bringmyfishback posted:Hahahaha. That's not even the point I was trying to make to him. The point of charitable actions aren't for you to tell people how super awesome and giving you are, it's about doing something nice for someone else without regard for how it affects you. I told him it was ridiculous for the "person" to post in the way they did and it comes off as fake and self-serving. Had it been the Uber driver with a post about "hey this cool thing happened today" it's much more believable. He told me I didn't understand the value of giving and was a heartless person. I help run a charity that has people dress up as Disney characters and visit terminally ill kids and he's dressed up as a character before at my request.

Did he then post a novel on social media about how amazing he was as he burst into the room dressed as [character] and the terminally ill child burst into tears of joy thanking him over and over?

On my way into town this morning I remembered an old  that my friend Steve used to tell anyone that would listen, and being fairly sheltered as a teenager I believed him (up until I found the internet and became a horrible cynic).Allegedly Steve was driving through rural Georgia when he got pulled over by a state trooper. Steve was a loud, mouthy rear end in a top hat from NYC so while I would not put this beneath him, I highly doubt it's any more than a joke he decided to pass off as something he actually did. Anyway, according to Steve the exchange went like this:  Evenin', son. Evenin', sir. Do you know how fast you were goin' there? Nope. Well, you were bookin' a solid 90 back there, son. Nobody goes that fast through my state. (without missing a beat) Sherman did.At least he had the self-awareness not to tack on AND I GOT OUT OF THE TICKET AND HE FACEPALMED AND WALKED AWAY Also, my cousin claimed she pulled the "State Troopers' ball" joke on a Texas trooper once, but she's such a genuinely nice person that I don't think she intended anyone to take her seriously.

My mate dressed as Spider-Man for a kid with brain cancer and made the lad promise he'd take his medicine so he'd grow up big and strong like his favourite web slinger. The kid's still in recovery but is doing well. My mate has never once mentioned this since doing it because he's not human garbage like the people who write these stdh texts*. That's really what sickens me about these stories, y'know. Like, even if they did happen. Even if you did do something really nice why are you trying to validate it as if the act itself wasn't enough. I know people in real life who give to charity and then talk loudly about how much they put in a donation bucket or whatever. It's abhorent. *Tonight I'll applaud him, burst into tears and marry the dude.

Grooming The Situation home | NY, USA | Best Friends, Family & Kids, Spouses & Partners (My best friend is twenty years older than I, but still very active and a lot of fun. When he asks me to be the best man at his wedding, of course I accept, and I already have a date with my girlfriend that evening when I plan to tell her the good news. But before I can speak:) Girlfriend: “What are you doing on [date of the wedding]?” Me: *surprised* “Well, to be honest I’m going to be the best man at a friend’s wedding!” Girlfriend: “Crap. That was supposed to be a rhetorical question for you to say ‘nothing’ to. You can’t already be booked that far ahead! My father’s getting married that day!” (My girlfriend only met her father for the first time recently, after she was already an adult, and they’re both trying very hard to form a relationship together. I support her fully in this, so I don’t want her to blow off her father’s wedding for my friend she’s never met.) Me: “Well, your father doesn’t know me; maybe his wedding is going to be too emotionally charged to be the right time to introduce us? I mean, I’m not abandoning you. If you want me there I can call [Friend] and cancel.” Girlfriend: “…[Friend]?” Me: “Yeah, why?” Girlfriend: “[Friend] [Friend’s last name]?” Me: “Okay, what the h***?” (She pulls out her cell phone and hits speed-dial, holding it between us so we can both hear.) Girlfriend: “Daddy? What’s your best man’s name?” Voice Over The Phone: “His name’s [My Name], pumpkin. He’s really nice; I promise you’ll like him.” Girlfriend: “I already do.” Me: “[Friend]?” Voice Over The Phone: “[My Name]?” Me: “HOW DID WE NOT KNOW THIS?!”

That story was so dumb I barfed. So are people who write NARs and such former sitcom writers? Because it's Always the same type of "wacky" situations. I expect to hear canned laughter every time I read one and die a little on the inside.

An old guy who hasn't mentioned that he recently met his daughter for the first time. Apart from the creepy obvious, there is also the fact that the father wants to have someone his daughters age as his best man.

The kid's still in recovery but is doing well. Not to mention that these stories are always so low-effort. Oh you googled something while you were on an Uber ride? WHAT A SAINT, I cannot believe you took your precious car-riding time to do that. You could have been playing Candy Crush instead! I had a friend who was terminally ill with leukemia but insisted on going to Mexico and building houses with Habitat for Humanity because she just really wanted to do it. When she came back she was exhausted and it made her really sick for a while, but she was so happy she had gotten to help give people houses. I mean she trucked her rear end to another country to do manual labor all day for a couple of weeks, even though she was deathly ill and weak, but that's nothing compared to someone who googles a sign language in a car. She made someone CRY with her thoughtfulness. My friend also didn't make a big deal out of it, or tell anyone unless they asked about where she had been. I have no idea if she made anyone cry, but I wouldn't be surprised since she helped them get a home.

Guys, tonight I went to get groceries at 11pm. The bus driver said "hi!" to me so I said hi back. Got my groceries, then waited for the bus back. It was the same driver. He must have the lovely late night 4 hour long route. He said "hey, you again!" I said "hey!" Then took a seat. Then, when I was leaving the bus, we again commented at the coincidence of being on he same route twice, together. I told him to have a good night and he literally started crying and had to put the bus in park, because I don't think anyone ever wishes the night bus drivers a good night. I always wonder just how much embellishment is in these things. Doing a normal thing like saying "hey" turns into "I helped a bus driver not commit suicide!"
