So I was at my girlfriends house, and we were eating dinner. Her dad was telling me that I better treat her well and he said “whatever you do to her I will do double to you”. I look at him silently for a second then I pulled out my wallet and gave my girlfriend 50$. Needless to say, me and her dad are now best friends and a have 100$.

Why would you do that? All of the shit on the street that get in touch with your shoes and then some people even lay in bed with shoes on. Atleast in my country everyone takes their shoes of when they go inside. Is this just some Usa thing since that’s where I seem to notice this on youtube videos and TV shows. It’s much more comfortable anyways to just wear socks or slippers inside. Even in schools we leave our shoes to where we leave our jackets.

EDIT: Thanks for the awards.

I keep seeing posts about how hard it is for people to spend the holidays alone before revealing that they "only" have their spouse, children, or roommates to be with. Since when does that make you alone in any way?? I live by myself, as in me, myself, and I. Party of one plus dog. I have like two acquaintances in this city and I think I've seen a grand total of 5 people since this pandemic started because I would be deeply depressed otherwise. Living alone during all of this cannot be compared to the situations of those who have other human beings they enjoy spending time with living in the same household.

Edit: some of you are taking this post for much more than it was meant to be. Of course you can feel lonely even when you’re with others. I have no desire to compete in the sadness olympics. This was meant for a very specific set of people who are in loving households yet still claim to be alone when in reality they have other humans to interact with every day. Some people here are weirdly obsessed with taking me down mentally and have been commenting on my post history and sending me really shitty messages, so thanks.
