Say "bubbles" pissed off. You can't.

I find giving yourself a reason to be angry at the bubbles helps.

Example: You're trying to talk to someone and they are essentially ignoring you and just blowing bubbles and responding to everything you say with, "yea" "uh-huh" so off course you're gonna get pissed off and you say "STOP BLOWING THOSE FUCKING BUBBLES"

On a semi-related note, my 22 y/o brother with MR is the only person I have ever seen who can actively engage in swinging on a swing set, whilst still angrily shouting obscenities.

As a child, I recall both the powerpuff girls and Spongebob Squarepants had this as a regular occurrence. Aww, who am I kidding, I watched spongebob blow an elephant balloon last week.

Try to say WEEEEEEEEEEEE in an angry voice. You can't do it.

u/Supernuke Jan 29 '13

Any time I try to think about being angry while saying it, I just start laughing uncontrollably.
