Winter Stormer posted:It sounded like a salesman trying to get his foot in the door, to me Not that this happened, but whether you're the front desk staff or the company owner, you can see these sleazeballs coming a mile away. You just shut them down and tell them to go away; you don't stand there berating them for mistaking you for a receptionist. Especially if they don't immediately identify themselves and then refuse to do so when asked.

ElGroucho posted:I'm not sure being a 19 year old trust fund "entrepreneur" is anything to show off Anyone who self-identifies as an entrepreneur is either into MLM or trying to look important/professional/successful, or both. People without attention-seeking tendencies just say things like "I run a small restaurant" or "I started an investment group" or "I'm a small business owner."

chitoryu12 posted:Has anyone ever figured out a definite meaning of "entrepreneur" in terms of when people call themselves that? It feels like they're people who just try stupid scams and get-rich-quick schemes, or try to sell some kind of branded muscle cream. It used to mean "enterprising, motivated person taking on the challenge of starting his or her own business," but MLMs and gurus stole it and added "who is better than everyone not starting a business/in my MLM because those losers just don't want it enough to succeed and thus won't ever drive fancy cars or take lavish vacations or be their own bosses, they'll just keep working their 9 to 5 until they die."

Whitlam posted:holy hell do people make it easy for the police to lay charges these days. I'm a radio journalist, so I talk to the police every drat day about who got picked up for drunken disorderly last night, which "frequent flyers" got brought in, etc. Anecdotal, sure, but yeah based on what I've heard, it's easier than ever. This one guy they'd been keeping an eye on put an expensive camera system in his house to keep an eye out for cops, as if outward-facing cameras in every window aren't a dead giveaway or anything. He could keep an eye on his stash from his phone wherever he went, so he felt safe. Cops picked him up two blocks away from his house while he was walking to the gas station, where he was supposed to meet a buyer. He apparently didn't see them coming because he was checking his phone to see if cops were raiding his house

trickybiscuits posted:An reverse viewpoint: My employer shared a fake email from me on Facebook. Even journalists don't fact check these days, so good luck getting the social media manager at a university to spend five minutes calling to verify that you really sent that. The obvious answer here is to cook up an STDH from the student to a fake student bragging about having cheated on an exam, upload it to social media under a false name from an off-campus computer, then link the professor the STDH. Duh. If you're really peeved, instead of cheating on an exam, use the STDH screenshot to implicate him or her in embarrassing, illicit, or illegal behavior

life is killing me posted:The point being that Dad could've just talked to his son like all our dads did when they found out we'd been browsing porn like normal adolescent males, instead of writing a note. One look, a raised eyebrow, and "So I used your laptop earlier today..." and a few seconds of silence to let it sink in is way easier than getting paper and pen out to leave a note that granny might find, but then again I'm sure plenty of dads take the time to leave notes for their kids, photograph them, then upload them to social media

moerketid posted:STDH taken too far: Speaking of STDH caught in the act, what ever happened to "I asked the manager, he said this is a fried rat" guy and that gal who shot a selfie video in her car, tearfully recounting how she just comforted a clerk who'd gotten berated at walmart? IIRC rat dude refused to show reporters the "rat" and selfie gal doubled the gently caress down even after security camera footage proved she was an attention-seeking idiot, but that's the last I heard about either of them.

Sisal Two-Step posted:idgi either but these stories are always weirdly popular among the tumblr/imgur crews. Well, we can be sure that at least one thing about this story is true: kid's definitely lying about his age. Also in grad school I barely had time to take a poo poo let alone play WoW or browse Tumblr

There are some episodes of that show that I just can't listen to, and that is one of them. Eeeuugh. Others, though, like the MLP one, I go back to on a regular basis. "Yeah, I took a lock of my own hair, some candles, and cinnamon and said some magic words and a pony appeared in front of me! Really, guys! Really!"

More and more people are figuring out that you can write poo poo like this and then post a screencap on social media, calling for outrage. It's so goddamn annoying. And it's not just the alt-right screaming "SJW LIEberals!" either, I've seen this crap flying around from all directions. It's a formula for instant likes and shares in your carefully-curated hug garden, and idiots can't resist making it and/or commenting/sharing/retweeting/whatever it.

I believe this part happened: "Should my son go to art school?" "gently caress no, the little poo poo doesn't listen to anything we're trying to teach him. All he does is draw animes, and he's not even very good at that. Trust me on this one--it would be a waste of money to send him to art school. Seriously."
