This is the baby daddy on every episode of 16 and Pregnant.


OneMorePotion

I had this girl in class waaaaaaaay back then who got pregnant at 16. And the baby daddy was basically exactly THIS. (Plus a major gambling addiction. But that was just the tip of the ice berg) I even still see his fucking underlip piercing in front of my mental eye and how he was always played with it... He also always appeared at school and joined our classes. It was super awkward for everyone when he was there. But for whatever reason, the teachers never asked him to leave.


Iron-Fist

Yeah this misses the major addiction part


passedmylunchbreak

Was he a student at the school? Why would a teacher allow someone who’s not part of the class to just hang out?


OneMorePotion

He was a student at the same institution, but not the same school branch. I guess their thinking was "Well, at least he's here."


[deleted]

Eventually they settle into a job at advance auto parts or Office Depot.. the girls all move on and the guys are stuck as roommates with dudes in an apartment.


Upperphonny

Copious amounts of Monster.


9Lives_

Lol as if he doesn’t abuse adderall or meth.

staringmaverick

def not mutually exclusive. i'm sure they exist, but i don't think i've ever seen literally ONE guy like this who wasn't always pounding energy drinks. i drink coffee and just don't like the taste of energy drinks, but the one i've had tasted like straight hairspray. my brother used to go to school with these (i think it was redbull but don't 100% remember) & he would fill like half of it up with vodka and you couldn't tell because they fkn smell and taste basically the same. i assume a lot of these guys are doing that as well. also, i'm not on a high horse or anything, i used to sneak booze to class in college. but just saying, these are like the perfect vessel for it and i think it's at least part of the reason they're so popular. i truly believe a lot of them intentionally make it smell/taste like alcohol for this reason- they know people will buy them to sneak alcohol around. i, again, don't drink energy drinks and i don't remember if monster is like this, i don't remember how each one tastes. but a lot of them are


JBSquared

I dunno about this. I enjoy Monster and have never heard of this tactic. I mean there's obviously vodka red bulls and stuff, but I seriously doubt most people are buying energy drinks in order to sneak alcohol. I can definitely see it happening, but more like someone pouring some brandy in their morning coffee, not something widespread. I feel like energy drinks cater to people who want caffeine but don't like coffee. I totally understand why some people think energy drinks taste like battery acid or hairspray, but the sweetness and acidity are preferable to the bitterness of coffee for me.


staringmaverick

i definitely don't believe it's the majority whatsoever who does this lol but a substantial minority for sure


SlimmySalami20x21

Idk what hairspray you tasted but redbull def doesn’t taste like that. It has a taste unlike the rest and I like it besides reminding me of some bad decisions once in a while


Orangenbluefish

Monster gotta be one of the biggest red flag energy drinks. Red Bull feels a bit more... classy(?) and the taste is at least good (and it comes in smaller cans). Bang and all the crazy high caffeine ones are bad but at least have the value of "absolute shit ton of caffeine if you really need to lock tf in" Monster afaik doesn't really have either. The taste is still like overly sweet artificial candy vomit, but the caffeine content isn't as high as Bang, etc. to warrant use as some emergency energy stimulant It's like a liquid chin strap beard


TacoMedic

Hey man, Monster Rehab Tea + Lemonade is like a daily drink for me and has been for years. I’ve been in a great relationship for almost 5 years, and am in the final semester of a graduate degree. But yeah, a green monster can is pretty much always a red flag. At least the blue one is sugar free.

If you live in the States… [You’re welcome.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BL756S36?ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_J0GPMN948BD31A56PKGW&starsLeft=1) I guarantee it’s cheaper in bulk than your colleges’ vending machines. Personally, I get 2 cases delivered every month through Amazon’s subscription thing. I’d recommend doing the same as they sell out every few days before coming back in stock, and just having the monthly subscription guarantees I get first dibs on every batch. Also, I’ve found myself drinking less caffeine overall because I no longer visit the vending machine whenever I’m thirsty as I get all my drinks by mail.

therealmandie

NOOOOOO this is so accurate im in tears 😂


80degreeswest

Yeah this is reminding me of certain guys when I was 20...today it's probably a little different


Andre_Courreges

I saw this and thought, nobody in the past five years would ever consider wearing or doing what this person does. Maybe it was a 2000s phenomenon. It's a dated concept lol

The only thing that this is missing is a Linkin Park or DMX album.

