40 Embarrassing Moments People Didn’t Know Who They Were Talking To And Made A Fool Of Themselves
When you think about it, the internet is a democracy. Whether you're the President, an award-winning scientist, or just a spiteful troll, you can create a Twitter account and go from one thread to another, explaining to other users why they're stupid. However, if you're actually doing it, that's precisely what you need to keep in mind. It's just a matter of time before you run into someone who can call out your BS. And when that happens, you're going to end up on the subreddit r/DontYouKnowWhoIam. Like the name suggests, this online community is dedicated to those spicy moments when people were oblivious to who they were talking to, and has collected quite a lot of them since its inception in 2015. Here are some of the best ones.

Regional Reports Manager
A friend's sister is a surgeon and at a conference some male twat said "do you have coffee" and she said "yes thank you" and she got a real funny look. That's when she realized that this twat thought she was a server. She's also a very tall slim blonde so men tend to think she has no brain. Maaaaaan
Load More Replies...Yes! I hate when they speak like this! Darling?? Do i even know you? I hate also the fact that they speak like this only to women
Load More Replies...Friend of ours had a similar experience. Her name is Michele but goes by Mitch and she used to be some kind of manager at at oilfield. Guy comes in and asks her to make him coffee as he has a meeting with Mitch. She calmly makes him coffee, then sits down at her desk and says, Hi, I'm Mitch. Always love hearing that story.
Sometimes, I feel lucky to be male - I don't have to deal with these condescending assholes.
Agreed, it is not professional to speak to employees in this way regardless of gender. It is sexist and discriminates.
Load More Replies...Why does this stuff still happen? In the U.S., at least, this crappy idea that any woman in an office should get the coffee for you should have gone away by the mid 1980s.
or anyone for that matter. If it's not offered to you, why would you ask anyone to bring you coffee or anything

Sad that she had to defend herself from the trolls and explain her credentials to prove her abilities.
And I would not be surprised if they still did not believe her. In their minds she is probably either lying or got the job because of her looks.
Load More Replies...Why does the impression that a beautiful woman is stupid keep persisting?
I don't understand why some people go out of their way to say things like this :/
Sadly, it makes insignificant, petty, obtuse, emotionally stunted people feel marginally better about themselves, because they can send-delude that they are better than the people they insult. That's actually the origin of MOST unprovoked criticisms and insults.
Load More Replies...I always believe that every woman can have 3Bs (Beauty, Brains and Brawls). Did I said it right?
Almost. “Beauty, Brains, and Brawn.” There is no “s” because the plural is spelled the same as the singular.
Load More Replies...just for reference: StackOverflow is a website for programmers where people earn [reputation] points primarily by answering other programmers' questions. the last time I checked, 20,000 points put you in the top plateau, with only 2% attaining that level.
She's brilliant and I'd love to meet her for coffee sometime. I'll bet she's a fascinating conversationalist. (And no, it's not what you're thinking. I'm in my late sixties and was a tech writer for VA and DoD.)
Lol Gregg but guys in their 60s are allowed to admire beauty ALONG WITH the brains. No shame. ;)
Load More Replies...Even though there's a line between self- and over-confidence, trusting in your judgment can help you become successful in life.
Both verbal and nonverbal communication can be extremely effective at garnering positive attention and influence in groups. According to one hypothesis (the presumption of calibration hypothesis), people generally assume others have the self-knowledge to know how confident they should be, and we also assume they will truthfully communicate this confidence to us (the so-called truth bias), unless extenuating circumstances suggest otherwise.
So whenever we see confidence, we tend to find it compelling, and we expect it to be justified.

