GOOD MORNING

TRUE STORY:

I was in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade a few years in a row (b/c I'm local to it, hate watching it, and if I'm in it I didn't have to watch it. Also c'mon super cool.)

One year the Weebles were in it and they were behind us. They moved SO-FAST I got to run like 60 city blocks trying to avoid being flattened by a weeble. And they did wobble a lot but never once fell down. They were like 30 ft tall and I still have nightmares.

That's a good poll for today. Do you like parades?

No.

I've been in our city's parade a few times with work. I'll participate but eh, I am not a fan. Definitely don't want to sit and watch.

then why did you participate in them, lmao
B/c if I was IN the parade it was over by the time I got home and I never had to watch it! So I got to dress up like a clown, stuff my "shirt" sleeves with confetti and throw it at kids for a few hours, and meet neat people! Like we met Dolly Parton one year and Joe Nameth one year (idk if I spelled that right) it was neat! And I got out of watching it.

If you would like to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade all you have to do is be a Macy's Employee, which is... not a worthwhile tradeoff tbh.

Do you like parades?

No. Living on the main parade route in a small town ruined that forever for me. Memorable moments include:
  • Not realizing there was a parade and being woken up by the firetruck about 20ft from my bedroom window.
  • Having people think they were going to just sit on my front porch
  • People blocking my driveway with their chairs hours before the parade starts
  • Other people's kids being mean to my kids IN MY YARD and the parents doing nothing.
  • Kids just going in our yard to play on the swingset
  • Some lady being mad I wouldn't let her use my bathroom (there was a gas station across the street)

I just did a prolific survey that made me feel like a loser. Well, I'm done for the day already!
probably the same one I did as my first prolific survey. At least I've made PE more than twice as much on Prolific in 1 survey than I have an hour and a half on turk.

All the parade hate is just warming my heart so much. You guys don't understand. Everyone makes fun of me for hating parades. I have found my people ?

Aww, but I can't view the savages who secretly like parades.

I was in a 4th of July parade one year when I was eight or nine and it was about 104 degrees out. I remember wearing this big dumb cardboard thing (I don't even remember what I was dressed up as) and the whole time I remember just feeling like I was dying and wanting some water. I also remember going to a parade and getting clocked in the head by a piece of hard candy.
