What Weird Things Has Your Pet Chewed Up Or Eaten?

Ryan was walking through the office the other day and overheard someone telling another co-worker that his dog ate his glasses. No really, the dog ate his glasses.

Nicole’s dog Phoebe has chewed up her glasses a bunch of times. Ryan’s friend once found his laptop all chewed up by his dog.

Does Your Job Have A Weird Rule About Dress Code & Appearance?

Disney just announced that their changing an appearance policy they’ve had in place for 60 years. They’re finally going to allow facial hair. It’s a little strange that they didn’t allow facial hair in the first place (although, mustaches can be a smidge creepy sometimes).

Luckily, here at Sirius XM there aren’t many weird rules regarding our appearance. We can pretty much dress how we’d like.

But what about your job? Does your company have any weird rules regarding appearance?

Do You Know Someone With A Weird Quirk That Makes Them Not Do Or Use Something Considered Completely Normal?

Ryan went to visit his family back in Pennsylvania not too long ago and had dinner with his family. He noticed something about his cousin that he had never noticed before. She was eating dinner with plastic silverware. When Ryan asked her about it, she said that she doesn’t use metal silverware. She won’t eat with it and hasn’t since she was a kid. She’ll even bring her own plastic silverware to a restaurant.

Ryan also knew someone who refused to make left hand turns when they drove. He never found out why but he knew that person did not turn left.

Do you someone with a weird quirk like that? They won’t do or use something completely normal and go out of their way to avoid it?

Have You Ever Fallen For An Informercial & Bought The Product?

Ryan was watching TV this weekend and once it got to a certain point late in the night, the regular programming switched off and an infomercial switched on. He watched for a couple minutes just to see what it was about but he couldn’t understand how infomercials are so successful. Who actually sits there and watches the whole thing and believes the claims?

Rich disagrees with Ryan and thinks some infomercials can be very addicting. He found himself watching one about Brazilian butts over the weekend for over half an hour.

Ryan says that’s the point with informercials. They make something that’s not that awesome look really awesome.

Have you ever fallen for an infomercial and ordered the product? Have you ever seen the Brazilian butt infomercial Rich is talking about?

If You Have A Sibling Would You Rather A Friend Or A Random Person Date Them?ndom

Ryan was hanging out with a buddy this weekend, a guy he’s known since college, and he found out that this guy has a twin sister. In all the years that Ryan’s known this guy, he’s never mentioned to him, or anyone else for that matter, that he has a twin. It turns out that this guy just didn’t want any of his guy friends knowing that he had a sister because he didn’t want them hitting on her and trying to get with her.

Rich doesn’t understand that theory. Wouldn’t you rather have someone you know date your sister rather than a complete stranger? Ryan thinks that exact same thing.

If you have a sibling, would you rather a friend date them or someone random?
