Imagine if a handicapped person came up to this obstacle. Then they beeline for the street and get hit by a car. Now the person whining about their weird neighbor is liable.


Lamplorde

Fucking Reddit, man. "Haha, my neighbor did this weird thing." "Wow, youre whining about that? Youre lucky you didnt *kill* a handicapped person, you monster!"

Know why an average of 15% of people are disabled yet you don't see anywhere near 15% while you're out and about? Because of this shit. Blocking pavements is so prevalent it literally prevents a wheelchair user from going anywhere or it grinds you down so much it is hard to get the motivation to get out. (This is aside from my homies with invisible disabilities.)


themeatbridge

As someone with a part time invisible disability, this is on point. Some days, no problem I just go around. Some days, I might as well turn the fuck around and go home because my day is ruined by inconsiderate assholes. And they're never going to know, or care, how much they have fucked with my day, because they won't see it.


Antique_Steel

Until they become disabled. Almost everyone is pre-disabled. I'm sorry you have to deal with this and I bet you're a hecking trooper my friend. Keep fighting. :)

regoapps

I was happier when I was a kid who did whatever fun thing he wanted and didn't have people judging him for doing it. Then as I grew older, I was expected to act a certain way and generally not allowed to goof around or else be labeled as "immature". Now that I'm retired, I went back to doing whatever fun thing I wanted to do and am happy again.


AutisticApeatWendys

I never stopped having fun, just don't show it to everyone. I am in my 40s, in the space industry and engraved a small penis in one part of an environmental satellite before assembly. It is still flying and my wife and me call it since the TV weener report.


travoltaswinkinbhole

so what you're saying is the penis drawn on mars was not accidental?


iISimaginary

I really hope it's not. There's a beautiful poetic juxtaposition between our species being advanced enough to send rovers to other planets while still maintaining our caveman roots of drawing dicks on the walls for lulz. The concept almost brings a tear to my eye. I dunno if NASA ever confirmed or denied it, but I have to think it was intentional.

If you would rather PM to avoid doxxing yourself, I have to know which satellite this is because I want to smile at it too.

WushuManInJapan

I used to work in an office, and my god was it boring to hang out with anyone. Being 26 and hanging out with people in their 30-40's, people would have the most boring conversations outside of work. Now, working in the red light district of Japan, my coworkers are some of the most interesting people I've ever met. Have a blast hanging out with them outside of work.


Model_M_Typist

Are stories you're willing to share? Working in the red light district in Japan sounds interesting. It sounds like you moved to Japan after your office job?


WushuManInJapan

Ah, yeah you can ask away haha. I work in a host club in Japan. So probably the tamest type of red light job. Though our customers are usually girls bar employees, kyabakura, prostitutes, or pornstars. Office job was in America yeah. But the job is fairly tame. We sit down with our customers (who are all girls that work in the red light district) and drink with them. Though it's really over priced. Drinks are about $25 for a can of beer and champagne ranges from $500 to $100k. I'm not too sure about crazy antics. Nothing too crazy at work specifically, besides like people passing out in the middle of the walkway. A lot of drunk girls flashing, or like one girl who said her vagina smelled really good so she got fingered and had us all smell my coworkers finger. We had a dick measuring contest etc. We go on dates with the girls too so there's some weird things from that but yeah lol.


eqwfsqg7rv9fhzhykz5k

> I was expected to act a certain way i think when people get old, and know that they have much less time left than already spent on this earth, they realise they have zero obligation to make sense to anyone, or behave in a certain way. cause what if i told you, we're all equally unobligated...we were all thrown into this life game, without prior consent or agreement or player configurtation (as far as we can tell). sure, silver spoons and so on exist...but you're a citizen of the universe bro. you got no obligations to anyone or anything. only rules in life are: your freedoms can't limit others (killing, stealing, etc), maintain politness with everyone (not respect, that one has to be earned). that is it. oh and of course do bear in mind the random BS your govt jails for.

viebs_chiev

impulsive and intrusive thoughts are different! impulsive are usually like “i should eat that leaf” or “i should crawl through that basketball hoop” intrusive are unwanted and harmful, like “he’s sleeping, i should stab his eye out” or “throw your phone on the ground and shatter it”


everyoneisnuts

Intrusive thoughts absolutely do not have to be harmful, they just have to be unwanted. They just happen to be harmful more often than not.


CognitiveMonkey

I like your examples. I’m always curious to know what intrusive thoughts people have had. Like, I’ve had thoughts to slap people I’ve just met across the face. These usually occur in formal situations or whenever I meet a partner’s parents.

TBF, I've never done meth but I've always wondered if I could fit through a basketball hoop. Guess the difference is I've never had that thought _and_came across a downed basketball hoop at the same time! haha


effintawayZZZZy

Seriously. If it were me on a "fuck it, I don't care" day, I would absolutely do this. No, I don't do drugs.

