I think the rage was from before, as she had shared a photo of their daughter’s face on her social media without their consent, knowing they did not want their daughter face to be shown on social media. She deleted it, but it obviously triggered him in particular.

Just to piggy back on this.

I don’t give a fuck who she’s dated, everyone makes shitty chemical decisions.

Old man me thought “going bowling” was a euphemism I was unfamiliar with.

I don’t know why anyone would have a problem with him frequenting gay bars. If he’s spending money there and not bothering anyone else, who the fuck cares? 

If all he is doing is drinking and not harassing the other patrons, like for example hitting on the Lesbian couples, or making homophobic comments, then as lesbian leaning bi-woman, I say let him come in. I don’t care. In fact I would say that is him being a good ally, and allies are always welcome in LGBT spaces.

“Bix”

This happened 20 years ago, but I think about it all the time. I was in my early twenties and living in London on a study-abroad year. For spring break I wanted to go on a walking tour of the Lake’s District and stumble around in Wordsworth’s footsteps, but there was a hoof and mouth outbreak and all the trails were…

I agree that makes more sense for most of us as viewers, although I have plenty of family and friends from northern England that do not appreciate their accents regularly being used to imply a lack of class - it’s really just playing on familiar stereotypes, despite the fact that plenty of reasonably wealthy have…

Affleck was perfectly cast in Gone Girl. The character is kind of emotionally disconnected, and that matches Affleck’s basic affect.

I’ve got a story about how apartment hunting can so quickly turn into apartment HAUNTING. Muahahahaha. Seriously though, this was terrifying. It happened about ten years ago and I’m still feeling a little shaky just thinking about it.

It was probably a mistake to put my manic pixie dream girl friend in charge of…

Having actors do an accent is my least favorite translation convention. Imagine Chernobyl with everyone doing a Russian accent. If you’re not going to do it in the native language (which would be hard with medieval French even if you hired french actors) then just have the actors speak in their normal voices. It’s not…

The Dindin Deedee

This happened in April of 2006, towards the end of my Junior year of college.

“December 1941"

I have two contributions. I’ll start with the one that still creeps me out a couple decades later.

I was probably 16-18 years old, spending the night at my grandparents’. My room was at the beginning of a long hallway, and was right next to the hall bathroom. My grandparents’ rooms (they slept separately) were at the…

Not sure if anyone will see this, but here’s something that happened to me about five months ago—two things, actually, separated by about three weeks. The first part is magical and strange, the second part is terrifying. I live in India and these two events took place during our second hard lockdown back in May. We…

One of my best friends growing up lived in a house that was deeply haunted. When I would stay over, sometimes we would sleep in her bedroom, and sometimes, we would sleep in the living room. I always preferred sleeping in her bedroom, because when sleeping in the living room, there would always be something that…

Like a lot of people, I've had a shitty year. In that time span, I've lost several former students, childhood friends, former colleagues, my uncle, and, most importantly, my own father. I've literally been thinking about this day for a couple of months because this contest is just about my favorite thing each year,…

I’ve experienced many a spooky thing in my life but this one hands down is my favorite. I used to live in an apartment building that was originally a doctors house from about 1900. My sensitive friends and I took the time to identify the different ghosts we felt around the house there was a little girl and everyone…
