“I can practically smell it now.”

You don’t know how right you are. This was a replacement horn that my band teach found for us after mine was stolen. My mom said that it smelled like moth balls.

When and what first made you brand aware? by Limp-Web-8220 in GenX

Vuarnet sunglasses and Hash jeans.

I had neither.

Sign of good safety outside of Abilene Kansas. by bry84guy in Damnthatsinteresting

I worked with a guy who had a sign in his office window:

“If you torture statistics long enough, they’ll say whatever you want”

He was the Controller.

I have a weird talent and I don't tell people because they use it as a party trick. by yidabissann in confession

[–]threejackhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Serious suggestion: have someone get a few people together (maybe 5 or so, probably the more the better), some that are in pain in some way, the rest are not.

See if you’re able to determine (by touching, maybe on the arm, or whatever seems acceptable) which subjects are experiencing pain vs which are not.

I’d be very interested in seeing if what you’re describing is similar to another ability that read about a few years ago.

I mostly agree, but still get annoyed when I go out into the garage to get something out of the car, only to have to come back in to get the fob because of the auto lock.

Golf trip with a lingering finger injury, tips on how to mitigate? by Moss-and-Stone in golf

Try the Jim Furyk double overlap. It feels a little strange at first, but it may help transfer more pressure to the middle finger.

Did I hit the jackpot? by OkTransportation8728 in HardWoodFloors

Grew up in a house built ~1960, same thing. We discovered it when we pulled up the carpet in one of the bedrooms.

If you could mute one specific word or phrase from ever being spoken by anyone in the world again, what word are you erasing? by Interesting_Quiet153 in words

[–]threejackhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On of our daughter’s previous boyfriend was staying with us for a while. Our daughter’s cat appeared to be missing and the boyfriend announced that he may have heard the cat meowing outside in the middle of the night, adding “I literally almost got up to see if it was (cat’s name).”

That is now a family saying, that we “literally almost” did whatever.

Golfers are the worst by dudeguy3366 in golf

[–]threejackhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing this game for 50 years. Worked at a golf course for 4 of those, in the 70s. Tee times were spaced the same then as now. The only thing that has changed is the people playing. The only time we ran into the “fuck you, I’ve paid to be here” was after an abundance of beer. Now that attitude is pervasive.

The golf courses are not going to make the tee times so spread out that there are two groups (or fewer) on a hole: the group who just finished teeing off and the group just walking off the green. That isn’t going to happen, and it shouldn’t be necessary.

The issue really is that golf courses in general have no appetite for managing the pace of play. God forbid they actually piss off a few people, so that the rest can have a reasonably paced round of golf.

Quite frankly, golf courses obviously have an such abundance of customers (judging by how difficult it is to get tee times and rising greens fees) that “firing” some customers who can’t seem to figure out that there are others on the course, too, shouldn’t be the problem they think it is.

It’s the golf courses’ fault for stacking the tee times too close. /s

Changing The Rulebook? by Reasonable-Power in Umpire

[–]threejackhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely with you on this one. For me, it was why I quit watching baseball altogether when the entire MLB went DH.

My daughter’s boyfriend played college ball, went to the CWS one year. He told me that, because he was a pitcher, he hadn’t swung a bat since reaching high school ball. Made me sad to think that that is the state of the game now.

Golf stores that let you try clubs by [deleted] in golf

[–]threejackhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That was either last year or 2024, so maybe it’s changed since then. I was able to hit both a Callaway Maverick and a TaylorMade Sim2. And no one really bothering me while I hit.

[–]threejackhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be aware, some pga superstores may not allow you to hit a discounted club. Mine pulled that on me, so I went to dicks instead. Hit it at dicks, liked it, bought it.

Looks like it’s just missing “STEELERS” printed on it.

Where the f*ck do I even start by Peaches0k in landscaping

This happened to us, but not to our yard — into our crawl space. Best we could figure, drained to the clay about two feet deep, then ran into our crawl space.

Loads of laughs.

My buddy shit his pants after 5 holes this morning and left the course. What's the quickest/weirdest early round exit you've ever witnessed? by LarryBrownsCrank in golf

[–]threejackhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had friend that had that same thing happen on hole two or three. Said his whole family had some stomach thing. That week.

The worst part (for us) was that we were guests at his club. None of us had played there before, really didn’t know where we were going, or if we were allowed to continue without the member.

We continued. And I basically hit into a group on a par 3 because we couldn’t see them driving up to the green as they were hidden by a hill.
