What the gently caress is a k-close?

A kiss, I guess?

Can we add something about this to the OP? Something like "Was the person who wrote this trying to convince people that this is a thing that really, actually happened for real, or is it just a lovely joke? If it's obviously a joke, don't post it here." That along with greentext stories being fake seemed to pop up every other page on the old thread.

Better a few greentext stories than nonstop NAR/NAW/NAAnything.

Ok, I know nothing about waiting tables or how they get their tips besides putting cash in their pockets/aprons/whatever so I have to ask, how exactly does this person walk out with less money than they started because the customers didn't tip?

I guess because some restaurants make waitstaff put their tips into a pot for the whole staff. If you don't get tipped, your wages get garnished since the chefs still need to get money for it. I have no idea how true that is but I'm sure I've heard it crop up somewhere before. Probably last thread.

Why the gently caress would you ever phrase a sentence like that?

My course is pretty competitive, so we can arrive late but if we don't turn up or if we arrive after the register has gone around the room and been collected, eventually we get collared and asked to buck up. Not seen it happen yet, but those are the rules we were told at the start of the course.

edit: Here's a collection of things that never happened from Tumblr!

Rocking the sportsbra look to get friends.
Playing video games with strangers that walk into your home!
Grandma is aware of "epic burns".
Drunk guy sings to sky.
Disneyworld: Home of chocolate syrup.
Crab queen.
Book in classroom, ask NPC for help.
Lobster king.
Oh just gently caress off, Tumblr.

I feel like most of her fans and half of her trolls are just puppet accounts. See also: her open letter to her son.

Can I get a link to that? I don't really feel like having her website open on my computer.

Here it is.

It's blatantly obvious that this isn't to her son. It's to everybody else about her son because nobody gave a poo poo about her kid except to be worried about his safety. Her kid was not famous. She was "famous" for being a loving loon. The idea of keeping a diary or something for your kids when they're older is actually nice but I don't think it should be kept in the same place as your made up stories about ComCast.

Jesus loving Christ. Started reading, saw the scroll bar. How do you even manage to write that much poo poo? I hope some of it is comments.

Edit: Yeah. That's pretty much all comments. Not sure which is worse right now.

I know that some teachers prefer kids to be a relatively clean slate when it comes to any kind of learning because sometimes parents teach things in a backwards kind of way, or teach incorrect pronunciations. My sister dislikes getting the "well-read" kids too because they apparently are really snotty during class about things they already know, which can be disruptive. I learnt to read two years early though so I can't complain.

Bullshit. Nobody talks to each other on British public transport.

We do in the wild North, but we also don't talk "haughtily" because we're all common as poo poo.

I can believe telling the kid that Santa is watching them, hell I once told a kid that the CCTV camera on the ceiling was Santa's, but no loving way would a kid listen that intently. Even I got the child equivalent of a "gently caress you".

The best part is her implication that they were in a theatre full of other children, yet hers were the worst behaved. Her two year old was apparently bouncing off the seats. No poo poo someone told your kids to shut the gently caress up, lady!

Dental Goon is probably just exaggerating on the blood part - "It was like a gallon of blood!" - but definite stdh on the chair arms.

My arms are plenty fat, but that doesn't make them strong. The gym does that.

As an aside, apparently people in Scotland say "aye" just as much as we think they do. I was there this summer and went to a Celtic game, the guys behind me in line for tickets had the following conversation:

1: "Aye, did he really?"
2: "Aye"
1: "Aye?"
2: "Aye"

I just loved how they could basically have a whole conversation just using "aye" by slightly changing the way it was said.

We do it in the wild North of England too. It's what helps me blend in among the locals of Edinburgh.