Anyone else so sick of the vaccine argument? Should mention I'm not anti-vax. Have had covid twice myself. Edit: Was asked how I had it twice. First time I likely caught it in a post office. Only place I'd been for weeks as most of the country was shut. Second time my partner tested positive and then I did.
It stopped being amusing a long time ago to me. All I now feel is pity, pity for the antivaxxers.
Load More Replies...Not Google join this facebook group that tells the "truth" about covid, and where you can buy the right essential oils to protect yourself from it.
Thank you for the proper usage of quotation marks! 💕
Load More Replies...If 99% of people call their personal doctor and ask about the vaccine, it would be recommended. But instead, these loonies go online and find some random doctor they’ve never even seen and follow his/her advice.
This is particularly dumb as his credentials are listed in his twitter handle.
"You mean, you didn't google when doing your research? You used BOOKS and approved actual STUDY? You are weird and EDUCATE YOURSELF!!"
I use “ Cliff Notes” myself. But Maybe that is why I don’t care if anti-Vaxxers get Covid and die. Their choice. I choose to fully vaccinate.
Load More Replies...I'm starting to just ignore it. I've got both shots, wear a mask, and try to stay out of crowded places. I will get the booster when it becomes available in my area. People who aren't going to get it are just not going to get it. We are into our 2nd year of this with new variants popping up. No use to fight or fuss anymore. Just do you. You didn't get the shot, stay the hell away from me.
Forget google, just use what all these other morons are basing their information on - facebook. They were probably tagged in a meme that said, 'vaccine bad' and that was good enough for them.
Ignorant comment. FB promotes the vaccine and labels things "misinformation" if it doesn't go with mainstream media. Most people who don't get vaccinated have done research and not on mainstream media.
Load More Replies...So over the vax argument, just get the bloody thing done, you had your childhood vax's, what is it that you are so stupidly frightened of, being intelligent? being negative is what spread the other world pandemic through history, but way back in the day the world did not have vaccines to help people. Think of those who don't have the privilege of saying yah or nay to a vaccine to help them help their family live a good life. Grow up you useless waste of air breathers.
Why must you end your comment with so much hate. I respected such a great comment till I read the last sentence. It breaks my heart the way people tear down others. Do you know how many people out there think the government is the one who did this and does not want the government sticking a needle in their arm and putting something in there that they don't know or trust anymore. Did you know that there's so many people back in the day that trusted wholeheartedly our government and now feels our government is against us might want to find out what these useless waste of breeders reasons are and look at it from their point of view instead of judging them and calling them names their people just like you a human being.
Load More Replies...I love when they don't want the vaccine, but are for taking drugs like Ivermectin. Both were developed by medical science...what makes one bad, but the other good? Completely illogical.
I'd like to point out the violation of ethics, # 1 of The Nuremberg code, The First release of data by the CDC was based on Hypothetical treatment, therefore categories as experimental treatment... The Media painted Vaxx as a way to prevent transmission, when that's not how Vaxxs work.. Enforced treatment vs voluntary.... the only thing left in America that's not being taxed is free will... Not interested paying taxes on my will...

Same thing happened to Bob Dylan! The bouncer wouldn't let him in , in his own gig, as he did not recognize him!
i once worked at a club where the new doorman threw the owner out for being drunk!

Load More Replies...if that were me, i would just shrug and agree, and when i didn't show up to the talk and like a manager or someone called me i would just say sorry, the security guards wouldn't let me in. hopefully within earshot of the guards. yes i know i'm a petty and horrible person
no you are not ... I think of things in the exact same light!
Load More Replies...This happened to my husband. He was visiting a different school than his own to teach a group an ethics seminar. He was asked to show several forms of ID even after he showed them his school employee ID on a lanyard around his neck. He finally said I guess you won't be asking me this when I'm at the podium! This was after several white employees had walked past without a second glance and showing NO forms of employeeID.
my husband is a touring musician and this happens alllll the time. bouncers generally just enjoy the power dynamic
And there would be nothing to report if they'd let her finish speaking. Lawd.
This reminds me of going to a college to hand out certificates and they were still collecting parking the old fashioned way... cash. I had none. So I told the parking attendent he would have to let me park for free or there will be 200 students disappointed as I was the President of the association for which they were all awaiting their certificates. "Well someone else will just have to give them out." Me" Yes that would be a good idea, except they are all on my back seat." I parked for free.
I bet it was no issue for him to do that in the first place.
Load More Replies...Interestingly, some research has reported that being overconfident while participating in a group activity did not damage the person’s reputation — individuals who trusted their task performance (but were later revealed to be worse at the task than they had claimed) did not suffer a severe drop in their social status in the group relative to someone who had been well-calibrated.
The researchers concluded that "the status benefits of overconfidence outweighed any possible status costs."
So extreme cases aside, being featured on r/DontYouKnowWhoIam might not be the worst thing that can happen to you.
Experience ≠ Skill Level
yeah like an entry level job requiring years of experience
Load More Replies...Usually this happens because lead programmer said to HR "Hey we need to hire someone who knows FastAPI. HR not knowing anything, just puts down a number of years experience they think it is good and posts it. These are usually HR not knowing anything
And I always wonder why do these morons running these companies let HR write the job descriptions? I can see having them edit them, sure, they should know the legalistic restrictions and so forth. But instead of the person who knows what the job requires, having HR write ignorant, crazy job posts from scratch and then wonder why you can't get anyone to apply? Is everyone at these companies completely without any reasoning abilities whatsoever?
Load More Replies...Guess it's the same everywhere in the world. I often see those job offers where the ideal candidate is about 22 years with at least 5 years experience as managing director.
Wow! Always apply for jobs you want no matter what the requirements say. The people who write the job ads usually have no idea what that position actually does. I got turned down for a small raise by my supervisor, he said the owner said no. My stubborn ass went to the owner with a mini resume of my duties and experience to ask why. The owner was never actually approached and my supervisor apologized and gave me the tiny raise. Both men had a better respect for me after. The other lady in the department who was told I was basically her equal, not so much.
Do you really believe these companies have a Human Resources department? Fairly certain that HR is just some "department manager" the corporations have conned into assuming more work. Qualified? That would require "money".
Load More Replies...Hmm, so no one on planet earth (or the known universe) had 4 years of experience in FastAPI including the creator.
No, it's just too early for them to apply. Even for the creator 🤣
Load More Replies...Possibly they already had someone in mind for the position and this just guarantees they get it.
Load More Replies...Every boss wants a 23 year old college graduate with 30 years experience.
HR being responsible for the hiring process of things they don't understand has led to so many companies not being able to find talent. I'm a drafter and once had an interview where I was asked "how close" I can tolerance. Did not want that job after that question. That same company required 5 years of experience SPECIFICALLY with AutoCAD 2018 - posted the job in 2019.

