Something has to be seriously wrong with the people who write those "I said a popular culture reference and people got it" stdhs. It's just the lamest possible story, and that one is made even worse because it's not a reference to the movie, it's a reference to some youtube video. Also the person has clearly never been hiking. Some of them do get crowded but they made it out like there were double digits worth of people within earshot which seems pretty unlikely.

Seriously. Seriously implausible. The poster was not the one throwing the poop at the attacker. No one applauded, no one went home with the white knight for sex and marriage. Also no Marines or Einstein. Really disappointed with this generation's lack of craftsmanship in STDH posts.

Yeah that was a lot simpler than saying "I'm not applying until next year". I strongly doubt people would call you out on it and if they did just say "I was loving 13, 13 year olds lie about really stupid things". The fact that he is going out of state and is doing work in a lab makes me wonder how close to 6 digits in debt he is because he wanted to impress his wow friends. That one is clearly just a "i want to brag about being in grad school and this is the first contrived story I thought of" thing. Who cares, your masters degree will be worthless until you do something with it and if you type tumblr posts while you should be working I doubt you're going to far.

Well, we can be sure that at least one thing about this story is true: kid's definitely lying about his age. Also in grad school I barely had time to take a poo poo let alone play WoW or browse Tumblr

Must've been a quiet night in the dispatch office repeating lines from Super Troopers with the night shift, why not help someone claiming to be a young girl with her math homework instead?

Lol this didn't happen the most. Things that did happen re: Canadian pharmacy robberies. My pharmacy was robbed and they went for the methadone. However, instead of stealing the actual, labelled jug of pre-mixed methadone solution, they stole the separate jug of pre-mixed Tang instead.

Verisimilidude posted:http://abcnews.go.com/US/grader-seeks-math-problem-solving-local-ohio-police/story?id=45614265 This article is making me so irrationally angry. I suppose I should be happy that there's something in the news that is a happy human-interest story instead of the constant barrage of negative news but this poo poo bothers me. 1) a 10 year-old child should not have access to Facebook, 2) a parent's reaction to finding out their elementary-aged child was communicating with the POLICE via the internet shouldnt be "tickled", 3) Order of operation is easy and the only reason the girl should have had difficulty is if she missed class that day, 4) Even if this is STDH, it's still a story typed up and published on ABC New, I would be more forgiving if this was from a myspecialsnowflake parenting blog, but it was literally published on a legitimate news source. This is some of that fake news the president is always talking about, isn't it?

Uh, I get why you wouldn't want a ten year-old on facebook, but come on, is it really that hair-raising that the girl was (ostensibly and maybe not even) communicating with police on the internet?

Of all the easily-contacted professions, cops are probably some of the worst at math. She probably wouldn't do much better asking the pizza delivery man, but maybe the mailman, grocery store clerk, or (gasp) her teacher would have been better choices. Wouldn't get all those sweet THIN BLUE LINE likes and shares, though.

Femalequote:This female troper baffles all the doctors she's gone to. After listing all the injuries she has suffered and not gone to the hospital for,they wonder what the hell i'm eating. To date,since the age of 9,she has fallen down concrete steps headfirst,hit by a car riding her bike,pushed into the spray of an uncapped fire hydrat and skidded on her bare shoulder across the street,onto a sidewalk and hit a chainlink fence,fallen off a 10 ft wall,belly-flopped onto a hardwoodfloor face-first and chipped her tooth,had a door fall on her,kicked by a stallion,dragged by a dog downhill on a sidewalk on her stomach,trampled by a 300lb sow,body slammed by a 200lb ram,had her head slammed in the hood of a car,had a wooden swingset fall onto her legs, and several more i don't remember.The only ones i had to go to the hospital for was when i srtuck my head on a post diving out of the way of a erratic car and had bad headaches,only for the doctors to find that i had a cracked hip i didn't even feel or know i had and nothing wrong with my skull. Ironically,the other times was when i developed acid reflux and spat up blood...and my thyroid acted up and gave me a heartattack. Go figger... Frail quote:This Troper has an odd example. As a child, he had several serious injuries for the age(3-8). I'd fall off the high chair regularly, had my tongue split in half by a spring, slammed against the concrete, got into a [1] or two, and had all the skin on my chest ripped off twice. Never once went to the hospital. Around the time I got a PS 2, I was so frail, that a five year old could push me down. This lasted until I was in grade 9, when I was inexplicably immune to getting punched. Whenever someone hit me, I barely felt it. Even when a softball slammed my face, I just had a bit of blurred eyesight. The bullies would punch my head, and break a finger... and the only time I've been to the hospital in my life(for me), is when I was born, and when I was admitted into the Psyche Ward for a few hours. Pain quote:troper is unfortunate enough to have an extremely high pain threshold... And sensory hypersensitivity due to his AS. The only reason he can't kick everyone's rear end is not because he's a weakling, it's because everything hurts him a lot more then normal. Punching someone usually does hurt him more than it hurts them. However, the high pain threshold comes into effect. A particularly glaring example was 3 summers ago at camp, this troper fell from a tree, whammed against the roof of his bunk, K.Oing him, and rolled down to fall 12 feet. His lip was almost bit through, and his wrists were displaced from the rest of his arm; it looked like someone replaced my wrist bone with a golf ball. In extreme pain, he declined his counselor's offer to carry him to the nurse, and walked the 1/8th of a mile to the nurse by himself, before promptly collapsing. Wrestler quote:This troper has never sustained an injury more serious than a sprained ankle despite falling down a long flight of concrete stairs at age 5, being hit by a van on his bike, getting into a few 5+ on 1 encounters, being on the side of the car that was actually hit in a wreck (when his mother and brother on the other side were actually injured), being beat down with an aluminum bat(several strikes to the skull no less) until IT was dented, bleeding about 5 pints (yes, at once), and being a professional wrestler. Oddly the sprained ankle came from an awkward landing jumping down from a tree.

I think the main theme of these troper tales is casually mentioning getting punched a lot in their younger years. Gee, I wonder why anyone would want to punch them?

No no, it's impressive because he feels pain more acutely than others but also has a high pain threshold so he... Doesn't? Uh. Hm. Man troper tales are so goddamn pathetic. Also I don't remember if anyone linked that troper profile that was linked in the AUG thread. It's bad, real bad. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Joerc45 Apparently he's in prison now or something.

As if it wasn't obnoxious enough to have tropes they are examples of, they have to also include ones that don't apply or that they subvert. I would want troopers to gently caress off forever if the poo poo they wrote wasn't so stupid it was funny.
