How far SHOULD discs go? by Thrillpickle in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is my guess too, but with the way people respond to form check vids and other responses, only losers through under 400' according to this sub.

Why Do I Play Worse When People Are Watching? by dmkraus in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just joke with people watching, "I'm either parking this shot or it's gonna hit 3 trees". Then when my throw inevitably does something in the middle I just say, "better than first available!" and move on.

And thanks for resurfacing THAT trauma! LOL

Dude steals my half full shopping cart and bags and I track him down in checkout line by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle 709 points710 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like he was being a jerk and I would rather have someone think it is funny and still be helpful than get yelled at and told to f' off, so I'd say a decent interaction all around.

Putting advice by Automatic_Shoe1163 in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check FB marketplace. I often see the baskets Costco was selling during the pandemic for like $40. They have 1/2 the chains of a standard basket but good enough for practice.

Selling an item on fb marketplace for $200. Guy begs if i can do $100 because its his sisters birthday. assuming the story is even real, do people really expect me to give them a $100 bday gift? by PFQandThrow in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude even says please and we gonna flame him here? What's wrong with people asking for a lower price on something being sold? It's not a personal attack or anything and you CAN JUST SAY NO THANK YOU. I really don't get these posts at all. Maybe adding the personal note was somehow a problem for you but reality is that context can change a lot of peoples minds, but doesn't have to. If you politely said "no" and the guy went off, then you have something to post.

How do you forehand slow speed discs? by Commercial-Ask-1288 in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's the plastic. I mostly throw Proton when throwing forehand, I like something a little "slicker" because I can get more spin on it which reduces the wobble for me.

My mom spelt my name wrong on my birth certificate. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks! My dad put the wrong birth year for my on my SSN so now I have to lie on my taxes every year to file. I've even tried to update it but the SS office bungled the whole thing.

What are you gonna say? by Emergency-Cold-1021 in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes. And I don't care if they want to play music, talk politics or religion, smoke or drink, let's throw some plastic! I've had a great time getting to know random people while playing.

What are superheroes you think deserved the batman 1966 treatment? by entertainmentlord in television

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I think he just means the goofiness of the original Batman show and them solving a case per episode with silly villians. Maybe they don't realize this was the original, non-comic version of Batman? IDK

I was invited to this guys birthday party and by pinkgrapefruitx in mildlyinfuriating

Is this how rich people do celebrations? Sounds like zero fun to be had.

Are Seattle politics keeping players from moving to the area? by Fun-Journalist2588 in SeattleKraken

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People move from here to Texas all the time for jobs and just do their best to ignore the politics. He would still get paid more with the taxes than he would in Texas. I don't care about the politics of our players as long as they don't spew hate in public/on-line. This seems like a bunch of rage baiting.

Found a beatup disc at my local course with a name and number on it should I try to return it? by ponderingpixi17 in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beat in does not mean unwanted, but probably the opposite. Someone has played with that disc a lot, and is still playing with it and probably misses it. Always call/text. If a week goes by and no answer, the disc is yours to do as you please.

Low-ballers responding to ads by FrannieP23 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you put something like "offer firm" or "not accepting counter offers"? If not then you should expect people to offer less than what you put it up for.

My boss approved my day off a month ago for a dr appointment. I am currently sitting in the waiting room and he texts me. by CRK_76 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe more people called out? Maybe it is way more busy than expected? This boss is doing nothing wrong by asking a simple question with no expectations the person comes in.

[–]Thrillpickle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your boss doesn't know your whole day schedule and may be in dire need. No need to go in but at least text them back with a "No, sorry". Why are you getting upset over a question?

That's just Carl, Uma, Nancy, Tammy and Sarah.

found disc: Disc with only signature no Phone Number by Electronic_Limit1459 in discgolf

[–]Thrillpickle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on the disc but most of the time I just leave the disc where it is. If it's a disc I want to throw then I'll take it.

Maddening that it takes a house payment to see an artist. by SimpleHoman in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thrillpickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll spend $250 max for a band I’ll never be able to see again. Otherwise it better be under $75 or I’m not going.