Women do it too. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking we're so much better than men when we do some pretty similar things.
Load More Replies...I got this from my own family. My father insisted that a "Yield" sign meant oncoming traffic had to yield to him, and that I didn't know what I was talking about. I spent 4 years as the staff attorney for the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
This happened to me. Only when i told him I'm the author he just kept on talking.
"look mortified" you mean instead of actually admitting to being a condescending idiot and apologizing? That's not good grace that's just continuing to be a douche.
I mean if you feel like you have your stomach in your throat it's hard to talk. That level of embarrassment can make words hard cause your brain locks up. Sure it's better if they apologize but he at least didn't try to fight it and make it worse. Maybe he apologized later. We just know what she's saying.
Load More Replies...Nice 👍 Once in college we had a project about mental health. We were a group of 5 people. Since we all lived far from each other we decided to do the project online. Using Skype and emails. One of the group members, the lazy one , decided to copy and paste something she found online. The rest of the group were unaware about that. On the due date our professor seemed pretty displeased with us. She said “ I believe you guys copied this essay from somewhere online. “ We denied the plagiarism. Then our professor reaches out into her bag and gets her paper, she even made sure she highlighted all the bits that were copied. It was our professor’s work. Our lazy friend copied our professor’s paper 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Don’t You Know What I Am?
I have the strong impulse to comment, because I am a dam german. #DamGermansUnite (but not in a hostile 1933-1945 way ).
Load More Replies...Marco Rubio can't even get his xenophobic, anti-socialism fear-mongering right.
Marco Rubio probably wouldn't know a German if he or she whacked him upside that empty head with a bratwurst.
Remember when we first saw Rubio on TV, making a statement about something? Sweating bullets and so dry mouthed all he could do was constantly—-and awkwardly—-pause to drink from the water bottle they gave him. Body language indicating extreme nervousness. Sometimes it’s just stage fright. But in his case, it’s more like the kind of nervousness from knowing that what you’re about to say is an enormous pile of lies and bullshit, but you already met Beelzebub at the crossroads and sold him your soul, so you’re committed now, and can’t back out. Yeah, nothing’s changed, except he’s probably now on hyperhydrosis meds to dry up the flop sweat.

