    Bf and I wanna get a dog and name her Grandma for similar reasons.

    “Yeah, sorry I’m late, Grandma got a little too excited and made a mess in the kitchen”

    “I can’t do that, sorry, I’m taking Grandma to the vet”

    Etc

    Edit: I love seeing people adding their own in the comments and playing in the space. It really is a fun game. I’ll bring it up when my partner is in a bad mood and it never fails to cheer him up.

    Alternatively, religious figures

    Jesus hates it when i change my sheet

    Bhudda thinks I should go on more walks.

    Mohammed shits all over everything if I give him crackers. Never again.

    Moses always stares at me like an idiot when I’m on the computer. We started giving him live food and he thinks he’s smarter than me now.

    Confucius said ‘fuck you!’ today. I’m so proud.

    Dennis likes to sleep on the bed with me, but my girlfriend is allergic and doesn’t like him in the bedroom.

    Sorry I can’t come in earlier, I have to give Dennis insulin at set times and he tries to bite my roommate if they give it to him.

    I have lots of pets with human names Dolly, Jim, Steve, Frank, Percy and so on. I love talking about them and never mentioning any detail about them being animals. People give me the strangest looks. “yeah Steve bit Jim on the ass again the other day.” good stuff.

      I know someone with multiple daughters and that’s a very plausible sentence for them. (None of the girls are named Steve or Jim though.)

    I have a friend who always talked about Michael. After 2 years of hearing about him, I asked her why doesn’t she bring him around to meet us.

    It was her fucking cat.

    Dogs shouldn’t be eating raisins or grapes anyway, they’re toxic to them and can cause kidney failure

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed

This isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts

Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
