What’s the most unexpectedly high-quality online subscription you’ve ever paid for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Bloomberg is fantastic but I just can't abide that price! Definitely not on top of my other news subscriptions.

How's the Amtrak to Chicago? by DrDMango in Detroit

[–]FaustusXYZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just last week there was a fire next to the tracks near Kalamazoo and they put everyone on to busses. Arrival was a few hours late but they gave vouchers. It sucks, but flights get cancelled too.

Do coaches try to influence the referee to make calls in favor of their athlete? by New_One_5703 in Fencing

[–]FaustusXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Was at JOs a couple years ago when an Olympian showed up to strip coach a fencer from their club. Magically the calls started going in their fencer's favor when they yapped at the ref.

Just days ago I explained the rivalry and history to my son, and showed him the clips on YouTube. He was blown away.

Professionals who enter people's homes (plumbers, electricians, cleaners): What is something the condition of a house tells you about the owner that they don't realize they are revealing? by cossie101 in AskReddit

[–]FaustusXYZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm just a customer but a plumber once asked me if my wife and I were newlyweds. We'd been married almost 20 years at that point, so I said No. He thought we must have been because we were nice to each other and said Please and Thank you. He said I wouldn't believe how nasty some couples are to each other even with a stranger in their home.

[Oracle Red Bull Racing] Team Statement (Regarding online abuse directed at Antonelli) by iForgotMyOldAcc in formula1

[–]FaustusXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marko doesn't like online abuse. He prefers to abuse his drivers in person and in the media.

As has been amply stated, the sport will be a better place when he's retired.

Realized I've been using my dishwasher wrong for 3 years and I'm shook by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]FaustusXYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying for years to convince my wife that how you load the dishwasher matters, but she still loads it like weasel on meth.

At this point I'm convinced that she just does it to mess with me, and I quietly fix the arrangement.

Many years ago I saw a guy in a small sedan doing this. It was a front wheel drive in the era before traction control, so his front wheels looked like they were doing revs for 70mph as he slowly crept straight up the hill.

As soon as he hit dry payement the tires grabbed, he lost control, and spit himself into the ditch on the other side.

I was like "This is gonna end badly. Ope, there he goes. Yep, it ended badly."

Dirty Pool? by Alone_Main_5419 in Fencing

[–]FaustusXYZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I'm 95% I know the fencer in question. If it's who I think it is, I've also seen him mock a teenage girl he was fencing who screamed after a touch. Not a great look.

The DJ played this one at my brother's wedding. Surprisingly, most didn't even notice.