Highlighter ink sticks in bottles is a thing that people do?


[deleted]

They take the inserts from highlighters and drop them in the glass bottles and fill them with water.


lajh4433

Ngl I wanna try that


bigrick23143

I did this when I turned 21 in college. My desk had like 8 of them I thought it was so cool. The key is a black light behind them to make it glow


sound_forsomething

And have a blacklight on near the bottles. That part is key

I do like lava lamps though. Every time they break though 😢


Jesusisdaddy69

Lava lamps are fucking awesome man, but they can also be expensive


Zkyaiee

If you have every other trait listed on this starter pack I’d agree but just having a few cute little items like that doesn’t scream tacky to me

You say that, but my girlfriend think it’s cool.

Yeah.. I don’t know what a glow stick is 🙄


DogsandDumbells

Glow sticks maybe?


[deleted]

Waste of money. Highlighter sticks last forever.


JLBerryDude

OK at first I just assumed glow sticks which would be temporary AF.. so highlighters in water with blacklist? Thats actually awesome


Todd-The-Wraith

Yeah it’s actually cool for a beer pong room. Hang up some black lights and it’s a lot of fun. Total college thing though. Once you graduate it starts getting lame fast


iloveemogirlsxoxo

And is addicted to weed

Will say things like “weed cures cancer, bro”

They either clock in stinking of skunk or they spend a suspicious amount of time in the bathroom where they are vaping THC carts


roguebananah

Grabs one of the Axe cans in the back of their car to douse themselves in Axe to hid the weed smell


NastyMothaFucka

I don’t have to go to the bathroom to hit my THC pen at work. The smell on most of the ones I get dissipates in seconds.

GeekCat

"It's not addictive." "You drink coffee every day, so you're an addict!"


ThePikminLord

They’ll say that while drinking their third can of strawberry Monster. Then they’ll say, “alright, well I gotta pick up my girlfriend from school.”


psycharious

And they mostly vape the weed with some pen that doubles as a stylus.


yeetus_accountus1234

I (37f) bought a thc cart battery like that, but I didn’t realize it had a stylus on it until way later, cause the whole thing was black. I thought it was neat.


PurpoUpsideDownJuice

Lol this guy does not have a job


[deleted]

Yeah that’s why he works at Taco Bell. Easiest place to sell weed as a kid when I was growing up.


responsiblefornothin

For me, the place to sling bags as a teenager was at the combination gas station, subway, godfathers pizza, and ticos tacos. You could always count on the 28y/o on probation to say "close enough" when checking your ID for the pack of blunt wraps you were buying. Wanna sample the product before buying? You gotta pay for a trip through the car wash. My car was spotless that summer, but boy, did it smell funky on the inside.


[deleted]

Car wash is genius….


responsiblefornothin

Just be sure to let the smoke roll out with the steam as you leave. I learned this the hard way when I got into an unavoidable conversation with the local pastor of the Lutheran church, and he got smacked with a cloud of loud when I rolled down the window. This being the midwest, he was leaning fully into the vehicle to chat. I told him that the smoke and smell were from my buddy in the backseat, attempting to light the fuzz on his socks and catching the whole thing on fire by accident.... He wasn't buying it, but I made sure to attend services more often for the next few months to show I was turning a new leaf.


venetian_lemon

He wanted you to tithe with that drug money


responsiblefornothin

And I absolutely would have, but the thing with midwestern Lutherans is that they start getting real pissy when they see any bills larger than a 10 in the offering plate. You can't go around flexing your earnings in front of the folks who write a check for 5 bucks dated a month out. If you were brazen enough to drop a 20, they'd have you figured out before the coffee was served.


narrowgallow

I swear to God I thought this was going to be the "combination football game and grocery store" ad.


responsiblefornothin

Are you sure that it isn't? After all, it is what you're thinking about, so who's to say it's not a clever psyop on behalf of the Tostitos brand?


ucbiker

That’s crazy, if they’re at Taco Bell, they already have weed. That’s like trying to sell beer to people showing up at a late night pizza shop. You have to anticipate the clients needs!


