walrusman posted:Things that are obnoxious about this story: Not to mention, they were dating for three weeks, and by her own admission had never had a conversation about exclusivity. She assumed exclusivity, which ok, it might be reasonable, but the bottom line is he had no reason to assume that. You were on a 'couple dates' in three weeks. The dude even confesses, his other plans are with another girl, he isn't hiding anything, they are not exclusive. Then she goes full psycho on him after his other date, when he asks if she's like to have another date with him. This is her own story and she comes off clingy and unhinged. She wrote it and she couldn't have put better lies in it then that? At least lie to make her look a little better and less bitter? "Once upon a time, a guy dated me. But, he also dated someone else. She was a skeeze. I win! I also boiled his rabbit in a pot."

What the gently caress even is that?" while he was stopped at the traffic lights. My reply was this.. "At least tomorrow I could wake up and wear normal clothes and dye my hair, you'll always be a plebeian with less braincells than teeth, a department which you also appear to be lacking in." "YEAH WELL AT LEAST-" *lights change, guy roars off laughing at the pink-haired anime girl* Cringe.

I nearly had a STDH moment today when I went to buy a cookie at the mall and found a loud customer berating the cashier at length for someone apparently messing up her order at an earlier date. I, the plucky customer, stood up for the hapless cashier, put this rude person in her place and got her to leave the poor guy alone, all with my rapier wit! By which I mean I called her a jerk and told her to gently caress off when she got in my face for giving her a  look. I could totally spit-shine it up into a NAR post, though.P.S. When I got back to my office I found out the cashier had slipped me an extra cookie, but I did not marry him.

quote:(I have reserved an audio-book at the library and have come in to get it. I am looking at other books, when another customer runs up to me and grabs my reserved books—which still have my name on it—out of my hands.)

Like they get how our society is structured, but they know everything about interpersonal interactions from watching intercepted broadcasts of cartoons and Disney movies so they think 50% of humans act like snobby villainous caricatures.

Plus I'm sure that his four years of high school Spanish taught him how to fluently talk about gift certificates and looking under roller coasters. And Spanish spoken by a native speaker uses exactly the same turns of phrase and idioms as English. Won't even get into the dumb wrapped with a ribbon of racism in the "mister" and "poop head" dialogue he thinks is authentic.

Mammal Sauce posted:What actually happened: Person writing the story put her audiobook down on a table for a moment. Woman approaches, picks it up and inspects it. Our narrator mumbles "that's mine", snatches it back and hurriedly checks the book out while mentally reassuring herself that withdrawing the book in question is proof of her status as a special and gifted teenager and that the other person was a vicious irrational prole harpy for even daring to look at something she saw first. These descriptions are even worse than stdh.

It would be amazing to live in a world like that. Order some drinks at the bar, a villain runs by and takes them from you, Yakkety sax theme plays in the background while you run after them in a corridor with dozens of doors on each side. Then suddenly he is chasing you. You both realize your error, he says: sorry ma'am/mister. And the chase starts again! Finally you have your hard-earned drinks back, but the villain actually put a huge box inside your cocktail glass. The box says TNT! Meanwhile, the bartender takes a big bite of his carrot and says: will you marry me?

Well, they're probably not aliens but if NAR's user base is anything like the people who wrote Troper Tales, this is an otherwise 100% accurate description. quote:(I am a member of a sorority, but I don’t look like the typical “sorority sister,” so I get a lot of double-takes. Normally, the double-take is all that happens. On this day, I’m shopping while wearing one of my letter shirts. I see another girl wearing her letters and it’s the same sorority as mine. I approach her.) Apparently they now have a school themed one so now we can hear stories about how our robotic heroes defeated the snobby villains of college and teen movies.

I have literally never had or have seen a conversation that ended with one person being so embarrassed/angry/flabbergasted that they just turned around and walked off, let alone ran away. What am I doing wrong in my life... Content, here's a masturbatory fantasy of a 30 year old man: (I was at work and I saw two girls from my college I knew as acquaintances, but not as much more than that. I had a crush on one of them as she was really pretty and seemed nice for the most part. I watched as she and her friend approached the register.) My Crush: “No, you’re wrong! I’m telling you, he never said that!” (I assumed they were gossiping about something until I listened a little more to the conversation.) Her Friend: “No, he did! He totally did! We watched it last night, stupid!” My Crush: “Obi-Wan never says, ‘I love you, Anakin’. The line is ‘You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you!’.” Her Friend: “No!” My Crush: *turns to me* “Oh hey [my name]! What’s up?” Me: “Not much. I’m good. And you’re right; Obi-Wan’s line was ‘You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you’.” My Crush: “Oh, my God, thank you!” *turns to her friend* “And you call yourself a Star Wars fan.” (Her friend scowled, but they paid and said goodbye. I watched as they got to the automatic doors. Her friend pretended to use ‘The Force’ on them. Suddenly, my crush jumped in front of her.) My Crush: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” (I walked over and asked her out. We got married a month ago.)

Reddit posted:Gah! Memories! I saved up and took out loans to study abroad in Japan for the summer a few years ago. I got there knowing I would probably go a few days without food and I might not get anything to take home for myself so I could buy friends/family things. I don't know but I guess I got stuck with the group of rich kids. Doctor's daughter, spoiled only child, daddy's girls and mama's boys all around. Those types of kids. Anyways, I have always been dirt poor and was just thrilled to actually be in the country of my dreams since I never in a million years thought it would happen to me. Well, these kids are dragging me out and wondering why I don't eat with them or spend hundreds of dollars on a dress or whatever. One girl had a daily, DAILY budget of $100 and complained that it wasn't enough and how her parents hated her. I was working with about $5 a day. Max. I don't buy myself things if I can buy things for friends/family. I'm just that type of person I guess. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1d2sey/whats_the_kindest_thing_someone_has_ever_done_for/c9md9c9 Long story short, made up story about someone going to Japan on a small budget and spending money on souvenirs and video games, and how their mom saved up to bail them out. Criticism of how much they hate their rich classmates who at the end they enjoy being with. Also, there's a lot of implied, "I'm not like the other girls!" Special Snowflakism. The story continues in the comments about how:

When I was in Switzerland a few years back with my school, everyone hit the Swatch shop to buy a Swatch watch, despite the fact that Swatch is not particularly exclusive or rare. I saw one that I liked, and dropped 75 euros on it. Didn't pay the "tourist tax" though.
