The best friend I mentioned died two years ago. I didn't get a chance to introduce him to my son. Don't wait on poo poo like that

While on a jog through the park, I saw a girl playing soccer really well. I played soccer at the time and struck up a conversation. I eventually convinced her to try out for the local woman's team, the Hounslow Harriers. She was extremely happy and excited about the tryouts, even though our coach Joe was sceptical about a new player joining the team. After seeing Jess's skills, Joe accepted her on the team but Jess lied to Joe about her parents being cool with the idea. They were conservative Sikhs you see and thought that their daughter was better off looking for a husband than kicking around the old zebra head (soccer ball).

Well let me tell you, things got pretty messy with her family and we had our ups and downs but that was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.

I invited her to my house and we played Animal Crossing on the GameCube and she was upset that I walked through her flowers. I was like "don't worry, they only get destroyed if you run through them." Then I deliberately ran through them.

I wish we still lived near each other but at least thanks to the internet I can once again destroy everything she loves in Animal Crossing.

Met him in college. He joined my frat after transitioning, and we just hit it off. He definitely helped me through some tough patches in my life. I miss being able to see him, covid is the worst :(

At an ambulance service I volunteered/worked/volunteered again at at. From May of 2015 to this October we did at least one 24 hour shift a week together, usually two of ‘em (except for two small chunks where I was doing EHS stuff constantly in) He kind of seemed like a dick at first but we ended up really getting along and doing tons of poo poo outside of work. He has an account here to lurk TFR and the Trump lol but I don’t think he uses it too much.

He swiped my stuff off my desk; I in turn shredded his assignment in front of him.

We've been besties ever since.

He lived only 2 miles away, so he had the bus stop right before mine in third grade, and shared nerdy interests.

She was the girlfriend of a middle school mate's best friend and we met when my buddy picked us up in a stolen car so we could ride around getting high. I still can't look at a Pontiac Sunbird convertible without getting emotional.

Known this bitch for a little over half my life now. It's taught me two things: she's real good at getting into trouble, and I'm real good at getting out of it.

I have three best friends.

1. Mrs. Genesplicer. I met her in the break room at the department store where we both worked. We were the only ones in there. It had been a rough night of retail. I was sitting at one table, she was sitting across the room. I said something to the effect of "What I wouldn't give to be in a hot tub filled with lime Jell-O right now." This made her giggle. We began talking and that was that.

2. Henry. I dated his sister for a while, and we had a "See each other and nod" kind of relationship. Then we ended up taking the same programming class (BASIC on Apple II computers.) We started talking and became good friends. Turns out he has the artistic skills I wish I had, and was more than willing to help me out with some basics. Mrs. Genesplicer and I are really good friends with him and his wife, to the point we they traveled to Europe with us.

3. Jeff. Jeff is my high school best friend. We met because we were both in the library after school. It was raining really hard, we were waiting for the bus, and both of us noticed that the other one had D&D books. Needless to say, we became friends. He got married too young, went through a really messy divorce a few years later and fell off the grid. I've been looking for him for a couple of decades, but nothing. I mean, I have lots of his information, right down to his social security number, and I still can't find him...

1. another faculty kid who was also 9. there were enough of us of the same ages that various cohorts formed. I've known him longer than some of y'all have been alive

2 & 3. they'd been best friends since first grade. I met them in 6th. we eventually bonded over RPGs.

I'm fortunate to have a lot of other people I'd describe this way, but these are the three longest-serving.

two of these guys were goons before I was, but one mostly lurks and the other figured out a few years ago that tax is a piece of poo poo and left over it. I'm trying to lure him back.

Poo In An Alleyway
Feb 12, 2016



2008 while working together in a lovely call centre. We bonded over how much we hated the customers and the job itself. He was my honorary maid of honour at my wedding recently, I’m an honorary aunt to his 3 kids who fight with each other every Christmas Day as to which of them gets to sit next to me at Christmas dinner, we’ve both been through hard poo poo these past 11 years and we’ve had each other’s back throughout.

My other best friend is my husband. We met on OKCupid in 2014 through a shared love of Red Dwarf, synthwave and horror movies. He’s a goon as well but on his insistence we don’t cross paths on threads. We got married 2 weeks ago.

The person can drink sake for the following five reasons. First of all, for the national holiday. Moreover, it fills with the nectar. Finally, for reasons. Next, to heal the dryness of the place. After that, to refuse the future

I met my best friend at my company orientation.

He had a much different idea of software engineering than myself he was a Perfectionist TA in college , while I was a Prioritized Realist who was also incredibly lazy.

When I asked him what he was doing after work, volleyed back "what, are you bored,"and the strangest friendship ever was born. Somehow, we managed to get a place together, and not kill each other for 5 years (still play Ultimate together, once the Pandemic is over)
