25 Signs You're The Friend Your Friends Can't Take Anywhere

Your inner weirdo burns too brightly to ever be extinguished.

25 Signs You're The Friend Your Friends Can't Take Anywhere
Keeping Up With The Holsbys

1. When you see a street sign depicting one of those stick figure guys, you can't resist running up to it and striking the same pose.

Sadly, there are some that just defy the laws of physics too much to be recreated.

2. If there is a dog anywhere in the vicinity, you will do whatever it takes to meet it and pet it.

This includes basically going through an obstacle course, because, hello... dog?

3. Restaurants mean shooting straw wrappers at strangers.

And ordering in a fake accent only you find funny. And blowing bubbles in your drink.

4. Oh, and those chopsticks?

Those are walrus tusks.

5. Hearing music in public is your cue to break it down in the way only you can.

By that, I'm referring to anything from waltzing with an invisible partner, to the most precise sprinkler anyone's ever seen, to a full-on Irish jig. Irish heritage not required.

6. There's a conglomeration of stupid book and movie quotes in your head that you like to sprinkle on the conversation for a lil' flavor.

You know, like when someone's about to shift the car into gear and you shout, "PULL THE LEVER, KRONK!" ...No?

7. Once that car actually gets going, you're liable to start making funny faces at the people driving by.

The best part is when they notice and make one back.

8. Dad jokes are absolutely a legitimate means of communicating.

Note that it is mandatory to answer, "I'm hungry," with, "Hi hungry, I'm Dad!" even if you aren't even remotely close to a father.

9. You've been known to narrate your makeup routine or cooking project when you think no one else is around.

"And now, we take this beautiful bowl of microwavable mac 'n' cheese and gently insert it into this state of the art appliance for approximately two minutes at a number I do not know in Fahrenheit."

10. That tendency to imitate people when they're not looking has backfired pretty hard sometimes.

It's all fun and games until your professor notices your uncannily accurate portrayal.

11. If there's more than one fork in front of you at your table setting, you know what to do with the extra.

A swordfight. Complete with sound effects. Duh.

12. When you go to the grocery store, that trip is gonna end up going one of two ways.

And that would be either riding shopping cart races or seeing what the weirdest thing you can find in the store is. Though other suggestions are always welcome.

13. Admit it... you've broken into The Potter Puppet Pals' "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" when hearing a clock before.

And you're a damn pro at all the different voices.

14. Stairs? What stairs? Do you mean that railing you slide down on?

You also have a fiercely passionate desire to go mattress surfing one day.

15. The idea that you've never wanted to introduce yourself to someone as a beloved Princess Bride character is INCONCEIVABLE!

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Bonus points if, like I have, you've actually done this before.

16. You believe that tickle fights are appropriate in virtually every situation.

Making gibberish baby noises is crossing the line a bit, however.

17. When you are so fortunate as to be somewhere where there is an accessible Build-a-Bear, you're there before anyone can say, "teddy."

Or, more likely, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING COME BACK HERE!"

18. Remember when you were in grade school and you would gesture to the truck drivers to honk their horns?

Of course you do! Because, years later, you're still doing it!

19. We all know photo booths are great for making memories.

But with you in there, those faces are definitely not going to be forgotten. Ever.

20. If there's even the slightest opportunity to misinterpret someone's directions for comedic purposes, you're the one for the job.

They did say to "arrange the glasses nicely," so, there can't be much wrong with a smiley face, right? And that's on the tame side.

21. Some people like to feed the pigeons. That's sweet.

Pigeons are good for one thing. Chasing EVERYWHERE.

22. No matter what they are, if they have a button that says, "Try Me!", you're pushing that thing.

Let the horrible cacophony of creepy laughter, nursery rhymes, and Christmas carols begin.

23. Once something even remotely tickles your funny bone, you're past the point of all return.

I'm not talking a dainty, petite giggle, either. I'm talking full blown hysterical guffawing.

24. You are insanely competitive.

Whether it be those grocery story contests I mentioned earlier, a particularly close battle in Mario Kart, or the rush to get the last chocolate frosted donut, you're in it for the win.

25. Finally, despite the fact that you'll never stop embarrassing them, your friends and family still love you and risk taking you out anyways.

And they won't ever forget it. Or you.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
