Coming up with a funny idea for staying safe while riding a bike in the street

Just saw a guy on a dating app showing off his baseball hat that says "pedophile hunter" with an emblem of a rifle. Dudes like that are definitely compensating for something

Ha!! I can't believe i got it out. Let this be a lesson to all of you: keep dental tools around

The next hurdle will be finding where the spare keys are, or if i even have them anymore

Found the spare keys! Things went from terrible to triumphant in less than an hour

@tsherrygeo it turned up though, and that's the important thing!

This sucks. Good thing it happened at home though

I'm getting yelled at by text by some guy who asked for something I was giving away for free on Craigslist.

He emailed me last night to say he wanted it and gave me his number, saying "you can reach me either by calling me or texting me."

I text him right away, but I never heard back. This afternoon, someone else asked for the item, so I said sure.

Tonight the first guy text me back and said he wants the item. I said I was sorry, but since he didn't reply for almost an entire day, I offered it to someone else.

He rudely text back and said, "You didn't call me as I requested. Text messages are silent, but phone calls ring. I could have followed through if you had called as I requested."

I guess he thinks "calling or texting" means "call only."

Too bad for him! I would have still given him second dibs if the other person flakes, but since he's being a dick, he gets no dibs at all

@ferrix yea, it would be going to his house and stealing something from him. definitely worth the effort for the spite value

Found something on a free book rack at work

@stoneymonster I didnt realize people were still using the big floppies in the 1990s

A Madagascar periwinkle escaped captivity as an ornamental in someone's yard and found a new home for itself in this gutter. It looks like its doing pretty well for itself despite a hardscrabble life

@lolcat @botvolution This movie, where she plays a linguist attempting to communicate with aliens who have arrived on earth before miscommunication leads to something catastrophic

Taco Bell is advertising a $7 meal box as a flashback to the '90s like anyone would have paid $7 to eat at Taco Bell in the '90s

They're not fooling me

@botvolution The only way to get past the hurdle of misunderstanding is more communication

@botvolution If they're talking to you on your radio, why aren't you talking back?

Cool glitchy bus display

The gardeners just blew a mini haboob through my bedroom window with their leafblowers

This bike pump is only a few months old and it's already broken because this tiny part failed. I'm tired of everything being junk these days
