Having found himself without others to interact with at a house party Wednesday, guest Ben Weaver reportedly attempted to enter a conversation by spending a few minutes just smiling and nodding at the edge of a circle of people. “Uh-huh,” said Weaver after gently nudging himself into a small gap between two members of the group and patiently making eye contact with each person who spoke in hopes of being drawn into the discussion.
Rushing to wash a sink full of dishes and tidy the kitchen before her phone alarm went off, local woman Abby Hartz reportedly set a timer on Wednesday to make cleaning much more stressful. “I just like adding a layer of panic to the stress of doing a bunch of chores I hate,” said Hartz, noting that she prefers to break a long cleaning session into 15-minute chunks so that she can fail repeatedly instead of just once.
