Somehow I'm picturing this grizzled homeless Vietnam veteran getting up all "you want a dance, you little prick?!"

And then busting out a "Korean style" dance? Oh my god, does the author of that piece of poo poo actually think the Gangnam Style dance is a traditional Korean dance? :cawg:

I'm trying to picture dozens of people starting to dance gangnam style on some random street, into the night and without music.

I'm not sure whether that's hilarious or horrifying.

That's the image that came to mind too. I'm sure in the author's head it looked really cool because he could imagine the music playing, but the reality of it would be a lot more awkward if it actually happened. Just a bunch of people hopping around in silence surrounding a homeless guy who is yelling the words to a song.

I think the most confusing part of this stdh is the fact the 'dipshit' was dressed in a trench coat and fedora. Like this reads exactly like a trooper tale, do tropers not think the trench coat and fedora look is the height of class anymore?

Unlike that one, this story likely did happen, but it made me smile so here it is regardless.

Must Hate Watching Animal Planet
Pet Store | GA, USA | At The Checkout, Pets & Animals

(I’m ringing up a customer buying a bag of dog food, and a small toy. When customers pay by credit card, the screen automatically asks if they want to make a donation to help homeless animals.)

Me: “Would you like to make a donation to [store charity]?”

Customer: “No, I hate all animals; this is for a friend.”

Me: “Okay then. Would you like a bag for that?”

Customer: “Yes, I hate the environment too.”

They may have been confused by the existence of trot music, an old-fashioned genre of Korean pop music developed in the first half of the 20th century. The Wikipedia entry for "Gangnam Style" links to its "trot music" entry when discussing the horse trot that PSY performs in the video. But I honestly can't tell whether or not trot music actually has anything to do with the horse trot. The name "trot" refers to the foxtrot, and while trot singers do perform with backup dancers, I haven't seen enough videos of trot performances to know whether trot backup dancers often do the horse trot. So I doubt it.

E: Allegedly PSY chose the horse trot after testing out a few other "cheesy" animal-inspired moves.

The soldiers were probably right - I'd have to be starving to want to pay extra for airline food. If someone bought me lunch after they heard me clearly say I didn't want one and wanted to wait for much better food instead, I'd be pretty annoyed. I doubt they were thinking "I can't buy this because I'm too poor", they were probably thinking more along the lines of "I don't want to buy this because the food is going to suck".

Also what was the deal with the 25 dollars from 3 separate people? I could see one guy handing him a 20 or something, but 3 people giving him more than one bill adding up to the same amount?

I don't know. I feel like I'm quoting Bojack Horseman here but I really do dislike how as an American it's your duty to love every single person who has picked up a rifle and gone to war like it's the only important job anyone can ever do. I mean, yeah it takes a degree of courage but it's possible too that they're just a sociopath and/or racist looking for their chance to kill some brown people in the name of Uncle Sam.

Isn't it haram, if you will, to tell civilians about your deployment plans? My military friends have been very non-specific about where they are going before deployment other than "I am being deployed to Afghanistan." Once you're there it's no big deal, but I don't think they want it to be public knowledge of dates and places that they're shipping soldiers out.
