Old dude came in the shop and when I said “lemme know if you have any questions” he goes “what was the name of Alexander the Great’s horse,” thinking he was so funny. I told him Bucephalus, and he was so disappointed. Like his whole day was hanging on beating me at trivia. He says “you’re only the second person who knew that” and I said “well, probably the third if you count Alexander the Great.” He left without buying anything, and did not say goodbye. I think I honestly hurt his weird little feelings! Sorry I’m a bitch, old man!
I had one of these once, bookshop customer randomly challenged me to name, quote, ‘the only word in English where two u’s are next to each other’, and when I immediately said ‘vacuum’ he looked disappointed and when I pointed out it isn’t even the only word with two u’s next to each other in English and offered ‘continuum’ as an example he looked like I’d just punched his ribcage out his back like a Mortal Kombat character

Bruh it’s not that hard to let go of Harry Potter why does it have such a gorilla grip on some of u people. “It’s a cultural phenomenon” okay? it’ll never be SpongeBob.

theres something very beautiful to me about annual rewatches of over the garden wall. this show came out in 2014 and every year in september my dash is flooded with otgw gifsets and content. as an australian i usually get annoyed at american autumnal celebrations bc theyre so unrelated to the springtime im currently enjoying, but theres something about this tiny weird cartoon that we’ve all been watching and rewatching for seven years that warms my heart
