Anecdotes Community

A great way of understanding someone's character is how they react after the word "No".

Probably an obvious or cliché topic but it shines a light on emotional intelligence. Does anybody else have any good anecdotes to share?

Conversation tip

Spice up your anecdotes by ending them with, "...before all the allegations."

It's really impressive how you blend your passion for standup with travel. I can only imagine the hilarious anecdotes you must collect along the way! What’s the funniest moment you've encountered on your adventures?

You owe the grave nothing.

You owe the grave nothing. Not redemption. Not symmetry. Not an apology polished into marble. You are not a debt that can be settled by disappearing. Live, if only to spite every voice that insists your story has already been written. Live long enough that your nightmares become anecdotes you… read more

Another poll

Is sugaring a real job to you? Any anecdotes?

Please. I beg of you. I get shown maybe one person out of one hundred I have interest in. Not even taking looks into account. I typed out a whole-ass bio with facts and anecdotes. I know. I believe. In my heart of hearts. You can do better than "Hey" as a message. We're all better than "Hey"

I would rather you insult every single facet of me as a human. Than "Hey" I would rather you steal my identity than "Hey" if I wanted to experience talking to the self checkout kiosk. Id go to Costco for the real experience. (edited)

Always been curious about that 🤔

Anybody have interesting anecdotes?

Thing about old friends

They know the switch board in old stairwells that still reek of poetry and humdrum laughter and cheap cigarettes. They know the shortest way around a water fountain, and bring up anecdotes about intellectual property theft and scabs on knees that you'd much rather forget. They have gaps between… read more

Challenge runs

What's something really cool that you've done in a video game for the sole purpose of challenging yourself?

Communicating with UFO's with torch light.

I've come across this peculiar tale about making contact with UFOs using a flashlight. The idea is that if you spot a UFO in the sky at a close distance, you can employ a flashlight to establish communication. Allegedly, the UFO responds to the light. Some even claim that Morse code becomes the… read more

This is a story I read online. This is not for the faint of heart. It's a real tear jerker.

My parents were married for 55 years. One morning, my mom was going downstairs to make dad breakfast, she had a heart attack and fell. My father picked her up as best he could and almost dragged her into the truck. At full speed, without respecting traffic lights, he drove her to the… (edited) read more

I've always liked writing. I was a child when I wrote my first story, which was printed into a little booklet for me. As a teenager I wrote a 200+ page fanfiction story starring myself as the main character with characters from lots of different shows I loved at the time, from Yu Yu Hakusho to… read more

The Geordie Constellation

I’ll never forget the smell of the sweat, from under her armpit. It was a warm October night on That Feckin' Island, and the air was thick with a blend of heather, damp earth, and an inexplicable pungency emanating from the last remaining patches of turf on the surrounding hills. I had the… read more

If anyone seems to get angry at anecdotes, or other's experiences; just know, these people are not speaking about you or in your behalf. It's all in your head and the anger is just ego deflating. Introspection and reflection is part of growth. (edited)

Sanderson interview with Ferris

Just listened to it on YouTube. Even as someone who listened to Writing Excuses and Sanderson's university lectures, there were a lot of interesting anecdotes about building a self-publishing business and marketing.

An excerpt from Allen Ginsberg's "Howl"

I was out for an evening walk the other day, and I snapped this pic that just screamed "romantic metaphor" to me.
