AMATEUR FLESH: 2LOVEMENOTI’ll completely understand if, when you see the content of this post, you feel a
chill running down your spine. Seriously. On the other hand, if you feel nothing at all, if you remain completely unfazed, it’s quite possible that you’re
dead and that, thanks to ALRNCN, you’ve just discovered it.
How you died, I have no idea. I don’t know whether you’re currently a
ghost or a
zombie, and I’m sorry I can’t be of more help there. I imagine that if you feel like eating
brains, it’s because you’re a zombie, and if you’re walking around covered with a
bedsheet, well… you know. But we probably shouldn’t rely too much on those details, because
Hollywood has taken plenty of creative liberties over the years, and reality might be very different from what actually happens when you end up stuck in
limbo, when you die but somehow remain here, as one of the
undead.
Anyway, I’ll leave you with some of the photos that a certain
2LoveMeNot has posted on Reddit.
Good lord, that girl. If anyone can
bring you back to life, it’s
2LoveMeNot.

THE TELEMARKETEROne of the things most of us hate the most are those
phone calls where someone tries to sell you something. It doesn’t matter if it’s
insurance, switching your
phone provider, moving you to another
electric company, or any other
service that, somehow, always arrives “right now” with a supposedly
unbeatable offer.
The problem isn’t just the call itself — it’s the
timing. They always seem to catch you
working,
cooking,
driving, or simply trying to enjoy a bit of
peace and quiet. You see an
unknown number, hesitate for a second… and the moment you answer, you already know you’ve walked into it.
Some people have it clear and hang up instantly. Zero
guilt. But then there’s the other group: the ones who stay. The ones who, out of
politeness,
habit, or because they feel bad cutting someone off, remain on the line trying to dodge the conversation however they can. One-word replies, saying they’re not interested, that they already have service, that they’ll look into it later… anything just to escape without sounding
rude.
And that’s when the small
absurd duel begins: the operator following the
script, and you trying to find a way out without making it obvious you’re fleeing. A conversation nobody enjoys, that neither side really wants, yet somehow it always lasts longer than it should.
Next time it happens, think about this
post, about these
photos, and maybe the conversation suddenly feels a bit more
entertaining.

Now I get why they take so long to show up when you call them.
