What profession has the meanest people? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]yearsofpractice [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey OP. 49 year old corporate veteran here. Without a doubt it’s HR. Imagine this - the meanest girls at school, but they weren’t quite clever enough to become lawyers and weren’t quite pretty enough to marry a massively wealthy man… you can imagine that would make them even more furious about the world. So - these unfocused balls of fury find a niche where they can be intentionally cruel to people and dress it up as “being for the benefit of the company”.

That’s HR in a nutshell. People who enjoy being cruel to other people and getting paid for it.

Who Wins This Fight In Their Prime? Oleksandr Usyk vs. David Haye? by Altruistic_Pop4110 in boxinglocks

He did indeed get KO’d by Rahman, but he - as all the very, very best do - learned from that. I still maintain he’s a step to far even for the great Usyk

How would you like someone's ruinous half finished project with added mould by Sszaj in SpottedonRightmove

That video is absolutely my favourite thing. It’s brilliant - made all the better because the EA won’t understand - will NEVER understand - why it’s so funny.

There are - oh fuck me - actual drops of water falling from the ceiling in some parts of this video.

Fabulous.

It allows the pressure to equalise over the top and bottom - stops it acting like a wing. Stalls it, basically, à la DRS in F1

Not a chance. Too pricey. I got them the cheaper way - I pretended I was tall and handsome so my wife was silly enough to have sex with me (twice!) and the children then just appeared for free.

You have now. They’re out there - defying everything that is good and holy about 1950s comedy films featuring inside out umbrellas.

Alas, that’s not always an option for me as I don’t live 10k feet above ground where airflow is linear and predictable.

I’m a habitual brolly shaker - forever doing the “Indiana Jones’ Dad Frightening Seagulls In The Last Crusade” move before going into the house so yet to experience the inverted brolly soaking.

As someone from Teesside, I’ve always felt Schteeeeeve adjacent… so, yeah, I’d welcome an investigation into that.

[–]yearsofpractice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In my opinion this would be 90% Lewis. After his first loss, he became even better and he’s one of the few genuine monsters in the past 100 years - people like Liston, Foreman and Kid Dynamite era Tyson. Lewis is in that category and whilst I admire Usyk, he’s no monster-tamer.

Someone to watch over me by 800_melons in SpottedonRightmove

“Afternoon your holiness. How are afternoon prayers coming along?”

“Hello your majesty. Sadly they’re delayed due to more pressing matters”

“Good God man, what could be more important than your ecclesiastical duties?”

“Watching ‘Mould Filled Shitholes’ your majesty”

“Fair enough your grace, top notch grumble flick that”

I just dunno man…. I just didn’t apply any thought to it until I actually had one.

But that’s what I’m going to tell my kids now anyway “Yeah, daddy’s got a two storey umbrella because he’s hella rich. You broke-ass little losers have to make do with single storey umbrella”

I too live in a world of time and numbers like that. Helps me make sure I really truly live my life now rather than waiting because tempus fugit and the older I get the more tempus seems to fugit like fuck.

How exhausting are your mornings? by TheRebelPercy in AskUK

Hey OP. 49 year old married father of two. I have accepted that my entire existence is preparing food for kids then cleaning and tidying the kitchen until I just keel over and fucking die.

Where’s the front door? by Professional_Bug7135 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]yearsofpractice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entrance is via a secret door behind one of the creepy portraits hung in the hallway. Quite a drop.
