Pretty sure 112 is the emergency number in most of Europe.

FrozenVent posted:It won't necessarily work in all fifty states, you're better off just calling 911. That being said, people have apparently attacked women by pretending to be cops and pulling them over. It will work in all 50 states, but not necessarily on all phone providers. 112 is the international emergency number, and a requirement of operating GSM service is that you provide 112 facility - so any US carrier that uses GSM *must* provide mapping to the local emergency service, whereas CDMA providers *may* provide it.

This video shows a bunch of Australians helping to free a man trapped between the train and the platform. All very nice and good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZx4MichXXE Watch the woman just besides the open door (that the trapped man was in) after they free him. She tries to start a clap, but quickly stops after she realizes no one else is joining in.

This is an English translation of a Hebrew script presented by Israel's Channel One News as a transcript of a conversation between Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu:Channel One posted:Barack Obama: I demand that Israel agrees to an immediate, unilateral ceasefire and halt all offensive activities, in particular airstrikes. Both countries' governments are claiming that the transcript is fake, but why should we let the truth ruin our enjoyment of some good STDH?

If you dial 112 on on your mobile phone in the US, it connects you to regular 911 but the operator speaks in Received Pronunciation

I work in a starbucks and we only have real milk/half and half. People do frequently order poo poo "light and sweet" or with poo poo in despite only asking if they want room. Some people are dismayed at the thought of having to put milk or sugar in their coffee. Like its some strange act of barbarism. I dont understand why people want other people to put it in. They wont get it right.

I just saw this "news" "story" and had to run here and share. ______ Kids are annoying no matter how you slice it, but if they are crying their heads off and yelling "I want loving pie!" when you're in line at a Burger King, the only natural recourse is to then buy every single pie in sight so that the kid just has to loving deal. One man, a Gawker hero, claims on Reddit to have done just that. In a Reddit thread labeled "offmychest," one user spins a compelling tale of buying 23 Burger King apple pies when he heard a young crybaby behind him yelling at his mother about wanting some loving pie. What happens next will surprise and gratify you!!!!!! From his Reddit confession: It turns out it was so slow because they had 1 trainee on cash during the lunch hour rush. All I can think of is how the people behind me ruined my splurge and gave me this headache. I then decide to ruin their day. I order every pie they have left in addition to my burgers. Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit. Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you don't have any pies left, who bought them all?

She starts running towards me but can't get to me because of other lineups in the food court. I turn and slowly walk away. ______ Source.

Well, you wasted a lot of money on 23 pies you didn't want and won't eat, in order to spite a random stranger? That's what being a Gawker hero is?

Gawker is very much into "antisocial behavior by whoever comes to Gawker first to post about it is awesome, gently caress all those outgroup people who didn't post here for daring to exist!" Luckily, this poo poo is something that Did Not Happen so I wouldn't worry about the nonexistent kid being dicked over by a crazy pie monster.

I think there was a similar story by a goon who decided to be a severely misguided Samaritan and buy the candy the kid was told they couldn't have because they can't afford it. The result was one really creeped out and peeved mother and a confused goon who threw it in the bin as he skulked off to post.

I like the implication that the Reddit user is so fat, nobody in his story seems to question the idea that he would purchase and eat 23 pies on top of his burgers. Like, he walks away with two armfuls of bags stuffed with pies, and nobody gives a poo poo until that one customer gets to the counter. The mental image of a 400-pound man power-walking through a food court trying to cram ill-gotten pies in his food hole while being chased by a woman intent on stealing his pies makes me chuckle.

Now granted, I have never actually seen a Burger King pie, but can they not just...make more? It's not like Burger King is going to be making the thing from scratch each time. Even being STDH, isn't that more just a mild inconvenience out of spite to anyone else involved, and not some awesome act of revenge? Against a child and a presumably frazzled mom, too, just for the added dose of pathetic on the story teller.

Ah, but you missed the first half of the story!quote:So a while ago I had decided to treat myself and go to Burger King. I hadn't had the greatest of days and I had a headache coming on. It was a very long line and I was at the end of it waiting patiently. When behind me comes this woman yapping on her cellphone with a little monster of a child. This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a gameboy whenever something didn't go right in the game. The mother didn't seem to pay any attention to him and his continued yelling of 'I want a loving PIE'. After about 5 minutes of the line with these people behind me, I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine, but nothing was going to stop me from getting those burgers. I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down. Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I can't tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business. I nod and turn around, shes still yelling at the back of my head when the child cries out again how he wants a pie, the mother consoles him, calling him sweety and ensuring they'll get pies for lunch because she loves him so much.

So this woman was standing behind him, and didn't notice he ordered 23 pies. Then she got mad and demanded to know who ordered the last pie.

drat this oppressive government, forcing us poor genius teens to spend our state funded class time learning instead of watching movies! One time in class, I got fed up This was one of my favorite teachers ever, he didn't believe in homework and was just the coolest dude ever Teacher: I won't be here tomorrow so I left worksheets for the teacher to give you. Kid: why can't we watch a movie? Teacher: because the school board doesn't like us to show you movies that don't have anything to do with the curriculum. They say that movies are for home and we need to keep your home life separate from your school life. Me: then why do they give us homework? Whole class: ..... Teacher: ..... President: ..... Miley Cyrus: .... Me: .... Teacher: Samantha, please. Whatever you do. Bring this up with the principal because that's the best argument I have ever heard

Even better, why not go somewhere else in the food court to get something to eat? Like if you're stuck with a loud annoying kid behind you then use that as an excuse to go buy something better than Burger King.

Eating something high in protein *sometimes* makes a migraine go away for me faster than asprin (which is the only painkiller that ever gets rid of them for me), but yeah, I won't *want* to eat it.

Someone on my Facebook reported an article online about this "hero" so I just called it as total bullshit.

Why you should never drunk text a doctor who fan. tl;dr: A remarkably low effort stdh to pander to Doctor Who fans. The punchline is "this drunk dude actually believed he was in the Dr. Who universe because Dr. Who is that awesome! And he was drunk!"
