:o oh my God. I never thought up that. :O dudeeeeee!!!! Woah. Oh man and that episode with the sisters hair. I thought their hair was that color the whole time.
Heavy metal is called metal because it's "harder than rock". Movies are called movies because they are moving pictures, or motion pictures. So obvious, but took me decades to realize that. Always just thought of movies as "a random word describing those entertaining things we watch".
"Heavy metal is called metal because it's "harder than rock"." That's not at all why it's called that. It was first used as an insult by music critiques and then became codified into becoming a genre because it sounded cool.
Movie initially referred to silent films. Then, as as audio for voice lines got implemented, they started getting referred to as talkies. Needless to say, "talkie" didn't catch on.
My friend met a Japanese man who didn’t know what “break a leg” meant. I believe he also was sad every time someone said it to him. My friend had to explain that the meaning was actually positive.
@@crazyboutferrets It's supposed to be superstition about tempting fate to defy what you claim and be good and things to go well. Similar to the reverse notion that expecting something good might "jinx" it.
The phrase "Results may vary" at the end of commercials and stuff. When I was a kid, I for some reason thought May Vary was the name of some famous science lady who tested everything and they were just crediting her for the results.
Lol, i love when young kids misinterpret stuff like that. I remember as a kid seeing a speed limit sign that said "school zone, fines higher". I, for whatever reason, interpreted that as "this is the speed limit, but it's fine if you go a little faster, which I thought was weird, but I just went with it. Then I learned how to drive, passed my old elementary school and saw that sign, and was suddenly reminded of the weird assumption I made at 5 years old. 🤦😂😂😂
I grew up around farms and we would often find random dogs and cats in our yard that no one in the area would claim so we kept them. So some people actually were dropping their pets off at farms.
Sometimes people would pay us to take care of their dogs for a while and then never picked them up. A pack of dogs was good security and they killed groundhogs, so we didn't mind.
@@Ugh718 Groundhogs are awful. They raid the gardens and are destructive. Their holes are a risk to draft animals and cattle that might trip in them. They are fierce and not safe to have around. If the dogs didn't get them we would have to shoot them.
i still remember the dreams i had during a fever at the age of 6, that's how crazy they were 😭 i can't even narrate those dreams, they were so confusing and wild.
Moving the continent of my blanket over the mountains of my bed with a pounding headache and 41°C fever is a vibe. Not a good one but a vibe nonetheless
Yeah it took me a long time to realize that they meant fever dreams literally cause i very rarely have dreams when im sick, and even then theyre not any crazier than my normal nonsick dreams, my normal dreams are already batshit
I got food poisoning a while back. I had dreams with no pictures or sound. Things were happening, and I could understand that the ideas existed, but I couldn't recall picture or sound. I was chasing a horse in one of them, I needed to get it back to where it belonged but it kept going in a big circle around it. I couldn't see or hear anything, it was just the idea of the events in my head. It was wild. The next day my mother came by to visit because she felt something was more wrong than I had expressed over text. She took one look at me and asked how the hell I was standing let alone talking or walking down the stairs. Apparently I was so dehydrated and had such a high fever that weird dreams were the least of the concern 😆But I was so delusional in that state I truly believed I was just a little dizzy and it was nothing to worry about
When I was younger, I didn't even know women put pads in their underwear. I thought what they did was put them on their vagina for a few minutes in the bathroom or whatever.
@@esppupsnkits4560 Or even to itself if it has wings. Kinda like with packing tape, it sticks more to itself than to what you want to stick it on. I also notice the wings on pads not sticking well to certain material, like microfiber, it comes off and sticks to itself, the underside of the pad, or our legs.
5:00 that's almost exactly how my dad found out he was allergic to A LOT of foods. I was a baby and my mom and dad took my to a restraunt. They got me cantaloupe and I ate it and began crying. My dad said "Oh she's probably crying because of the itching." My mom asked him about "the itching." Found out about 2 allergies that day
When I was 7 i went to a nascar race. My favorite driver Bobby labontw was fighting for a win. I was so happy that I was going to see my favorite driver win and my first cup race. Rusty Wallace ended up winning on a late race pass. I was crying cuz I was so excited so my parents told me Bobby let Rusty win cuz Rusty was retiring that year. Flash foward 17 years I bring it up to my parents saying Bobby was such a great person for letting Rusty win. My parents looked at each other and my dad then said chuckling that he lied about that ti make me stop crying. My whole life I had been telling people Bobby let Rusty win.