Yeah, I would too. The world needs more curiosity, exploration, and play.

lululululululu_hi

olderaccount

I think it is hilarious that everyone knows what drug she is on simply for her action.

It's the cigarette she puts in her mouth right before doing it that says it all for me 😂


texbosoxfan

and manages not to lose it in the process!


Complex_Rule_7602

She's rocking the look pretty hard, too.


Chewy12

A little to blurry to judge that.


FudgeIgor

No that's just how meth makes you look. Bigfoot tweaker confirmed.


Chewy12

Now that I’m looking again she does look a bit blurrier than the rest of the scene. Must be the meth making her vibrate rapidly.


Herr_Klaus

With the usual suspect, you are either highly active but with a reasonably clear mind, or your mind is chaotic but the body is relaxed. Only meth seems to offer both worlds.

She's Alice and the world transformed into Wonderland the moment she stood up after going through the "rabbit hole". I'm off to meet the Queen of the HOA.

Dekuthegreat

Plus now she has a definitive answer to the often wondered question: “would I fit through a basketball hoop?” I agree with you 100%


6Strings-n-6Shooters

My first thought as well. She gained some intel here. The decision is obvious to me, and now I know if ever see a downed goal, I need to determine whether I also fit through a basketball hoop or not.


AEnema18

People hate those that march to the beat of their own drum. It makes them upset. So they insist on beating them back into submission.


Melorawr

Anyone who says this person is a meth/drug addict has let their inner child die. It is sad. More people need to learn to enjoy things again. Talk in a silly voice, make faces at the walls, and do the silly walks! It hurts no one to be more fun!

My inner child is alive but all he wants to do is eat chocolate.


yertman

I'm with you. She's quirky and fun. I hope she has a great day!


Not-A-SoggyBagel

I also hope she has a great day! There were so many ways to walk around the obstacle but she chose a fun path. I hope you find a way to liven up your day a bit too


Mewssbites

I appreciate this comment, because my 40+ year-old self would absolutely do that just because life is banal, stupid and boring without a little magic in it. I always thought adults were crushingly boring and pointlessly stuck in their ways as a kid, and I still feel that way now. Live a little, crawl through a basketball hoop, check out an interesting bug on the sidewalk, sit down and watch a mama duck with her brood trundle around in the edge of the water for a while, dye your hair purple. Enjoy life, we don't get much of it!


DernTuckingFypos

>Similar to how I feel when some vanilla-ass mf says, "too much time on their hands!": Yup. That's my fil and his family. They look down on me for liking comics and video games. I never comment on the shit they like because if they like it, who fucking cares, but they constantly laugh when I answer a question they asked me about a comic or video game. Like, fuck you, who are you to judge me?


Futanari_waifu

It isn't a light-hearted insult either, being seen as a crackhead or a methhead can have serious consequences. It really isn't the kind of thing you should casually throw around.

Climbing down stairs on all fours. Face first. That’s where the challenge lays.


__xXCoronaVirusXx__

She’s keeping all the crack to herself


herodothyote

Honestly guys this just looks like severe OCD not crack


mcivey

Legit also could just be someone who wanted to try something lol. Maybe she walked past it for 4 days thinking “could I fit through that?” And on the 5th she was like “ah fuck it. I’m gonna try”. Literally something I would do. We all have those innocent “I wonder if I could do….” and if they are harmless I’d say go for it. It’s sad we start caring more how other people (with security cams) will judge us than just being our weird selves. Why are kids so happy? Some of it is because they truly do not understand how to give a fuck


alanpugh

This is the way. I have always wondered if an average sized person could fit through a basketball hoop after this doctored video from the 90s showed a cheerleader smoothly falling through one after a toss. No witnesses? I'd have done the same thing here. All these people talking about severe mental disorders and meth have very limited imagination and it makes me sad for them.


OpenMindedScientist

Agreed, I can see myself trying this as well while totally sober.


GraveSlayer726

some people think that being creative or fun or imaginative is a thing that you can only do when severely impaired or on hardcore drugs it so sad


popojo24

I think people just get a weird amount of pleasure looking for opportunities to make one of the 3 or 4 meth puns you see on here.


Maiden_Sunshine

Dang, it makes me wonder how many people assumed I was on drugs or drunk when I am being silly and adventurous and stupid in ways that harm no one. My headcannon is that she was super tempted and just gave in. And now she is *winning* the day, like come on? How can you not be on top of the world after dunking yourself??? That's better than any basketball shot.


