Tali Is My Spirit Animal

I've been in a situation somewhat like this. I have 2 older brothers and they were about to leave for a tournament so I hugged them since I wouldn't see them for a while. They were riding with some friends and one asked "where's my hug?" Frankly, I didn't even know his name, he was just one of the many guys that are on the team. I didn't want to hug him, but I didn't want to seem rude, so I made an obnoxiously rude comment that could only be taken as a joke, "No, you smell worse than that time my dog got sprayed by a skunk." He didn't smell, but everyone burst out laughing, and a few of them high fived me and they started ragging on the guy.

Now, this was a different situation and I'm pretty sure he was only saying that as a joke, but making jokes like that has always been how I respond to things like that. If you don't want to be rude, say something so rude and laugh, so it has to be taken as a joke. If you don't want to be obnoxious, be so obnoxious it's funny. Say he smells. Say you don't want cooties. Say you have a skin eating desaese that's incredibly contagious. If he STILL hasn't gotten the hint and won't leave it alone, than be a complete asshole, because at that point he's also being one.

Hope this helps!

srsly tho this is absolutely a thing that dudes do all the f***ing time

like where if he knows a girl doesn’t necessarily want to give him a hug, he will trap her in this position in front of witnesses where she has 2 options- both of which are undesirable for her, while simultaneously desirable for him

if she doesn’t want to hug him, whatever she does, it will suck for her.

she can 1. say nah and be the fucking asshole in front of other ppl or 2. forsake her corporeal boundaries and allow unwanted intimate contact

it’s a f***ing trap

Am I the only one a little worried about some of those thoughts? Like, are you ok? Do you want a hug or something? Just me? Yeah? No? Ok

Pretend ur invasive self hating thoughts r being said to u by a 13 y/o boy on xbox live trying to get a rise out of you like “Your girlfriend dumped you because you’re ugly” that’s nice tim isn’t it past ur bedtime

being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think you’re exaggerating and/or lying

This got so much better since the last time I saw

the sudden decrease in animation quality between the first hunchback and the sequel is both hilarious and sad 

So I just made a joke that "more women should poison their husbands" to my cool boss and then immediately found out that he got divorced because he was poisoned by his ex-wife

The singular form of "lice" is "louse"

If the singular form of “mice” is “mouse”, shouldn’t the singular of “lice” be “louse”?

Just one of those little things you don't notice until someone points it out.

New Year Do You: Just Take The Damn Compliment Already

Give a man a compliment, on anything from his hair to his drink choice, and the assumption is usually that you’re looking to get horizontal with him. Give a woman a compliment, and she’s more likely to deflect it, for fear of being thought vain or full of herself.