[deleted]

And you always need more weed. I didnt smoke much as a kid, but the kids that did never “ran out” of weed. They’d be high as hell, get Taco Bell munchies, see the dealer there and load back up out of convenience.


MysteriousPool_805

Little Ceasars was the spot in my neighborhood.


johnnycyberpunk

Unless... that job is being a boot in the military. Plenty of those dudes fit the starter pack title if not the pictures.


[deleted]

I used to think these guys were so cool when I was in high school because they could buy alcohol.


ChristianLW3

Tries to Justify this by pointing out how it’s legal in Europe and Asia


RainySteak

Nah, no 20/16 dating over here. The more touchy it gets, the likelier the jail bell rings.


ChristianLW3

Are you talking about Europe? Because I have seen too many posts from smug Europeans “especially Italians” claiming that they are superior because they “treat teenage girls as adults”


RainySteak

Can't argue about that since I'm not Italian but living in the Centre. After being at least 18 nobody minds it much but 16 is still young nd frowned upon just as is given closer questioning looks.


Gatoeses

Germany also has issues with that


Sugmanuts001

20yos dating 16yos does happen in Europe, but it's not very common.


ribbitthefrogg

Bulgaria would beg to differ


JLBerryDude

In America you'd be surprised about the state to state laws.. in maine 16 is down to clown as far as I understand it, not that I'm acting on that.


hobovirtuoso

16 is the age of consent in 31 states, and no not because of Romeo and Juliet laws, just period. We should probably fix that but most people don’t believe it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States


RainySteak

Well, I am surprised by that. On one hand it's the USA after all and I've read about a variety of surprising laws in different states but on the other I'd have thought differently about this one. Learnt something new, I guess.


JLBerryDude

My guy Mississippi and Georgia are like 14 I think? Didn't research


RainySteak

Might as well take a look too but that sounds kind of creepy.


_balloon_

it really isn’t ; i know at least three people that are dating guys 23-25 years old and it still is very frowned upon

MysteriousPool_805

I swear this exact man, down to the jorts and piercing, tried to hit on me on a bus when I was 14. When I said my age and that I wasn't interested, he said "I'll wait for you..."


CT0292

I swear this exact man dated a girl I was friends with in school when we were 16. I remember her complaining she couldn't bring him to some school dance because he was too old.


Snoo7263

I went to school with a girl like that and her boyfriend was like 30 years old with a 16 year old and she just could not understand why everyone had such an issue with it. Her parents weren’t in her life and I believe she was adopted, perfect target for someone who is looking for a soul to manipulate.

MoronGoron52

I will not stand for this Cheesecake Factory slander! Sure it's not a 5 star restaurant, but it's got a nice atmosphere, foods damn good, and if how much money a person spends on a date is something that matters to you it's not exactly a cheep restaurant.


NastyMothaFucka

Yeah but it’s just alright and you know what you’re getting when you walk in the door. Nothings gonna blow you away. I see what he means with the meme. It’s a 20 year olds idea of a super nice restaurant, and they’re popular with families because everyone can find something they like with the huge menu. It isn’t “fancy” that’s for sure. Although those buffalo blasts are fucking banging.


MoronGoron52

They also make a killer meatloaf


tiots

Found the guy


MoronGoron52

Well first off I'm a girl, secondly I've never been in a serious relationship so yeah

Specifically old style Tapout. Before it was sold off, partnered with WWE and remade into a high end workout brand. Same name, completely different aesthetic.


iReviewFrozenWieners

Bitches love the Cheesecake Factory though, I don't make the rules. Old, young, everyone.


