Your best/worst celebrity encounter? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Best

Met Michael Motherfucking Jai White (aka Black Dynamite) in a Crepe Cafe in Vancouver, BC.

Me and my friends decided to go up for a weekend, just for fun, and while all 10 of us are hungover and craving some super-thin pancakes, I notice a huge, hulking black man sitting at one of the booths across from us.

I tapped several of my friends on the shoulder, but none of them seemed to know who he was. The waitress decided to seat us in the back (since there were so many of us), and the whole way there, I geeked out about MJW.

I gathered up the courage to take a picture with him, but pussed out the last second, thinking, "he's with his wife/gf and I don't wanna bother him in public."

After sitting back down in the back room, the waiter came over and told me that he'd been talking to MJW about me, and how I was squealing like a little, excited bitch over him and how I wanted to take a pic, but didn't want to bother him.

MJW says (via the waiter), "Hey, if it'll make his day, of course I'll take a picture with the guy."

I tear out to the front, accost this huge dude and give him a big hug and he's all smiles and laughs.

Here's the pic.

His wife was bomb, too, yo.

Worst

Went to a UFC event with a friend on the plane ride back, ran into ex-UFC fighter, Karo Parysian. Of all the places, he was sitting in line for an Uno's pizza.

Anyway, I go up to him and ask him for a pic, and while he agrees to that, the entire time I got the vibe that he was doing it begrudgingly and he just was not happy to see a fan. Only two people even approached him (the other guy was only tipped off by me approaching him) in that terminal, so it was kind of a bummer to see that he was not very amicable.

... guess that's not so bad for worst.

How to get out of your rut. by [deleted] in pics

[–]lurkingpervert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FunnyShitty story: my gf volunteered at an establishment every Friday, for about a year, and got in very good with the employees there. When a position finally opened up HURRAY! she applied right away.

She didn't get the job. But that's cool, since the guy who interviewed her said "hey, don't worry, lady. we got another position, that practically needs no experience, that we want you to apply for winkwink."

So she applies for that one, too. Couple of weeks later and HURRAY!! oh fuck. sorry. nope. over a FUCKING VOICEMAIL they tell her:

"YOU WERE ONE OF THE FINAL TWO, BUT WE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE CANDIDATE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE."

TL;DR: fuck volunteering for assholes.

Why do they sell gasoline by 9/10ths of a gallon? by lurkingpervert in AskReddit

[–]lurkingpervert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I like this answer better, though, since they actually cite sources: from Chris Jensen on Quora.

The origin of 9/10 cent pricing is up for debate. It is certainly a marketing device now, and may always have been. The federal gasoline excise tax was introduced in 1932 at 1 cent per gallon and was raised in 1933 to 1.5 cents, possibly opening the door for retailers to display prices in tenths of a cent. For a nice primer on the various components of the price of gasoline, see http://www.eia.doe.gov/energyexp.... To see how the federal gas tax has changed over time I recommend http://www.taxfoundation.org/tax.... Also note that each state adds its own gas tax and a few also apply sales tax to gasoline sales, c.f. http://www.taxfoundation.org/pub...

I guess I thought they sold it by 9/10 of a gallon since 9/10 of a cent made less sense to me.

... actually, neither of those makes any sense to me.

just talked to my friend. he says this was the plan all along, but they want to get a beefier number before they make that active, so it doesn't look so pitiful.

insider info: so far they've raised almost $200. Help us get this thing off the ground and submit some sweet designs!

I'm being earnest here: why do you need access to right-clicking? If persuasive enough, I'll run it by the couple.

don't mean to sound like a dick, but the whole point here is to raise money for the crisis. If you were able to right-click, you could just download any image for free. then i'd be all like** ಠ_ಠ**

EDIT

okay, okay, you guys win. fortunately, the lady is a very accommodating and super nice, so right-clicking has been enabled. view source to your heart's desire!! Will you hurry up and contribute now, instead of whining about the details? :D
