      Once I was going out with someone, and her step dad had hearing problems and slurred speech.
      When I introduced myself to him, he misheard my name as ‘t-rex’ yet when he repeated it, I thought he was saying my name.

      This went on for two years, until finally in conversation he mentioned that my name is t rex, which led to the hilarious realisation and correction.
      Apparently he didn’t question it because he thought that’s a young person thing and left it at that haha. Fair enough.

      Also I’m skeptical of the claim of a plastic bag breaking down in 10-20 years.

        Yeah that seems wrong. And what does it break down into? Microplastics?
