It's so bad and good. It's so stupid but I could imagine the guy telling the story and the whole time, the listener is just nodding politely and the troper thinks "This person thinks I'm awesome".

"That kid... is UNREAL. :stonk:" is still the best STDH ever because it's written by someone so delusional that they think their life is an anime.

It's a classic, no doubt, but in my opinion the yardstick fight is of the same caliber.

Relative to the recent talk of fedoras, there are now snapback fedoras. So, y'know, look out for the new sub-level of trendy nice guy hipsters ranting about the friend zone, but this time in snapbacks.

My brother-in-law would do that. But he only drinks Diet Pepsi.

The "Did you just call me a Jew" thing, if it happened, is probably :corsair: humor (there's a scene in the old, old Woody Allen movie Play It Again, Sam where Allen's character is ranting at Tony Roberts about people saying "Jew eat yet?" to him instead of "Did you eat yet?").

I can believe everything about this one, except that the wife didn't apologize for her husband's misplaced and mystifying jokesmithery.

This troper has limited empathic abilities, I mean, yeah, I can read peoples' thoughts to a certain degree and I can even drain energy from my surroundings into myself, but I can also feel peoples' physical pain.

Ashamedly, this troper used this trope once. It was the middle of summer, the year before I entered 9th grade (I think). Anyway, me and a friend were hanging with my crush and her friend. It was really hot and she "fountained" a water bottle (which is when you hold it up so that the water out like a waterfall into your mouth, but never actually touches your lips). After that, she gave it to me and I immediately drank from it in hopes that her lips had touched it even a little bit, whether accidentally or on purpose. Now, almost 2 years later, I still have the water bottle on a shelf above my bed.

This probably happened mostly as decribed, the STDH is that he's ashamed of it.

Arguably, this Troper is probably the youngest of which who suffers from this Trope. This is practically the invisible label that's under the invisible Berserk Button of this 13-year old kid. He broke 33 pencils in his life, and had a good friend break two of those pencils because they were too hard. He even yelled at someone because that guy was the third person who asked if he could be punched for the third time, with a teacher only a mile ahead!

"Hurt Feelings Reports" have been floating around for a long time. I don't know why you find that unbelievable. Here's a high school football coach/guidance counselor who lost his job for sending it to his student players: http://k2radio.com/offensive-survey-leads-to-buffalo-head-coach-resignation/

quote:

The Army says it is working hard to erase the stigma of seeking mental healthcare. It isn’t working at Fort Carson. Adam says he was actively discouraged from looking for help.

“If you have a problem, you are going to be a problem,” he explained. “You don’t ask for help — ever. That is just the Army’s way. Always will be.”

A document obtained from another unit at Fort Carson supports Adam’s description of a culture that discourages “weakness.” Someone in the 3rd Brigade Combat Team prepared a mock official form called a “Hurt Feelings Report,” and left a stack of copies near a sheet where soldiers sign out to see a doctor.

I don't know if this thread has just jaded me or what, but I'm not so sure about this story:

“A close family friend has an autistic boy and this was an anonymous letter slipped under her door. This is real.”



There's some media follow-up in the links. The first portion of the letter sounds plausible, like something someone would actually write, but the second part just dissolves into this weird rambling rant about who is going to marry the kid, etc. I'm just getting weird vibes from it. I guess the fallout with the woman who claimed her son was harassed in Walmart for wearing the headband has made me doubtful.

But, yeah. If they find out who did it then it'll be sth. And it is drumming up a lot of support about autism stigma, so that's good either way. But it's got that weird stilted language that stdh.txt has, so it's just hitting me as off.

I always interpreted it as something like: They were on a field trip and he was toward the back of the group with the teacher way ahead at the front, and he was being so loving annoying that different people kept saying "for gently caress's sake will somebody punch that kid and shut him up?"

I remember reading this in the troper thread and a bunch of the troper comments were either making fun of him or asking what the hell he was talking about.

Oh no oh god it's all true!
We've all dealt with trolls. But how does a troper handle them?

quote:

This troper once had to deal with a troll on his site, after perma banning him, the troll responded with some rather nasty attacks, and I decided to respond with one of the greatest comebacks i have ever written
"Dear Troll
You seem to be wallowing in your own self pity so much that you believe you are a victim or hero. You are a victim like a criminal is a victim of the justice system and I’ll explain why.
1: I was receiving multiple requests to permanently ban you from the site and I attempted to ignore it. How ever I continued to receive more and more requests before I finally allowed -tropers friend- to remove you from the site. Tell me if you were doing nothing wrong why did I get multiple requests to have you permanently banned?
2: Your idea that you can shut down my site by reporting it to main HQ operates on flawed logic. What reasons do you have besides me allowing you to be permanently banned? Its my site, that means I am allowed to do what I want since my family pays to keep it running, I could permanently ban anyone without any reason if I wanted to. Also what kind of hero tries to shut down a site and ruin a lot of people’s fun just to get back at one person.
3: nearly everyone on the site dislikes you now. This should be obvious considering that the members are the ones that wanted you removed from the site not me, it was their vote, I merely gave them what they wanted.
4: You still need to work on your grammar, its best to work this out before sending me a threat. You also shouldn’t use swears, it makes you seem like an immature brat.
5: I hate people that pretend to be the good guys, they’re always stuck in their self pity and won’t realize that no one else thinks they’re the good guys and that they are much worse than they believe. I have no problems admitting I’m a complete monster that crawled out of disgusting muck from the darkest corners of this earth, how ever I won’t let my site and my friends be threatened by some one that thinks he’s a hero and deserves everything when is just as bad as me.
6: so lastly in summary of all this. You bastard (for threatening to shut down the site just to get back at me regardless of how innocent people might get hurt) and You suck (as well as your grammar, manners and everything you stand for)."

I remember she was committed temporarily for threatening the cops or something? But did we get any more posts or articles about her after she got out of lockup?

What makes this such wonderful stdh is how he manages to get in a bad-rear end soundtrack. No matter how imaginative these guys are, even the most most epic stdh will never, ever, be as cool as what happens in the movies because the movies have bad-rear end soundtracks.
