Tumblr Thread: Shining Light On Anxiety Disorders

Someone's cutting onions in here, man. It's fun to take a break from the typical madness of Tumblr, and just have a post that's all good feels.

1.

Text - all T-Mobile LTE 8:27 PM 83% norma1-people-sxare-me A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was "he's got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he'd be more comfortable" and it made me realise the world isn't all that bad fitzefitcher #this is team skull its-just-a-phage

Text - The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying "You can pet me, but don't pick me up!" One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him "did you see the sign?" He said "yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don't pet them!" Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said "I didn't read it right

Text - flowernstt I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He's a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like "hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your's is so small I think it's a good place to start." Ofc I was like "yes he's very friendly!" So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man numb

4.

Text - man, it's okay just relax l'd never let anything hurt you. He's a good boy." I'll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like 'ah yes the two least intimidating living things I've seen in Boston all day he'll feel relaxed around them' and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy anotherdayforchaosfay My husband had this Dungeons and Dragons group ages ag

5.

Text - ages ago, and one of the guys was TERRIFIED of cats. The moment he sees one he freezes up and can barely breathe. Said guy is almost seven feet tall and solid wall of muscle. Whenever he came over l'd put the cats in the bedroom and chill out with a book because my cats don't like being shut away without one of us. One of my cats was pawing at the door and meowing loudly, an indication she REALLY needs to use the litter box. I let her out and decide, hey, l'm hungry, and decide to the kit

6.

Text - over and help him gather our two cats up. I go over to where the group is and my black cat, Cacoa, is rubbing up against the guy's leg, purring, and doing her "let me on your lap" meow. The other cat, Jasper, is sitting at the window, chilling out. I go over and pick up Cacoa and tell the big dude she's harmless, loves laps, and would be thrilled if he pet her. Very slowly he touches my cat's face, and she leans right into his hand. He then pets her back and sighs because she's really sof

Text - ruffboijuliaburnsides Oh no a new one!!! jack-the-lion Blessed post. anaalihelmisimpukka I used to work at this stable for icelandic horses and every now and then this man would turn up by the field to just watch the horses. One time I walked by

8.

Text - him as I was going to get the horses inside, and he went "I always wanted to learn how to ride but I'm afraid of horses because they're so huge. If I could ride ponies like this, maybe l'd dare but now l'm too big and heavy for them." You should have seen his face when I told them that actually they're not ponies, just small horses and they could totally carry him. His face just lit up. Next thing I'm helping him to get on back. Today he knows how to ride. toujours-fidele omg this is so p

Property Manager Won't Return Security Deposit, Pro Revenge Ensues

What is with all these landlords and being so dang stubborn (and criminal) when it comes to returning tenants' rightful deposits? It's like, just do the right thing so that the rest of the antics don't need to occur in the first place. But alas, here we are. This guy successfully took the tyrannical property manager down by setting up a website that ended up getting a whole lot of traffic. Hopefully they kept that site up until the property manager made good on all of the payments.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/nascentia • 1y + Join Steal my security deposit and ignore me for a year? Say goodbye to your staff and reputation. This initially began as a petty revenge tale and one month later, I can finally I've "won" and I believe it ended up wholly Pro. My petty revenge tale is here. EDIT: Apparently the link isn't working for everyone so a screencap of that post is here: https://imgur.com/ R2ITWV6 You don't need to read that first, though. So...background! Around Thanksgiving 2017,

Text - The month of December was insanity - list and sell the house, find a short-term rental which would accept 4 pets, pack, move, etc. A lot of whiskey magically disappeared but I got it all done and we moved into our rental house and all was well! We bought our new home and moved and the rental lease officially ended on April 1. The Property Manager followed the state laws correctly so far and we were told we'd get the $1,800 owed for our security deposit back by May.

3.

Text - Spoiler alert: it never came. I spent the next four months going back and forth with the Property Manager and hearing "It's coming", "We never got your paperwork", blah blah. I got sick of this and got two different lawyers involved and sent them official Demand Letters. I also filed a formal complaint with the state Division of Real Estate against their license. The P.M. kept telling the state investigators that they would pay us back but nothing ever happened. I didn't want to formally

4.

Text - have to give up on some of the damages we're legally entitled to seek, eat roughly $500 total in fees, and then go through that whole process for the next year, and assuming we won the judgement, then go through the collection process for another year or two. An option, one we'd win, but a big pain in my ass. So this is where the pro revenge comes in. It was initially petty...say their website is "shittypropertymanager.com". bought "shittypropertymanager.co" for $12 and posted all of my s

5.

Text - My little website caused a bigger boom than I anticipated. Basically, this P.M. has two principle agents in charge and a broker. One of the agents is married to the broker. Beneath them, they have (HAD...heh) realtors. I sent my new website to them all, everywhere I could. Turns out the partner who isn't married to the broker had NO idea that the broker and his wife were stealing money from the P.M. company. Their realtors had no idea, either - two of them quit immediately, and one reache

6.

Text - for the first time in 10 months, the broker started answering my e-mails. We worked out a deal and they're now paying us $200/ month until December, which will cover the amount owed plus the extra for our legal fees. The first check came last week (it actually BOUNCED but I made them send me a cashier's check and they have to send cashier's checks going forward, so we did get our first installment.) I've also learned that the state investigation has been turned over to the state's legal d

7.

Text - So all told, my shitty little website ended up costing them 40% of their real estate team, resulted in them removing their business FB listings, pushed the investigation into their license over to a state legal team (still ongoing), and resulted in them having to FINALLY start paying us not only the $1,800 we're owed but the legal fees I spent on top of it. Oh, and that bounced check? I made them send me a certified check for $12 to cover the bank fee for that, too. tl;dr - Property Manag

The more you try to swim, the lesser the chances of survival. Just try to keep afloat and conserve energy (and body heat) while rescue team do what they're supposed to. Unless you are in hypothermic waters, the best bet always is to stay afloat without trying to swim to somewhere. This information about falling overboard, hypothermia and conditions, survival

They're the best fire starter: they're lightweight and tiny (easy to carry), you can pull them apart and there's a lot of e

It seems intuitive that jumping in water will keep the bees off you, but actually they will wait for you to resurface and resume stinging you. Instead, run as fast and as far away as you can. Bees/wasps are territorial and will not easily leave their home range. So once you leave their comfort zone, you're pretty much safe. Reply 21.1k ...

Text - MarsNirgal • 21h Your car is in general much easier to locate than you are, so unless you're absolutely certain that you can get to a safe place, it's better to stay close to your car for any searching party. (Of course, if it's stranded in the middle of a road an any incoming car will hit it, you probably shouldn't stay IN your car, and in the desert it's better to be in the shadow of the car than inside where you will get cooked alive, but the general principle still remains) Reply 1 84

Do one "zig" and then run straight. The alligator is not going to try to follow the zigzag, it will just run for you straight and you'll be slower. Do one "zig" so that the alligator will have to do one zig if it wants to get you, and then just run in a straight line like your ass is on fire.

Stuff that Looks like Food but Isn't

The world is full of delicious looking things that aren't actually food. A pickle chip could be a turtle, ice cream could actually be spackle, and caramel could end up being an eraser. Some things, even dangerous and prohibitively crunchy things, end up looking like delicious food.
