The thing they don't tell you about showing up to vote is that there often *are* sexy singles in your area.
Ok, so less a shower thought and more a "random observation while standing in line to vote" thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I'll count it.

Getting hit on at the polls is a great way to make voting even more uncomfortable.
Best to stick to polite chit chat, and otherwise avoid bothering people when they're voting.
Seems to me that if you're canny about your polite chitchat while standing in line, you could segue to "you wanna get a drink sometime?" after you both come out of the polling place.
Which leads me to remind the ladies, just because he was all supportive of women's bodily autonomy in line, doesn't mean you can be sure how he actually voted in the booth!
Which is why so many women hate talking to men they don't know: there's so often that request for a date after even the most innocuous small talk.
Yes I guess that's true, and it doesn't even help if he'd be chill about accepting a "no thanks," because she can't know that in advance, and so many guys aren't. I guess there's always the possibility of running into each other in a bar or similar situation where they could assume meeting someone might be a goal of being there. "Didn't I meet you when we were both voting for Harris?" would be a change from the usual lines.
The women in my life also say that it depends a bit on where. For instance, most just don't want to be hit on at the gym.
It's like trying to find an SO at a comic convention. Just enjoy the show and be happy you've found like-minded nerds.
"I hate these polling places, they're such meat markets."
This may be the most brilliant get-out-the-vote tactic I've ever seen.
Nah, cause the hot girls won't care about republicans.
Wait a second...
Lol, thanks. Kinda wish I'd have thought of it sooner and made some kind of graphic based on those old ads.
So, uh, vote here often?
"Every 2 years.....you?"
You really know how to work the polls
Anything to get out to vote. Made me laugh. Good day for it.
Same reason I go to the dentist. Dental hygienists are hot as hell.
Edit:
Why is that?
They like oral
Yeah. But they’re spitters.
Personal preference. I guess I'm just into scrubs and latex in my mouth 🤷🏻♂️
Did you floss for me big daddy?
2 weird things: don't remember deleting my comment, and I didn't know there were cameras in that office.
No... I'm a bad boy.
(With cavities)
I thought the punchline was going to be "to get drilled".
Punchline requires joke, lol
Okay, they thought the joke would be “get drilled”
I get that; I just wasn't joking
I used to have a roommate who was in dental school. He said getting dates was incredibly easy because everybody realized it was the last time they would be in a large community of single people their age who were also intelligent and had similar interests and earning potential. And indeed, he went out with probably 20 different women that year. And he was incredibly picky and would write them off after one date - she's too loud, too quiet, doesn't drink, drinks too much, swears too much, smokes... Right at the end of the year he found the one, then had to go off and spend 2 years doing public health dentistry in another state to pay for his school loan. After 2 months he found another the one there and dumped the local one. So okay, I'm sure that gripping saga was worth telling lol.
Hm. Hm. Mhm. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that all dental hygienists are whores?
Mine never shut up. Why was my appointment booking an hour?
That's part of it for me. I love listening to idle chatter while my teeth get worked over with implements. And nitrile on gums is better than a deep tissue massage.
Any single dental hygienists near BGKY hmu please
Mine want a two way conversation. And I have stuff to do.
Just go
"Guh. Uh-huh. Mumblemumblemumble"
Just got back from voting and I was looking for an opportunity to mention how attractive the lady that checked me in was.
was she checking you out, too?
Sadly, no.
Was she under 70?
They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours
Turn voting into speed dating
Super Earth calls for our aid
........but wash your pitts first.
Okay I've been voting by mail for years, but if I ever have to go to the actual polls again I want to walk up to somebody working there and say, "We've been trying to get in touch with you about your extended warranty."
Clearly no moderation in showerthoughts.
What rule(s) did OP break?
3
Oh, there's a new rule?
I don't think this is a political post, though. OP is not using this post to endorse a candidate or policy.
Alright then rule 1 by OPs own admission
If you take the community summary above the rules to be the definition of a showerthought, and if you count "standing in line" as an everyday activity (since it was during the standing in line, not the voting, when OP had the thought), I'd say it's not breaking rule 1 either.
Lets continue to talk about this
We can't keep everyone happy. I'll agree that this post gave me pause. I think it's better to error on the side of leaving things up.
Please report the post if you think it violates rules, and please specify which rules and why.
This seems pretty mondaine from a content perspective. It is a shower thought after all.
Yeah maybe. I just dont think ive seen a regular shower thought post when browsing everything. Seems to often be appropriated by politics, but could be confirmation bias.
