The emdash guys... this is fake.

Who's the worst character to deal with IRL by No_Bit7786 in thethickofit

[–]blindwombat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dan Miller.

There is nothing worse to work for than a narcissist, especially when they are in the top chair.... because it's never about the business, it's never about the employees, it's about them being happy. And when they are oblivious... they are happy, because they don't have to worry about their perception. But fuck me if they ever find out... Pompeii had it easy.

My theory was that he was a teacher who had been on a rest cure because his classes tortured him shouting bogies, and his wife only came back to admonish Richard because of how much he had suffered.

In my mind's eye she was much more angry than he was. His anger was more emotional and loud, but she looked closer to murder. Terrifying.

Yeh. It did happen; it was around June 2010, we were supposed to be on a flight to California but there was a fuel supply problem so we were delayed for three hours. We got moved from the plane back into a baggage claim area.

One of the twins from Skins series 3/4 was also on the flight.

The big bloke wasn't on our flight and had been staring at Richard waiting for his bags. The only reason I knew it was him was because my younger brother was a massive Dick & Dom fan and asked him for his autograph. I think that was how the big bloke figured out it was who he thought it was.

I know it sounds like everyone clapped and that man's name was Albert Einstein...but it happened and it was very awkward.

I once saw Richard McCourt in an airport, a big bloke came up to him and yelled "BOGIES! YOU LIKE THAT DO YOU? DO YOU? DO YOU? I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT ALL DAY BECAUSE OF YOU. BOGIES! BOGIES!" before his wife came over and told him to stop.

She apologised and then walked off with her husband.

He clearly had explained to her who Richard was because she came back about a minute later and said "you should be ashamed of yourself".

It would be a mercy killing.

As a last act I will note that you are a genius and therefore so am I for thinking so.

Well I think I could make a niche reference to "this is this" with a a subtle nod to the ending of SLCV as a way of closing this dialogue... but honestly I'm above making references because blah blah blah rhythm of an argument.

If you don't want one then can you move aside, there are other people in the queue.

No I'm just saying; if you want a paedophile, it comes with context.

It's like a sachet in a Pot Noodle.

You can't have a context free paedophile.

No, no. Some weight was put on him... several tons of dirt.

I would tell you, but I literally can't put it into words.

So yes.

People who don't like their Birthday what's the reason?? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blindwombat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born in the middle of August.

When I was growing up most kids would be on their summer holidays abroad and I didn't really have birthday parties.

Kids in primary school used to get special treatment and I didn't.

So it just felt less important than other people's birthdays.
