Casual Conversation

1238 readers

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.

How did people survive before noise cancelling headphones? Like god damn, I would've murdered someone by now if I had no way to suppress all the noise. (sh.itjust.works)

The one major exception is the neighbour's dog, goddammit I hate her owner, the dog keeps barking and howling because she's bloody bored, can't anyone take her to a walk?

We have such a neighbor too. She is also also an alcoholic (and so is her adult son, btw). Which means that she will shout at any hour of the day or the night and will walk her dog likewise at any hour, it is one of those angry pocket dog that constantly barks.

It's pitiful to watch and it's a real pain to deal with them too (not mentioning they're also very... abusive). They've become sort of legendary in the neighborhood... as well as with the local police. Real sad.
