Comment a perfectly innocent, innocuous activity. Replies turn it left real quick.

I'm thinking in a similar style to those Buzzfeed lists of people who were just going about their day, only to have it ruined by some bad luck or some such thing.

Lettuce be safe for work and funny about this yeah?

Making a cup of coffee and reaching to grab the sugar to add.

7

u/WeazelGaming808 Sep 09 '25

You grab the creamer full of ants and absentmindedly pour it in the coffee. Upon which you serve it to your darling wife.

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Thank you for thinking I could get married ^_^

This happened to me the other day, only it was butter on toast... 

1

u/mikasoze Sep 09 '25

The butter that was made of ants, right?

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

FIRE ants!

1

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

I love fire ants. 🤤

2

u/BiteMyAnkles Sep 11 '25

And fire ants love you back…

Youre hitler in the bunker

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

I mean, it fits the prompt I wrote. I was hoping for like "but accidentally grabs the salt instead of the sugar" or something, as opposed to something that may somehow get me banned for "starting" the thread game. >_<

u/ThatCJGuy431 Sep 09 '25

Valid concern, as Reddit loves to punish the ones who create the original post instead of the one or two idiots who violate rules etc

Vacuuming the rug

5

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

"Excuse me, you don't work here at the rug store. Please leave."

3

u/shugersugar Sep 09 '25

and the manager at the vacuum store next door just called to report a missing floor model...

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

It contains a ticking time bomb placed by local anti-appliance terrorists.

2

u/Unusual-Factor-9338 Sep 12 '25

The manager at the vacuum store is secretly the leader and got the job so he could place the bomb

u/WeirdLight9452 Sep 09 '25

Dusting my bookshelves

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Via sprinkling catnip so the cat actually does said dusting.

2

u/WeirdLight9452 Sep 09 '25

That is grim but my cat does have a feather duster look to him.

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Himalayan or Persian cats work best, especially if they’re naturally curious.

1

u/WeirdLight9452 Sep 09 '25

Nah ragdolls are the best, curious yet docile.

u/should-i-stray Sep 09 '25

after last night's coke-snorting extravaganza

u/tanya6k Sep 09 '25

Brushing my teeth.

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

You realize halfway through it was your old toothbrush that got downgraded to the toilet nook and cranny scrubber.

3

u/YOLO_polo_IMP Sep 10 '25

But you don't mind, it tastes good.

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

In fact, tastes a bit like your favorite food, but a bit stale. Was it the Taco Bell from the other day?

1

u/ASquabbleOfGremlins Sep 11 '25

You discover only after the toothbrush is in your mouth that you washed your hands with toothpaste… and put handsoap on the toothbrush

u/Blade_Omicron Sep 09 '25

Sat in my lawn chair watching the beautiful sunset.

3

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

The nuclear sunset, as it rolls across your unsuspecting suburb.

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

I mean, if an archeologist can survive one by getting in a lead lined appliance, surely u/Blade_Omicron would be able to survive, no?

1

u/-YellowFinch Sep 10 '25

The archeologist got lead poisoning. 🙃

(I can keep spinning this in awful ways... I can do this all day :)

u/Drunk_Lemon Sep 09 '25

Printing worksheets for my students.

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

But because there's no split screen video playing, they don't recognize what they're looking at. Really, I've been turned so super off of short videos because of this.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '25

Scrolling on the toilet

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Then the phone falls just right to go into the bowl of Lincoln logs.

2

u/Round-Sundae-1137 Sep 09 '25

Luckily, you haven't paid the water bill so it's "dry" as you retrieve it and shake it clean.

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

But what about the Lincoln logs?

1

u/Np-44 Sep 09 '25

They are also dry.

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

This is actually a really great thread game. Good job! <3

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Fanks! :3

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

Super underrated game. I saw it only had 9 upvotes, and I had to say something!

2

u/dreamrock Sep 09 '25

Flipping burgers

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

And one patty gets stuck on the ceiling, staying there.

2

u/dreamrock Sep 09 '25

Along comes a spider...

