    Assuming this is real, this is probably some shit he used to do when he was a kid, maybe with his parents or older sibling or something, and he still occasionally does it because of nostalgia or habit. Maybe he only just then realized it was weird for an adult to do. I’m really reading a lot into this, but that was my first thought is all

      Honestly, that would be the most plausible explanation and for me at least that indicates a good father-son relationship, as this would be some shit my father would be doing with me when I was a toddler.

      But I also assume that the actual OOP is hand guy and he imagines a potential partner catching him in the act.

      We affectionately call this ‘The CLAW!!!’.

      I had no idea why we did it… but it’s probably because of a wrestler back in the 80s called Baron von Raschke

      I recommend everyone do this to children everywhere. They eat that shit up.

    Anyone who icks over their partner having a little bit of harmless, dumb fun doesn’t deserve their partner IMO

    Nobody is gonna comment how weird it is that she went to his place unannounced and sneaked into his room to spy on him instead of ringing the door bell or calling for him when she enters?

        Absolutely. If you’re dating for 6+ months, you get keys and the expectation not to wake someone when they might be sleeping. Respecting boundaries is sexy as fuck.

        She has a key, they are close and somehow she is doubting the relationship cause she saw him do silly things when he thought he was alone?

          Interestingly, successful relationships require making mistakes, accepting them, and growing. If she hadn’t learned that now, she will.

            Nobody made a mistake here though? She just needs to chill, if the biggest worry she has is how silly her boyfriends can be when alone then she already has the perfect relationship

              Well, she seems to have maybe made a mistake in judging it… …but, that’s natural. It takes time for people to become comfortable with ‘weird’ things. There aren’t as many examples of people being quirky as there are of people being image obsessed, and that’s hard for some people to shake.

              But overall, agreed.

    They should have immediately reached out their hand and run over saying “The hand is coming to get you!”
