Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Back when I was like 9, on my birthday, I went and knocked on a neighbor's door. Told her it's my birthday and left. This was someone I'd never spoken to before.

Later that night she shows up at our house with a stuffed bunny. Turns out she interpreted "It's my birthday!" as "We're having a party and you're invited!" not "I just wanted everyone to know!" like I meant it.

My mom made some emergency tea and received her in our messy living room. They ended up becoming friends after that.

I couldn't imagine doing anything like that as an adult. Just knock on a stranger's door to announce it's my birthday and walk away lol.

We were at a party and my youngest, who was around 3 years old at the time, came running up to me, all excited, to yell "her look like a PIG! Like a PIG, mommy!" very loudly while jumping up and down and pointing at a girl, who, to be fair, did have a turned up nose that looked distinctly porcine. My kid did not mean this as any sort of insult at all, she was delighted by finding a girl who looked like a pig. Oh no.
