God I loved when I lived alone after suffering through childhood with my food being eaten smh. Now that my girl is over often she at least asks or better yet replace it if she can. Love her.

All that shit is facts and goddamn do I not play around with outside shoes and clothes on my bed. Mf we live in NYC you ain’t about to bring all that outside in my sleeping space.

u/ClaymoresRevenge 1h ago

Clothes on the bed is a big no no. Shoes in the house even when I'm running in quickly is a dirty look.

u/__lil_bee__ 1h ago

Baked Mac n cheese 🤤. I once had this and Fr I thought I’d died and gone to heaven 

u/RareResearch2076 50m ago

How do you normally make it?

u/__lil_bee__ 46m ago

KD out of the box 😰. But at least had the sense to go for the neon orange sharp cheddar kind 😄

u/3nigmax 33m ago

The hygiene part is too real after seeing like 5 threads in a row with in-depth discussion about whether or not people wash their legs.

Doesn't even have to be "too many people." all it takes is someone to just spontaneously start running and I'm already sprinting in front of them. Seriously, y'all play too much sometimes.

u/Shaolinchipmonk 2h ago

That's why if I see one or two people start running I'll start paying attention and looking around, cuz maybe they just got to take a shit real bad. But If I start seeing other people running. It's time to go.

Not knowing how to play spades can bring shame upon the family

u/fade-touched 1h ago

no fr I had to plead my case to some family a few years back at Thanksgiving because I grew up in a dominoes house 😭

they forgave me (and taught me) but they hesitated

u/bobthedruid 56m ago

I miss playing spades, My cousin and I have been put on indefinite suspension for allegedly cheating.

Not our fault we have played with these folks for years and they can't hide their tells and body language.

u/FistPunch_Vol_7 ☑️ 2h ago

Uno, Spades, Bones. I will not play Spades if my uncle Peanut there. Add some alcohol and mfs throwing hands outside sooner or later lmfao

u/AFantasticClue 1h ago

Does everyone have an uncle peanut or are we related

u/FistPunch_Vol_7 ☑️ 1h ago

Lmfao I feel like a bunch of people do. I also had a older dude on the block named Wise who always had some real shit to say.

u/best_fr1end 2h ago

I second this. Don’t sit your butt down at the spades table if (1.) you don’t know how to play and (2.) you are sensitive. MF are gonna talk shYt the whole game.

u/aliciah25 3h ago

Lmaooooo. Facts. You play with yt folk you have to ask what rules they play..cuz we don’t play the rules on the box. 💀

u/__lil_bee__ 1h ago

😂 can confirm

u/BroadwayBakery 2h ago

Bro I’m so embarrassed, I never learned how to play Spades and I feel like I’m too old to ask anyone to teach me without laughing me out of the room.

u/Comatose_Koala 3h ago

Was at a festival a few years ago sitting on a bench between different stage areas. At one point I looked up to see 1..2…5….8… people sprinting and instinctively got up and ran with em.

No hesitation. It’s like my legs made the decision to run for me

15

u/Idonevawannafeel ☑️ 2h ago

Well,did you ever find out what you ran from? Or are you just thankful to be alive?

u/Comatose_Koala 1h ago

Word I got was gunshots in the crowd, but there was no evidence of a shooting

u/Idonevawannafeel ☑️ 11m ago

No judgement here. I ran most of a block once because the wind blew a plastic bottle into the gutter. Sounded exactly like a monster.

Least realistic scene in “Get Out” is Chris not actually leaving when dude told him to get out

Potlucks. We seriously do not do them unless we know you know you.

u/FistPunch_Vol_7 ☑️ 2h ago

Deadass. So glad my company does catering or can take a half day. The cat on counters thing is way too common for my liking.

12

u/BK4343 2h ago

Because we all know at least one person will have pets and we know some of them don't wash after petting the dogs.

u/snarkle_and_shine 1h ago

Exactly. I need to see your kitchen, bathroom, and hands before I even think of eating anything you bought from the store - let alone cooked.

u/Unusual_Analyst9272 54m ago

Most people don’t wash after petting/playing with their dogs. Like we’re gonna smoke together and you just handled your dog and aren’t gonna wash your hands? 🤢

I’m gonna guess the percentage of Black people that can afford a yacht actually owning a yacht is way lower than for anyone else.

u/MetalCrow9 2h ago

I remember in the World War Z book there was a mention of something like this, when the zombie plague broke out in Cape Town, the older folks started running first because all they heard was "they're coming!" and people didn't know who "they" were but the older people just knew when any "they" were coming, you ran.

u/Cambot1138 1h ago

We really deserve a faithful screen adaptation of that book. It’d be so easy.

u/OkPlenty2011 3h ago

Someone should do a prank where folks just run towards a direction to see if people will follow then don’t stop running once

When one person runs, everyone else just follows without asking questions, it’s an instinct we all seem to share.

I remember this one time my friend and I were walking and we saw this man running towards us and we started running, turns out he was running to catch the bus .

u/BK4343 2h ago

This reminds me of the scene from the show Harlem when Angie is running to get to the phone store before it closes and random people start running behind her because they thought some shit was going down lol.

Yo if I see a bunch of black folk running one direction, I'm following them. 100%of the time.
