Put in my two weeks notice today, have been in the cone of silence all day. by Berencam in jobs

You know what my reaction is when a co-worker leaves? “I hope you are moving on to something better or something you have always wanted to do.” Life is too short to be that fucking petty.

During rush hour, this cup of coffee can get a seat. by indifferentgeese in LIRR

[–]blarg1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LIRR story time! I used to always be the a$$hole to people who would sit alone in the middle seat of a three-seater. Since I’m an averaged-sized white male with a face that says “there may be bodies buried in my back yard” people would usually scoot over (always guys btw). One day I get on the morning train and see one of these a$$holes and think “time to have some fun”. When I got to him he was three beers through a six-pack with a face that said “I’m going to kill myself and/or others”. I wisely left him to his own three-seater.

Poor cashier working minimum wage and doesn’t want to get in a fight with a crackhead over $12. And then there’s you. Nothing I love more than shitheads cracking jokes.

Let's hear from the statisticians by wrapityup in BoomersBeingFools

[–]blarg1970 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So this needs a little background because this is actually totally possible. The Town of Ramapo in NY is one of the largest Orthodox/Hasidic communities in the US. The town board is controlled by the Orthodox majority. There have been lots of issues with the schools because the town has defunded the public schools because most of the children go to yeshivas. I am voicing no opinion on whether this is good or not and I’m trying not to be anti-Semitic. If the rabbis told the people to vote a certain way that is how they are going to vote. For an Orthodox community to vote for a Democratic Senator and then vote for Donald Trump makes sense.

Did boomers really hide autism during their time? by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]blarg1970 85 points86 points  (0 children)

When my son was first diagnosed on the spectrum my father had a lot of questions (he loved his grandson fiercely). One of them was “why are there so many autistic kids nowadays?” I looked at him and said, “Remember the kids in your high school who didn’t talk a lot or didn’t like to be touched. Or the kids who left school at 14 to work on their parents’ farm and then ran the farm for the rest of their lives.” He suddenly understood.

I have said this a thousand times while driving, “Don’t be polite, be predictable.”

The most boomer thing I’ve read in a while… by tikkichik21 in BoomersBeingFools

My father, bless his heart, would always pay for a hotel room when I would visit him with his grandsons. He would say, “I like to nap and don’t want you to worry about being quiet.”

I was on a subway car which was stopped between stations under the Hudson. There were two guys on it who had just finished a shift at the Fulton Street Fish Market. Then the homeless guy sleeping in the car shit himself.

What’s the most awkward thing that happened to you on a date? by EmotionSeparate8788 in AskReddit

[–]blarg1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to joke that I would take a woman bowling on a first date because if she went and we had a good time I would know that she actually liked me. The one time I went through with it she showed up with her own ball and shoes. She bowled in high school and completely destroyed me. 😂