Interestingly Bobby Labonte was my favorite driver when I watched NASCAR with my dad back in the day ... Pretty sure I even remember his car going up in flames at Chicagoland when I still lived around there sometime in the early 2000
when i was a kid i used to hear a song on the radio called "say what you need to say" all the time and assumed the lyric was "sandwich you need to say"
My wife, who is almost 30, found out just this year that Alzheimer’s is a real condition with a name and not just elderly people with memory issues referred to in some kind of slang term called old-timers
Fun Fact it's named that because the doctor to first describe it was Alois Alzheimer. He described a patient with all the symptoms in 1902. The medical community named the condition after him. People jokingly call it Old-timers as I think a play on words of the condition's name. It can happen at any age, though, but is most common in the elderly.
This one had me confused for ages too. For years I assumed it meant something like a smoothie or milkshake since they were "softer" than ice cream or soft-serve.
I was today years old when I found out, that it is soft drinks, because it is not a "hard" drink. (in my defense, in my country soft drink only means drinks like fizzy drinks or sweetend drinks.
You could have Oral Allergy syndrome. Things like that is what tipped me off. Do you also get tingling feelings for fruits such as Oranges or sometimes Bananas?
I thought people went to church in their Sunday Vest... I was worried that I didn't have any vests, so I would go to church and pray for forgiveness for not wearing a vest over my dress. My mom couldn't figure out why I always wanted to get sweater vests, but she never bought me one.
Well tell him at this point they're going to remain a country but Germany, Sweden, UK and others whom host refugees will lose it's identity completely!
I still thought the USSR/Eastern Bloc was around until I was I was 8 or 9 (so this would be 1997-1998). I figure this was due to having an old encyclopedia set, 80's movies on VHS, and no internet. I didn't know until Enterntainment Tonight was on and they had a "On this day in 1991, the Soviet flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time" blerb.
But you realise that, nowadays it's usually said in jest, because we all know that when we hear "asking for a friend", it's a lie. So if someone says "How do you treat this really embarrassing problem. (asking for a friend)", it's the one asking that's actually got the embarrassing problem. That friend doesn't exist.
I didn't know the N word was an insult till I was 35 years old. I thought it was the name of a country in Africa. In my defense, Niger is a country in Africa and it's almost spelled the same. And the people who live there are black so naturally I just thought it was a reference to their nationality.
When I was in kindergarten, we all almost died on a school field trip. The bus was driving up a slope, when we suddenly started falling backwards really fast and slamming into a bunch of tree branches on the way down. Everyone in the bus was laughing and cheering as we were jostled around. When the bus finally stopped moving we were all clapping and saying for the driver to do it again. I remember thinking it was one of the funnest experiences ever. The bus parked on the side of the road as the driver called the field trip organizers, and we had a different bus pick us up and take us to the campsite we were supposed to be meeting at. My friend was on another bus, so when I met with her, I told her that our bus driver was so cool that he even drove backwards and that it felt like a rollercoaster. She said that didn't happen on her bus, and was jealous. For years afterwards I would tell the story of the incident, I even told my parents when I got home but they figured it was my overactive imagination. One day as I was retelling it in high school, I suddenly had the terrifying realization that our driver didn't do that on purpose. We actually slipped backwards and were plummeting down a hill off the road and hitting various tree branches for several seconds before the bus stopped, and was able to pull over on the side of a road so we could get picked up by another bus. This incident was apparently never reported officially by our school to the parents. I'm honestly pretty surprised that other students didn't tell their parents about it - unless it was all the same situation as me, where I told them with what limited vocabulary I had, and they didn't believe me. I'm so glad we were okay, dang.
When I was a kid I honestly believed that in Pete’s Dragon the (1977) movie, Dr. Terminus healed the hearing of an elderly lady with his medical inventions. It always made me happy to know that the old lady got her hearing back. Wasn’t till re-watching years later that I realized that the elderly lady was just his assistant dressed up to fool the townsfolk into buying his partner’s product. It made me mad when I realized this
When I was a kid my father had a market stall down Petticote Lane. There was another guy in the market that used to play 3 card monte. Every Saturday, I'd go down the market with my father and this guy would allow me to play for a bacon sandwich. Every single time I'd find the right card so win the bacon sandwich. I was really proud of my great powers of observation. It didn't occur to me until years later that I was being used as a stooge. I still love a good bacon sandwich though.
