows this.
Joking aside, they’re usually declarative statements about either my properties (“You’re a fun guy!”) or my immediate future.
It did happen that three times in a row I got a completely blank fortune - slip of paper, no print on it. Given that fortune cookies are 100% accurate predictions about the future, that was…disconcerting.
I have full on conversations, well ok, one sided conversations with our dogs!
I should imagine, that is Twilight Zone stuff.
Hmm, blankness. You haven’t become a Bodhisattva have you?
Oh, the cracks from roots etc are ok, it’s the seams between concrete slabs you need to look out for.
Maybe you flirt with root cracks, but my mom has practically bought a yacht for her chiropractor with how often she’s gone to him. I can’t take chances.
When I am counting things, I rush past 13 as quickly as possible.
I eat the entire cookie before reading my fortune.
…otherwise my fortune won’t come true.
If I don’t like the fortune I won’t eat the cookie. Then it can’t get me. :rolleyes:
Telling my critters every day: “Alright guys, I’m off to work. Y’all be good.”
I post on SDBM to fight against ignorance and for civility.
Patently that is megalomania and totally irrational.
Red, obviously. They haven’t used the Blue character in YEARS. (But he’s almond, so he has that going for him.)
Anyway…for me, I always have to eat/drink certain things with certain vessels - there’s one specific bowl that I prefer to have my ramen in (although I will use the others with the same shape if that one is dirty…I just use it preferentially). And I MUST have an opaque plastic or ceramic mug for milk. It just doesn’t taste right from a glass.
I always go to the kitchen for water. It tastes better than bathroom water.
When copying text from the computer screen, I always press Ctrl + C multiple times, in case once wasn’t enough.
Wow.
Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) insists that if you don’t eat a piece before you read it, it won’t come true.
Nonetheless, most of them say things like, “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.”
I do a little semicircular hand wave, with two fingers extended, whenever I trigger an automatic door. It makes me feel like a Jedi.
It’s reached the point where I often do’t even notice I’m doing it.
I’ve just been in hospital and I’ve got this electronic sucker thing attached to a wound on my leg. I got upset when I was told that it would “die” after a week and would have to be replaced (the bandages are replaced more frequently). It was totally nuts, they aren’t alive, they can’t “die”.
Obviously you have to point at it and say “Stay!” after you put the remote down. (Got this from someone who dated a relative a long time ago.) Works remarkably often.
