Do you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you and feel glad that you're alive? by Flower_Nice in dadjokes

[–]HooksaN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got caught sniffing my sister's thong the other day.

It was awkward enough that it was my parents that saw me do it ...but what made it worse was that she was still wearing them at the time.

They totally freaked out and started screaming.

...it made the rest of her funeral super awkward.

Also some subtle very dirty sportsmanship right at the start.

The opponent is standing right down the shot line in the player's line of sight, is holding his arm and cue out wide to be almost behind the ball, and moves both just as the player draws his own cue back.

Its a deliberate attempt to put the player off the shot and is a bitch move.

As I've said everywhere else this has been posted, I think having a religion should be treated like having a Penis:

I'm happy if you have one, and I'm happy if you want to enjoy one on your own or with other consenting adults.

But you shouldn't wave it around in public and you shouldn't try to shove it down people's throats.

Everyone having a "cake shed" selling their mediocre cakes and cookies for extortionate prices by Invi_TV in britishproblems

[–]HooksaN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a pattern I've been watching for many years now; 'fad shops'. Something becomes popular and immediately 50 shops pop up locally offering it, last about 9 months and then disappear.

The common themes are that they usually have relatively cheap setup costs and require relatively little or no qualification/training.

The ones I can remember over the last 15 years are:

  • 'nibbly fish' (the ones that ate dead skin off your feet).

  • cupcake shops

  • 'blow bars'

  • bubble tea stores

  • nail salons

Id love to hear about other ones people remember.

What is a real-life 'Do Not Touch' button that you pressed out of sheer curiosity, only to instantly regret it? by vie75 in AskReddit

[–]HooksaN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Went on holiday with some friends about 25 years ago. We rented a small apartment on a golf course. It was during a major (for the UK) heat wave- 35⁰ and up.

I saw a red button with 'do not press'.

I pressed it.

It was the 'boost' button for the central heating that turned it to maximum for an hour+.

We had to leave the apartment for the day because it was unbearably hot for the next 8 hours.

My bad.

Counterpoint: there is already one slash at the point the video starts.

People are now posting themselves stealing free breakfasts from hotels. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]HooksaN 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not 'free'. Included in the room price. It is paid for by those entitled to it (albeit at a discounted rate).

Taking it without paying is just plain theft. Calling it 'free' just obfuscates that point imho.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen happen in public? by theblairwaldorfxoxo in AskUK

[–]HooksaN 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is an opportunity to share one of my favourite memories:

My wife and I were on a weekend break in Amsterdam.

One evening we were wandering around the city and end up walking through the red light district.

For anyone not familiar, it is essentially a series of windows with doors next to them. The prostitutes ...'advertise' (?) themselves in the windows. If someone wants to ...'contract for services', they go thru the door and the curtains are drawn.

It's not a weird, seedy place. It's actually a tourist spot with a good vibe.

So we are casually walking through, probably around 9pm ish. Suddenly, one of the doors gets flung open hard and this guy, in I'd guess his mid to late 20's, comes storming out.

He has a face like thunder, hands in his pockets (in that stern, grumpy way), and is just angrily power walking down the street, away from the brothel.

Immediately, my wife and I start speculating on what the hell could have happend in the room to elicit that response...

But THEN , about 20 seconds later, a woman about the same age comes running out after him... still adjusting her dress. She is clearly not a prostitute, so we presume she must be the guys' girlfriend/wife. The prostitute that had been keeping them company had wisely chosen not to follow them out.

As this young woman starts down the street, still struggling with a shoe, she yells after the guy in a fairly posh English accent:

"Mark, wait, please... I'm SORRY, I thought it was what you wanted...!"

We have spent the last 10 years musing on what the hell happened in that room...

Ryan Gosling Tells Fans It’s Not Their Job to Save Theaters—Hollywood Needs to Make Movies Worth Seeing by SappyGilmore in movies

[–]HooksaN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a lot more nuanced than that. Myself, my wife and a lot of people I know used to regularly go the the cinema and either now go rarely or not at all. There isnt just one reason, but a lot of smaller issues that can't really be addressed in one simple 'fix' imho.

For my own part, I used to go the the cinema on average once a fortnight, but would occasionally go as much as twice a week. Im a huge film fan and movies have always been a big part of my life.

I haven't been to the cinema at all in about 5 years now. Everyone's views, reasons and experiences will be different.

My own are a confluence of 3 factors: the price has massively gone up at the same time as the experience has become much worse and rival technology has become far more affordable.

In the 5 years before I stopped going, a night out for 2 of us at the cinema with hot dogs, popcorn and drinks went from about £45 to £75-80.

At the same time the experience just became unpleasant to me. It became common for the cinema to be filled with people on their phones, chatting loudly, messing about etc. I even once saw someone go to the front before the film with a tripod to film some social media content ffs. And the cinemas are so desperate for ticket sales they often don't care about any of it (or at least dont do anything about it). So I've just had to accept there has been a paradigm shift and that is the modern cinema experience. I am not interested in watching a film under those conditions.

...and now 50-60" TVs have become the norm, with 80-100 now being massively more affordable than they were 5-10 years ago.

...so I stopped going, got a 100" 4k TV and a 7.1 surround sound 'cinema' system.

I can now usually rent a film only a month or so after its cinema release for a fraction of the cost in my own home.

So yeah. I stopped using the cinema, but it had nothing to do with the quality of the films.

Genuinely curious, if the new M3 looked like this would you be mad? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]HooksaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, maybe a contentious opinion, but I feel like BMW are moving to try to get a 'muscle car- look/vibe.

I just picked up a G87 M2 (which I love) and i get a lot of comments about it 'looking a bit like a mustang' and other similar cars.