Load More Replies...He's Egyptian
Reply: "He can't be Egyptian because I did my research and the color of his skin isn't Egyptian."
He is, north aficans are from pale white to dark brown, but the black are sub-saharan (more south in africa) , also even by logic we are near Italy and spain which are white and we have the same climate as south europeans so as a north african i can tell you that african doesn't mean black
Load More Replies...People seem to think that the people of every African nation are black. Not so much along the Mediterranean.
Especially US americans often think that all north african, middle eastern and south european/american people aren't white. Whilst in reality most are. The thing is, that racism against a different colour is easy to understand for them, but racism that's against another culture of the same colour isn't. It's easy to say "all whites are bad and all PoC a victims" but that's simply pathetically wrong.
Load More Replies...This is because social media types are obsessed with finding "racism" where none exists, or the current buzz-phrase of "cultural appropriation". He's not the first either, someone moaned about Cleopatra not looking dark-skinned and "Egyptian" enough until someone pointed out she was Greek!
But then there is silent racism that nobody seems to give an F about, such as racism against Indigenous Native American people. I have first hand knowledge of this because my daughter has spent her whole life thus far being subjected to kids racism towards her.
Load More Replies...I just watched a blue eyed Egyptian speak on a Jon Stewart show. I can testify, Egyptians have a variety of heritages. There were folks who looked Italian and folks who looked Subsaharan African, all Egyptian.
My algebra professor in college was ALSO Egyptian. His eyes were green-ish/light hazel.

I was sick of people telling everyone s**t that wasn't true and then leaning on the "I have a PhD so even my inaccurate info is.. correct" When its a known fact, simply repeating something else over and over isn't going to make most people believe you
Load More Replies...And where are people looking things up? The scientist, who responded, is going to pursue colleagues but if not available she is going to look stuff up in peer reviewed journals.

Karen vs. Owner
"I want you fired, you and you and you! FIRED!!" what's wrong with you people?
The "customer is always right" gone wrong. I treat you like s**t you defend yourself. I want you fired
Load More Replies...I once was in a shopping Store waiting patiently for another till to open as it was getting busy when the lady behind me pushed in, when the young till operator questioned her and said i was before her she started a whole hooha and talking loudly and swearing how dare she say that to her a valued customer. The whole shop was looking at her, i said its fine you take the position i can wait, she got more angry and demanded to see the manager and that she would get me kicked out of the Store, i said go ahead lets see what he says. The young till girl called for the manager who came out of his office and tried to reason with the irate customer that i wasnt disputing anything even though she had clearly pushed in. Her reply was, i want her removed from the Store as she makes me uncomfortable saying i was accusing her. The manager turned to me and said loudly.... Mum see what you've done and we both burst out laughing!! The womans face was worth the hassle! even the young till girl laughed.
I read a story about 2 mature women walking into a store. The clerk is sitting on a stool at the counter on his laptop. One woman walks over and forcefully slams his laptop shut.She yells " You are paid to work not to play on your laptop" The clerk ? He said " I am the owner and you are now banned from my store. get the f**k out" He kicked them out for life.
Entitled type woman I know of had an issue with her daughters ex so she went into Wal-Mart where his mother worked and tried to make trouble for her. Manager permanently banned the troublemaker. I know the other woman as well and she was the better person even before it all took place. Sometimes you really have to love karma.

