Buggiezor posted:My grandma who just started using facebook a month ago just shared this from some other random page. It's one I've read before several places including a "Forward this email to 20 friends" A teacher I had once gave this same basic lecture, only it was about handling work duties so there wasn't any beer involved. She also used large rocks instead of golf balls.

FrozenVent posted:Well maybe if you were in that particular phase of puberty... My schools had a "buddy" program where sophomores were paired with kindergarteners. The sophomores would come to the kindergarten class every once in a while (I want to say once a month, but I can't remember) and spend time with their kindergarten buddy. I think it was so the teenagers could learn empathy, and young children certainly enjoy it when a "grown-up" pays attention to them. It is plausible that this young man was presenting as part of his own school's "buddy" program.

Missing Name posted:Did that John Galt story ever make it through the filter? I don't need to look to know that it didn't make it. It was taken from one of the most famous novels of the 20th century. It has the phrase "Who is John Galt?" in it, used in the way that the characters in the novel use it.

phosdex posted:I always find it humorous the way young redditors perceive "older" people. If you're older than 30, then you basically grew up in like the 1600's, can't figure out technology and treat women like poo poo. If that guy were 60, he would have grown up right in the '60s during the counter-culture revolution. I dunno, a lot of people in the counter-culture were pretty sexist: lots of second-wave feminist organizations were founded by women who split off from New Left groups that wouldn't give them a platform, and there was this whole idea that being sexually liberated meant being willing to have sex with anyone who requested it (if you wouldn't, then you must have been a "prude" or had "hang-ups" about sex). It doesn't prove the story happened, but I can easily see a man in his 60s believing that groping is a perfectly harmless - even friendly! - practice.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Not once during that story did sombody try to stand up to the guy, or burst in applause, people don't get married or start singing Bohemian Rhapsody. And we never find out what the guy was showing his date on the phone that made her "physically sick." A lesser writer wouldn't be able to resist having the narrator discover what it was, but leaving that detail out makes the story more realistic while leaving a bit of mystery - we're left to imagine just what was on the phone, and whatever we imagine would be much grosser than the real thing.

Dis posted:...in which they don't even star. I guess that's to make it seem more authentic? The Cool Boss - the kind who backs up the protagonist in the face of nasty customers - is kind of a stock supporting character in STDH. Managers will generally side with customers over staff even when the customer is in the wrong, so a boss who does the opposite is a beloved fantasy among retail workers. In that particular story, the narrator simply promotes (ha) his Cool Boss character from supporting cast to main character.

Khazar-khum posted:Thing is, stores do cut off customers. My idiot stepmother would buy the same thing in several sizes instead of trying it on at the store, then bring the ones that didn't fit back. It got so bad some stores refused her business. I said that managers generally side with customers, not always. Companies will often go a long way to keep customers satisfied, but when it gets to the point that pleasing a customer is more trouble than it's worth (e.g. your stepmom's returns bullshit), then of course the company will cut them off. The trouble for most retail workers is that their employer's policies almost always favor the customers over them, so it takes some really bad behavior to cross that line. Here, to make my  up to you, have the current most popular story on Not Always Working:Not Always Working posted:The Icing On The Cake Is The Icing On The Cake That'll teach me for doubting a customer.

bringmyfishback posted:...what. Scoff all you want, but lots of PoCs experience problems when they're "shopping while black." Usually SWB involves retail workers or security guards carefully watching PoCs in the store to make sure they don't steal anything, but it can take lots of other forms. As the name implies, it's often - but not always - black or African-American patrons facing this kind of discrimination. In one study of black people living in black neighborhoods in New York and Philadelphia, 35% of respondents reported that it happens to them "consistently" when they shop at white-owned businesses. If retail workers "consistently" mistreated you, do you think you would necessarily assume that one saying "No, we can't accept that return" is on the up-and-up?

This story comes to you from Disboards.com, where you can discuss Disney World vacations in obsessive detail.Funniest Memory On A Ride posted:One time, my friend on I were on Expedition Everest [a Himalaya- and Yeti-themed roller coaster] and there was a LARGE group of girls in front of us. They were SO excited to go on the "nice, calm, relaxing train ride." I don't know what made them think it was just a train ride in the mountains. Anyways, they were enjoying the ride at the beginning where it's kind of relaxing. Then when we went up the big lift to the mountain, you could tell they were starting to get nervous. When we reached the broken tracks, that's where the fun started to begin. THEY. WERE. SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER!!!! They just got even louder when we went backwards!!! And they were like that for the rest of the ride!!!! When we were about to go back in the mountain where the yeti is, one girl yelled "IS IT OVER?!?!? IS IT OVER?!?!?!?!" Then when they saw the yeti, that was the loudest scream of all....... Me and my friend were cracking and laughing so hard the entire ride! It was definitely the funniest ride memory for me! Yes, this group failed to hear screams coming from the ride, failed to read the posted sign warning that Expedition Everest is a "high-speed, roller coaster-type train ride . . . that includes sharp turns and sudden drops, traveling both forwards and backwards through dark, winding tunnels," and failed to connect the dots when they had to submit to seat restraints. Indeed, "I don't know what made them think it was just a train ride in the mountains." Pththya-lyi has a new favorite as of 17:10 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Celery Face posted:They hear stereotypes/watch stupid movies where it's made out to be a superpower that makes you the smartest person on the face of the earth but socially awkward. This includes regular people but turbo nerds are different in that they think the terrible things about being autistic, like having a lot of trouble making connections with people, are no big deal. About that story, I actually am on the spectrum and I don't talk like a robot or have met any other autistic people who do either. Whoever wrote that is just pretentious as hell. Yeah, that's basically it. "I'm socially awkward, just like Mr. Spock and Data from Star Trek! That means I'm smart like them, too!" Plus, who even needs friends when you have a genius brain to depend on? (The answer is everybody, everyone needs to depend on others at least some of the time.)

Probably my worst scars come from skinning my knees really badly. I walked briskly out of my local pizza parlor carrying a few boxes and talking to a friend, so I didn't notice the sign the parlor put in the alleyway until I'd already tripped over it. The outer layer of skin was actually ripped from my knees, with a chunk hanging from a strip of flesh on each side.  When we got home, I scrubbed the wounds until they bled again, then I pressed the skin-chunks back on and bandaged everything up. The pizza was okay.
