  • I was kind of stuck on a mountain road in the middle of nowhere and it started raining cats and dogs. The weather and the road conditions made it unsafe for me to continue on foot. I held my thumb out to catch a lift and the first car passing by picked me up. It was a lovely young family with their two children in their van. They asked me where I wanted to go and I told them ‘just down the mountain back to proper roads’, but they insisted to drive me to where I actually needed to go, which was a detour of at least half an hour for them. Great people. :)














  • I’m queer and once had a date with a black woman from the States while living in Dublin, Ireland. She asked me if I could be her local tourist guide. Sure thing!

    Walked her all across the shitty overpriced city centre. At some point she asked me:

    “Am I the only black person around here?”

    Eventually decided to ditch the CC and take a taxi to my local area.

    Waltzed into my regular pub holding hands, cuddeling.

    The entire place filled with white cis locals went dead silent like in a bad cliche movie.

    “Harry, two pints of the black stuff, will ye?”

    Peeps realised that at least I was a local and continued minding their own business.

    Jeez…
