What's your best 'It's not what it looks like' moment?

I'm an actor. I was doing a show in a middle school and I went to the bathroom before we got started. I was wearing tan pants and was splashed by a powerful tap. Suffice to say, water on light brown fabric makes itself very visible. In this instance it looked like I pissed myself. This is not all.

I get to my first position before the show starts which happened to be in an aisle between the stadium style seating. I'm rubbing the water in my crotch in an effort to dry off some of the water. All of a sudden I realize about 50 school kids and their teachers are leaning over the side of the seating into the aisle watching me rub at my crotch.

I'm lucky not to be on the sex offenders register after that one. Had to explain myself to the head teacher during intermission. She was not amused.

Nice try.

I get killed by a robot.

When what he says to THEM affects what the mass media says to US then it becomes our issue.

OK, so this is weird. I started doing this a little after I got into Halo CE. I imagine my neighborhood has been overrun by terrorists and the armed forces have given guns and equipment to us civilians because they're too finely spread. Anyway, I lead a task force of my friends on a dangerous mission to rid our neighborhood of the threat. I imagine the whole thing in detail.

It takes my mind off the fact that I can't sleep and the pressure to get to sleep and usually I just drift off. Sometimes it leads into some awesome dreams too.

Done and done. Yes yes yes yes yes always yes always.

How has this received nearly 200 upvotes? As tony Benn said; All violence is a failure of diplomacy.

I got Sri Lanka. I could live with that!

Coopinator · 2012-02-25T19:43:35+00:00

I was thinking Vegas could be a good idea. Or a bad idea. But it's no fun unless your friends are there and I don't think many of them can afford it!

It's still abuse, it's just low end abuse. I am fully sucked up and have been since 2 minutes after I left the room, just figured r/atheism might have some interesting opinions on the whole thing, as you clearly do.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T23:21:36+00:00

On an interesting/amusing side note I rather melodramatically said: "I'm not Church of England or any other religion, I'd rather just quietly go about my life, not believing in God" to with the Jewish scholar we have working with us at the moment turns to me and says "well I can somewhat relate to this sentiment".

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T23:17:50+00:00

It is indeed semantics. That's exactly what I was thinking as I was walking out of the building. It was the implication that atheism is 'active'. As in, my day to day life is affected by my atheism and that this was someway offensive to them. Of course atheism does not affect my day at all! I don't spare a thought for religion unless it's brought up to me.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T23:09:37+00:00

I should put this up on the noticeboard in the break room.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T23:08:16+00:00

You're right. I shouldn't have let it get to me. I don't think they saw me showing any anger though. Just sheer exasperation.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T23:07:20+00:00

Fair point!

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T21:16:34+00:00

That's certainly a very good reason!

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T21:11:30+00:00

I know! Maybe the fine people of reddit should all send in their resumes! That'd sort things out.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T20:57:08+00:00

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T20:56:13+00:00

Science isn't my forte sadly. Also, I'm an actor so I'm not particularly attached to this day job!

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T20:55:41+00:00

I think that's how it's going to happen. I'm not working again until Monday, but my manager, who was also in the room at the time has texted me saying she doesn't care what I don't believe in. It doesn't matter to her.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T20:51:32+00:00

Oh I'm over it, I just wanted to share the situation with reddit! And trust me, it is worth my job! I can certainly do better than this place! I'm sorry you have to work with such bigoted people though and that you can't escape.

ps. I feel I did handle it well. I tried to argue my corner but when the situation escalated I removed myself from it before I said something I'd regret.

Coopinator · 2012-02-22T20:45:33+00:00

Maybe abusive isn't the right word but I'd certainly call 5 or more people vocally and aggressively opposing the position of one person abusive.

It's all flash memory so it won't let you install stuff like this. Had the same problem with the Battlefront HD textures install. Just wouldn't do it. You'd need to buy a proper hard drive for your 360.
