Did you know niggardly is a real word but is not an adjective for niggers? Yes you did because you're not a spastic. Some people don't apparently, and here's some STDH based around this hilarious misunderstanding

I'd agree, but I find much less likely when it's revealed they are a puppet-master doing a SOCIOLOGY EXPERIMENT!

What a lovely experiment, no controls, no way of recording or measuring the data. It's bullshit even in the weak context it has set up for itself.

Maybe our reactions here are the real experiment.

I remember a really awkward prank video where a bloke offers random women a drink with a vaguely rude sounding name. Can't find it, sadly, but it illustrates perfectly how those stories go in real life.

Some dude going around asking women on the beach if they want to get naked and then pulling out a Naked Juice bottle, right? And of course half the women (and boyfriend if she had one present) were all like "Haha, you got me good, that totally isn't tortured syntax that no one familiar with human speech could interpret as an offer for a beverage" because the prank was not at all staged.

Eh, High School sociology is usually "do some stupid survey thing or play a game with students and then say something about it", not exactly the most rigorous academia.

Not that it isn't STDH

Also it would be a controlled observation, not an experiment. Experiments are about measuring the change in X when you add/subtract/modify Y. An observation is just doing something and watching what happens.

edit: for example an observation would be me (as a white person) yelling racial slurs in the street. An experiment would be the same thing, but also repeating it with blackface and seeing what difference it made. And for a control, yelling racial slurs painted green or something.

edit two: I think I'm correct, but I could be wrong. It's been a while.

Twice The Cheese, Double The Effort
Restaurant, Sandwich Shop | Canada | At The Checkout, Crazy Requests, Food & Drink, Money

(I used to work at a small sandwich shop at which the manager and I were the only daytime employees. Our franchise serves shredded cheese on sandwiches, and customers often try to get us to put extra cheese on, since it’s more difficult to gauge the proper amount. The following happens during our regular lunch rush, as my manager and I are running back and forth, ringing people through and making their sandwiches.)

Me: “And what kind of cheese would you like?”

Customer #1: “Shredded.”

(I measure out the proper amount with our scoop and put it on his sandwich.)

Customer #1: “No, put more than that.”

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but this is our standardized amount. If you want more, you’ll have to pay for extra cheese.”

Customer #1: “No, you didn’t put enough on. You need more than that.”

(My manager has just finished ringing someone through and comes over.)

Manager: “No, sir, I saw her measure it out. That is the standardized amount for a footlong sandwich.”

Customer #1: “No. I need more cheese than that!”

(This goes back and forth for a minute as I get to work on the next customer’s order, and finally my manager puts a full extra serving of cheese on.)

Manager: “So that will be [amount] extra when you get to the till, then.”

Customer #1: *mutters* “Well, put more than that on, then.”

(My manager ignores him, and I finish making his sandwich and start punching it into the till.)

Customer #1: “And I’m not paying for extra cheese.”

Manager: “I gave you double cheese. Are you saying you would like me to give you free food?”

Customer #1: “You didn’t put double cheese! You put a tiny bit extra.”

Manager: “No. You received the regular, doubled, amount. Are you going to pay for it?”

Customer #1: “No! You should have put more! I won’t pay for extra cheese.” *smiling smugly* “So, how much is it without extra?”

(My manager raised her eyebrows at him, canceled the order, threw the sandwich in the garbage, and went back to help the next customer in line. He stood there speechless until the other customers started applauding. Then his face turned red and he stormed out, muttering that we lost “$30.00.” His sandwich was only worth about $8.00, even with the extra cheese.)

Didn't happen, but if it did it would be a very bad thing inside a divorce court (in the US at least)

How do you even accidentally find child porn on someone's computer. Kids hide regular porn behind seven levels of renamed folders and files mixed with password protection and this soldier just leaves it on D: or something?

You'd be surprised how dumb some people can be. Wasn't there some dude posting on facebook blatantly hinting he was into stuff and when the FBI searched his computer he had child porn stored in something like things/dontclick/preteens/cp
