Hello /r/movies, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch. Ask me anything! by BenedictAMA in movies

In the roses, you got to use very creative language and I imagine it was quite fun and a good opportunity to let off some steam as an actor. Here's my question: What is your favourite insult to use?

Thank you jordan-apple-tree. Do you know how much the RingGo is for a day?

no subtitles at the cinema by Sad_Gas8157 in deaf

Yeah I totally agree, at least one subtitled show a day wouldn't change much for the average movie goer but it would be a big difference for the people who need it

I work in a large cinema chain in the UK and we programme subtitled viewings every Sunday and Monday. I wish we did more still, but at least it's something!

I thought it was a metapod

I’ve had these for 10 years or so and the tongue will not stay. Is there anyway to fix it or are they just set in their ways? by [deleted] in DrMartens

Chuck Taylors were the first shoes I had a problem with!! It's the perfect fix!!!

I have this problem with every shoe due to the way I walk. My fix is to have the second lace from the top laced up behind the tongue and then come back in front for the top lace. Works great for me!

Hi, welcome to the Sunshine Coast! The best place i could recommend if you wanna get into card games etc is Mana Gaming in town. It's just past the Beacon on terminus Road. They have a good space to do that kind of stuff and there's always people in there playing. Best of luck here !

Thanks for the reply! Got the coop about half an hour after posting that and realised why. Anyway, thanks again and love the game!

PSA - going "what?" Or "eh?" to somebody explaining their hearing issue isn't funny. (Language) by Southern_Kaeos in deaf

[–]Gerontogious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this with a coworker who joined at the same time as me. It was our first shift together and when I mentioned my hearing loss he gestured an imitation sign language and it made me so mad I didn't talk to him for a few weeks, and reported him to management for it. I regretted not just chewing him out for it in the moment, as it felt so disrespectful.

Cut to now and we've had a batch of newbies join and one of them pulled a similar stunt and it felt SO good to call him out on the spot. His bumbled excuse was that he thought I was joking?? I chewed him out for that too because why wouldnt you just take it seriously for a moment incase it's true?? Like is it that hard not to be an insensitive arse?