I have a special needs child. When she was growing up I would quite often help her/watch her get on the diminutive transport which took her to school every day. It was only in her adult years, long after schooling was over, when I realized what the insult "You rode to school on the short bus" means.
I lived in a contained area that was quite far from school. They sent a "short bus" because there were so few of us. For the longest time I thought the term was used for people living in the boonies. One other thing is the area grew and the bus became packed until one night all of us kids flooded one of the first talk shows ever on radio in Austin, TX commenting on the situation.The short bus was gone two days later.
Ok so you saying this just made me realize this! I did ride the Short bus and never understood the reaction people would have when I would reply that yes I did that makes so much more sense
True. There's the literal term "dead" and then there's "medically-declared dead", doesn't happen often, but there have been cases where a patient's heart restarts itself. Fun fact: While someone may be medically-declared "dead" from a heart failure, the brain itself actually continues to restart it.
I finally realized that Limu is just a combination of Liberty and Mutual. Then I told my mom, who told my sister. I don’t know how it took me so long to realize that.
The "bust a nut" thread killed me Once you hear a tornado it really does hit (pun not intended but realized after I typed "hit") what they mean by freight train. Cigarette is just lady cigar
@@cl-jp3uv cigarettes are the small cylindrical tubes that you see most people smoke. Cigars are the big brown pill-like thing that Fidel Castro smokes
True story from where a friend of mine lived, there was a local dog that had a name that sounded a lot like "Help". They lived near woods in a rural location and I guess the dog must have been quite free. It even once made the local news that the police had been appealing for information after someone was apparently heard in the woods shouting "Help".
In 6th grade, I heard the term "Blow Job", and thought it had something to do with air. There was a big hill on my way to school, and I got going really fast one day, and the wind was at my back, so i was going extra fast. I had to go to Middle School before anyone forgot about my story where I got a blow job on my bike on the way to school.
I realized at around 20 that the reason things are the way they are because someone made a choice years and years ago. I always thought everything was specifically designed to be exactly a certain way, but it really isn’t all that complex. Everything is pretty much some arbitrarily chosen thing (like the size of a meter or days in a month) and we’ve just all kept going along with it. February could’ve had 31 days and been called something entirely different because the name and day count is so completely arbitrarily chosen
@@lastsanitystreak8443My thoughts exactly. Napoleon told his scientists to come up with a better measurement system based on science that could be used universally. A meter is exactly 1/10.000.000 of the distance between the North Pole and the equator. And "the" kilogram is being kept in Paris.
I recall a question on a quiz show where the contestants had to guess "which one of these names is just made up" One of the contestants then objected pointing out "ALL names are made up?". They had to abandon the question. (it turned out that the examples given were famous peoples names with one that had just been "made up")
I wouldn't really say everything is arbitrary. I mean at a very basic level you're right. But there are a lot of why's as to why someone may have decided something.
25:17 - Speaking of drying off, I didn't realize until I moved out that you can just dry off in the shower after turning the water off instead of stepping out to dry off and dripping water all over the floor. My bathroom mat stays nice and dry now.
I figured this out one day when I thought about how much I hate the open air when I get out of the shower because it feels cold so I started drying off in the shower with the curtain still closed.
My husband and I are in our early 60s. Recently he was shocked to see that to enter I open the shower curtain on the end with the faucet. "I open the curtain at the other end so I don't get water everywhere from the shower." I said "I don't turn the shower on until I'm in and the curtain is closed." He said "oh I never thought of that". 😂
12:33 When I was 16, I thought a friend with benefits was a friend who showed a bit more affection than other friends, such as hugging a lot, holding hands, etc. In one of my classes in high school, I told a girl that she was my friend with benefits. That was just super awkward when I found out the real meaning.
I thought friends with benefits was people who are friends that are both on government benefits. Like money from the government to live such as food stamps or counsel houses.
That no one anywhere actually knows what the heck they are doing. The world is equally confusing for everyone, and there is no “authority” that actually has all the answers. Anyone who thinks they do just has different problems to deal with. The fact that “society” functions at all is staggering.
