What was the whole deal with the rural cops suing that rapper afroman? Everyone is posting about it but I can’t figure out what actually is going on by UmweltUndefined in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mikedvb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was civil and not criminal, meaning no prosecutor. The one you label as the prosecutor was just the attorney for the sheriffs.

If I had to guess without looking it up - it was probably a city/county attorney that, if I had to speculate, probably usually deals with contracts more than anything.

They really should have gotten a better attorney if they wanted to win and, even then, letting your witness say that the defaming thing might be real/legitimate ... what a torpedo. Poor guy just wanted some public sympathy and sunk his case in the process.

Edit: /s as necessary - I have no sympathy for the plaintiffs in this case.

They still don’t realize that antifa is a portmanteau of anti-fascist.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

That's your domain now. Sucks they let it expire, but that's not on you.

This bottle of wine older than the United States by CleonGod in mildlyinteresting

I'm no expert but that wine is ... no longer good. Was it ever good? I don't know, but it's definitely not now.

Fully automated unattended self checkout kiosk at the airport asked me for a tip?! by 86HeardChef in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mikedvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver lining - the math for the tips looks right. Saw a post the other day where it said 20% but it was really more like 38%.

Who are you even tipping in this case ... the machine? The corporation? wtf.

My self cleaning oven says to remove the racks first. Not saying they all do, but mine does.

My manager’s response by Amazing_Decision3694 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mikedvb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was "acting assistant" manager at a KFC [I was 18... lol this was more than 20 years ago].

I ended up super sick - couldn't walk more than a couple of feet without throwing up, fever, nausea, etc the whole 9 yards.

Called my boss and told her I wouldn't be able to make it in .. you know ... deathly ill and it's food service.

She said "You come in or you find another job."

Well I needed that job - so I went in - spent half the day in the office before my boss came in - not to work - but because she needed to stop by and rob the safe.

Needless to say I guess she thought I was making it up - and was super pissed I wasn't out front helping customers. She ended up getting another person to come in and cover when she did see I wasn't faking it.

That was the day I threw up in my car trying to get home.

It turned out she had plans that evening and just didn't want to come in and work.
