New jobs are fun because you’re asking questions like ummmmm how do you open. A door

and they're like "uhhh it's a door. open it already. why would you even ask?"

and then you do and they forcibly tear your hand away "NO NOT LIKE THAT ACID COMES OUT IF YOU DO IT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT" and they proceed do a handstand and open the door with their butt cheeks "just open it normally idiot. use common sense."

and they've been opening this door with upside down butt cheeks for 20 years and it really is common sense to them at this point and they see nothing strange about it and they make some crack about how young people are morons who aren't taught buttcheek door skills and you still aren't sure if the acid thing is real but now you're afraid to ask

“Oh boo hoo you shouldn’t ask your friends for favors we’re all adults”

I just spent three hours pulling up carpet and staples for a friend’s home renovation and we all did nothing but chat and joke and have wonderful conversation the whole time.

Helping somebody move or renovate or giving them a ride to the airport is functionally the same as going mini-golfing or playing a board game: it’s an activity that you do that is made more fun by having good company, and which provides something to talk about when the conversation lulls.

“Shared joy is double joy, but shared sorrow is half a sorrow.”

If you can't ask your friends for favors, then who the fuck are you supposed to ask for favors?

We are pack animals. We created community because we know we have limits and a group we care about is better than the strength of the mammoths. And don't say something like "only your partner" or "only your siblings" or "only your parents" or whatever that excludes friends because that puts more limits on us. What if you don't have a partner (or will never have a partner like me), what if you don't have siblings or parents, or you're not on good terms with them? We can't do everything by ourselves. We were never meant to do things by ourselves. We have always been pack animals that thrive in a group. So if we can't ask our pack for favors, who are we supposed to ask? Who are we supposed to rely on if not the people we chose to have in our lives for no reason other than we enjoy their company? The people we chose, instead of being bound by blood or sexual/romantic attraction. If not them, then who? It can't all fall on the heads of your partner(s) and blood relatives. Or even honorary relatives.

Part of getting older is realizing how absolutely insane it is that basically every form of media is constantly trying to convince us that the most interesting moments of the lived human experience are happening in HIGH SCHOOL…… girl who gives a flying fuck what 16 year olds are doing.
