Then I banged the mum.

Then she made us dinner. And the rest of the family cheered when they discovered Paladinus was actually Einstein who was actually a veteran.

But the million dollar question is: did he punch the liberal philosophy teacher?

So, if the 603 is the bus I'm thinking of this dude is NOT that worried about getting jacked lmao. If he was on the 33, or the 733 yeah, he'd be taking a train to robs-ville, but no-one in loving Glendale of all places is looking to rob some dude of his DS.

e: or he's coming home from a "prepatory highschool" which is even funnier. Waf is what I'm saying.

Because It's normally written by someone who doesn't hang out with African American's or ones they would classify as "The Good Ones."

Having seen far more black people on television than interacted with them in person, naturally one influence will dominate their perceptions.

I'm assuming the real story is a black guy sat next to him on the bus and glanced at his DS. Darrel then spent the rest of the ride silently making GBS threads his pants awaiting the DS jacking he was so certain was about to happen.

A combat roll is not a cartwheel.

But it should be and would make combat much more interesting.

SPORTING GOODS STORE | SC, USA | BIGOTRY
(I am working the firearm counter at a well known sporting goods store. It is early in the morning, so I’m cleaning the cases when a man approaches.)

Man: “Hey, honey. You got anyone working at these here guns?”

(I assume he thinks I’m maintenance since I’m cleaning.)

Me: “Yes, sir, I am. What can I help with today?”

Man: *guffaw* “No, honey. I need someone who can sell me one’a these here guns.”

Me: “Yes, sir, I am certified to do that. What were you interested in?”

Man: *looks visibly uncomfortable* “You ain’t got nobody else here?”

Me: “No. We usually only have the one person in the morning. Can I help you with something?”

Man: “I need a .22.”

Me: “We have several in stock of different manufacturers.”

Man: “I’m looking for a .22, honey. It’s a rifle.”

Me: *becoming annoyed* “Yes, I know. Which manufacturer or model are you interested in?”

Man: “I’ll just come back by when y’all got someone working who knows what I’m lookin’ fer.”

Me: “Sir, none of our employees are telepathic. If you don’t know what you want, chances are that we won’t either!”

Clerk: "Certainly. Here are a number of .22 rifles, may I suggest the most expensive one?"

Job done.

Honestly, seeing as how this supposedly took place in SC, it wouldn't surprise me if a toned-down version of this happened. Older guys in the south don't think girls can do things. My version happened at a lumber yard, where I was trying to find quarter round molding. The clerk had no idea what I was asking for and I had to show him what it was. When I went to pay for it, the old guy behind the counter gave me this grandfatherly smile and said "Are you building something today, honey?" It was probably the most condescending thing I've ever heard.

If it had been STDH, I'd have told him off about how my dad was a hardware store manager (true) and I knew my way around tools (also true), and that I had to explain to his own employee what quarter round molding is. As it was, I just paid for my molding and left. It's just the south.

When I worked at a thrift shop we'd get in old weird fur stuff on occasion, and once we got one of those scarfs made out of whole animals, three martens biting each other in a chain. I knew they were martens because it said so on the tag but I still had a dude try and educate me about how they were foxes. I don't know how you can possibly mistake those two animals.

In stdh land I unleashed an encyclopedic knowledge of martens and their characteristics and the man left speechless. Irl I just said "ah" and bought it when he left so it'd be gone if he came back for it.

I misread that as 'martins' and was even more confused at his mistake.

A whole world of imagination beyond the oompah band.
Any time I'm on set with older gentlemen, one of them will invariably make a comment whenever I lift something that's more than twenty pounds - "whoa, let me get that for you" or "you sure you got that?" or something along those lines. It hasn't happened much since I moved to LA, but it used to happen a lot back when I still lived in a more rural area.

In the STDH version I would've smugly lifted said things over my head and twirled them on my finger like a basketball. In real life one time I accidentally dropped one of those things as soon as the dude asked about it (because I am a complete klutz, not because it was too heavy) and never loving lived it down.