That is what I sleep with, Cryo Chamber stream, soothing. But yeah, no one has the manual at birth. It's easy to forget people aren't really what you see and hear at first.
True. People are complex, way more than most want to accept. We try to simplify others and put them and ourselves and the world into boxes / categories and dismiss the depth that is unique to every individual.... the man who insults you today may save your life tomorrow because deep down they actually care deeply but dont know how to express it. The one who doubts you and looks down on you may turn out to be the one who defends you the fiercest down the road. We can never know and should never write off or dismiss prople. Some of the greatest of men and women in history in one area or another have commited what some may view as atrocities In others @WinkLinkletter
Albus Dumbledore is gay. Never had a clue, until my gf was like "yeah he's gay." If I had thought for more than a second it would have been obvious, he mentioned how he and Grindelwald were "closer than brothers." If I had just said to myself "hmm what's closer than a brother??" I would've known.
Never help anybody, even if the person asks for it. You can be sued, or at least hated for doing it wrong. If someone asks you for help. Just say, "No thank you." If someone is in dire need of help, call emergency services if a telephone is close at hand. Do no more. Your life may depend on it.
That the mailman who brought me my Nintendo 3Ds got mixed up with another address was supposed to bring me a Nintendo 2Ds, And I just got a free 3Ds. It took me years to realize that my dad lied to me about that and just bought me a 3Ds.
As someone who has suffered from gender dysphoria (anyone considering negative comments can move along and not bother posting) for years, I only just realized that dysphoria was just the opposite of euphoria, much like how a dystopia is the complete opposite of a utopia.
In in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sokka started acting weird and hallucinating on cactus juice because the cactus had mescaline (peyote) in it. I also thought that all cactuses would do that if you ate them irl, so if you were stranded in the desert, you should never eat cactus flesh. Nope, just a specific cactus make you hallucinate! It took me until I was 22 to realize this.
To be fair, you really shouldn't consume random succulents unless you know exactly what you're getting into (and that "what you're getting into" isn't a mouthful of toxic latex).
The French expression equivalent for "have your cake and eat it too" exists in two versions. There's the more common one "you can't keep the butter and the money for the butter". And there's a rude version for when someone is completely exaggerating : "this guy wants the butter, the money for the butter, and the creamlady's ass".
5:26 That's an understandable mistake, since the saying is "You can't eat your cake and have it too". "To have" is an acceptable synonym for the verb "to eat", the out-of-order use can case confusion via perceived redundancy. Using the verb "to eat" FIRST eliminates the redundancy and makes the verb "to have" clear to NOT a synonym in this case. That's a complicated why of saying "In English, using "to have" first makes the sentence ambiguous."
Also the whole "let them eat cake" thing is totally benign and very reasonable, if you actually look into French history and that bakeries also make brioche. It wasn't "let them eat cake" in a condescending fashion, it was ""if there isn't any real bread due to war and shortages then brioche is available".
@@terryscott524 Because linguists wouldn't have an interest it the rules of a language? But seriously though, you ever read Ted's manifesto? He had some good points. The way he went about it was wrong (objectively wrong. Hurting people is wrong. Which is why I don't believe in the death penalty. It's just institutionalized revenge).
@@occamsrazor1285 Sorry, just the way you said it just instantly reminded me of how he was caught. Yes, I have read the entire manifesto in one sitting because it was captivating. I don't necessarily agree with it. Pre-industrial revolution life fulfillment is difficult to assess objectively, and because of this it is difficult to view the manifesto as anything more than a myopic romanticization. Just my two cents.
@@terryscott524 Def a good point. Basically a "grass is always greener" argument (which, at least in my experiences, has proven to be true consistently). But as someone that's been in IT for 20 years and IT engineering for 10, he has a good point about "technology ruling us."
I also thought narwhals were imaginary until university. In my defence i think i’d only seen them in animated Christmas movies with elves and flying reindeer up until that point so it seemed logical that they weren’t real
I always thought voluptuous was pronounced vaLUMPtuous because it meant someone was curvy. I got into an argument with my friend about it when I was like 25.
i thought driving with an interior light on was illegal until a couple years ago (i’m 30 now.) turns out my parents just told us it was illegal so we wouldn’t play with the lights as a kid.😊
I've seen this comment alot lately ("I used to think this was illegal") without the *why* part ("because our parents told us it was"). I had been confused by it. Mine simply told us that you can't see out the wildscreen properly when it's light inside.