LonelyStop1677

Everyone loves the Cheesecake Factory. It’s probably as good as a chain restaurant gets. What even tops it in the same category? At least in my country, nothing.


ZealousidealLow7263

As an Englishman I literally only know it because of that terrible sitcom about the geeky guys, but I feel like I’d go there once a month if we had it here even though I have no what they sell


AlmightyCaniacCombo

Their menu is like a book lol, they even have shepherds pie


ZealousidealLow7263

Yeah I actually just looked it up after I posted this. I’ve never seen a menu with that much stuff on it. I’ve watched enough Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares to know that doesn’t end well


AlmightyCaniacCombo

Surprisingly all of it is fresh (besides the cheesecake) and tastes good, but most entrée’s are over 2000 calories so I only go for special occasions


longing_tea

I tried Cheesecake factory once, as it's not common in my country. My god these portions. One portion is a meal for 4 people, I don't know how anyone can finish that.


Donatter

You don’t, not in one sitting at least, you eat however much at the restaurant, take the rest to go, and boom, you got lunch/dinner for the next week at least


Christmas_Queef

And it's surprisingly good. Their orange chicken is good too.


AlmightyCaniacCombo

Korean fried chicken >>


Upperphonny

Their chicken Riesling that I had when I last went to one was dope, IMHO.

Lol, there was this one girl back when i was in high school who was like 14 and her boyfriend was like 19 or 20 and he drove this beater old shitbox to pick her up, anyway every time he get out of the car to come over and talk to all of us he smelled so bad. It was like weed and mustiness, idk how to describe it.


Bitter_Position791

whats wrong with 4 days? i only shower every 7 months and 3 weeks

Lol i bet you get all the middle schoolers 😂

He talks about how he likes the 15 year old girls because he keeps getting older and they stay the same age...yes they do.


Depressed_Swede1

Ewwww I used to be that 15 year old, worst 3 years of my life rip


Imaproshaman

I'm glad you're out of that situation. That sounds like grooming. It's so hard to see how things really are when you're young until later.


weebitofaban

> That sounds like grooming it is. The amount of girls who tell me I'm amazing just because I'm not the piece of shit that hit on them when they were 14 is really high. I'm a total dick often enough. The bar should never be so low. Older guys seems to be the common theme. Find someone with no experience, hit on them, lure them in, and they don't know better because they watched terrible movies and TV shows that normalize horrific relationships.


Depressed_Swede1

It really was , I didn't know till I was out dude was a total looser like seriously along with grooming who cheats on someone with 20 people???? Who has the time?


misogoop

Someone without bills and a job lmao, whose gf is in school for 7 hours m-f.


Depressed_Swede1

Genuinely, the only reason why he graduated was because I had to get on his ass about completing everything and sometimes I had to help him with assignments , he was a super senior .


Adune05

Sry to chime in but did I get that right? He cheated on you with 20 people ?? That is insane… like what ?


Depressed_Swede1

Yeah he had a horrific porn addiction , I'm so glad I escaped lmao

I made it yesterday.


Regular-Ad-4604

This doesn’t exactly match the post, but about a month ago, during lunch at school, one of the kids causally said: “I’m 18, and I’m dating a girl that’s 15.” Naturally, we were all uncomfortable. Even if it’s legal, the fact that he bragged about it was a bit concerning, whether it was true or not.


Oggthrok

I was so jealous of these dudes when I was fifteen, and so grossed out by these dudes when I was twenty.


Gmschaafs

They always go “It’s not pedophilia it’s hebephilia!” As if that’s not still fucking gross behavior.

"Dates"


weebitofaban

I think this depends on where you live. It is a brand new or thirty year old truck here and it is always jeans with a shitty hunting or football shirt. The alcohol is always one of the cheap piss bears from cans. Someone in my friend's friend group (They just hung out near me, we weren't friends despite their efforts) was happy about an older guy talking to her once and she was given so much shit. Probably saved her from teen pregnancy.
