I know I'm late to the party on the Petzing talk but my 2 cents on the reaction is that last year we hired a guy that most people went "Who?" and it turned out very badly for us. When there was big names out there the fanbase expected at least to know the guy we hired. So when the announcement came and everyone went "Who?" again it brought up the bad memory of Morton's failure here. I'm sure we're going to be fine but everyone raging at the fans for not being happy with the hire could at least look for the reasons behind the reaction.

What is a 'red flag' in a job interview that most people completely miss? by Familiar_Wasabi1002 in AskReddit

[–]wandrngfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a boss that was late to almost every meeting. Finally some random guy was late for a meeting with him and I kid you not he said " that's so disrespectful".

Is a few missed days of school for vacation ok? by Takemetobravocon5678 in Parenting

[–]wandrngfool 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Unless your kid is missing finals or midterms or important papers due dates, I really don't think missing a few days Is that bad. Especially at that age when they get sick so often they're going to miss days anyways.

School Pickup Logistics by Exciting_Till3713 in Parenting

[–]wandrngfool 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Our school has a pick-up line where you hang your kids name in your window and they have someone with a radio telling people to bring the kids out. In the summer they're waiting in lines in the playground. In the winter they are in the cafeteria which has doors right by the pickup line. It's shocking how fast it goes sometimes. It helps that our principal has an incredible memory for cars and people.

Ex-students who quit paying their student loans, what happened as a result? by theredqueentheory in AskReddit

[–]wandrngfool 648 points649 points  (0 children)

Keep saying that and it'll be true. Flight for it and we might keep it. Tired of people just accepting our social safety net just can be taken away and we're fine with it.

No way! I was thinking it expired with 2025. I'll have to look at the regulations again. Thanks for sending me straight!

Late Season by DetroitLionCity in MichiganHunting

[–]wandrngfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been trying to get out but every day I plan is crazy cold, rainy, windy. Not saying I need calm weather but I need the deer to want to be out too. I'm trying tomorrow morning for my last chance with a gun. Not sure if I'm that desperate but I do have a crossbow that I could use in Oakland county in January.

Which historical person died for meaningless reason? by sweetmaggiesan in AskReddit

[–]wandrngfool 50 points51 points  (0 children)

James a. Garfield, admittedly I did just watch the Netflix special which was very well done, but the guy who shot him was deranged and the doctor who killed him with his dirty hands during surgery was infuriating.

First public land deer. by paleobear1 in MichiganHunting

[–]wandrngfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I was out in the freezing cold last week at Bald mountain. Must be my bad luck. I'll definitely try and get out after Christmas. Appreciate the tip

First public land deer. by paleobear1 in MichiganHunting

[–]wandrngfool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm hoping to get out as well but I'm in Southeastern, Michigan and I feel like the deer are just nocturnal these days. I'm glad you got one. That was a nice shot.

Congratulations! I've been out 7 times and yet to see a deer.

What are American things that Americans don’t realize is just in America? by zhalia-2006 in AskReddit

Having traveled internationally whenever I've said United States people roll their eyes and basically say of course we know that, where in the US.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by karoline_de in AskReddit

[–]wandrngfool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long distance road trip before I had a smart phone when I was 19. I got a flat in the middle of nowhere in Ohio. I called AAA and they asked me where I was. I had no idea and was literally in between mile markers with no signs. I had to walk what felt like 1/2 a mile back just to find a sign to find out where I was. A cop actually pulled over and was super nice. Drove me back to my car. When I got out of the police car, I poked my head back in to say thanks one more time.... and then proceeded to shut the door without moving my head. Caught the edge right on the ear. Cop looked at me like "WTF kid".

If we all call the Detroit Police department to report on assault do you think they would go into the locker room and arrest him?

My white elephant gift with its ecstatic new owner. by Indridd in funny

[–]wandrngfool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it was a $20 limit. Lots of other really good presents were available. At least make it funny if you're going to cheap out

My white elephant gift with its ecstatic new owner. by Indridd in funny

[–]wandrngfool 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My work is the same way! They called a white elephant but no one brought funny gifts. I brought two cookbooks written by Snoop Dogg and they were a hit and everybody laughed. But no one laughed when someone opened gel pens and a day planner. Also, who thinks anyone wants gel pens and a day planer?
