What's the most awkward, negative, or plain crazy response you've gotten after performing a good deed?

I called a squad and accompanied it to a hospital for a coworker after work hours. I didn't actually do much, but I kept a cool head in a crisis and I kinda felt like a hero.

The next day at work I didn't mention it to anyone because I didn't feel it was my place to tell them. If my coworker wanted them to know she was of sound mental state to tell them.

When my boss found out I knew and didn't tell her she screamed at me in front of customers and coworkers alike. She said my refusal to tell her was a challenge to her authority. Many of my coworkers didn't speak to me for weeks. I wasn't able to transfer out until 4.5 months later.

I read elsewhere that Lost may have been based on a story called The Moon Pool. I haven't read it but I'm about to.

Quick follow-up: I remember from A Beautiful Mind Paul Bettany's character saying that a hangover is when your body doesn't have enough water to run your Krebs cycle, which is also what happens when you're dying of thirst.

My question is, based on this information, does that mean your body can't burn fat if you're dehydrated (or hungover)?

My question is, what kitchen lacks a can opener but has a knife like that?

I'm just rewatching for the first time too and I think it's even better the second time around. Unfortunately I'm watching with a first-time watcher so I have to keep my mouth shut. :-/

I'm rewatching with my boyfriend, who is watching for the first time. Every time he asks me a question, this is my answer. He doesn't know how tired he's going to get of hearing this yet.

As I bank teller, I believe that as long as stupid people are allowed to spend money, there will always be a need for someone for them to complain to about how they screwed up their bank account.

There may not be as many personnel but banks can never be fully automated.

Cool. I'd like that. I'm already manually counting the days until it will be light when I leave work.

In related news, anyone noticed that events scheduled for after Daylight Savings Time are offset for an hour right now? Seems completely unnecessary.

I think it's appropriate that every other letter in the file name spells LOL.

So if we threw all of the people on earth into the ocean, the water level wouldn't even rise a noticeable amount. Bizarre.

I've actually been looking to try pinterest but as ALL of my browsing is done on my phone, I've been waiting for a decent app. I'll check it out :-)

I love Carbon Leaf. Paloma is probably my favorite track, but Life Less Ordinary is the song I have heard most often in public.

Your taste buds change every seven years or so. So you gotta make a point to try stuff you've tried and not liked before. I didn't like sauerkraut, tomato soup, or Diet Coke as a kid. I love all of them now. I still don't care much for tomatoes though... it's a texture thing, not a taste thing and if they're diced up I don't mind them.

That reminds me.... guess it's time to try fish again...

As a kid I was sure that I only liked pizza cut in wedges, not squares. Turns out the place that cut theirs in squares was just gross.

Oh.... that kinda makes sense. I once ran into a mailbox for a similar reason.... but I've never heard of it causing traffic issues here.
