      Family used to own an RV Dealership. Once witnessed my father take a customer into the room where our customer satisfaction awards were lined up. He told the guy, “Sir, our dealership has a 97% satisfaction rating but I think you belong to the 3% and should find another place to go.”

      Ngl this is a really neat idea. I don’t swear myself, but I know that a lot of people around, idk that’s just how they roll lol. So I think this would be a good way to discourage customers from being a Karen, and it could allow for some great bonding between coworkers of sharing their “F-off” moments over the years lol. Like I feel like if I ever do make a business and hire employees, I might legit make this a thing or something similar

After the film, one girl asked the teacher how, if Isaac Newton had lived in the early 18'th century, he could be in a movie, since movies didn't get invented until 200 years later.

    About 5 years ago, I saw my friend and his sister walking down the street outside my house, and we got chatting. It was a very hot day, so I invited them in for a cold drink. When I got the ice cube tray out to ice the drinks, my friend's sister said "How do you cut the ice into such smooth cubes to fit in the tray?". Thinking she was joking, I laughed. But she was dead serious. So I said, in disbelief that I was actually having to explain this to a grown adult, "You pour liquid water into the tray and then freeze it". She looked at me like I was speaking an alien language. 10 minutes of agonised explanation later, the truth finally comes out. This woman, in her mid 20s, has absolutely no idea that ice is, in fact, frozen water!

    Have shared this story before and will undoubtedly will share it again because it was the most idiotic thing I have ever heard.
    At the time Australia was going through a huge fire season as the land was parched due to drought, lives and property had been lost. Driving down a road flanked by the railway line on one side and a natural bushland area on the other which had high, barb wire topped fencing, I noticed a small amount of smoke curling up among the trees, then saw flames. Having no phone I rushed to nearby shops , less than a minute away to call the fire brigade, deciding to buy some lunch when I was there. Within minutes a fire truck screamed by, someone wondered where they were going so I mentioned that I had called them to a fire in the bush area. I heard a scoff behind me, a woman said she had seen the fire from the train and that it was only a small one so why would I waste the fire dept’s time by reporting it. Her reasoning was that I should have waited until it was bigger before reporting it so the fire dept had something worth their time. Called her an idiot, that area backed onto a school and houses, it didn’t matter how small a fire was, a single match can burn down a house. Drove by a few minutes later, the firemen had put the fire out using hand tools, the truck was still fully equipped to battle any emergency situations.

    There are people who are allergic to raw peanuts but not to all processed peanuts depending on how it's processed. Peanut allergies are from 3 proteins in the nuts and some people are only allergic to one or two of these. These proteins can be altered during the production of peanuts into something a bit different like a butter, oil, etc. which then makes it safe to eat for some people with raw peanut allergies. So these people may not have been lying.

    For the peanut one, I've actually heard stories from people who aren't allergic to peanuts but _claim_ they have a mild allergy because they dislike the texture or taste, and just saying "I'm allergic" gets people to leave them alone about it faster. Obviously that's not what happened in the original post, but it might explain the grandparent liking peanut butter despite an allergy. Moral of the story, if someone says they don't like or can't have a specific food, don't push it.

      To be fair, I had French and English at school for years. Didn't learn a thing, had bad grades etc. I was mostly confused by the way we moved through the grammar. Why do I need to know what a past tense present perfect is? A year or two after I graduated from school I started reading stories in English on my laptop with google translate open in a second tab. I translated every word I didn't know and my vocabulary grew. Then tv shows with subtitles, getting a feeling for the language. Now I'm fluent, can think in English without translating it and had classes in English at Uni. For me that natural way of learning works best. My next language to learn is Swedish, I already bought the Harry Potter books and audio books. Guess I'll start that project when procrastinating my masters thesis ;)

    I worked on a small job site where we were building a French drain, most of my crew buddies were idiots, fools or just plain lazy.
    As we finished diggings around the house, we started to dig out the the drain. Half way through the yard, we all heard a faint clang sound and as soon as the line came out “we’ve hit a rock sir” nearly every man on the site grabbed a hammer or pickaxe (the rock in question was roughly the size of an overgrown watermelon). After a solid 30 minutes of these boys trying to smash this rock with their strength led to barely a crack (this was because the yard was faintly wet from a few days ago and made of dirt, any impact made by these bozo’s was dispersed into the ground). So when the boys walked away, I grabbed a pickaxe, and swung it underneath the rock. With a heave and a ho, I felt it loosen, some of the smarter boys realized what I was doing and grabbed shovel’s and picks to dig around it. Then Mickey came walking up (Mickey isn’t his real name), Mickey asked if he could help us, I said “sure, do you need a tool?” He waves me off and does reach for the pickaxe, shove or hammer?
    NO HE REACHES FOR THE FRESHLY BOUGHT AXE! The one we’ve been using to chop roots, and what does he do with this axe? He swings it like a hammer on to the rock trying to break it like a Neanderthal! He got 3 swings before I yanked the axe out of his hands and yelled at him “What the fuck are you doing, WHY ARE YOU USING A WOOD AXE TO BREAK STONE!?” And what he said next I still remember all these years later “*Its a tool, a tool for any other job*”
    What pissed me off is that Mickey had this constant face of “I don’t know where I am and I don’t care”, he was lazy, a dick and just plain around stupid.

    In a Discord conversation, someone asked about my accent and I explained that I'm German. His reply: "You're a nazi for saying that because Germany doesn't exist anymore." He said that to my face, and he was dead serious.
    Why? He believed that after WW2, Germany was disbanded and the territory shared among the allied forces. The nazis won't accept this and they're trying to reinstate Germany, so they make up fake IDs and documents and stuff and claim they're from a country that, in truth, no longer exists. Apparently my whole life is a lie.

      As someone who does believe in God, the funny part about this is that the whole point of Christianity and many religions in general is that you are not supposed to need proof of God or whatever concepts there are otherwise, but instead have _faith_ in the ideas. That believing is what achieves the goals.
      Now, obviously, I am not telling you to believe in God, but this comment just made me laugh.
      Side note: I follow science far more than any aspect of religion, but again, like I said, the two occupy different realms. Science is for the physical world of objective concepts that can have evidence gathered, religion is for the non-physical world of subjective concepts that cannot be proven. In my mind, they do not conflict because they do not overlap. Admittedly, my views of religion are also quite different than the more avid followers.

I was two days in and already having to watch what I was spending because of the currency fluctuations.
    I was on the bus to my next town -- I like backpacking with a suitcase -- and looking out the window at the road sign distance to the destination. I caught myself thinking 'I wonder what the mile to kilometre exchange rate is today?' in all seriousness...and then realized what I'd thought and kicked myself so hard my shins were never the same again...

However, she CAN eat scampi...because most scampi sold in the UK is fish, monkfish tail to be exact, that simply resembles prawn.
    (I love both fish and prawns, the latter because they're so quick to cook if they're small so I can do a stir fry quickly with them. I asked my mum whether they'd count as fish during Lent...and she said that she thought they did, and for her, eating prawns would definitely be a penance! So for Good Friday I cooked King Prawn Alfredo...and ate the lot myself.)