Unthinkable in most of Europe. If you act like that towards an employee, you'll get asked to stop nicely once. Then it's not so nice and it can get you thrown out rather easily. Or even banned. You can't just be impolite to a customer for nothing. But you don't have to take unreasonable sh!t from them either.
Load More Replies..."I don't care that she's the owner. Fire her or I'll have your head too!"
I worked for a screw machine manufacturer for 23 years. I would constantly get calls from men with questions. When I tried to help they would want to someone technical. Each and every time I would say "Just give me a shot" Almost every time the question was so basic (what is an outside diameter?") I had all I could do not to laugh. I'd answer their questions and then quite often get "Oh, I guess you do know".
I saw a great shirt yesterday--it had a name tag that read "Manager" and said "Don't tell Karen you saw me."
So funny! I am a veterinarian and the owner of my practice. Had a very rude client that would not take no for an answer. Demanded to see the owner. I looked at her and said "I am the owner, it is my final decision and I'm not going to do XYZ."
Accusing A Former Us Secretary Of Labor Of Being A Keyboard Warrior
A whole different congress back then, actually interested in helping their constituents and not just themselves and their corporate friends.
House still does. The Senate is full of Trump's pet rinos trying to raise taxes on the middle class and get rid of social security that they say us a entitlement and too expensive even though it doesn't cost taxpayers as it is a trust fund.
Load More Replies...I hate to tell you this, Lorissa, but if you don't know who Robert Reich is, you're pretty damned stupid.
So... the minimum wage was increased when Republicans ran the House and Senate, but not when Democrats ran both houses and the presidency? OK, this is one of the silliest cases of not knowing who you're talking to, but still... maybe Reich's choice to simply become a hyper-partisan social-media rager wasn't such a great idea? (Don't misunderstand me, folks: the Republicans are far more likely to oppose raising the minimum wage. I support doing so. But I get frustrated that the Democrats seem to like having it around as a campaign issue than actually doing something about it.)
A minimum wage that is so low that people on it still qualify for social assistance from the government amounts to the government subsidizing businesses to pay unreasonably low wages. That's a policy which is so insane that no-one in their right mind would ever vote for directly.
Load More Replies...Robert Reich has always been a badass. And he's 100% right. I'm a liberal independent, but the DNC are going to get their ässes handed to them in 2022, and it's all their fault. We'll all suffer because THEY can't get their shït together against the Clown College GOP.
Physician Didn't Read A (Verified) Acct Bio Of Another Doctor Before Patronising Him About His Area Of Expertise
There are people in my country who believe that Ivermektin (actualy horse pill to get them rid of tapeworms) can cure covid. Eventhougt, there is no study to prove that, some people eat this, they overdose on it and end up in hospital with covid and also kidney failure...
It's amazing that people are afraid of a vaccine but will pump their bodies with any animal de-wormer or bleach instead.
Load More Replies...I work.in an ICU. 98% of our COVID patients for the last 6 months have been unvaccinated, and many of them have died. The vaccinated don't even come to us unless they gave severe comorbidities (cancer being the most common), while the unvaccjnated get desperately ill or die. It's that simple.
For the curious: That drug is an antihistamine. So unless that's the worst hay fever ever, no, it won't do a da*n thing for the patient with that chest. Jesus wept...
Ah, the doctor getting all frustrated. Breath in, hold for 3 secs, breath out slowly. Repeat..
Load More Replies...The scary thought is , if people can be convinced to strongly oppose vaccines in-spite of the overwhelming evidence and research, these people can be made to believe any lies that suits those that perpetuate them :(
It’s the law of short words, repetitive phrases that sound good, and telling people it’s not their fault- it’s other people, they don’t have to take responsibility for their own actions or lack of action. Do it often enough, people vote against their own best interest, they don’t vaccinate to save against major diseases, but they’ll rush to the hospital to demand to be saved when Covid hits them because then it’s real and they want to live. If you don’t want the vaccine, save the bed for those who need it- cancer patients, heart attacks, dying children, and others. Yes, I’m tired of their c**p after them trying to remove my mask and wishing me to die.

Similar happened to me. My art teacher almost failed me because she said my drawings weren't free-hand. They totally were and I did one of them all over again with her there, she shut up after that.
Literature teacher brings out an anthology of poetry and passes it around telling us to pick a poem and analyze it. I'm leafing through and see a familiar name; my mom's maiden name. Turns out the inclusion in the book was first prize in a poetry contest she entered as a high schooler. So, I did exactly what anyone would do in this situation; asked her what the poem meant, wrote it up and turned it in. Teacher handed it back: it had a huge red "D" on it and notes as to the "real" meaning behind the poem. When mom saw it, she came to school the next day DURING CLASS and told the teacher SHE had written it and what I turned in was exactly what the poem meant. I just sat there looking at the teacher with a smirk on my face
Load More Replies...Wrote a poem in 8th grade. Pretty advanced poem for a 14 year old, about all the emotions I felt while listening to a particular piece of classical music. But I was a rather deep-thinking child, and the words just flowed out of me as I listened to the piece. My English teacher, familiar with my work over the semester, submitted it to the school district, for them to put in a yearly book of student achievements. They returned it, saying I didn’t write it. They said I cheated, and that some adult wrote it for me. My English teacher tried to stand up for my work, but they decided to publish one of my classmates’ poems instead. It was about the Ice Cream Man.
A similar thing happened to me in 8th grade. I wrote a short story and my teacher accused me of having my parent write it. My parent was my 89 year old great grandmother who only had a second grade education and was barely literate. I was so upset and angry because I worked so hard and failed. This teacher had met my great grandmother several times and knew I was in the gifted program and advanced literature classes and still accused me of plagiarism. Some people shouldn't be educators.

