    I deeply admire the people who go way up high to fix wind turbines, wash windows of skyscrapers, or construct skyscrapers. I can't even stand going up ten feet on a ladder without freaking out, there's no way those jobs would exist if everyone was as afraid of heights as I am.

    Avoided my entire life: brussels sprouts. Was maybe in my late thirties when it hit me one day I'd never actually eaten one. Turned 64 two weeks ago, still have never put one in my mouth, and have decided to make this my lifetime project.

      My sister turns 50 this year, and will do anything to avoid having to eat Brussel sprouts . It has gotten to the point I think she would jump off a cliff to avoid some one trying to feed her Brussel sprouts. She still calls me a deranged freak for actually enjoying the taste and putting them in salads.

    The guy with the flowers reminds me of a awkward / dark/ funny story my husband once told me . Not long after we had started dating, a work colleague saw my husband with a bunch of flowers walking out of work and said 'oh that's sweet are they for your girlfriend? '( slightly mocking him as they didn't think we would last) he looked them in the eye and replied ' No they are for my dead mothers grave '( his mum had passed away when he was only 18 years old) smiled and walked off towards the grave yard. We still have a little chuckle about it 20 years later.

    Avoided my whole life: miraculously, being cheated on by a romantic partner. Which sadly enough does feel like a strange achievement, considering how rampant the issue apparently is. I've had good breakups, bad breakups, definitely have a crazy as all hell ex, but not a single cheater.

    My advice to 17yo: assume you're wrong. Let me explain.
    I'm in my thirties, with a slightly better than layman understanding of science. I can see the amount of things I know I don't know, and it's insurmountable. I could only.make any headway if I seriously studied one or two subjects. And I can only imagine how many things I don't know I don't know.
    There will always be things you don't know, that others might. And things you have been taught or think true that are the complete opposite. So stay humble, ask for sources and citations of dubious and extraordinary claims, and give tentative trust to expert consensus.
    And perhaps most importantly: it's ok to say "I don't know." If you're given a question you don't know the answer to, it's always better to admit ignorance, research it, and come back later than to make something up on the spot. There's no shame in not knowing, only in refusing to learn.

When I told the mom of the errands I had to run in the area, she gave me a weird look & said she stays at the parties. So I had to awkwardly sit with moms 2-3x my age while the kids ran around.

    32:38 No, this is real. It's not a brand thing.
    Preface: I can't drink anything with carbonation, so I was already biased against root beer.
    So last summer, my neighbor who's from Eastern Europe told me (paraphrased) "I never really understood the appeal of root beer. It tastes too much like..."
    Me: "Toothpaste?"
    Her: "Exactly!"
    Me: "You're the only one who agrees with me!"
    And then iirc she explained it was a comment sentiment over in that neck of the woods.
    Years ago, I got a toothpaste that was supposed to be mint, and went "why tf does this taste like root beer?" and my parents said "what are you talking about?" Then eventually I realized the most popular mint Lifesaver tastes the same. Which sucks because I usually love mint. Peppermint and spearmint are great, but wintergreen only tastes decent as far as medicine goes.
    I don't get the PBJ or biscuits though. Well, the gravy kind of, because I'm almost vegetarian, but having a biscuit for the first time in New Orleans was a life changing experience.

    Like, isn't "Priss" supposed to be an INSULT?
    "Prissy" is pretty bad, but at least it could be short for Priscilla.
    "Priss" isn't short for anything, and adding "Little Miss" makes it sound like you don't even like the dog!
    My friend also had to change her dog's name from "Precious" to "Marshmellow" (sic), which managed to be a massive improvement despite being cliché and mispelled. And I can't say the name doesn't suit her. She definitely looks like a marshmallow. About the size of one, too.

    50:57 The original Pokémon Theme.
    I'll even get the original mistakes correct, like "with courage I enface!"
    Listen to it. He actually says that.
    No, I don't think you can write, print, or stamp something with courage.
    Edit: 52:00 Sh!t, this f*cker's got a point. I'd also have to arrange with the deal-maker ahead of time who I was going to imitate when the Pokémon Theme has two guys singing at once. Maybe I better go with 4'33 after all.
    52:32 MY [WO]MAN!
    Oh, and I forgot to specify. Yes, Brandon, I would sing the full 3 minute theme song.
