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 [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'll go first:

First day of highschool, slipped and fell in a puddle of vomit, and some kids laughed. Sheepishly went to the bathroom and rinsed my uniform, and put it in my bag. Spent the rest of the day in gym clothes which I luckily had that day, still smelling like vomit though.

Good thing when you don't know anyone yet is nobody remembers.

My wife and I hosted a Christmas gathering at our place with a few friends as well as some acquaintances.

We had organized Secret Santa and I was given someone but on the day of the event I thought that we had been tasked with giving gifts as couples — I thought my wife had chosen a gift but it turned out that I had just totally forgotten to buy one for the person I drew.

"Aren't you happy about the half-full roll of toilet paper secret Santa gave you? It was definitely very deliberate and though out.."
