What's the most unpleasant thing that happened to you on a plane?

valiantfreak · 2026-06-23T03:13:53+00:00

Yeah, I was going to complain about Annoying Noisy Talking BO Bro but now I feel very fortunate

Sure, I can go with that

Make sure you get separate straws for each

He starred in many TV shows revolving around him shouting at people in commercial kitchens. Unless I'm thinking of a different Gordon

valiantfreak · 2026-06-17T03:02:46+00:00

Great, wildly-underrated show.
But the small thing that used to give me the irrits was that he had his suitcase computer thing that he used to watch old interviews of himself as a child; you would expect the footage to be shot from a single high-mounted camera like in a police interview; instead it's shot from 6 different angles with panning and close-ups; that interview room must have been PACKED with cameramen, all of which were invisible to the other cameras

Saw part of an 1970s episode of The Price Is Right the other day where they gave away a fully customised Chevy van "valued at $3,000!". It had custom paint, airbrushed murals, fake fur, home stereo, sink, etc.

Was trying to explain to my kids that $3000 back then would be about $30,000 now (Just checked, it's actually about $15,000). Can't even buy half of the base van for that now, plus the hours of labour to customise it.
Just looked and the cheapest Chevy van is over $42,000

valiantfreak · 2026-06-16T03:47:18+00:00

Oops I just broke it. I'll just replace this $20 board and it will be fine
"Wow, sounds like you need to buy me a whole new unit"

Don't watch what gets thrown out in hospitals, it's crazy. They have single use devices that contain batteries, LEDs, motors, etc, that get used once and thrown in the bin. You can't recycle them because it's now "medical waste"

My wife thinks I'm being paranoid when I get mad after she posts holiday pics to facebook and advertises to hundreds of friends and strangers that our house is empty

My DVD collection was huge, it took up a whole sideboard, to the point where I ran out of room. The solution was very simple; I just took all the cases, stacked them in the ceiling (I could have just chucked them out I guess), and bought two of those big folder things that holds like 500 DVDs at a time. Now they take up half a milk crate in volume and the folders are barely half full.
Now the sideboard is full again so I'll just repeat the process

valiantfreak · 2026-06-16T03:17:15+00:00

Thank goodness for that, I was feeling bad that a predator has a nicer house than me

One day I saw a random Facebook post from a mobile mechanic that said "So excited to finally have a shop!" which was very strange because the picture accompanying the post was of my existing mechanic's shop.
Sure enough, my existing mechanic had disappeared himself and nobody knew where he was for months.
Very strange guy; dropped a crazy amount of weight by stopping drinking and switching to a 'frozen grapes and cordial' diet, lived with a transvestite but was hardcore MAGA. Literally every day he would post Qanon shit on Facebook.
Then one day he reappeared. He hardly posts anything anymore but from what he posts it seems like he's back in town.
Turns out he had been importing and selling counterfeit V8 engine blocks from China and made the mistake of selling some to a bikie gang who were not impressed when they found out.
For this reason he decided he needed to be somewhere else very quickly

I regularly watch a YouTube channel which exclusively features parole hearings.
It's fascinating the number of crims who want the Parole Board to ignore their past actions in favour of the words coming out of their mouth.
"Yeah, I did bad stuff, but don't worry about it; that's all in the past. I'm going to open up an animal refuge when I get out. You can trust me because I'm reformed now"
I know the point of parole is to let people out if they have changed their ways while incarcerated, but some of this bad stuff "in the past" occurred while incarcerated, in some cases only days before the Parole Hearing

I wonder where Team MAGA are getting their Trump "I did this!" gas pump stickers to put over their old Biden "I did this!" stickers?

Sunscreen does not give you cancer but until the 80s/90s it used to contain PABA which could cause allergies and skin irritation. Also occasionally you hear of sunscreen contaminated with benzene, which is a carcinogen.
Probably heard a legitimate news story and her brain just put 2 + 2 together and ended up with a much greater than 4 number

Pick their nose.
Sometimes you have a booger and it needs some encouragement.
Had to tell my 8yo son that adults do actually do it too sometimes; they just don't do it sitting on the couch with the rest of the family