My jerk mother used to tell us the smell of manure as we were driving through the countryside was good for us and to breathe it in. My brother and I would sit there in three back seat making ourselves dizzy by breathing so deep, trying to 'clear our lungs'!! I did this and believed it until I was a married woman and tried to advise my husband of the health benefits of inhaling liquid fertilizer fumes!!
*that car dealerships don't actually sell cars, they sell **_loans;_** the car is just an add-on* If it weren't for the monthly payments having suddenly stopped following a towing, nor having read the subtext of a convo the other day about loans in general, I'd probably would have never had the full clarity I did on that matter, even when I have had understood the above quote, but as _debt_ instead of _loan_ (ie. "of course it's debt, that's why we pay monthly... wait, it really _wasn't_ about the car after all?!"). For the most part, I'm relieved that I finally understood it, but the mathematical juggernaut in me, well let's see how he takes it: - never having fully understood how credit cards/student loans/anything related to large finances had worked up until only a few years ago and not knowing why other than jargon obfuscation (personal conspiracy theory, another story) - has trouble growing personal wealth despite having worked jobs for at least four years, budgeting meticulously, and living frugally - feared loans up until recently because of the above two points - trauma from car-related stuff (unexpected expenses, traffic jams/commutes, bs traffic tickets) yep, math-brain is seething, boiling pissed, from having realized that I _was_ paying a (car) _loan_ all along rather than the car _itself,_ and to me that meant this whole time I could've otherwise simply taken out a smaller personal loan and would have made far better use of that money. Give a math whiz a loan and they'll budget to move a mountain. Car dealerships, and the entire auto-industry at large, can go rot in hell.
I worked at a US Navy Base as a civilian office worker. Our job was to prepare service records to transfer to the sailor's next service station. One day a co-worker, who is known for not being the sharpest tool in the shed, looked up and said "Wait, there are two Washingtons?" Yes, she was a 25-year-old professional working for the United States Government that didn't know that there was a difference between Washington State and Washington D. C., the Capitol, ... Worse, at the time sailors could still be stationed on the USS George Washington... She had been working for that office for two years before it occurred to her to ask. -_-
My 24 year old friend didn’t know she was allergic to walnuts. I mailed her some homemade banana nut muffins. That’s how she learned she was allergic. At least she was able to enjoy the blueberry, strawberry, and chocolate chip ones
is it just me that finds it weird that people got told their dead pets went to live on a farm rather than just saying they died? just me that never got lied to
My parents were honests too and it's good to be able to bury and mourn a beloved pet. Rather than harassing my grieving parents with wanting updates on the cat, and when are we going to see him? I guess we are the lucky one
17:21 I don't look at the sun, I just usually have a good idea of where I am on a map. If you use GPS a lot, you kinda just use the direction of streets to orient yourself. I know the street I live on runs North to South, and I guess as I move around I sort of keep track? It wasn't until way later in life I realized that shadows will point West in the morning and East in the afternoon.
A former fwb was like "I'm glad I decided to go along and be your distraction" it took me 2 months to question that. My ex best friend and my ex boyfriend were friends. He asked her to find a guy to distract me so he didn't have to break up with me. It took 12 years for all of this to come to light. I've known for 2 months. I now question every person who has ever complimented, flirted, been in any kind of relationship or friendship with me and I cut off the fwb and bff. My therapist says that's a them problem but like...how awful must everyone around me think I am that they would be willing to do that to me?
@@jrseitz21 From what I understood, her boyfriend wanted to leave her, but didn't wanted to confront her about it; so he baited her into cheating (with the help of her best friend, apparently), and she took the bait. But still, she's the victim.
@n /a lol. Ok so typical not my fault you made me cheat 😏 my ex wife years ago said something similar. 😒 except she used me and our daughter was holding her back from being "free" ......and we won't bring up who's fault it was for not taking their birth control as prescribed 🤦♂️😐
The characters Brock and Misty in Pokemon were called that because they have rock and water type pokemon. Also Ash and Oak are both named after trees. I didn't realise that until I had been playing the games for quite a while.