Next morning, she opened her overhead cupboard and my notebook fell on her head. She took it, read my name, smirked, handed me the notebook and went back to teaching. Can’t make this shyt up! I have earned a forever right to call her a fat-biyach! I hate you “kavita” (her name means poem in eng).
I had an English teacher in 10th grade accuse me of plagiarizing a writing assignment I did which was stupid because where would I even get a prewritten assignment on writing a letter to the mistress of the main character in A Good Earth? She called me up in front of the entire class and demanded I tell her who I copied the letter from because it was beyond my "reading level". I said I wrote it and then she tried to insinuate that it was impossible because I'm first generation Chinese-American and no one in my family could have taught me. When a friend asked me what that was about, I said she accused me of plagiarizing and this bitch of a teacher made a class announcement alluding to me misunderstanding her intentions.
My mother is Chinese and my 8th grade Advanced English teacher kept saying that I should be in Advanced MATH instead of English. When I told her I was in both (as were many of my classmates) she tried her best to fail me out. This was just outside Philadelphia in the early 1980s.

As a college freshman, I was short on time, so turned in some drawings I had done as a senior in HS. The prof accused me of stealing them from someone else, as I was obviously a talentless hack. I had already gotten A's on them from my HS teacher.
Two profs obviously had no idea what "fact checking" means or how to do it.
Accused of cheating...somehow...because I was well read and knew lots of vocabulary more advanced than my age/class. Teacher put me on the spot by asking me the definitions of words...in front of the class. I got them all right. She didn't apologize.

I actually knew someone called Tony Hawk when I was a kid. So yes, there definitely is!
Load More Replies...Seriously? When his name showed up on our rental list, the entire staff came in just to meet him.
Srlsy? 'Tony' Is a supe common first name, and hawk isnt the rarest last name there is!
This one's my favorite because it's funny without making me furious as well. Honest little mistake.
Who cares "which" Tony Hawk this is regarding. Who was this oh-so-clever employee to think that simply deleting the reservation was the solution? Perhaps a call/text back to confirm a reservation? Pity the poor "John Smith" or "Jane Doe" trying to lease a vehicle with this employee at the desk...
Try listing your name under: < Last Name: Smith > I always hear "Oh wow, that's a common last name!" I always reply: "Yup, someone has to have it to be so common. I guess it's me."

When you say "young lady" you must already know you're doing it wrong. Unless you address the rest as "old man", "middle-aged ambiguous person", etc.
I dont really get calling someone a young lady or a young man??? You wouldn’t call someone an old lady or an old man 🤔
Honestly "young lady" is something your mum would say and even then i don't find it okay
Load More Replies...I hate how men talked down to women. Terms like young lady sweetheart darling etc are condescending. Why do men talk to woman like they are little girls.
This "young lady" stuff has got to stop!!! Even if she had been the woman who brings the people their coffee, she deserves respect.
I had a coworker who used to say "girl" all the time, but self-corrected, so I gave him some slack.
She then asked the coordinator what's your role on the set now that you're fired
I'm the director. Pick up your last paycheck. I notify the production manager you're on the way.
I was the Program Director of a successful child care center and had a really nice office. One day, we had the Fire Department visit the kids on Friends in Our Community Day, complete with the firefighters in their gear and, of course, their truck. While the classes were outside exploring the truck, the HR Director came over for a visit. I’m brown-skinned and was pretty young, and she was Caucasian, in her early sixties. While we were chatting in my office, standing at the window watching the kids, a firefighter came in and joined the chat, sat in the “executive” chair, and then asked “Mary” if it was ok if he sat in her chair as he spun around in it. Mary looked at him, looked at me, and laughed. I very casually told him that this was my office, but, sure, he could sit in my chair. He jumped up, apologized profusely, hugged me and turned redder than his fire truck. He said he would never judge a book by its cover again. 😉
Another condescending title is "little lady". I calmly tell them, "I am not little; I'm taller than YOU. Also, the 'lady' part is questionable once you hear me speak, you f*cktard, p*ss encrusted, sh*t stain. They don't call me little lady again, and they avoid eye contact.
Anti-Masker Gets Shut Down Quickly
Not only "a policeman" but a Chief Superintendent!
Load More Replies...My ex boyfriend was a police officer. We were sitting in a cafe when a guy came in, trying to hawk counterfeit dvds. My ex told him to "take that s**t out of here." Guy got in his face and said "What are you going to do? Call the police?" One warrant card later and he picked up his s**t and left. Amazing what happens when you call their bluff.
Had the opposite once - man driving cut my husband up in an illegal move on the road and then tried to claim he knew it was legal because he was a police officer. Nope! Didn't fit anything in the highway code at all. Many requests for proof and his number so that my husband could take it further did not get anywhere. He might well have been an officer but he was certainly not in the right.
I feel that if people are prepared to gamble with their health, let them. Did the store specify that they wanted masks worn? Otherwise, I don't think it's fair for someone to use their job/position to bully someone into what should be a personal choice.
Yeah, cops unless under direct order can't force you to wear a mask either so "mall cops" - cops who are employed or security employed for specific stores or functions for stores - would really be the ones allowed to even try to implement these things. Wearing a mask isn't in the law, therefore it is not in their rights not job description to locally enforce and mandate. Too bad there are unfortunately police out there on a power trip.
So much left wing propaganda on here. I can’t even go through an innocuous seeming post without a little jab here or there of the communist agenda.
The health and safety of the public isn't left or right wing. It just IS. Masks have been proven to help. It's ok if you don't want to wear one, but it's also ok if others do.

