  • I think this is a common thing with boy scouts. We happened upon an accident in between stations at camp. A kid ran up and tells us his dad crashed his car and he needed help. There was a man who was laying in front of the truck on the ground. His arm was bleeding profusely. We needed to administer first aid. The guy had a bunch of blood all over his arm and he was acting all incoherent. We decided to Jerry rig a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and send someone up the road to find a phone (pre cell phone days) The whole experience was super traumatic. All staged. Fuckers. They even had a pump shooting out fake blood from the guys arm.




  • I do not give 2 shits about people speaking foreign languages out in the ether for the most part. Having said that, there are 2 instances I can think of that grind my gears.

    1. You order an Uber, and the guy who’s driving is on the phone with someone, and is speaking another language with them the whole time. This is more just for the fact that this is shitty customer service for someone who works on tips to an extent. For whatever reason, this seems to only be an issue with foreign speaking people. My guess is maybe they’re talking to family back home? I certainly don’t tip those people who are doing it, but I don’t care enough to call them out on it either.

    2. As a poker player, they have rules about speaking English only at the table. This prevents collusion. I will absolutely call people out for English only at the table especially when there is a live hand going on.





  • I’ve literally never had anything stolen from an overhead bin, and I’ve never given the slightest of fucks about monitoring my bags unless I was traveling to like a 3rd world country, and even then, it’s overkill to worry. It’s a captive audience, and the dumbest place to steal. The airline has everyone’s name/info. It’s certainly possible, for someone to, but definitely not likely.
