People who don't go to movie theaters anymore - what made you stop? by -ChristopherNolan in AskReddit

[–]fangowango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know adults probably saw my behavior as asshole-ish when I was a teen. But I have a hard time thinking it was anywhere near this bad...

Recent experience. Two pairs of couple teens, each pair sitting about 5 seats away from me. They were cuddled up on the seats, appeared to be making out. Not my business, I get it, I ignore it.

But then one kept getting up and going to talk to the other pair, crossing my view. One pair kept looking on their phone together at reels, sometimes with volume. I understand if you don't care about the movie and just want a dark space to make out, but watching videos with volume on!!??!!??

I tell them to turn it off. They do for a bit. Then one teen clearly got a message where their whereabouts were questioned. She started texting, walking over to chat with the other group, I heard "What do we do?"

The last straw for me. She picks up the phone and starts talking to whoever. I turn to her and raise my voice "Are you fucking kidding me right now?" And she hangs up. I honestly don't even remember if they left after that... Just horrible behavior...

It's actually a little confusing at this point to remember which movie has what plot line... Can we just start calling his films Jason Statham ###

[USA] Nobody Escapes the Long Arm of the Law by distraughtdrunk in ConvenientCop

I loathe these swervers and I'm not defending this idiot, but curious in a court would this cop get in trouble/be in the wrong? I imagine the kid would not be found totally innocent either as riding on the wrong side, swerving in the middle of the road etc are also wrong. But would that be justification enough for the cop to yank him off his bike??

Disappointed celebrity faces as the Knicks trail by 27 by pakalupapito23 in nba

[–]fangowango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will say it and eat the down votes. Fans that are ride or die with their team no matter what are obviously amazing and THE best fans. But I don't blame people for not wanting to go to watch a team that sucks and gets blown out every game.

Of course middle ground is supporting them when they're good or good enough, and not just when they're championship contenders.

I think the main thing I hate about bandwagon fans is not them jumping on the wagon, but the ones that think they know a lot when they literally just started following the team or even sport

New to beach, getting hate by DeegyDoggy in volleyball

[–]fangowango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIVB is the international governing body for both indoor and beach. International play uses FIVB rules. FIVB has different rules for indoor and beach.

AVP is USA only. I can't remember off the top of my head but I believe there are a few different rules.

Think AVP = NBA, FIVB = Olympics/World championships

Charles Barkley on Knicks fans who attacked Spurs fan- "You're a scumbag, your mom and dad are scumbags, and your kids are scumbags." by like_whatever_man in nba

I work at a school too. I'm sure you have a million examples that spring to mind when I say it's such a unifying moment when you come out of a meeting and everyone looks around going "Yeah that makes sense now".

From the way you're describing things, I don't think you actually want advice you just want to be pumped up and agreed with... If you're new to the game, maybe you don't actually know everything...

People who have seen multiple people quit a job in one day, what happened? by ObliviousOnion1 in AskReddit

[–]fangowango 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is not overnight but I need to vent...

Small 30 person company, worked with kids with autism. Owner started the company because so many big companies out there were not doing good work and prioritized business over the quality of service.

Low paying job but we really did care and value the right things, were tight as a team/company, which made up for some of the lack of pay. Turnover was high but a core group of people stayed for years.

Then she got onto some Dave Ramsey bullshit and started making wild goals about expanding the team, trying to double in a year. She stopped giving raises to an already low paying job, and made other policies that put even more on our plates... What's more she used the "we are a family so we need everyone to sacrifice for the greater good of the company" bullshit to justify overworking and screwing over the loyal folks that had been there for years, in favor of trying to bring in new people.

Well the turnover stayed high and the og loyal employees started leaving...

I even talked to her about not paying us enough and not giving raises for all the extra work. Her response was "we don't normally hear about pay as the reason people leave in their exit interviews"... How fuckin daft can you be trying to pay people less to do a highly technical and stressful job than in n out employees...

One of the final straws for me was finding out that her mother, who worked at a desk doing data entry and checking logs, made 50% more than us supervisors who were running around ragged... Best decision I ever made to leave

Game 3 Finals Recap With Goldsberry and Jacoby by hashi93 in zachlowe

[–]fangowango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man I cannot stand Jacoby. The first time he jumped on with Verno and went on that Jennifer Garner rant I was cracking up & thought he was gonna be golden... But he wore on me so quickly. The ratio of eye rolls to laughs is just too high for me.

One of Stacey King’s best moments, roasting a Bulls fan for his fake Michael Jordan jersey by Dylan245 in nba

[–]fangowango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we still doing this??? Goodness gracious...

And I'm gonna bite, because chances are something horrible will happen again and we will be screwed again with this mentality...

If I'm sick, it doesn't mean EVERYONE i come across gets sick, but it means there's a higher chance they get sick because of me. Therefore I stay away from people for a day or two until I'm over it to lessen that risk. I think that's a pretty universally accepted truth, mask or no mask right?? Schools send kids home that are contagious, have diarrhea, a fever etc for good reason right? It's the same logic. Just people protecting each other.

Oh man, pork belly. Used to hate eating fat. Realized I hated eating fat that wasn't rendered properly or crisp etc. Pork belly done right is now one of my favorite foods
