And A-1

Hiring a prostitute just have someone to talk to. This actually happens. I can only imagine how sad it is.
22
There were points in my life where I really considered doing just that. Therapists are expensive.
14
Try a strip club. I've not been to lots of them though, so they might be hit and miss
1
Private sessions still cost less than an hour at the Psychicatrist, depending on the club
2
My thoughts exactly.
1
I once went to a strip club and talked to an attractive woman for about an hour, I dunno if she was just being nice to get money out of me for a dance, I dunno if she was pissed off and not showing it because I was wasting time talking, she might have even enjoyed a break from dancing, I have no idea.
It was only at the end of the hour I paid for a dance
1
I live in the middle east and strip clubs don't exist out here. Plus private sessions with strippers would be quite expensive I imagine.

Going to Disney World and just ride the monorail all day.
20
I've done this. I went with my sister and her stepfather's family one year but somehow lost my shoes during the drive from MS. On the way to the park, we stopped by some shop and I picked up a cheap pair of sandals.
They were ok through epcot. Blisters started to form in magic kingdom. By the time we got to the monorail to go to another section, I was in agony. I rode the monorail for like 5 hours enjoying the air conditioning until they were ready to go.

We lived in Florida. My parents had season passes from my Dad's job. They took us over there all the time. I was over it by the time I was in my teens so me and some friends got on the monorail and rode it around the park most of the day. Every time it went through the Contemporary Hotel we would go down to the game room and play air hockey then walk up the hidden stairway and smoke a joint. Fun if you'r a teenager and have season tickets.

Going to a regular restaurant and getting grilled cheese.
It is on the menu for kids. It seems funny when an adult pays so much for someone to make them a grilled cheese.
14
The grilled cheese sandwiches at the bowling alley are awesome.
3
There was a specialty grilled cheese place close to my house. Had fried chicken grilled cheese, 5 cheese, egg and all sorts of things. It’s closed now :(
3
i haven't had grilled cheese for 1 and a 1/2 years
edit: why am i downvoted i just want grilled cheese
edit2.0: thank you for undownvoting me

Getting on Reddit and only upvoting reposts
13
Browsing on Reddit everyday for years, but never making an account. My brother does this and it just seems bizarre to me.
8
I mean, if you only want to read stuff and don't care about discussing/submitting anything, I guess. Seems like with all that lurking there would be at least some point where you'd want to chime in, but to each their own...
1
I remember I got my account originally so that I could manage subscriptions and curate my content. I could feel myself get stupider every time I saw a r/aww post.
2
Going to a bar and ordering coffee.
Hell, I love coffee and know this is a no no.
12
Irish coffee is my go to "I want to be social but I'm sleepy" drink
6
I'm about as not-a-coffee-snob as they come, and can pretty much enjoy any 7-11 or hotel coffee, but the one time I ordered coffee from a bar was the exception. That travesty of lukewarm brown water felt like an intentional punishment for ignoring etiquette.
4
I did this quite a lot but i had to entertain clients and was suffering from some alcohol related health issues.
EDIT: Joints and ankle hurts when i drink
2
That's fair. But I'd imagine if you had a hang out with friends where you went drinking they'd be understanding of your ordering coffee. But someone without that issue... it's just kind of a buzzkill if you do it to just kinda do it.
2
I AM NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM is perhaps what they are thinking
1
going to mexican and getting chicken tenders or a burger
10
Going to Noodles and Company and ordering buttered noodles
9
I've done this.
2
This is the only thing I order. The cheese is so damn good.

My own personal example was a friends sister at Disneyland, who insisted on waiting in line for the carousel. She was little, so I understand wanting something mellow and not scary, but Disneyland has, like, the best non-scary rides ever made - you can go on a standard carousel anywhere.

A LOT of tourists that come over here say that our local KFC (Caribbean island, Trinidad) tastes 100 times better than where they're from. They claim theirs is kind of bland but love ours because it's spicy. I've never tasted KFC anywhere else tbh, but i'll take their word for it.
6
KFC in Midwest US is bland. B l a n d. Black pepper is spicier than the spicy chicken here. Appreciate the spicy chicken you have.
2
From what I read in the internet the KFCs in Germany is better than the US KFCs. It seems that this goes for most of the fast food brands.

Playing fortnite and sitting in a bush

Getting a console to play Fortnite

Going to any restaurant and ordering the soup and salad combo.

But it's the only thing I want from Olive Garden. That salad, god it's amazing.
3
Getting regular coke from those fancy 100 plus flavor coke machines
5
Going to a BDSM party and asking to be talked dirty to.

I was sent to Malaga for a week with a colleague for work, the hotel was right by the beach as the work we were doing was at the docks, he refused to go to the beach after each shift and only ate in the hotel

Going to another country and eating at McDonalds
Chinese tourists with suitcase full of instant noodles. Thailand has Chinese restaurants full of Chinese tourists eating Chinese food.
Edit: Thailand also has a ton of pubs full of Brits eating Burgers and fries.
Ugh. My family is Chinese and literally any time we travel somewhere they only want to eat Chinese food. I harbor a mild resentment towards them for all the cuisine experiences I missed out on.
As a Brit with no knowledge, my understanding is most people go to Thailand for ladyboys
Lol, i notice this too all around SEA.
I've gone to some American restaurants in Japan just to try their variations, like the Cajun chicken sandwich at Subway or the Teriyaki burger at McDonalds. Sometimes its just fun to see the subtle differences.
I did this in Japan out of curiosity and the food was quite a bit better than what you get on average in the US
yeah this, then they complain about how there are no good food in X country.
But they're different in other countries! We don't have sweet tea in Canada. :(

Ok this is subjective. I’m Canadian and got McDonalds in Prague and Slovakia and it was an entirely different experience. Their McDonald’s is way nicer than North America’s.
I went on a snowboarding trip to Japan. Ate traditional for the entire trip. On my layover in Tokyo on the way home I saw a dude roll by with a McDonald’s bag. That’s when I knew, that my last meal on Japanese soil was gonna be a Big Mac. I’m a dirty American.
But the McDonalds in Mexico still have the angus burgers.
Went to korea, could not get enough protein. Had to resort to american chains to feel full. I am pretty open to any and all food minus tendons, and major organs, and lutefisk and dog soup.
