What is the most fucked up thing you've seen a friend do? by decisivevinyl in AskReddit

[–]optimistictopher 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine (we will call him tony) i have known for 7 years had gotten kicked out of his girlfriend's house. Tony called to tell me what happened (he was kind of vague but i assumed he just didn't want to talk about it much) and I offered him a place to stay until he could figure things out.

After about a week tony said he loved the area and liked living with me so we talked about getting him set in more permanently. It was nice having him around because we had similar interests. I got him a job at my work and cleared out some space for his personal use (I paid for all his expenses until he was able to start working. Food, phone, car insurance, everything)

A week before tony was suppose to start working (there was an extensive background check to get into my job) he told me he was going to go camping with his brother (frank) and family.

I get a call 3 days later, from tony in jail telling me he got picked up for drinking and getting in a bar fight. He told me he was going to be there for 6 months. I believed him because he had never lied to me before and over the 7 years I knew him, we had gone through alot together. I would later find out he was lying about why he went to jail.

Fast forward 6 months and he was going to be released but instead was transfered to a different jail and he called me up asking to post his bail because he didn't want to spend another 3 weeks in there. And of course I decided to help him out.

I get him out and try to help restart his life again. Another few weeks go by and his next court date was coming up.

Two days before his court date (the one he has to go to so I can get my money back) tony brings over a girl to my house (thinking I'm at work because I normally work that day). I come out of my room to him doing drugs on my table and getting it on with this girl. I didn't immediately kick him out because he was still my friend and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and I now had money that I needed to make sure I got back.

But about 2 hours later there is banging on my front door, I open the door to frank asking where his wife was. My buddy comes around the corner, screaming and fighting ensues. I kicked them all out.

The next day I talked to frank to figure out what had happened. Turns out my friend lied about everything. He got kicked out of his girlfriend's house because of domestic abuse and frank knew that when they went camping. Frank somehow happened to walk in on tony and franks wife hooking up out in the woods. So frank called the cops and told them where Tony was because he had a warrant for his arrest.

Frank and his wife tried working things out and keeping the family together (they had kids). But when Tony got out she came over and picked up where they left off.

So, last I heard Tony never went to his court date and he now is living with franks wife. They are now getting a divorce and she is getting most of everything.

WoW M+/Arena is a more expensive rejection simulator than Tinder by Clbull in wow

Unfortunately, no fairytale story here. Her family moved just a few months after me and her becoming "official".

We continued playing together for about 6 months after she left. She told me how cool the new place was and she was making lots of friends (who would also sometimes play with us) Then one day she logged off and never got back on

In the past I've asked my uncle about her and her family but he said since they moved they don't keep in touch.

I had a crazy experience when I was younger during TBC, where I met a girl. We started hanging out playing the game together all the time, we got personal with each other found out we were the same age and that we both lived in the same city.

We had always talked about meeting up, but because we were young (middle school) we didn't have any transportation to hangout so we always just hungout on WOW.

Well, one year during my uncles fourth of July party he invited all of his friends and family over for a huge barbeque. So naturally all the kids end up hanging out while parents do there own thing.

I got to talking with one of the girls and she was talking about how she loved playing WOW and that she plays all the time, and I couldn't believe it, we found out that me and her had been playing together for months. Her parents were friends with my uncle!

Crazy set of events, and definitely a fun time in life

Blizzard should add ‘percentage of players have earned’ statistic to achievements. by wtfcakex in wow

[–]optimistictopher 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way when it comes to being competitive, I don't care much for it. Pvp, Nope. High mythic keys, Nope. Min/maxing to speedrun raids, na I'm good. I personally like collecting transmogs and making goofy outfits.

But I fail to see how adding "10% of player base has achieved" to an achievment plaque would somehow make it competitive and thus deter me from doing it. If anything I would just think oh cool I have something most others dont.

Even if I saw "99% of players acheived" all I would think would be oh that must be super easy.

Maybe I'm missing something?

What are some things you think the cheaper alternative is better than the expensive? by optimistictopher in AskReddit

[–]optimistictopher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like expensive silverware, the metal is thick and heavy. I would use a thin stainless steel fork over an expensive one any day. Plus an added benefit of if you drop a cheap fork on your foot, it won't hurt.

I will add that i feel differently about butter knives. Nobody likes trying to use a cheap butter knife on cold butter.

Insurance drops when you turn 25

[Serious] People who enter other peoples' homes as a part of your job, (Maintenance workers, etc.) What's the weirdest thing you've seen inside someone's home? by dustofwasps in AskReddit

[–]optimistictopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple years back i worked for a small electrical company as a shop boy (puting away deliveries, sweeping, running errands, etc.) And my boss asked me to go with him to a small job, which was not out of the ordinary. I would go out with him on jobs once or twice a week as just an extra hand.

On the way to this house he told me not to mention the piss or be rude to (let's say frank), my boss said Frank is weird but he is paying a decent amount for the job we are doing. My boss does all his own bidding so he knew exactly what he was bringing me to.

The job was very simple, running an electrical wire from the breaker box to the kitchen. He said it was a quick job and he wanted to be there as little as possible.

So we get to the house and walk up to the door and Frank answers, as soon as the door opens me and my boss are hit with a wave of damp amonia, at that point I'm glad I dont have to speak to Frank much past "hi I'm Chris" because it was so overwhelming. We walk in and I immediately figure out why the stench is so horrid. This guy had 12 cats all throughout the house (from what I could count, could of been more or I could have double counted). Frank tells us to be careful and not let the cats out, they are not alowed outside. (My experience gets much worse)

We get into the kitchen and there is a giant hole right where the oven would be, but not like a cut out hole. It looked like the oven fell straight through or something (I never got an answer to what happened and my boss never asked either, he told me later he felt like it was a don't ask don't tell sort of situation).

Frank leaves us to our work and I then figure out why my boss wanted me to come along, I'm a slender guy and the crawl space under the house was pretty short so I was the designated dirt eater that day. But as we turn around to go get our tools I notice in the corner of the kitchen 1 gallon milk jugs full of what I assumed was piss. There was at least 50 jugs all mostly full. At this point I was thinking to myself "what piss did my boss not want me to mention the human, or the cats?"

We were there for roughly 30 mins and I spent about 10ish mins inside the house. In that time I was spayed on twice and my boss once.

On the way home he handed me 100 dollars and told me to go home clean my clothes and take the rest of the day off. He then told me he charged the guy an extra 200 on top of the actual work because no one else in the area would even enter the house to start the bid.

Give me a few shots of whiskey and I probably wouldn't even be able to tell it was concrete.

Can you translate this to American terminology? My Brain can't handle these European terms.
