Big Grunty Secret posted:The STDH part of that lady cop story is that she would arrest the guy instead of just waving her badge and having him shut up immediately. The story doesn't specify that she's on duty so I assume that instead of going wherever she was going, she'd rather cuff this dude, call it in, and then go to write a report for it, not to mention the specious grounds for arrest. The guy was being verbally abusive, but it's hard to charge for a statement so vague as "I'll kill you" (not technically assault) Uttering death threats is a criminal offense in a lot of places. "I'll kill you" definitely qualifies.

I think I've struck gold. http://www.reddit.com/r/ProRevenge/ quote:My wife recently started a job at the check-in desk at a downtown 5 star hotel. One of her shift supervisors is a relatively young Lebenese guy, lets call him Douche Nozle (DN). DN is a typical Jersey Shore looking wannabe. He's got greasy hair, immaculately groomed 3 day growth and tanned skin. The funny thing is he is also pudgy and overweight so the whole look just comes across as sad. I've met him a few times and he is smarmy, arrogant and treats his staff like poo poo. quote:Might fit in here as a separate story... twas a comment first. ...ok these might have happened but holy poo poo, can adults be that petty?

Broken English is what it sounds like when someone has only a basic level of knowledge of the language. They can express ideas but do not follow grammar or syntax rule. It happens at some point when you're trying to learn a language, there's nothing racist about it unless you're stereotyping that everyone from X speaks like that. I spoke broken English when I was 10, I speak broken Spanish now. I run into a heck of a lot of people who speak broken French. I'm sure there's a more politically correct way to say it ("their English isn't very good", "he spoke English with difficulty", whatever) but it's a short and convenient way of putting it. What that guy meant was probably "thickly accented", because it's hard to gently caress up "gently caress you" otherwise.

Yeah if I'm not thinking in the language I'm speaking, I'll use words from the wrong language, weird phrasing or similar-sounding words. In some cases, that includes words that have completely different meanings depending on language... For example, I've used "Désagrément" when I meant "disagreement", the French word means "an unpleasant thing", whereas the English word means, well, a disagreement. That said, it doesn't take that long to switch languages, unless you have to switch back and forth constantly, so the story... Well it's lame and it probably didn't happen, because that's the kind of things you don't even remember at the end of the day. I don't know how interpreters do it, honestly.

Toriori posted:I totally believe this because I had a prof who gave us a very stern warning to never put her as a reference unless she already granted it, and that she would gladly trash talk you if she got an unexpected reference call. Over the phone is one thing, in writing is asking to get sued / disciplined. Personally I have a hard time buying that a university prof with a J.D., when threatened with a lawsuit, wouldn't just refer the threatening party to the legal department.

Seems like a pretty sound assumption that the cake decorator at bumfuck groceries, USA, wouldn't know the Korean alphabet. But no retail worker ever has ever said "I'll never doubt a customer again." Edit: phone autocorrected decorator to operator. Now I need a career change, I want to be a cake operator.

Pay me." Hey it costs nothing to try, and you know there's a schmuck somewhere who just wrote it off as a charity donation, and went on living thinking about how he'd done God's work.

phosdex posted:I don't really understand what happened here. On a related note when I was young I worked at a dominoes where we gave free pizza to any cops. I think it was supposed to be sort of a bribe so they wouldn't hassle drivers making questionable traffic decisions. Then I worked 3rd shift at a gas station and cops got drinks for free. Basically I assume cops get free poo poo everywhere. The common thinking is that it encourages cops to hang around your business which, to people outside D&D, is seen as a good thing. It's banned in some jurisdiction, for obvious reasons. It probably still goes on.