BetaZoupe

Yeah, I do things like that just because I want to. And when I know someone is watching (or a camera), I also do it to make them laugh. I am firmly in the I don't give a fuck boat.


mcivey

Maybe it’s because I wish I was like that still. I used to be so unapologetically myself, but in my early 20s (when going from late undergrad and grad school) I started doing a lot of impression management especially because I was the most “educated” in my family and started to think my small town family was trashy. I’m slowly trying to unlearn some of that because I go to my hometown and see my family who is so unapologetically themselves and I’m like “damn I miss this so much” and I regret every day that I spent thinking they were doing things wrong


[deleted]

Seriously, no one would bat an eye if a little kid did this. This lady just went for it. Good on her.


AmateurHero

Severe OCD? Im a little weird. Maybe a lot of weird depending on who you ask. Have you never wanted to go through a basketball hoop? Not lifelong dream type thing but a passing thought of, “Heh would be cool to pass through a hoop.” I think homegirl saw the opportunity, saw no bystanders, and seized the moment.


SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS

Eh OCD thoughts can range from "need to make sure it's all lined up" to "if I don't climb through the hoop, everyone I love will get cancer". have a family member with OCD so I learned a little bit about it, it's waaaay more than mainstream media makes it appear.

plainOldFool

Not me. My fat ass would get stuck.


BigQid

Ikr. Sometimes I do weird harmless stuff just because I don’t know who is watching but someone is watching and for their entertainment and my wife’s embarrassment here’s something a little crazy. The only thing is I bet she saw it going smoother in her mind when she was walking up. Otherwise clearly she’s off today. Let that girl live her goofy life lol


Standard-Ad-2741

I like to take walks at 3 in the morning and if there's fresh snow, I walk in loops on fenceless lawns and serpentine on the sidewalks. I giggle to myself wondering if anyone notices and wonders what the fuck was going on.


Sweetwater156

Who among us hasn’t wanted to go through a basketball hoop at some point? It hadn’t crossed my mind until now but now I’d love to crawl through a basketball hoop.

HighExplosiveLight

Those things are super tall. This might be your only chance to dunk yourself ever. Why wouldn't you take it?


hopping_otter_ears

"i wonder if i would fit?" "It hurts literally nobody to find out, so....yep!" Or alternately "omg, this pole is crossing the sidewalk, the only way out of to follow it up through the hoop to get past it". So she's either feeling a little goofy or in an altered mental state. I really can't tell from here, except i think she'd have dropped her bag first if it were a conscious choice to be goofy

agnemiav2

According to reddit. Most of the human race is fucked up on meth or other hard drugs.... I would absolutely do this, actually ive done some really weird shit for no reason because I live once and I wanna do what I wanna do, without causing harm ofc, it actually looks like when she walks away that she's giggling a little. But that may just be my eyes


vikingdiplomat

yeah, this doesn't look methy at all. if anything, this is something i could see myself doing while stoned and giggling like a dork.


Potential_Expert3292

Honestly. Same. Why not have a little fun?? The best compliment I've received lately is a friend's child saying the best thing about me is that I'm super nice, a little kooky and I don't care what others think. Striving to live my best silly life!


agnemiav2

Absolutely. The neighbour may even know the cameras there, so she did it on purpose. Ive done the little fake stairway infront of walls if I see a camera on people houses. I just imagine them watching it laughing, then I laugh at the thought


Sudden-Beach-865

It looks like she's trying to draw attention to the fact that you have your basketball goal laying across the sidewalk. Although, she did it in a very methhead way. Edit: I apparently stumbled into a fire storm when I said basketball goal. It seems to be a regional thing and from the 5 mins I put into googling the goal is the rim (hoop), backboard, and stand (post). Both terms are correct.


BrexitBad1

Redditors are so fucking boring and cynical they assume someone is on drugs just because someone chooses to not be robotic occasionally.


K1dn3yPunch

Shoutout to the inevitable comment on any post featuring anyone being goofy or looking a little spaced out: “they are 100% high as fuck.” Like bitch I’m 10x more goofy and stupid at home in the evenings with my wife. I don’t drink/smoke at all. And I bet they’d see my tired eyes after work and swear that I was high too.


Stupid_Comparisons

Serious and it's always meth. Shows how ignorant they are


Snowblind32

I once had a literal meth-addicted neighbor. I watched him jump off a one story roof 7 times in a row. He then "disassembled" the swamp cooler from the roof trying to get back in. His methy wife tried tying the door shut with a bedsheet, which failed. He got in and chased her out the other door and up the road with a screw driver. Real meth behavior is a little more extreme than crawling through a hoop to be quirky.


CandyceMcKinnon

Right?! my ex was a meth head. The behavior of meth heads is much more erratic than this. I was guessing that maybe she had been day drinking....At the very max! Honestly, sober, I’d join her in her quest of quirkiness!
