Oh I have one of them. The one that triggers me (slightly) is when something turns out well for me and the response is something like "You see? Sometimes all you have to do is ask the universe!". It's not only retarded to think that the universe tried to help me out, but it's also retarded to assume that anything I did was me asking the universe. It's like no matter how much I can distance myself from the wooy bullshit some Neopagan moron can convince themselves that I asked the universe for a favor. Even saying that God helped me out seems more honest than pretending I asked for the universe. At least a theist can pretend that God helped me out out of kindness despite my disbelief in him, but to pretend that I fucking asked the universe for ANYTHING is so fucked up. It would be the equivalent of a theist telling me that many things I had said were in fact prayers to God despite my atheism. It's the equivalent to the phew theists who actually believe that atheism is impossible and EVERYONE believes in God, and atheists are in denial about their belief (there are theists who actually believe in this.What the fuck do they think new born babies think there's some SkyDaddy up there? But I digress).

Fuck "ask the universe" fuck it in the ass with a very appropriate ass-fucking device. Shit there's gotta be a word for those things. It's on the tip of my tongue. Begins with D.

Not nearly as bad, but it's the same mindset.

Yes.

I knew a lady that I found both helpful and nice, and physically okayish looks wise (she wasn't particularly great looking nor bad looking but nor am I). I felt like the more I got to know her the more attractive I'd find her . . . she wasn't ugly, she just wasn't my type, but types can change. I was warming to her.

Anyway, one day she asks me how I am and I tell her that things have been going better for me. She suddenly says "You see? Sometimes all you have to do is ask the universe!" out of nowhere and asks me if I've heard of the book 'The Secret' (THE MOST VOMITWORTHY BOOK EVER WRITTEN) . . . that was not only an end of a possible relationship with her but I swear my semi-boner went instantly limper than the limpest of limp. I wouldn't even be able to maintain an erection while having sex with motherfucking Scarlet Johansson (who I do believe is insanely gorgeous and extremely attractive) if during sex with her she told me that the reason why I was lucky enough to 'have her' (pun intended) was because something in my body language had 'asked the universe' for her. It would be bye bye miss Johansson, even you can be a bonerkiller when you talk about asking the universe.

That reminds me of the most absurd trigger ever I once had.

I was completely unaware that 'chilli' can be used as a shorthand for the meal Chili Con Carne, and to me merely referring to that meal as 'Chilli' looked and sounded fucking stupid because that's just the singuar for actual chillies. So upon first discovering that people genuinely say 'Chilli' to mean the meal Chilli Con Carne so often they say it more often than they say the full meal title, and that it was totally normal, it took me a few months to actually shake off being massively triggered by that shorthard.

Okay so next question, what's the most absurd and silly and irrational 'trigger' you have or have had in the past? Mine is definitely that 'Chilli' one I used to have above. I can even almost bring myself to refer to Chilli Con Carne as Chilli myself now!

That did it.

Call screening answering machine, man! The phone announces a number/name/some shit about "unknown number", it goes to voice mail and deleted. I NEVER pick that kind of shit up. Ima start using *61, because I'm getting tired of the same stupes calling repeatedly.

BoT, as far as triggers go, not much triggers me but threats of, or actual, physical violence.

LOL! I missed this.

Okay here's my response:



. . . Why does this word trigger you? Is it because not only are you afraid of me putting my thick and solid Hammy hand or thigh up your bunghole but you're afraid that I will do it also do it in such an exaggerated and over-theatrical way?

LOL that reminds me of this fucking awesome comedy sketch:

I'm confused. I thought that I saw somewhere here that you were in Buffalo, NY, while you've posted pics from the Bay Area? And now, you're really in California? Not a stalker...

"You wouldn't dare!"
