The silliest part of that story is how easy it is to disprove it from the get-go. Regina Spektor has nearly no Russian accent whatsoever; her family left Moscow when she was 9. (And what the hell does "slightly thick" mean?) Her music isn't anything that someone would want playing softly in the corner of a crowded bar, it's rather quirky and her voice is fairly unusual. Her "Russian-English"? That's just gross. Also, again, just YouTube any Regina Spektor interview. You can see that she speaks perfect, fluent, natural English. I have a hard time imagining a Russian person unable to pronounce most eastern European names, anyways. This is just someone's fanfiction.

ibntumart posted:There's non-tomato ketchup? Like others have said, yes. I grew up eating banana catsup pretty often, but I was pretty surprised to see the variety of sauces that a quick googling shows. I never would have guessed that the original recipes from the 1600's or whatever seem to be mostly fish and lemon sauces. I was also surprised to see that literally no US catsup manufacturer spells it as "catsup", which is how at least some of the bottles were labeled back when I was learning to read.

If a person gets outed, everyone'll know about it and have an opinion about it.

"I check him out..." Heh, I'll bet you do. But yeah, none of that ever happened. Also, the details kinda read like the guy Clark Kents his sweater open to reveal a Catholic priest's collar. It's always seemed to me that the Bible belt assholes were Southern Baptists, no? Although I guess maybe it could be that this story is like an ad for the Catholic church. Bonus: super colonialist/racist/"magical negro" shit_that_didn't_happen.txt: quote:An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each other´s hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ”UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?” silencekit has a new favorite as of 16:44 on May 16, 2014 |

Postal Parcel posted:Ahem. The trouble with that is that it's Yahoo news, who probably read the article on SA, failed to parse it for irony and then posted it. And then other "legitimate" news sources read the Yahoo article and go "Well they wrote a story about it so it must be true!" and copy it verbatim. But I could be wrong. I hope I'm not because otherwise it means Ian McKellan is being a giant blubbering baby in this case.

Not Always Right/Working isn't the only place to find STDH workplace stories! Jezebel "true" restaurant horror stories can pay off as well:And then we smoked cigars with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum posted:I was working at a beach bar in NYC in the summer of 2006. The job was hell — we would work 12-14 hour shifts because the place would open at 11am or noon and turn into a semi rave at the end of the night. We wouldn't get paid for weeks at a time, and the pay itself was terrible. This is sadly what the writer imagines as badass posted:One Friday night during my years waiting tables, I picked up a shift for a co-worker. I usually didn't work Fridays because they were amateur nights — lots and lots of White Zinfandel and people who only go out once or twice a year. I was about 30 minutes into my shift when I was triple sat with two 4-tops and a 6-top. I got the drink orders from one of the 4s and the 6 and told the other 4 that I would be right back to get theirs. As I was coming back from the bar with a tray full of drinks, this lady sitting in another section grabbed me by my sleeve and pulled me back to her table, almost spilling all the drinks in the process. I don't know about the rest of you, but my pet peeve is "YOU DON'T TOUCH ME," so I'm already starting to see red. I ask the lady "Yes ma'am, what can I do for you?" and she says, in a very loud voice, "MY CHICKEN IS BAD!" Like a boss (that was made up for this story) posted:One night when I was working Grand Prix weekend (during which I opened the restaurant at 7 AM, and wouldn't leave until 4 AM the next day, coming back the next morning to do it all again — $2000 in three days made it worthwhile to me), a newer girl I had been chatting with earlier in the night came up, shaken about something that had just happened. Apparently, she had been counting out her cash for the night in the back of the kitchen, and someone she thought was a random guy, as she had never seen him before, came up and swiped several bills from her. Shocked, she chased after him, yelling "Sir! Sir!" until he turned around and screamed "I'm your loving boss." Stunned, she went back to the kitchen to finish closing her cash. Afterwards, she went to talk to one of the managers, to tell him what happened, and also to make sure she wouldn't get in trouble (the place was notoriously fickle with its staff). As she was telling the manager her story, the owner came up to her from behind, put her in an headlock/chokehold with his left arm, and wrapped his right arm around her and stuck his thumb in her mouth. He leaned in and said "That's right, I'm your loving boss." She was understandably incredibly upset. I will forever think of her fondly, because she took the entirety of her cash (as in, the whole amount, from all her sales) that night and left, never to be heard from again. My hero!

So from an expat forum I frequent:quote:So, I slept with my bosses wife last night, now what? quote:We met today for lunch. Afterwards we went to a 7 days hotel, which has this 4 hours for 100 rmb room rental. She told me it was the first time she ever 'made love' in the shower. I feel kind of strange by the fact that she referred to sex as 'making love.' In any case, I am looking around for a new job. Somebody called him out: quote:Wake up from your dreams and go out and find a girl in real life. And the OP's response: quote:I've had two posts where you have done nothing but talk $hit, where are your stories you dirty old expat? Where are the notches on your bedpost?
