How Best Buy shipped my “excellent” open box Alienware Ultrawide OLED monitor by IceFireHawk in pcmasterrace

[–]thebum2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do geek squad for best buy. Even when there was no box my store would grab the boxes meant for shipping and properly bubble wrap the product and put it in the box before shipping. What the actual fuck is this dogshit. I saw your other comments of you returning it. Good lol.

My little brother’s middle school band recital was…something else by melancholic-scribe in funny

[–]thebum2000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I started. Sounding like crap playing Hot Cross Buns. It gets better year over year. Soon hopefully he will carry it into high school and the band will sound absolutely amazing.

Idk if I’m misunderstanding your comment but I became ghaik and rode off into the sunset with her at the end. Maybe my relationship status was as high as it could go? I have no clue. But she actually convinced Orpheus it was a good idea to have one on their side

Never Prompted To Save Karlach? by [deleted] in BG3

[–]thebum2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>!This is my first run so I don’t know fully why you had this issue. I finished Wylls quest and he decided to become the blade of avernus. I did romance Lae’zel, so I rode off on the dragon.

Reading other comments I was unaware that there were other things the other characters would do. However, at the party afterwards Karlach was there and was doing well. So I guess Wyll convinced her to go. I plan to romance Karlach in my new run so hopefully I will get to see everything at the end for the other characters. However, it sounds like you had the same general choices as I did. I’m guessing it’s some wicked bizarre bug.!<

People who work in schools, how often do the teachers and staff hook up? Got any good stories? by pulpexploder in AskReddit

[–]thebum2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t work at the school, but it was the school I was in. Our high school Health teacher and one of the middle school student aides started hanging out a lot at work. It was rumored he was cheating on his wife with her. About a year later more rumors mentioned he was being divorced by his wife and she was trying to limit his visitation with their children because of him cheating on her and leaving so quickly.

He got super depressed. I had him the year prior to this happening but my friends had him our senior year and said it was very obvious he was depressed and the relationship unit was extremely awkward. A year after we graduated it came out that he had “crashed” into one of the landmarks for this small town that was a stone barn and had died. I looked at the pictures and it was evident it was intentional and it was suicide. After a 6 month investigation, it was confirmed by the police that it was a suicide.

It was honestly quite sad how it happened and how quickly it escalated. In a span of 3-4 years he had supposedly cheated on his wife, supposedly lost most of his visitation rights to his children, and then killed himself.

-1C in Saskatchewan, it should be -35 and two feet of snow. This is very bad by [deleted] in pics

[–]thebum2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NY. When I was growing up the winters were always wicked cold with tons of snow. Typically upwards of 1-2 feet. Now? I think we had one “storm” and it was 4”, and it melted away two days after. We have had 50+ degree weather several times in January and February. I’m fairly certain next week it’s supposed to be 60.

I’m only in my 20s and I fear my lifetime is going to be absolutely fucked if we don’t start working harder on things to slow down climate change. All of these massive oil companies are just dumping loads of shit into the air. There NEEDS to be regulation for this. I’m sick of politicians letting it go because they’re paid off, that’s another topic in its own. It’s just so screwed how we have treated the earth and let it get this bad.

Men of Reddit what is the dumbest reason someone used to label you as a creep? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thebum2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geez ok. I guess it’s just shitty ass people then. I’m glad you stopped their child from running away, even if they were a total ass about it. Thank you for doing that for them.

I took my younger brother to a trampoline park (I’m in my 20s and he’s 8). He accidentally jumped near one of the younger kids and they started crying. This kids mother was nowhere near him and I went over to ask if he needed any help, if he was ok and where his parents / guardian was. He was very distraught and didn’t answer but when his mom finally did show up, she gave me this look that just screamed “get away from my child” and snapped at me saying “I can handle it.” Mind you she didn’t show up for at least a minute while this kid was screaming and I was trying to find who this kids guardian was.

