Agreed. My takeaway was "I never thought Muslims were like real people until one literally bought my respect, so I guess they're not all horrible!" Love that that one came out so close to Ramadan's end as well. And on the off chance I'm not the only Muslim who enjoys perusing this thread, Eid mubarak! May we all get to guzzle our body weights in coffee to make up for a month of morning commutes without coffee.

It's STDH anyway but I read it as more "I'd pay you back for your kindness but I'm sure you wouldn't let me because people who are legitimately giving and generous to total strangers would never expect, much less accept, compensation for their generosity". Also Eid mubarak ibntumart get y'all eat on.

He feels he owes her, but doubts she'll let him pay her back because she already refused it once, and people who do something out of genuine generosity don't expect to be paid back. It's not all that puzzling. But yeah it's a dumb stdh. They all are.

Eid mubarak, ibntumart! Thanks to you, I learned some stuff about Ramadan. (I think it's cool that there are a bunch of reasonable exceptions for the fast.) In celebration, have this lengthy NAR post! Truly a feast for the eyes of terrible customer service. The Final One Word On The Matter posted:(My boss is wonderful. As a result of far too many stories like the ones on this site, he directs his staff to use one word responses when a customer gets unreasonable, and to hit the ‘panic’ button — a monitor that pipes the conversation through to him. Conversations like this still happen, but at least it’s all handled.) "Give me a [Product]!"

Fedoraquote:In light of some actual, sincere moments worthy of the moniker of Awesome, I'm going to respectfully tone this one down to a Crowning Moment of Timing - I was in Disney World on a marching band trip in high school, walking around with a buddy of mine, looking for other friends. I decided to hop up onto a cement embankment to get a better look; and, at that precise moment, the ubiquitous background music they have playing constantly in those theme parks swelled dramatically. The best part? I was wearing my recently-purchased Indiana Jones-branded fedora. 6'4" quote:This troper's brother had his crowning moment of awesome (in this troper's opinion) when he was in 5th year in secondary school. This troper was 12 at the time, had just started secondary school and was being bullied mercilessly by a guy in her class for being a loner/nerd/freak/four-eyes/fatty/swot/teacher's pet (This troper has the unfortunate combination of book smarts, a slight weight problem and glasses.) One day while my class waiting outside the P.E hall for the teacher to come, said bully began verbally abusing me. Nobody said anything to him about it, I'd given up telling him to leave me alone, a complaint to several teachers hadn't made him stop. I was just about to resign myself to 5 years of hearing this jerk insult me everytime I turned around. And then some 5th year students passed by on their way to another class. One was my brother. At home, we never stop fighting but upon seeing this jerk making his little sister upset, my brother (who is 6'4) picked the jerk up by his shirt collar, held him more than a foot off the ground for a full minute, leaned in real close and said quietly through bared teeth "Leave my sister alone." (For extra effect everyone else hade gone quiet, so that my brother's whispered ultimatum echoed throughout the hallway. Plus my brother has two extra canine teeth. They look like actual vampire fangs. He refuses to get them removed.) The jerk was suitably freaked out. He never dared bother me again. Pencils quote:THIS has to be one of the BEST crowning moments of awesome EVER. When I was in junior school, sixth year, some guy completly high on drugs tries to break into the school (to steal pencils to 'defend himself from zombies'). While the head was trying to phone the police, the other teachers where trying to keep the kids in the classrooms, my class bursts out through the back exit of the classroom and round the back stairs to see what's going on. Led by me, my friend Georgia, a boy called Dave and my best friend Chloe, we plotted the best way to drive this guy out. We snuck down the stairs and, with me at the front, the rest of the class went into a V shape and charged this guy. We pounced on him, dragged him to the floor, kicked him into submission and stood gaurd. At one point the guy got up and grabbed a smallish girl in my class. I wasn't taking any poo poo from some wierdo, so I pounced on him and sunk my teeth (yes, I broke skin) into his ear and dragged him onto the ground. We then chased him into the stationery cupbord and guarded the door until the police arivved. He thought he'd been attacked by evil anthropomorphic animals (of whom I was the ring-leader) and was completly terrified of us. Especially me. I was 'the evil purple panther girl' who had ripped a chunk out of his ear. And I'm normally the shy one who hides in the background. Huggy Wipes quote:This troper had a CMOA (in his opinion) when... well the story goes like this:

Confused about the need for the wipes. yea I'm not sure what the implied 'ya know' means there. Like, huggy wipes are baby wipes right? This wasn't some medical diaper thing, I genuinely have no clue why someone would NEED baby wipes. I just love these troper tales because they're such amazing insights into the writers' minds. These total bullshit stories made up to be 'crowning moments of awesome' are things like 'so yea I got expelled a bunch and on the way to one school some dude made fun of me needing baby wipes for some reason so I bashed his skull in with the box as he screamed for mercy. I guess you can say I'm a pretty cool guy'. Why would you do that? We all know these are lies, why would you make up a story where you're such a psychopath?

I think a story says a lot more about you than you think it does when you open it with "I keep getting expelled from schools and I need to carry a box of wipes around with me because I can't properly clean my rear end with toilet paper."

Khazar-khum posted:Huggy Wipes From the point of view of "the rear end in a top hat" I was sitting on the bus when I noticed an 11th grader a few seats up was carrying what looked like a diaper bag. "Hey man," I asked, "what's with the diaper bag? Some kind of class project?" All of a sudden he went bonkers and started swinging it around and yelling. I felt kind of bad for setting him off because during his tantrum he ripped one of the buttons off his silk Hatsune Miku shirt.
