A girl gave you her number. What an amazing event worthy of a meme, and not basic social interaction.

Tracula posted:Something that always annoys me is when someone describes any mass of people as zombies like they're the special loving snowflake who is above consumer culture or whatever. Me, you and the important narrator are all just loving people too trying to get coffee or shop or whatever else. The only zombie at Starbucks was me because after 4 hours of working the register I really didn't give a poo poo if you were headed off to class or wanted to tell me Coffee Joke #23456. I forced myself to be a morning person because it let me not have to work overnights, but the morning people are pretty chipper. It's the night people that look like death because they've been awake all day.

Troper Tales, home of the non sequiter.quote:This troper's father once told her of a time, long before she was born, when he had to take a long commute into town for a job in Dallas, driving a Karmann Ghia. One morning on his way to work, he lost control of the car and went off the edge of the highway, flipping end over end down a steep hill. Once the car came to a stop (fortunately, wheels side down), Dad got out, went over and picked up his windshield (which had fallen out in one piece), and taped it back in. He then proceeded to drive to work as usual, arriving five or ten minutes late. Eventually his coworkers noticed his vehicle's somewhat battered appearance, and asked him what happened. He explained. A little while later, his boss came into his office and gave him a raise.

Checked back quite a while, don't think I saw these ones posted.  I'd like to think this one is parody, but having read Red Pill I'm inclined to think this was made up in earnest.  edit: OOPSIE

Yep, I believe this one, people will rip each other apart for Amiibo's and will do anything to get them, I even believe the smug "I don't like Fallout, guys!" because it's popular to have that stance in here, just read any of the Fallout threads in Games for a bit.

I'm relentlessly naive so I always assume people wouldn't be so childish that they'd delight in not liking a thing that is popular. Threads like this keep me grounded. constantIllusion posted:I know I asked this question in the past, but why do these nerds think that people IRL applaud their lovely bon mots?

My theory is that they assume that 99% of the time, all eyes are on them because they are so important and so interesting that naturally, their lives are like a sitcom and they are the main character. Therefore, in public spaces, instead of concentrating on what they're doing, other people are background characters waiting for this person to say their line.

Nobody actually gave a poo poo or thought the person yelling was a dickhead, rolled their eyes and went about their business.

I enjoy the overly descriptive writing, mixed with first grade writing skills that STDH stories generally have. We get stuff like "he hissed smugly" followed up with "the last time I heard she leaved him" in the same story.

These people read stories in which someone gets applause and figure that's how you're supposed to write them.

sharktamer posted:I think what bothers me about these stupid tumblr screenshots is the need of the poster to insert themselves saying "yo go girl" or some poo poo at the bottom. It's like a constant demotivational loop. Seriously. Most jokes end at the punchline, and comic strips tend to end on the panel WITH the punchline. Adding more words just distracts the reader because they think there's a second, better joke coming, but there isn't, and it just deflates and completely undercuts the previous one. I think they need to add their little parting shot to show that they are cool and funny like the person who actually made the joke, see they thought it was funny too, that's almost as good as making the joke itself, right?

Which is where this was lurking: quote:This troper is a direct descendant of at least three confirmed geniuses (two math-and-science, one humanities, all three with combat training), with the possibility of a fourth and fifth in the form of her grandmothers, one of whom is simultaneously the living embodiment of Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming, and someone who constantly gives visitors things in her home that they admire as part of a massive Manipulative Bastard scheme to get other people to clear out her house for her. The other used to do the books for the Mob in Detroit before going on to start her own cookie company. This example, however, does not concern either of them, but rather this troper's grandfather.
