What with netflix and internets and everything, most kids probably don't even know what broadcasting really means.

kimbo305 posted:I'm trying to tea-leaf read the favourite spelling. Presumably an American kid ('our border'). Is it that likely that they would encounter that spelling and have it stick? I read a lot of Agatha Christie and stuff growing up, and would spell it colour or favourite or whatever sometimes as a kid. I still prefer how behaviour looks over behavior.

Sheldon gets killed in Fortnite and drops an n-bomb. The blonde woman says "Sheldon, that's racist!" After the 10 seconds of laugh track ends, Sheldon turns to the camera, shrugs and says "Bazinga!"

r/IDontWorkHereLady Couple say I'm their daughter and try and kidnap me for not doing my job... u/flex_tape_gurl This was about 3 years ago but my aunt recently brought it up so I thought I'd share. This was a horrid experience but I now look back and laugh. I was 14 and was visiting my aunt and uncle over the summer. My aunt works at the drug store a few blocks away. One day I had to get some feminine products as I had run out. So I decided I'd bring some lunch and eat with my aunt on her lunch break. I went straight to the feminine products and in my haste accidently knocked some down. So I had squatted down to pick them. Note I also had my earbuds in listening to music. I was on the floor for maybe a minute when i was forcefully pulled up to a standing position. I turned and was met with a barbeque stained tshirt. Looked up I realized the guy wearing it was very angry and still holding on to my arm. He then started angrily ranting about how I shouldn't be wearing earbuds at work and should listen when someone was speaking to me. I gruffly say "I dont work here. Go find someone else," and pulled my arm from his grip. Suddenly he's furious. He grabs my arm and starts pulling me to the front saying he's going to get me fired for being such a rude b***h. I was literally being dragged against my will so I start screaming "help! I'm being sexually assulted! He's trying to kidnap me!" He told me to shut up and still wouldn't let go! People finally start coming around the corner as we get to the cash register. The lady there is horrified and tells him to let go of me and she is going to call the cops. He doesn't let go but realizes he's gonna be in trouble. So in an effort to cover his rear end he starts saying that I'm his daughter and I was trying to steal and his wife is right here to prove it. His wife looks a little shocked but quickly composes herself. She then marches right up to me and slaps me saying, I didn't raise my daughter to steal. They turn, still pulling me along, to leave. The whole time I am utterly horrified and didn't really say anything. At this point my aunt comes from the back room and is utterly shocked. She starts screaming to let go of me. They start yelling that they are just disciplining their daughter. My aunt screams back that I'm her niece and they are going to jail. The guy quickly let go of me and literally run for the exit. The cashier lady followed them out yelling at them. Turned out the cops had just pulled up outside and arrested them. I stayed in the back room as I was freaking out. But my aunt talked to the cops and pressed charges. They charged with assult, attempted kidnapping, theft (they took their unpaid items with them when they ran) and something else that I cant remember. I know the guy got 18 months in jail and a fine and the woman got a huge fine. Edit: I think that the other was for having an illegal drug on them.

ravenkult posted:Some niche content: An author on Facebook spun a tale about getting assaulted behind a Best Buy a few years ago. Linking it because it's long af. Eh. A third of the way through that I ended up being as annoyed with the author as I was with the liar. Like ok Nancy Drew well done for spending a productive morning phoning "every Best Buy in a 100 mile radius" so that you could call out a random attention seeker on facebook who owes people "an emotional debt" Sorry did I say call out? I meant let her carry on with her lies while saying absolutely nothing to her directly but assuring your readers that you were right except hey you might be wrong who knows huh youd never call out a woman who had been attacked but you were definitely right and everyone else secretly congratulated you in private messages. Wait, is this meta stdh? Is the author the pathological liar allp along?!?! TO THE PHONES NtotheTC has a new favorite as of 21:41 on Feb 5, 2019 |

When my nephew was a toddler he grabbed a mandarin at the supermarket and threw it right in the middle of some old guy's bum as he was bending down for some potatoes. Nothing really to do with this I just like to reminisce because the geezer was all "who the heck threw a mandarin at my bum  ".

I actually had kind of the opposite happen to me a few times when I was a young bloke working at petrol stations. Someone would ask if we carried whatever product, I'd say, no, and they'd ask it any other places in the area had it. I'd say, "Sorry I have no idea" and they'd lose their poo poo at me. How dare I not know what products are stocked at our competitors/their current deals/prices
