On the other hand: a guy pushes his beer on you like that and you try and don't like it, is that what you tell him?

It depends on whether or not I'm trying to gently caress him. I'm much more tolerant of forced beer tastings when that is the case.

Yeah, I'm sure that makes it more flirtatious or at least quirky. If it's just some stranger yelling about how you don't know what you like, it's probably a lot more uncomfortable. The parties I used to go to had some kind of weird vibe where if somebody said "You guys gotta try this" everyone would mindlessly obey out of fear of being excluded from the group.

Someone actually tried to do this to our company, although not with a fancy written notice like that. We're an internet retailer so they would try to attack our servers then send emails asking for bitcoin in order to stop. They also kindly offered to attack our competitors for more bitcoin. We just ignored him and beefed up our security until he couldn't affect us anymore.

He was sending the emails to our general customer service email and it goes into a queue that anyone can read, so it was funny to follow the saga as he got more and more angry when we wouldn't respond to his genius Bitcoin blackmail scheme and especially when we made our site secure enough that he couldn't affect it anymore.

A beer nerd this deep into the rabbit hole should know: Smithwick's is an ale, not a lager.

For that matter, the beer-making family may be different, but the Smithwicks I know pronounce their family name "SMItheck" ("th" from "the", not, um, "Smith"), not whatever elftongue "Smid'ick" is supposed to be.

Probably trying to emulate the Irish pronunciation, we'd pronounce it Smiddicks (or Smi'icks, after a couple). It's also a common mass-produced ale, and certainly not one worth holding up as a champion against the evils of 'lite' beer.

I feel right at home in this thread yet never posted. I probably have a few gems for you guys. What happened today....

Quick backstory: I work for a multibillion dollar family owned company as a product manager. I make a good living, but my wife makes twice mine and we don't have debt.

I don't have to work, but like to. I got fed up with poo poo so I walked in one Monday, gave two weeks, and went home. My demands were the owners parking spot and a corner office. I didn't get those, but Next day I got a 30k raise. Now the game is how far can I go...

I honestly don't give a poo poo and it's kind of fun. Boss asked me how I felt with early morning China calls once a week, and I asked him how he'd feel about a punch in the balls and gently caress no.

Last week president of sales made a lovely comment about something, and I just responded with "or I can just go home now and you can figure it out ".

I am a nightmare employee, but at least I'm having fun with it. They are sending me to a free four seasons vacation for my performance. Might be quitting time again when I get back to see if I can hit six figs. FYI- there is zero hyperbole in anything above.

This is a rare instance of STDH that isn't even necessarily designed to make the author look like James Bond/Martin Luther King/Rambo.

I could believe this as it's very petty. Nothin interesting/very mundane. Also believability cred for the fact she never speaks to the guy or anyone else during.

And the woman spreading her legs on the subway thing heh sex joke and a guy shifting due to "uncomfortableness" is a physical uncomfortableness, as we don't want our leg touching someone as much as we know someone doesn't want our legs to touch them. Yeah we take up a little more space, we're just very carefree sitters as a gender.

This is true. Though if some girl sat on my hand I'd probably be like "sorry" and move it, and if she then rubbed knees with me I'd think she was being super forward.
