I had to go out today

That was really nice of you to bring them pastries. Kindness is a good thing in times like these.

die already

Couldn't you just piss behind the bush somewhere or into an empty bottle? And why are you afraid to talk to strangers you meet along the way? Have you been kidnapped when you were a child?

You have vented, now take your psych med and go to bed.

Thought for sure this story would end with you presenting hole to the trucker.

Thanks R1.

R2 I'd tell you to go fuck yourself but I doubt your dick can reach your asshole.

R3 I couldn't find a bush and I didn't have a bottle. And I'm worried about interacting with other people because I don't want to bring home something that will kill my mother.

I started to R4 but he was too quick.

Get a blog, whore

What kind of pastries?

Do you realize that other people have to go out everyday and do their jobs in the public? Do you think they aren't worried about their families? Cry me a river.

Is R7 posting from 2004?

Butter tarts R8.

Start your own thread R9.

You drove around the state for 4 hours and couldn't find a bush? Where were you? Death Valley?

I hear you. Some days can be really rough Asking for help in businesses, as people ignore you or say I don't know. It's not pretty out there. Lots of crazy. That was nice with the pastries. I bet that made her day. Breathe, stay calm and wash your hands.

You coulda led with that.

Don't let rude people or anxiety keep you from living life. You brought comfort and a sense of relief to your Mom, showed kindness to your Aunt, and got out of the house. You did some good in a world of bad.

Although, you may have had a missed opportunity with the trucker!

Plus, you probably kept some of the pastries.

You're a pussy OP. I live in midtown Manhattan and have been going out to work everyday walking through this Apocalypse. I wear a mask and that's it. I'm so sick of these people sitting in their suburban MC Mansions wearing hazmat suits and afraid to go out. The nearest neighbor being a mile away. You need to have my life for week. By the way I do a job that is essential and without me you'd really fucking be in trouble. Sorry for the rant but sick of the pussies.

Me, my life too. I am R9

Thank you R9

Hamilton, Scotland or Hamilton, New Zealand? I find it odd the first person you spoke to couldn't speak English.

Canada, right? Or New Jersey?

Hamilton the Musical.

Your mother & aunt planned this together to get you out of the house. They love you, be good to them!

Was this story from 2020?

Who doesn't have GPS in their car?

I like you OP. You seem like a nice kind of fella. I felt like I was starting a chapter from a book from the 60s or something.

I’m in Illinois and I can take a piss or shit in any gas station restroom I want

I’m with r2. You sound like an idiot.

Get help for your agoraphobia

R25 All the gas station bathrooms are locked where I live.

What state? I’ll avoid going there.

Mother's fool's errand might be the least of the problems in this story.

Cool story!

[quote] Add to that not being able to use any public washrooms and feeling like my bladder was going to burst.

Do you retract your foreskin when you urinate?

The whole thing is hard, strange and scary. I’m so grateful for those people who go out to work every day, we’d be in so much worse trouble without them. But even if you are not an essential worker, life has become difficult and very alienating. I’m so sorry we are all going through this. I know how you feel, OP.

Hi OP, yeah, I was saddened years ago, before mobile devices, when I determined that local garages had become worthless at providing directions. More recently, I find the best places are firehouses and Post Offices, with Police stations a distant third; but not sure about during this pandemic.

Things I had to do today: (do you want my blog entry? No? Ok, then.)

It’s a lady.

R19 and R20 Hamilton, ON Canada

R11 Driving through Hamilton isn't like driving through the big woods, Half Pint.

R9 and R16 I'm on the phone to President Donald J. Trump to request a Congressional Medal of Honor for both of you. If it wasn't for you two I'm sure many of us wouldn't have access to our Depends and cookies.

R28 around here too. Not sure why keeping bathrooms locked makes sense when people are walking in and out of gas stations daily.

R34 Last time I stopped at an OPP detachment for directions was back in 1991. The peeler behind the counter just stared at me without saying a word.

I KNEW IT! I win! It's Canada!

Don't they go to Hamilton in Strange Brew?

Something tells me leaving the house was always an ordeal for you.

Hamilon, ON makes Newark look like the Riviera.

I am a little concerned that the Christmas Moose has developed a dry cough; which is very unusual, and now has a little fever of 103.4°f, also unusual. He’s still yapping non-stop, though. Mother Moose is wrapping both he and I in wet straw and I’m trying to slow her down with daiquiris, but it’s not working. I’m glad I have a moose and his mother to look after, and look after me. I know some people don’t, so I’m sorry about that. Life isn’t fair.

I’ll try to let you know how things go. I just realized that we both woke up shaking, but both stopped shaking, so that’s a plus.

OP, you're a delicate flower.

Oh, yeah, R42, just like Audrey was a delicate flower...

[quote] Mother Moose is wrapping both he and I in wet straw

Oh, dear!

He and me?

OP, I condole you over some of the savage responses. However, I hope you laughed as much as I did. You're OK, though, you brought treats to your mother and aunt. I know they appreciated the treats and your brief visit.

Some questions arise. How far do you live from your mother? How long have you lived near Hamilton? I must say, I live in the northern tip the the large, massively populated Bay Area (northern CA) and I couldn't get lost if I tried. But then I'm good at telling east from west, north from south. All I have to to is go north or northwest and I get home. Living near the ocean helps. Ocean to the right, giant land mass to the left. But then, I have been lost in neighborhoods with which I'm unfamiliar, trying to find someone else's house but I'm quite good at finding my own.

I understand, though, detours can be tricky. I googled Hamilton and it is a quite a large city.

FOCM,

You wouldn’t say “she wrapped he up...,” nor would you say “she wrapped I up....”

It’s correct to say “she wrapped him and me up.”

I hope all y’all are feeling a bit better. I couldn’t live if I found out The Christmas Moose didn’t make it.

Thanks for your service r16!

Thank you, R47. We are feeling better and Mother Moose loves to fuss over both of us, so I think we will be ok.

I wonder idly why people are not helpful with directions any more...

OP asking for directions at the gas station.

Kiss me where it smells.
