OMG I did EXACTLY the same thing! It was even called ‘Save the Animals’ and everything! We made posters and badges that said - wait for it - “save the animals” on them. It was very effective campaigning.

We had someone break into our house while we were asleep, and it was creepy as fuck. We didn’t realise until like noon the next day. The intruder only nicked stuff from the (empty) downstairs bedroom, so we think they just came in, grabbed what they could, then bolted.

“...Nazi-themed nicknames, including the Fuhrer, Gruppenfuhrer and Sturmbannführer.”

Choice highlights of my own:

Not gross, just embarrassing. When I was 14 or so I freaked out that I couldn’t get my tampon out, and my mum drove me to the doctors in tears to get it removed so I wouldn’t get TSS.

I only read the beginning of this headline before shouting to my boyfriend, “Oh no, that cat I was telling you about didn’t live to 31 after all!”.

I had a Dutch friend visit me in England once who looked at a menu then asked - oh so innocently! - what blood pudding was. I was like “Yeah, it’s a pudding made outta blood. Sorry.”

“There were guys coming up and taking photos of her. It felt really kind of exposed. If there had been a shooting at a fashion show, I wouldn’t have been surprised.”

A guy I lived with in my final year of uni hid all the spoons in his room and then threatened to cut my head off.

So I found out my dad was a secret smoker when I was 16. We were watching Die Hard and a packet of cigarettes fell out his pocket, and I picked them up and was life ‘What....?’

My friend matched with him on Tinder - AND DIDN’T GO ON A DATE WITH HIM?!?!
