As an autistic person with ADHD I am going to leave this one alone. 😬

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 53 points 1 year ago

As an ADHD person I have so many stories.

But I can't remember a goddamn one of them.

Lady at work told our office one day at lunch that her chihuahua died because it poked its head thru the fence and the neighbours rottweiler bit its head clean off. I could not stop laughing for the rest of the day. Even now its hard not to laugh. I know Im disgusting for thinking it funny, I love animals and would never hurt one, but it was the way she said it, "clean off, i went to take him away from the fence and his collar fell off, his head was completely gone. Neighbours dog at it."

Something about that story loops around from horrible into laughter. Its just so horrible the brain's error handling is like "I dunno try laughing about it"

I know in real life it must have been gory and tragic, and I would normally never laugh about someone losing a pet, but the first mental image that comes to mind for me is cartoony and ridiculous so I'm with you on this one

No, that’s funny. You were right

You know what they say: it's how you tell em.

[–] H4mi@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Holy shit haha!

I don’t know the specifics and I love animals as well, but I think as a porcelain rat dogℒ️ owner with a rottweiler neighbour, you should anticipate some risk and act accordingly. Big dogs killing the shit out of rat sized dogs by little more than a growl is very common after all.

I just read that as a chihuahua walked into the cafe :0

Joke way to tell people, "As an autistic/ADHD person, if you want me to be able to read the room you better write it down. Preferably with bold text an bright colors."

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago
