some of us have been in the petz community for so long that it is near impossible not to have some incredibly funny stories to tell. a while ago, i created a thread over at whiskerwick to share such stories with each other. i liked the idea so much, i thought it would be nice to create a similar page here on freefall. if you'd like to share some of the funny, weird, or embarrassing things that have happened to you over the years, please email them to freefallpetz@gmail.com.

funny stories:

for the longest time i didn't know what pol / pick of the litter really meant and was convinced it was which picture of the litter the site owner liked best. for years i browsed websites and was absolutely affronted at everyone's choices. how often i was staring at the screen like "that picture is not even remotely funny".

when i posted my first ever calico mixie litter over on pcg, someone asked me whether the kittens were inbred-free. i had no idea what they meant, so i was like "of course. i would never breed a brother and a sister together, that's disgusting". i sent the kitten over, they replied in the adoption thread with a screenshot that said the kittens were 99,99% inbred. i didn't log back in for weeks.

a couple of days after publishing my very embarrassing frontpage-made website for the very first time, i gathered up all of my courage and sent an email to a Very Important Member of the community to ask whether they wanted to be sister sites. they were like "lol i don't even know you" and not to be overdramatic but that scarred me for life.
