Mr. Belpit posted:For anyone who didn't follow the last thread, the Not Always X series of bullshit publishers make very heavy edits to their submissions to make them more cookie-cutter same-y. The editors (tbh probably just one guy) are apparently from the UK, so stories submitted from the US by Americans will occasionally have incongruous Britishisms. The example from this story isn't the most egregious, but still. That's good to know. I thought there were just a lot of weeaboos but for British culture that submitted stuff.

Why even bother with some dumb poo poo like that? Your point could be made without the "A real person sent me texts like this" and also, how hard is it to come up with harassing texts? Thathe text is like if an alien crash landed and the first person he met was a Klan member and this is the first time he's ever tried to be racist.

1. Most of what kids say is weird and they don't care. 2. Kids don't care about skin color until parents tell them to. From my experience.

As if it wasn't obnoxious enough to have tropes they are examples of, they have to also include ones that don't apply or that they subvert. I would want troopers to gently caress off forever if the poo poo they wrote wasn't so stupid it was funny.

I feel like that I might have believed it as a teacher's attempt to encourage what seems to be a pretty bad student but any teacher who can't be bothered to write out "because" can suck a duck.

The worst part of that kids obnoxious bullshit is they come so close to self awareness at the end but then they say the most unique award was given and it was the last time it was flattering. No, it wasn't. That's always a bullshit award for the kids who didn't get anything else so the teachers have to make something else up to protect that kids feelings.

Usually I'm pretty lenient when someone is exaggerating or making a joke but that's not even funny. It's just a portrait of a woman on the edge.

BioEnchanted posted:Now that you mention it I do remember seeing those kind of Makeup counters in Debenhams. I guess I just never knew how they worked. Now that makeup has been mentioned, it makes a lot more sense. I was picturing a department store with a bunch of different larger products and how ridiculous the whole system would be.

life is killing me posted:It's not the phrase itself, which I've heard before and even said. It's just the STDH expecting me to believe that a child said that. Just another STDH like all the others where the most cringe-worthy things to me are when parents want people to believe that their children say things that adults say as if the child understands what they're saying. For some reason it struck me as very anachronistic, like whoever wrote that just watched some Shirley Temple movie and was basically writing her as his daughter.

I actually kind of believe that one because they didn't spell out everything that happened. In convenience stores and places like Family Dollar, they often only have one employee at a time so if the boss was supposed to come in and replace the person but didn't show up or call to say what's happening, they could just lock the store and leave a note that is directed towards a specific person and not have to say "I came in and worked 6-8 hours and then waited for you".

No, for some reason, sometimes a coupon that's supposed to be two dollars off of a five dollar item works for the dollar version of the item and then a coupon queen Facebook group will spread that info around. Most cashiers don't notice or care but if the store catches on, they'll start checking coupons. It's one of the reasons I'm glad I got out of retail.

I'm pretty sure there's a horror story that starts like this but they start bringing him teeth and bones and more birds come and pretty soon he's getting hundreds of small human teeth and bones.
