The thing that drives me crazy about these kind of stories is if it really happened, the customer going nuts over nothing is clearly mentally handicapped. Well done, you just man handled and kicked someone who probably has the mental age of a child.

What do people who think a mediocre spaghetti dinner is romantic and fancy eat on the regular? This is a serious question. I'm not a great chef and it's not like I plate my meals, but what do you usually eat that makes that special?

That part reminded me of a forum drama I heard about years ago, probably through the now defunct Fandom_Wank. Some girl who was apparently a big-name-fan claimed she was dying of a disease so rare that it didn't even have a name, and at one point her "sister" (rather obviously the pseuicide poster herself) claimed that the doctor had calculated that this patient with the ultra-rare nameless disease had exactly one hour to live. And the poor sad girl was watching the minutes tick away and not wanting to live anymore because no one on the forum believed her... At least no one demanded photos of feet.

Didn't a bunch of similar drama occur on Tumblr just last year, too? I think a bunch of people claimed they'd attempted suicide over anonymous hate, and then tried to dismiss these posts as the work of hackers.

I don't think we get the kinds of coupons in Canada that you do in the US. I've never seen any combination of coupons here that could make it cheaper to buy 120 of something than just a few.

Heard my neighbors wife calling for help, that her husband was beating her. Walked into my living room, pulled my hunting shotgun off the wall, threw in a few shells and walked out there door across the street but expecting to do anything. As I walked up to the end of the driveway I saw him on top of her strangling her. I racked a shell and pointed it strait at his head about 6ft away and yelled as loud as I could to get the neighborhoods attention.GET THE gently caress OF HER OR I'LL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!We started yelling at each other, him mostly denying what he was doing and threatening to get his gun. He kept stepping towards me, I kept walking backwards to keep my distance. One of my neighbors ran up and talked him down all while I kept the gun pointed at him. For a a few seconds I had the safety off and my finger on the trigger, I almost killed him, and if my neighbor hadn't stopped the situation I'm sure I would have.The sheriff and state police arrived, all my neighbors are paranoid hippies that though i was going to jail for what I did, but the officers were happy that I intervened and that I held my composure.After all was over I unloaded my gun and realized that I had reversed my usual self defense rounds. I usually load so my first shot is a bird shot shell, then buck, then a slug. The slug was racked first, I would have literally blown his head clean off, yikes!TL;DR almost killed my neighbor found him strangling his wife, I wish I had, there is no place in this world for men like him.

I had a short-lived friend in the neighborhood back in middle school or 9th grade (can't remember how long he lasted). He was a few years younger than me and one of only two friends I had within walking distance, so he came over to my house fairly often to play video games and stuff like that. He had a chronic problem with telling fantastic stories about himself and his relatives which could never possibly be true. The only one I remember with any clarity was that he said his dad drove down to the Mexican border to shoot a bunch of badass privately owned weapons like an AA-12 (he conveniently couldn't remember what shotgun it was until I prodded him).

I don't think he was autistic or anything, or really had any disorders beyond probably ADHD. He was just a lonely kid trying to make himself seem cool.

(Which connects up to the math story, actually; basic math tells you that nothing is bigger than infinity, but advanced math can acknowledge that there are multiple infinities, and so I wonder if ∞ counts as a digit. ∞^∞^∞ is a lot bigger than 9^9^9.)

I just don't understand why people feel the need to tell these obviously bullshit stories when it accomplishes nothing. Many of them are trying to seem enlightened and on the side of social justice but they just come off as lying douchebags who are desperate for someone to approve of them.

I think in many cases people realize the stories are fake, but treat them as real as part of an unspoken "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" agreement. Like, if everyone in a social group constantly believes and compliments each other, they'll be believed and complimented in turn. This sort of faux-kindness seems especially common in the south, though I'm sure it exists in Facebook groups for housewives and what have you elsewhere as well.

You might be talking about melted-snowflake, a sadly defunct Tumblr by a former otherkin. That sounds exactly like one of the articles they wrote.
