Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I’m in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don’t want people to look at me and think I’m crazy, or worse ask what I’m laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was “born to shit, forced to wipe”.
Totes.
When you realize how self absorbed people are…
I like to say Cray shit on purpose in lieu of truthful small talk, people usually dead eye respond in normal NPC responses like “Good, you?” or “Have a good one”.
My inner child/voice does use absurdism as a coping mechanism.
Oh for real. I’ve been on the bus and people ask questions like what time it is. I just respond with something wildly unhinged like “Quarter past where the past, present and future all have a collective existential crisis. But if you need a more convential and temporally linear answer, tis probably too late for this nonsense”. I’ve yet to have anyone say anything other than the most generic ass “Cool” response. Some even say thanks which is… hysterical.
That sounds like the kind of thing I’d reply, “Oh, no thanks, I don’t like bowling” to.
