One of my hobbies is saying some absolute bullshit as I walk past strangers, in such a way that they overhear it and think its authentic

For example, while walking around a famously historic lake, I said to my partner, as we passed another couple, "Did you know they just dug this lake last week?"

absolute genius, I'm doing this ASAP

Ayy we have inverse hobbies, mine is making up insane context for the tiny snippets I overhear when passing strangers in a conversation.

Haha imagine if we crossed paths

I'm curious where you'd go with one of my favorites: "my brother legally changed his name to Wayne Gretzky to help me pick up chicks"

[โ€“] IDontEvenGoHere@reddthat.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You found out about the celebrity-only petting zoo and schemed a way to gain admittance. Wayne Gretzky was decided upon because he's important enough to get a +1 but no one knows what he looks like without the mask.

" if it wasn't for my horse I wouldn't have spent that year in college"

[โ€“] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol I'm definitely using this one

It's from a Lewis Black bit. Something about he was sitting at a mall and heard a girl behind him say that and it broke his brain for years.

I do this all the time, cheers brother

I like you. I once pretended I'd never seen roman numerals in my life by reading each "letter" on some engraved stone aloud in front of my friends and some strangers, and this woman looked at me horrified :D

"Who the fuck is McDiv?"

Lmao, that's a good one! I used to love going to Petco so I could loudly read the big sign "Wow, over one thousand-thousand animals saved!" (It said 1,000,000)
