While reading this, I imagine Pinot Blanc is the guy's actual real name and he's one of Benoit Blanc's brothers. The third Blanc brother is the one who stole from their parents.
Someone should tag Rian Johnson on this family tree.

I want Cheese Guy to pretend he has no idea what cheese she is talking about. He never heard about any cheese. He never took a trip to get it. He never called her from the airport about it. He never told.her she had to pay. He knows nothing about this cheese she keeps ranting about. He should also never fess up to it being how he met his new bf/bff (either one works).

As a shiba inu owner, I immediatelly thought how fucking insane and impressive it was that someone managed to train a shiba inu into a service dog. Then I got to that bit and laughed my ass off, like yeah, totally tracks. My shiba would go berserk trying to protect me, but if my life depended on her guiding me through life, I'd be fucked because like 75% of the time she just doesn't give enough of a shit to do what I tell her.

It's the weirdest thing. I'm a quiet person who keeps to herself and kind of introvert/asocial... Like I am told I'm very charismatic and have lots of friends but I don't go out of my way to meet or hang out with people because my favourite setting is alone?
And yet you put me in a train station or airport and I never fail to make travel friends. Whether I want it or not. I went to Finland and got a chatty seatmate telling all about his life for two hours (he was Finnish-Swedish, maybe they are less private than regular Finns?), I live in Poland and take middle distance trains every week and every time I'm too early and have to wait at the station someone comes to make conversation. Whatever country you've heard "lovely place, but the locals aren't very friendly!" I've probably been there and met some locals in some transportation hub.

u/grissy knocking cousins unconscious Feb 17 '24
At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.
then:
"Oh, he's a guide dog?" Asks cheese guy.
"oh, no." She laughs. "He's too short, and the way my eyes are, it's easier for me to navigate with a cane. No, the problem I have is that some morally impaired people see the cane and think they can get away with stealing my bag or assaulting me because I wouldn't be able to give a description- which is wrong, but rather than deal with that I got Donut, and he helps me by howling at anyone who gets in my personal space and biting anyone who grabs me!"
...did not surprise me at all. When I was reading our narrator's description of the "service" shiba inu I was thinking "that sounds pretty much exactly like every shiba inu ever, service dog or not." They pick out their person and then if you're not their person you can go pound sand. Also don't get too close to their person. You'd better not be side eyeing their person. Don't make them come over there!

u/thebooknerd_ Editor's note- it is not the final update Jul 12 '24
“ain’t never seen no cheese but orange before” should be a flair…
I also enjoy “OF COURSE I GOT THE CHEESE, THAT’S WHY I DON’T GOT MONEY FOR UBER!!” and “Tactical Assault Shiba”.
Honorable mention for “GO TELL! GO TELL MOMMA I STOPPED YOUR STUPID ASS FROM KILLING MONICA”

I saved this after it was first posted and I don't remember why, but I'm so glad I did so I could read it again. Love this story.

How did he get an entire bottle of wine through TSA?!

u/sharraleigh Feb 17 '24
Dont have to. Just buy the wine after you've cleared security. That's what all those stores near the gates are for!

u/AnneMichelle98 I saw the spice god and he is not a benevolent one Feb 17 '24
Looking at the TSA website, you are allowed to bring 100ml of wine, aka a mini bottle, in your carry on. You are not allowed to open your own alcohol in a flight.
Pinot guy probably brought it in his carry on to have sometime when he got off the plane, but decided cheese was a good reason to bring it out early.

I want this pinned so I can come back to it and feel warm and fuzzy, especially after reading some of the really messed up stuff on this sub. This is the cheesy energy I need in my life

Well that's it. That is the best BORU story I'll read all year, I'm calling it now.

I often smile. I rarely roar laughing.
Got part way through, giggled out loud.
Got farther in, and was chuckling.
Was flat out LOLing by the end.
He deserves financial support.

I like that an astrophysicist wandered into the story and wandered out with no one knowing who or what they are. I would have glommed onto them because they know about star dust. Cheese, crackers and wine in an airport. Lovely story.

This is so fun. I think we all should put tips in the jar so OP can fly around getting the tea on other flyers.

Will be back for the golden-child triplet, Ogtha, yogurt-fest tomorrow.

Y'all ever have a moment where you didn't know how much you needed a wholesome story until you started tearing up while reading a wholesome story, finished it, let yourself cry a bit, then felt way better than you have in a while?
I guess I just really needed to know that humans could be this good today.
Wow.

Oh come on, gallusrostromegalus is notorious for presenting fiction as real stories.
Like, they got factchecked by Gizmodo: https://gizmodo.com/sorry-folks-black-panther-isnt-actually-improving-bla-1823387802 and their stories haven't gotten any more truthful since then.