I only realized it's called a "laptop" because it's a computer you can use on the top of your lap (as opposed to pcs) I only thought these when I was a kid so idk if they count but I'll still mention them because I think they're funny: 1) getting fired from a job means you no longer work there, not that your employer literally sets you on fire, and 2) teachers get tenure after less than 10 years because it's a whole different word than "ten year"
"Get/given the sack" = Workers used to have to bring the tools of their trade with them to work, and the tools would be kept by the employer for the duration of the work. If they were ever dismissed, they'd be given back their tools, in a sack.
The movie "Jacobs ladder" is really about a man going from hell to heaven. Old Testament the ladder reaching up to heaven that Jacob saw in a dream. In the movie Jacob has these scary dreams. Also with the exorcist movie the windows are open because the demon that possessed Linda Blair is the demon of wind. So that is why the flight her mom planed was cancelled.
I never understood the phrase "you and what army" until I was around 20 and saw a Simpsons episode with an actual army behind someone when they said it. I thought it was "you and what are me" and never understood what the hell that meant
A lot of my friends on discord were never told "would of" is actually written "would've". I guess people thought it was a typo or didn't want to look like grammar nazis.
@@erinspence91 Same thing with "should've" and "could've." I knew someone who aspired to be a newspaper reporter who was never taught this. Contractions are shockingly misused.

23:25 I realized my parents are in a polyamory’s relationship in December, six months after the 3rd parent moved in. They still haven’t told me and my sibling.
Polyamorous. I'm not trying to belittle you but since this is all about things we didn't know, I thought it'd be appropriate. Also, unless you're seeing some obvious signs of "crossed lines" I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.
For the pipe cleaner one, recently, in class, we had an activity where we were using pipe cleaners, our teacher was talking to us, and wondering why they were called pipe cleaners. Then my one smart but annoying friend chimes in and says they were originally used to clean pipes. I didn't believe her, so she searched it up and showed me and... yeah. That happened.
It took me until around a year ago to realize that the first digit of apartment/hotel-room numbers represents the floor the apartment/room is on. I'm 23 and a straight A university student and I've lived in apartments pretty much my whole life, I have absolutely no excuse for why it took me so long to learn that. For some reason I always assumed there were more than 3000 apartments in my apartment complex, idk why it never occurred to me that there literally isn't enough space in my complex for 3000 apartments until after I learned that. You know what there IS enough room for? Three floors.
You would be shocked at how many grown adults still dont know this. Ive met SEVERAL. 2. Reminds me of the time that i had an issue at my apartment. I called the front desk to explain and the worker asked my apt #., which was 4XXX W. So i told her, "Yeah, its 4XXX West" She said , "WEST??! Oh wait! Is that what the W stands for?!?! I thought it was just a random letter that they added to the apartments." ....bruh.
I was in a similar situation when I was a student. Our halls had rooms called G12, F31, S25, T07, & it took a few weeks or months to figure out it was Ground, First, Second, Third floors!!!
Pay per view - it took me fucking ages to learn it's not "Paper view" - which I believed was an American euphemism for a paperback book but in movie form, ie. a little raunchy and a bit a cheap.

OK, BUT!! We had a turtle and we genuinely thought it had run away. Turns out they hibernate and it had dug down into the ground and went to fucking hibernate!! Also I see tortoises walking down our street quite often here for some reason. Someone is always posting on FB "hey, if you see a tortoise walking around it's mine". One time we had 3 people post that in one day.(in our neighborhood FB group). And people in our neighborhood actually found them. Like, keep your fucking tortoise on a leash or something. Fucking tortoises walking around the city. Right next to a busy street. What; do you want to make tortoise soup but don't want to kill it yourself. Just go get run over franklin. geez!!
My late wife's stepfather didn't send her brother's rabbit _to a farm,_ but he did put it in the stew! I have to admit that, even at 71, there are words I've only seen in print, so the proper pronunciation can be just my best guess.
The internet is awesome for that problem. Just Google your word along with "pronunciation". You will have several options of sites to choose from. I also have a dictionary app on my phone that includes a pronunciation feature.
Me and my wife met a couple at a bar and had a good time drinking with them. They bought me a beer and her a shot. After the bar closed they invited us back to their place for more drinks. "COOL, MORE BEER" I thought as I agreed. She said yes but then when we got in the car she said "go home now, we aren't going there." I was so confused until she explained the next day that that couple was trying to fuck us. I had no idea lol.
