good on them and their sense of adventure. good on them for enjoying themselves. more people should take harmless chances on seeing something cool. also good on her family for enjoying the ride and not shutting her down with “but, mom…”

add to that, instead of feeling ashamed or dumb she was like here’s this funny thing that happened

we need more people like that

I’m with you. This was one of the more interesting things I’ve on TikTok. Her reaction was perfect.

At one point there actually was a Subway in the NYC subway.

Yo! Dawg! I heard you like Subways!

Back on topic: this was probably the most wholesome story I’ve read today.
Woman falls for a prank, laughs it off, etc.
No one got killed, or hauled off to the pokey, yadda yadda.
Damn, that’s a low bar.

they were already on a road trip, they live in the very unsnowy florida, and someone saw a post on tiktok that caused them to drive a whole hour - gasp - out of their way

good on them and their sense of adventure.

One thing I’ve never regretted is driving around that part of NC… it’s lovely there…

Who run Gas Town?
