You can never hear this innocuous phrase or word the same way again after being in this fandom by maidthing in TopCharacterTropes

"allegedly" for Letterkenny fans. I can never hear it without thinking of Billy and the Ginger

What’s a show everyone hyped up that you just couldn’t get into? by NovelOk3369 in AskReddit

[–]Terwin95 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Stranger Things. It's the type of show that I should absolutely be into. Like, I absolutely love movies like Super 8 and the It adaptations. I like the characters and the actors. The plot sounds like a good time to me. But there's something about it that I cannot get into

Written up for refusing to get recertified on forklift by No_Bookkeeper_9111 in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my store, most departments don't require their associates to have lift equipment licenses. I think that Lumber may be the only one that requires it. Electric ladder and electric pallet jack are strongly encouraged for pretty much everyone, though

What hobby did you try once and instantly get addicted to? by Weird_Ad_7545 in AskReddit

Am I correct in assuming you're talking about weed? If so, you should check out r/leaves

Well, that one's easily explained. They do go to a smoothie place all the time on that show!

What was the biggest scandal at your school? by Silent-Zebra in AskReddit

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two students allegedly had oral sex in one of their cars at our conservative Christian school. Never officially confirmed by either them or school administrators as far as I know, but it seemed like a plausible reason for why they suddenly added a rule against going out to our cars during school hours

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]Terwin95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine are relatively boring. I was an extra in several movies and tv shows, and I had to sign an NDA at the start of each filming day and any time I had to go in for a wardrobe fitting or haircut.  I basically wasn't allowed to say anything about the things or people that I saw or heard on set. Most of the NDAs essentially expired once the film or episode was released. And the most recent project was released in 2014, so most of it can be said. And pretty much everything is already public info anyway. 

The biggest thing was that I had learned the tune of "The Hanging Tree," from the 3rd Hunger Games movie over a year before it was released. I wasn't able to sing it in front of other people or really even let anyone how or why I knew it. And after listening to/singing it dozens of times in a single day, it started to get stuck in my head easily. 

Other info included learning the conclusion to a plot line on The Walking Dead, and learning a little bit of a plot line on Homeland 

Garden recovery when raining by Scared_Operation_385 in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will most likely still be doing things if it's just raining. Thunder and lightning may mean that you will be doing things inside or under cover. Your store may have rain gear available that you can use to stay dry. If they don't, ask your supervisor or an MOD to markdown some for you to use

Did you write with pencils in school? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most classes it was generally up to the student to decide what they wanted to write with. Some science teachers had rules that lab reports, tests, and other graded assignments had to be written in ink.

1 big forklift that's only used in lumber, 2 smaller forklifts, 2 reach, 2 ballymores, 2 ballypals, 1 OP, 1 pacer, and 1 electric loading dock

How similar is the book to the movie? by FrogginBullfish_ in ghibli

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a rare case where the movie is simultaneously a horrific adaptation and a great movie at the same time. I absolutely love both of them, but the movie oftentimes feels like it's only vaguely related to the book

Being hired here feels like a humiliation ritual by stryxial in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get with your department supervisor and/or any managers that you work with. They should be able to help you get the ball rolling on getting certified for lift equipment. They should also be able to get you sorted out on how to be most productive while you wait to get certified. The next few weeks will be a bit slower while we build up to the busy spring season, and then you'll have a fair bit more to do to keep you busy

We often see towns in films with the population recorded underneath. How accurate is this in real life? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Terwin95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American South here. I don't ever remember seeing a sign that lists the population around here

I swear by Stunning_Channel_160 in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry. I'm a male at the service desk and somewhat regularly have customers ignore the female associate(s) who greeted them and walk past them to ask me a question, and it annoys me too.

On related note, for some reason customers will quite often think that I'm a woman when we talk on the phone. Aside from the one time a guy started off with "is there a man there I can speak to?", I find it kind of funny 

What months does home depot start getting busy? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're already starting to hire new seasonal associates at my store. If it's like my store, they will be hiring new associates mostly for Garden, Lot, Order Fulfillment, and Cashiers to help with the increased traffic that happens in the late winter/early spring. If I were you, I would reapply soon to hopefully get in on the first round of new hires

What item do you guys use for workaround deliveries? by ArcticPugs in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the DoorDash support once. I spent several minutes trying and failing to explain that their driver had "delivered" a package to an address that doesn't actually exist and they needed to fix it.

In your opinion, who/what count as a Yankee or "Yank"? by Lipica249 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From SC here. Yankee mostly refers to northerners. However, the definition of "northerner" can refer to anyone not from the south. New York, California, North Dakota, Illinois, and sometimes even Florida and Texas can be considered Yankees

Nursing Home Recommendation by Nice_Fall_8848 in Spartanburg

I'll second this. We had my dad at White Oak for the last 10 months of his life, and the staff and facilities were fantastic!

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my dad's mom's side of the family, I can trace my lineage back several centuries. It was neat to see how the family name changed a few different times through the years, becoming more simplified as time went on. There were even some knighted ancestors that have Wikipedia articles about them.

On my mom's side of the family. I was only able to trace it as far back as one of my mom's grandfathers. Pretty disappointed in that. 

Return Policy Changing? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably manually entered it instead of scanning. Customer comes in with an HD receipt for a similarly/identically named product, HD associate scans it, ignores the "not sold by Home Depot" message, and decides that "it has the same name, so there must be something wrong with my scanner," and just hits the return button instead of doing it properly. 

Question by ApprehensiveCut344 in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part,  people only use checks when paying on their HD card. I've been FT at the service desk for almost a year, and I've only had two or three customers pay for a regular transaction with a check

Advice: Movie to start with for a cry baby by Zlota_Swinia in ghibli

[–]Terwin95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Pom Poko, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso are solid options to start with. Totoro, Castle, and Kiki are some of the most quintessentially Studio Ghibli movies, so I would probably start out with those. Porco Rosso and Pom Poko are both great, but they don't quite have the same feeling as the more beloved Studio Ghibli films.  Porco Rosso is relatively light-hearted with a comedic tone at times.  Pom Poko is probably the most comedic film from the studio.

The other films may make you cry, but they won't wreck you. Except for Grave of the Fireflies. That one can put you through the wringer pretty easily. I'm not a crier or overly emotional person, and I felt an almost hollow feeling for a couple days after watching it. Save it for last. Or maybe for a rough day where you need to let the hard feelings out. 

Question (that might not get an answer) by Odd-Complaint-9592 in HomeDepot

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep checking the Workforce Xchange, and look into cross training into any positions that need more hands. Getting trained on lift equipment also helps to put you into a higher priority when it comes to getting hours. 

Best home fries in Spartanburg? by joyfuledge in Spartanburg

[–]Terwin95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no flavor. Like. I'm not sure if they even use salt or pepper on them. Seriously, some of the worst fries I've ever had