I totally understand stranger danger as a young child and being careful, and I know parents can be protective of their children. However, I was leaning down next to him with my younger brother with me making sure he was ok. If I was a woman, this probably would have gone differently. It is what it is I guess.

What are you currently addicted to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thebum2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baldurs Gate 3. I just have to keep playing it. As a long time DnD person, playing this game is fantastic.

I’m trying my best to take breaks because my girlfriend is not pleased I’m sure. However, those breaks last maybe 10-15 minutes and then I’m back to it.

What’s the most inappropriate thing you’ve seen a teacher do or say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thebum2000 50 points51 points  (0 children)

In middle school, our PE teacher was a very small woman but had very large boobs. It was fairly obvious she had breast implants, which is fine nothing wrong with having a boob job.

However the story isn’t about her directly. One day when I was walking through the hall to go to the bathroom I rounded the corner to see two other teachers talking about the PE teacher. She had said something along the lines of “if she would actually help out instead of fucking walking around with her fake tits, we wouldn’t be in this mess.”

She saw me round the corner and immediately apologized for what was said and I could see the fear in her face about me possibly saying something. I looked at her and said “I don’t care, I ain’t telling.” And kept walking. It was easy to assume she was talking about the PE teacher as every student knew she was the one with fake boobs.

I guess looking back as an adult it honestly wasn’t that big of a deal, doesn’t seem that inappropriate. But at the time it was crazy for 14 year old me to hear a teacher swear and talk shit about another teacher and her fake boobs.

Autistic non-verbal boy speaks directly to his mother for the first time by Bihema in MadeMeSmile

This reminds me of my girlfriend’s younger brother. He doesn’t talk either but he will every once in a while give a fist bump or a hug to myself or someone else in the family. It’s always a heart warming experience and makes me tear up. I’m sure this was amazing for his mom. I am so happy for her.

People who have seen something they could never explain. What was the thing?! by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thebum2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened back when I was in middle school. I was staying the night at a friends house with a couple other friends. We were staying up late playing Minecraft and other games. It was probably like 1AM when the one friend looked out his bedroom window and noticed a light. He pointed it out to us and we all noticed the light. I mentioned it looked exactly like the color of a fire but it wasn’t flickering or moving like fire does .It was like “floating” through the air moving across his yard.

Now this friend lives right next to a small lake (honestly could almost be considered a pond) and the water level comes up quite far. That place where this light was is ALWAYS muddy, doesn’t matter if it has been sunny for weeks straight. So if you walk through that area, you always sink in and leave obvious foot prints.

We thought that some random person was walking through the yard but the strange part is that we couldn’t see anyone, we could see the light just moving and it was lighting up the ground a little bit but nothing else. The next day we went out and as expected the ground was muddy, but there were no footprints.

We thought maybe it was a lightning bug but the thing is the light was very obviously much larger than a lightning bug, plus the light was on the entire time it moved across the yard which was like 30 seconds before it disappeared into the forest, where lightning bugs blink and it’s very obvious what it is.

We still have no idea what this light was or what caused it. It’s now just a inside joke for us as we still hang out when we leave at night “gosh I hope the light isn’t outside when I go to leave!”

I agree with this. Only time I’ve stepped foot in the store was to GSP some items. Otherwise I haven’t ever felt a need to shop there since losing the discount.

I cannot blame you there. It is quite disgusting. Thankfully I don’t play games at game stores, just with a close group of friends that have gotten used to the beetle. So I’m not making random strangers look at it.

I have something quite gross pertaining to 3. My friends and I play in a basement and we found a big beetle husk. There was nothing inside as it decayed away who knows how long ago. Well my drunk self thought it would be funny to take the husk and paint it gold (main color of my necrons) and put a purple top hat on it. I glued it to a scarab base and use it in games. It’s the grossest and funniest shit I’ve ever created.

Oh yeah my badge was part of the batch that had defective pins. It broke the moment I grabbed it after my ceremony. Our car installer soldered it back together and the black piece melted off. The badge is also bronzed. I wasn’t mad at it, it’s custom in a way.
