Boss got a new attitude and its been getting on everyones nerves. He caught me on a particularly bad day, and I told him to gently caress off. For those wondering, he asked me to do something I didnt know how to do. He expected me to be an expert at it, and when it wasn't done when HE wanted it done, he jumped down my throat. Co-Workers heard me tell him to gently caress off, a couple applauded and a few others laughed. Had to eat a suspension from work till the 12th for insubordination and disrespect to a superior. Meh, more WoW and State of Decay then.

So, why would the therapist mention Urotsukidouji when that is a fairly esoteric show(for America I'm assuming) as compared to GTA which is nationally known and in the public consciousness. I had to google it to find out what it is, and apparently it's the first tentacle series. And s/he apparently knows about Hikkikomoris and Otakus as well? I mean, I get that it's STDH, but it fell apart withing the first sentence. Can't you try better?

I have no goddamn idea what a troper is after seeing it brought up on here for like a decade. I've looked it up in the past, and apparently it's people who talk about tv shows, but actually tell random made up stories about poo poo that happened in 8th grade in third person.

No one has to explain it to me. I'm comfortable in the dark on this one.

For me, troper tales hit a lot closer to home than most of the other things in this thread. I could have easily seen myself as a 14 year old kid getting way too into them and writing a bunch up myself.

But yes, they belong here and not in a seperate thread.

I think it's because of the parmesan, which is made with animal rennet. That being said, you can buy rennet-free alternatives so it's still a pretty pointless complaint.

That sort of happened in Sweden, when a popular cooking magazine published a recipe for apple pie that called for 20 entire nutmeg seeds, when it should have been 2 ml (less than half a teaspoon) of ground nutmeg.

Four people had to go to the hospital for nutmeg poisoning.

What kinda idiot throws a book at a flying insect? You'd have to throw it really hard to actually squish the bug. 99 times out of 100 you'd just kinda bang the insect out of the way and it'd go flying to the other side of the room, and then recover and continue on its way.

Its hardly the stupidest part of that story but comeon, wait for the thing to land before you try to hit it. Especially if you're using a book and not like a flyswatter.

I'm imagining this guy freaking out at a tiny bug flying by, so he throws a textbook full force across the room and nails some girl in the face instead :lol:

Alternatively just pick it up and throw it outside because its just a beetle.

I like how the badly translated text seems to be thinking exactly what I was thinking.

"We thought that nobody would eat the cake because it gets so horribly bitter, but it turns out somebody went and did it anyways and now has symptoms"

Maybe if the cake tastes that bad, stop eating it? :v: These people would never survive without society.

I have (more than a few) of his books and I can't find 13 lemons in the pasta section.

The only thing I can think of is that it's one of his things where he tells people how to make this big rear end jar of sauce in one go that they can pop in the fridge and grab out once every few days to use.

If you haven't read his Save With Jamie you should.
