Have you ever had an experience that you thought was going to be wholly unpleasant that ended up being pretty swell?

Asked by Spirit_of_the_Nomad (456points) December 11th, 2009

Last night there was someone with a really nice system bumping outside of my apartment at 11 something at night and I pulled a crazy old lady move and went out to ask them to turn it down. I usually would never say anything but it was so loud I felt like I opened a club in my room. I hate confrontation and being a debbie downer but I actually ended up in the back seat sharing a bowl with the dudes who turned out to be really cool.

I think the term “crazy old lady move” should be reserved for crazy old ladies…which I doubt you are. Good for you for hanging out for a bit.

Frankly, when I saw the flood of new members coming in from Answerbag, it brought back memories of several painful migrations from other troubled sites in the past, and I thought, “Oh shit, here we go again”. But I must say that the ABers seem to be a perfectly lovely crew, and I’m beginning to get excited about all the great new jellies.

@nope I think you are correct, thanks for the correction

I thought going to college was going to suck, at least freshman year. Turns out it didn’t and I had no trouble finding my niche.

@Harp I’m glad we’re exceeding your expectations. One of the reason so many of us are so upset is that we had a pretty tight community with a lot of cool people.

@Spirit_of_the_Nomad I’m sure I’d feel the same way if Fluther went wanky.

Riding a rollercoaster for the first time.

drunken sex is sort of like that your beer vision can tell you one thing but when woken up in a sober state it may be a whole nother thing all together

but the great part is when the beer goggles are on and you wake up and it is a lot nicer now that is a pleasant experience worth noting

@erichw1504 I’m glad you enjoyed it, roller coasters are a blast and I think a lot of people never get to know that because they’re too scared to try them.

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@master_mind413 lol that would be a nice change :P

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@global_nomad Nice! My freshman year was the same way. I was excited but not very and then I had an amazing time.

I like that you said the word “swell”.

:D

Yes but if you don’t smoke weed it wouldn’t have been swell Beav..I would have called Eddie Haskel’s pop and got him to move.

Short answer: college.

WARNING, NSFW. (I’m fresh from AB and did read the guidelines, but do I really have to mark it that obviously if I’m about to say something mature?)

I’m a lesbian, and my girlfriend talked me into letting her do me in the butt with the strap-on. Lmao. I always frowned at the idea, and I must admit that it wasn’t delightful, but it definitely wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated.

thriftymaid's avatar

Sure. I imagine everyone has had that experience.

YARNLADY's avatar

@stemnyjones I appreciate the NSFW so I hope you keep it.

When my husband got transferred to Northern California, I was really afraid I would hate it, but I loved our house, and have never regretted moving here. The only time I feel it is during traditional family gatherings that we can be there for. The rest of our family lives in San Diego, and I do miss them.

It’s getting better now that my oldest grandson has moved in with us, and my youngest son is married and has given me two new grandsons.

@thriftymaid, I have to say that it’s kind of hilarious that you made your comment right after the comment made by @stemnyjones. :)

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@eeveegurl lol I usually am teased for using nostalgic words so I’m glad you liked that. :)

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@SeventhSense HAHAHAHAHA That is hilarious

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Hi, glad to see you here. The short answer is all you need, college is such a fresh start, new friends, new interests. Its so easy to enjoy oneself. Will you be using both sites or are you only using Fluther now?

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@stemnyjones haha I’m from AB to and I did not read the terms and conditions so I’m not sure how strongly they are enforced but it was nice of you to follow the rules (for now anyway :P)
That’s kind of how I felt about a similar experience – I don’t know if I’d do it again but I don’t regret the experience. Thanks for sharing!

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@YARNLADY I’m glad you liked your new home, moving can be scary, I’m moving in a month or so and I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings. I’m glad that your grandson has moved in with you having family close by always makes things a little brighter.

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

@nope lol I laughed at that, too, as I read through the responses

thriftymaid's avatar

@nope Laughing here. Some things you just can’t plan. Kind of like back in school during roll call when someone’s last name is Screws.

TexasDude's avatar

Hey there @Spirit_of_the_Nomad, I’m done with AB. It’s all Fluther for me now.
