Tommy’s Thursday Thoughts: Vol. 146 - Toxic Masculinity, Locking Doors, Recycling Problem
I’m not someone who cares about manliness and appearing like some rugged man. I have less toxic masculinity than maybe any man on this planet. I almost exclusively order girly pink drinks. The only shot I’ll do is green tea. I have never even considered throwing a punch. I once put on a wig and let a coworker finger my butthole for a video. But even with all that being said, I don’t think I would ever order avocado toast.
Whenever two sides are arguing, I will always believe the thing that is said to me most recently. It doesn’t matter how strong the first side was, the second I hear the other side, it sways me over to them. Now I can be swayed back to the original side once they go again. Basically if I was on a jury for a murder trail, and there was an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove the suspect’s innocence. DNA. Witnesses. You name it. But … the prosecution’s closing argument went last? I would probably send that innocent man to die.
I’ve never understood why people think it’s more important to lock their doors when they’re out of the house than when they’re home. When you’re not home, they just take your stuff but you’re safe. When you’re home, they can kill you! People will say “oh why do I need to lock the door? I’m home!” Yeah that’s exactly why! If a guy with a gun comes in they’re not going to be like “Oh didn’t know you’d be here. My bad” and walk out. They’d shoot you in the head! Moral of the story here is always lock your doors.
I feel like there’s some songs that you just can’t listen to during some tasks. The other day I was listening to music while I was folding clothes and putting them away and “Wild For The Night” came on. And it didn’t feel right to be mouthing “We’re going wild for the night fuck being polite” as I was folding a sheet and trying to find matching socks.
-You can say “good morning” to start an interaction but not to end one. It’s a hello not a goodbye. Meanwhile, you can say “good night” to end an interaction but not to start one. It’s a goodbye instead of a hello. This is just an observation.
So about six months ago, I explained to you guys my elevator problem where my building with thirty floors now only has one working elevator. That's still the case. There's still only one working elevator and there's still lines. It's a nightmare. There are two elevators that exist, but the one that doesn't work is the one that goes down to the basement where we can put our recycling and our garbage. The one that does work is, you know, you take down the lobby, then you have to take a flight of stairs down to put your garbage and recycling away. Now me, say I'm on the sixteenth floor argument's sake, it's right around there, I dont wanna give it away exactly but say Im on the 16th floor. I've been noticing recently that people have been putting the recycling boxes right by the elevator, right in the middle of the hallway. They just put their recycling boxes and I saw that and I thought, fuck these people. Like that was my initial thought. I was like, who like, this isn't a recycling area. This is a hallway, you know, just put that next to the elevator.And I'm pretty sure because I looked at, I look to see, you know, what number was on this package. And I think the people that live there are young people. So you could go down, you can go down and bring that to the bottom.
Like, don't make our hallway just your trash or recycling bins. So that bothered me. But I also thought, hmm, it is kind of stupid that we have to take an elevator down and then another flight of stairs down just to put our garbage and our recycling away. So I was like, alright, maybe they should have some sort of system in place for us where we can leave it on our floor and you know, somebody else can go take it down for us, that works for the building. So then I started thinking maybe the people who started putting it there, maybe they're in the right. So here's the thing I don't know who to be mad at. Do I be mad at the people that are putting it in the hallway? Or do I still just be mad at the building for this one elevator dilemma we have going on because I'm not going to be a normal person here and just be like, oh, this doesn't really affect me, I'm gonna let it slide. I have to hate on someone. I just don't know what to do. And also, may I add that I almost didn't even do this thought because we got an email a couple of days ago that said, basically, hey, whoever is leaving recycling on this floor by the elevator. Stop doing that. And I don't want, if anyone knows me and sees this video that they think I was the one who ratted because I'm complaining about it, I didn't rat. I didn't rat. What my plan was just to rat to the internet to make this complaint about it.But I didn't rat to the building. I didnt even want to put this out, cause I don't want them thinking that I was the one who said it. Anyway, this is a really big thing in my life right now, but thank you for your time.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
