It’s just the opposite for me (magnet-wise); I seem to attract windbags who park themselves next to me and, with perfect self-assurance, talk all kinds of blather. I had a guy who used to park himself by my desk just about every day to tell me the latest about his “prostrate”, I’ve been harangued by all kinds of conspiracy addicts, lifestyle alternators, love-life investigators, you name it. Of course, these weren’t really conversations, more like lectures.
@llangley That was actually an airbed I had set up at a good friend’s house! We combined our collections for a ‘toy day’. My usual sleeping arrangement is a bunk with my computer desk underneath Fenris sleeps in the bedroom, however. Fen is large enough to sleep on and I have done so!
Medical advice - At least when I stop somewhere while wearing my scrubs. A few months ago I was in a Dollar General when a woman came up to me with a box of Tylenol and asked, “Is this good for a headache?” Oh, the inappropriate advice to give her that ran through my head… Sometimes it’s tough to be friendly and helpful.
@benconsult@cinoclav well… of course, I DID see an order on a chart this week for an oral dose of 650mg tylenol suppository… that’s gonna taste really waxy!
Meh, shame on you for leaving the most obvious, provocative, and childish choices off the list. It’s almost like you’re trolling us to make comments to snicker about…
Crud. Every day when I look at the collection of crud that has amassed upon my glasses I think “Where has my face been?” Geeze my glasses collect more crud in one day…I realize now I am a crud magnet.
Pet magnet. Everyone’s dog or cat (or whatever) seems to gravitate towards me. I have never understood why, my wife says it is because I ignore them, so they want to get my attention.
@olperfesser I think you are correct there. I am instantly drawn to any dog or cat that crosses my path but it’s like they just ignore my fawning love. Sad
Eye contact. So much as glance at a man and it’s all, oh fuck eyes, the eyeballs, the directionality, your interpupillary distance and the bounce in your gait is a queasily affecting ratio.
I can see you seeing me seeing you seeing me seeing you seeing me…
I mean, what, is there some kind of code everybody else uses? Is it morse? How do these even work?!
I answered awkward conversation because, let’s face it, most conversations are awkward.

@aetris Why oh why does every senior male think there’s an extra ‘r’ in prostate?
@cinoclav - Because too many problems with the prostate can leave you prostrate?
@aetris
Does awkward conversation count if I’m the reason for the awkward conversation?

I am a walking inflatable toy magnet! This is only a small fraction of the total collection.
@PooltoyWolf I hope you have a pool.
@Fuzzalini Sadly (and ironically) nope. I have to drive to the beach!

KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!

@cinoclav explain that the first four letters in analgesic are the insertion instructions.
@benconsult @cinoclav well… of course, I DID see an order on a chart this week for an oral dose of 650mg tylenol suppository… that’s gonna taste really waxy!
People - ack.
@mfladd I used to embrace the philosophy “Mean people suck”. Now I realize most people suck.

@allergycheryl Clearly, it’s your allergies, Cheryl…
I am a butt fat magnet as evidenced by my gigantic caboose. I blame my Mediterranean muttness.
Pet doodoo. Doesn’t matter where it is, I seem to always step in it.
Creep if you take off the magnet part.

Dog hair. Walked out yesterday covered in it, couldn’t do much about it
@Fuzzalini You and me both!
@Fuzzalini @PooltoyWolf yep! I always tell people if I’m NOT covered in it it’s an imposter!
@Fuzzalini @llangley Hahaha! And forget about wearing dark clothes…
She says I’m a Tick Magnet.

@zachary you’re a walking monitor stand??? Set that thing down!
