used to live in a college town and an ice cream truck owner decided to start rolling around friday and saturday night... he got a lot of drunken business

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My exact thought. Ice cream truck at the bars around 2am? Fucking killing.

[–] PacMan@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

He got any burritos in that truck?

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Bet you he was selling weed too

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

That's probably why there's an ice cream truck around me even during the winter. I'd want to confirm first otherwise it would be a rather awkward interaction.

Look, 3am is the only time I get to work on my garden.

“What are you doing?!?”

“I'm burying you”

“ I'm alive Brennan, I'm alive!”

“You're waking the neighbors! Shut up!”

Full sunlight filling the sky. Unless you're in the far north or far south this would be very concerning.

Turns out you slept way too long and your clock stopped at 3 .

That's always terrifying

I dread calls at work more than anything in life.

Just send a fucking email.

You know, in most areas it's illegal to mow your lawn at night, but that's just due to noise regulations. If you have a smaller yard, consider mowing your lawn with a scythe at 2 in the morning. You can even wear a black robe if you want. There's no law that says you can't wear a dark flowing robe and cut your grass with a scythe at 2 in the morning.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The ice cream trucks around here switched to playing pop songs :/

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That seems like a poor choice.

[–] spicystraw@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

My dog can sometimes space out and stare at nothing during the day. I would shit my pants if that happend at night.

You might want to mention this to your vet if you haven't already. It's probably nothing, but just in case there's an underlying health problem causing this.

[–] spicystraw@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's going to be served by a white faced clown holding a red balloon.

Okay, now I want 3am ice cream trucks to be a thing. Also 3 am taco trucks.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Last time I went to NYC I saw both 3am ice cream trucks, taco trucks, and other full on food trucks. It was wild.

Had the ice cream truck roll through at like 10:15PM the other night and yeah it was weird.

Looking into my two year old bed and seeing that he's staring at me, awake but without a word.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Bro there was an ice cream truck driving around at 11pm last night and I can confirm it was creepy.

[–] coldasblues@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Bro! Anyone from Omaha? I remember hearing that ice cream truck in the LATE hours of the night when I lived in the Benson area.