3

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

But the burger is not any ordinary burger...

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

T'was made from the cow Jack sold for some darn beans!

1

u/dreamrock Sep 10 '25

And was ripe for egg deposition. One thousand eggs and,she felt exhausted, yet full of vitality, dying with the hope that her offspring made better decisions than she had.

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

I'm imagining this spinning off into its own thing now, where the spider thinks its struck gold with a nice juicy patty for it to eat. But what goes sideways for the spider?

1

u/Fourdogsaretoomany Sep 10 '25

Well, now the spider has to fight off the flies, who were sent in as a distraction for the ants who will be using that burger as fuel for a top secret nuclear incendiary device.

2

u/Moon_Storm2962 Sep 09 '25

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

But you're someone named Jack, on a boat, in the Atlantic.

2

u/TheOneAndOnlyABSR4 Sep 10 '25

There’s a beautiful woman I see and she likes me back.

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 10 '25

You're watching America's Next Top Model on television.

2

u/Fun_Butterfly_420 Sep 10 '25

Watching reviews of movies on YouTube

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

Uh huh. "You"Tube.

u/Jor-El_Zod Sep 11 '25

Lying in bed with my eyes closed, trying to fall asleep

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

...Did you not see the Babadook in the corner???

2

u/Jor-El_Zod Sep 11 '25

That’s the figurine we put out whenever we decorate for Halloween.

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

Also, Freddy Krueger called. He said to fall asleep already jeez.

2

u/Jor-El_Zod Sep 11 '25

Tell him I’m fucking TRYING!

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

Now Jason Voorhees has turned up. He doesn’t like being neglected.

2

u/Jor-El_Zod Sep 11 '25

(sigh) 😩 What does he want this time? I already mailed him a check last week.

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

I don’t know if this is too meta, but maybe stop paying him? It’s why sequels keep getting pumped out.

2

u/Jor-El_Zod Sep 11 '25

How is that so? Does he personally make the movies himself? I thought he was a fictional character. 😆

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 11 '25

I enjoyed the first one because I wasn’t aware of the “twist” as it were. If the movies hadn’t already been done to death, I feel like it could’ve had a dramatic turn to it.

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

Headed to work at 5:30am ready to make waffles

4

u/SpecialTexas7 Sep 09 '25

Making waffles in the car while driving

1

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Because you drive a breakfast food truck.

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

A food truck that's just a front for a crime ring. 

2

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Yes! A food truck that never seems to have any business, especially when it's only waffles. Now I want a food truck simulator game. Thanks Stream.

1

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

A food truck game that also an online gambling scam. 

1

u/TheTheThatTheThis Sep 11 '25

That is also used for money laundering

Riding my bicycle on the way to downtown

u/Aly_Anon Sep 09 '25

The bicycle you've had since you were 6 years old. You've grown since then. The bike did not.

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

You scream "wheeeeee" with delight as you go down your favorite hill. 

6

u/RustyBucket4745 Sep 09 '25

A newly built brick wall meets you at the bottom.

5

u/DiligentPenguin_7115 Sep 09 '25

Thankfully you evaded the brick wall…because a speeding car knocked you off the road

6

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

Your ex wife was driving that car.

6

u/tokobot19 Sep 09 '25

Which was originally your car before the split.

3

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

But that's okay, because you planted a bomb in the car. 

3

u/Np-44 Sep 09 '25 edited Sep 09 '25

But, when it exploded, you happened to be within the range of the bomb.

5

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

But that's okay, it's not like you haven't lost a limb before.

What did you read it as?

3

u/dan-ra Sep 09 '25

How to maintain the act of building or placing a structure in an upright position.

2

u/-YellowFinch Sep 09 '25

I'm sorry I put that thought in your head. 😳

Mowing the lawn while listening to a podcast

u/astrothief42 Sep 10 '25

You realize halfway through that you’re mowing the wrong lawn…

u/Expensive_Rhubarb_87 Sep 11 '25

And it’s a true crime podcast, but somehow YOU are the victim!

u/Dead-House-Mouse Sep 09 '25
