Gregory's Server8 y/o daughter lost her hearing. Had to learn to sign. Struggled at first as none of her friends knew how to talk to her. One day I noticed our Labrador run to the treat cupboard after she signed "treat?" to her. In the absence of friends our dog had learned sign language for her

Whenever some reply guy gives me his tedious opinion, I say "Whoa! That's interesting. Tell me more?" Then I mute them. Some of them carry on replying for months. I like to think it stops them bothering others.  @fesshole gasping from the lack of petty divorces and coprophiles in this conveyed fess ππ» My girlfriend knows I'm a SciFi fan and she recently discussed dressing up, suggesting, obviously, the Princess Leia slave outfit. Now, I'm not unreceptive, but I'd rather she wore Colin Baker's multi-coloured sixth Doctor's coatβthough I'm not sure if I should tell her. Start with something you can show an example of and work your way there slowly, this iconic look was 2 generations earlier. Man living alone here. Just burped quite loud and my google assistant was activated. I'm now reconsidering my life choices.  @fesshole Siri on my Apple Watch is often triggered by washing my hands in the bathroom. But not in the kitchen. π€·ββοΈ Had to check if I had haemorrhoids the other day and it's surprisingly hard to take a picture of your anus with a phone. Have gained a new respect for cam girls. My employer added a clause in my last NDA stating that I was prohibited from saying anything "disparaging" about the company. Now when anyone asks about job postings I tell them, "I'm contractually obligated not to say anything disparaging about them." None have ever applied.

@fesshole Fun fact about any contract: They're not binding if you move to a country with no extradition treaty. ;) @fesshole @gsuberland Usually these clauses (or the entire NDA) come with an expiration date. A new hire had such a clause and he told us when that NDA would expire. We then scheduled a meeting one day after the expiration to talk about it. Sometimes, when my cat is mad at me, I pretend to be on a phone call explaining to a friend why she's the best cat in the world. It always cheers her up and she cuddles with me after. I've never told anyone until now. @fesshole Cats aren't people. Keep that in mind. Also, don't tell anyone you're friendly with this story, ever. @fesshole I directly apologize to my cats if I upset them - many times, repeatedly. Until now, I had not considered that maybe they forgave me because they were annoyed by repeated apologies and just want me to stop apologizing. πΉ |
@fesshole Dogs are our best friends. Plus, "treats".β€
@fesshole *wipes tear away
we don't deserve Dogs yet still they keep giving us a chance. β€οΈ
@fesshole I seem to remember there was a scientist who taught an Orangutan quite an extensive sign language repertoire so they could talk to each other
