I think you just got lucky with where you were visiting there, because to me Tv Tropes has always been the refugee camp for Wikipedos annoyed that Wikipedia finally got around to removing the "...in anime" sections that attached themselves to every single article.

I could actually believe this one if instead of the "loving priceless" look, he just got a chuckle out of someone. I mean, I guess that's not that great a story but at least maybe someone would believe it.

Oh god this reminds me, wasn't there a fundie Christian right-wing troper who went on about how homosexuality is evil because the purpose of sex is reproduction, and he turned out to have a vore fetish? I think he was one of the few people to actually get banned from the site/forum, and he said one of the My Little Ponies would be his ideal wife.

I'm not sure if they were the same person or not, but the one person I recall getting banned there myself did so by posting an image/repost from Stormfront to try and prove some point and backpedalling super hard when he got called out. Can't for the life me of recall the content of the repost or the context of him posting it was though, if anyone else remembers. Trash Boat has a new favorite as of 03:13 on Jun 16, 2018 |

I know this only because he apparently migrated to my online community after being chased out of tvtropes and if it wasn't for one of the trope threads I would have never known. Look him up in archived threads. Or don't, actually, he's horrible. Also he's apparently married now, to an mra woman who posts on rpgnet despite still thinking one of the most sinful, awful, horrible things a woman could ever do was wear pants. Here's what he sounds like. http://tindeck.com/listen/mkdf Lyrai has a new favorite as of 03:37 on Jun 16, 2018 |

I’m the person who clicks on those terrible Facebook ads containing clickbait articles and lists. They are usually an entertaining enough way to kill a couple minutes while waiting for something, and they frequently contain the best stdh. This one is notable because not only did it not happen, but it’s quite possibly the saddest “revenge” imaginable. “"I was a cashier at a grocery store, and if a customer was using coupons we had to make sure they were actually buying the correct item. One day, a customer was throwing a fit while I was looking for the items and comparing them to the coupons. This lady paid by check, and after she left I wrote down her phone number. I waited 2-3 months, then called her up at 3:30 in the morning and told her to shove her coupons up her butt."”

You have 2-3 months to come up with a way to get revenge on someone that mildly inconvenienced you, and that's what you come up with? A 5 year old could do better.

Wait, don't coupons just have a barcode or PLU number you punch in and the computer does all the work? I think this person's real problem is still living in the 1970s.

No, for some reason, sometimes a coupon that's supposed to be two dollars off of a five dollar item works for the dollar version of the item and then a coupon queen Facebook group will spread that info around. Most cashiers don't notice or care but if the store catches on, they'll start checking coupons. It's one of the reasons I'm glad I got out of retail.

One of the women I used to work with would coupon. I mean cool you got 10 bottles of Head and Shoulders for like $2 but why? What do you need with that much?

Fathis Munk posted:I mean if it's not perishable you have quite some time to use it. True, but I think you also reach a point of diminishing returns. I have a friend who coupons, and while I won't deny she gets some good deals, at one point she had like 20 bottles of laundry detergent. And if a coupon came up for a deal on laundry detergent, she'd buy more. And I'm thinking, "why not just get through some of what you have first, instead of continuously buying laundry detergent because it's a great deal?"

Oh, well yeah you gotta use it all up. I had a flatmate who'd come back with the most random stuff when he went grocery/necessities shopping, just because "they had a great buy 2 get 1 free deal!"

timefly posted:This is the dumbest thing I've seen on Reddit in a while. And people pointing out it's obvious bullshit are getting downvoted! It has over a thousand upvotes! Jesus, people believe that a grown man just allowed a 70 year old to scream at them, physically force them all the way across the store to the back room, got their wallet out of their pocket, and then sat there for hours from the sound of it? How the gently caress do you drag a guy through a store who doesn't want to be without the cops getting called? Like, I don't care if he's almost 70, if he starts grabbing me I'm loving fighting back while screaming and kicking. And as soon as I got the chance, I'd call the loving cops. That's beside the fact that if the manager would do that to a stranger in the store, he'd have done it long before to actual employees, and would already be in a home somewhere.
