    Text - TheFoxyHound 13d I work in a toll booth and was working on the westbound side. A lady drove up to my booth really mad, which is par for the course but I digress. She told me that every day she takes this route home from work, and every. single. day. the sun is directly in her eyes... Well of course, shes driving westbound at 6 pm. When I mentioned this she brushed it off and asked "well can't you change the direction of the road or at least put a cover over it?! I can't be the only person

    Text - Jagerlied 13d "Can you name ALL the digits of pi?" Confused, I recited a couple of number before trailing off. A friend beside me piped up, claiming that he could indeed name every single digit. Cue 2 minutes of him bullshitting his way through pi, making appropriate pauses to think or to do some quick "mental math" before continuing. All of this was done with the asker pointing her phone at him, convinced she's got the next viral hit. Needless to say, holding back my laughter was extreme

I didn't know what she meant so I asked her to explain and then she said: "Well, are there any countries in the world that are just kind of, in the sky?" I was so confused that I just sat there in silence but eventually she says "I mean, is there land on the earth in the sky where people live that are countries?" At that point I just gave up a