Exactly! A sauna doesn't have to be uncomfortable to be 'good for you' at all! It should be something relaxing, that's all. It might be good for your hearth health, but there's not that much evidence that saunas have health benefits. Still, getting uncomfortably hot is not good.

A sauna is to heat, not parboil, which is what modern ones sometimes do, IMHO.
I’ve never understood the appeal of a sauna. I get up in Louisiana. I grew up in a sauna.
All saunas I've seen in the US people were in it WITH CLOTHS ON!
Load More Replies...To be fairrrrrrrr.... I think Joe Rogan is referencing when they use saunas to sweat out extra water weight, so they can cut weight to make a certain weight class in MMA fighting. (Not that it's a good or healthy method, but it's a method)
Physical discomfort is the body's warning that the water is too hot therefore unsafe for you. Get out of saunas that are too hot for you. A sauna should be calming, soothing, with no more than the very minor discomfort of sweating a little. One should be drinking water to prevent dehydration.

I hate when people comment on social media and start telling people to mind their own business when they don't like the reply. That reply button is the key to what makes it social media. 🙄
It is so true that you CAN'T just assume that all people who look even mildly Asian are Chinese. Example: Me and my friend coming back from the park where we had been walking our dogs. We walked past two babies in a twin pram and they looked like they/their parents were from somewhere in Asia. My friend then said, "Look at the pretty Chinese babies!". Safe to say we aren't really friends anymore. Kinda hard to tell her this though, as our sisters and parents are friends...
I'm Korean and people's first impression when they see me is that I'm Chinese.Because I am from Asia. Like wth, there are other countries in Asia, people!

Of course, it's the people who DON'T really know anything who are the quickest to criticise or correct. (Made for a great family saying, though!)
Unrelated but funny story. I traveled down from Northern California to Southern for a cousin's funeral. When asked about my relationship I informed my family that my boyfriend was a sommelier. Hours later a cousin finally asked what that meant.

My husband is a huge fan of Alice Cooper. He does look like a zombie. I don't care for AC's music but I would love to golf with him! I hear he's pretty cool and casual on the course. I also have a friend who is in a band who dress like zombies and would love to be compared to Alice. Just sayin...

We ALL have different colored skin, that’s what makes us beautiful. Why hate on someone because their skin has a different color? And hate even within a race? Crazy. I bet if the hater did their genealogy, they’d find that other race in their own history. We need to move past this illogical, hurtful, and destructive prejudice.
Skin tone prejudice is a real thing and not "racial nonsense" at all. A lot of the successful black models and actresses are lighter skinned. Rich black men have a tendency to marry women of a much lighter skin tone than themselves. Around the world, preference is still shown for black women with lighter skin tones, including in black majority countries. I get that in this case, the pictures are all of one woman, but the question about light skin is part of a bigger issue.
Bruh wtf? I am literally from Rio (Brazil), the city with the biggest carnival, and I can say that It's something that most of us take part on this festival, and actually, Brazil is much more diverse than people think. We are all mixed in someway here. We have a lot of african-decendents here, as well native americans. We have the largest japanese population outside of Japan and more italian decendents than Italy itself! Everyone here has a bit of everything on them, so just please, don't go around judging everyone because of something that you don't even understand properly.
Does anyone realise that to stop the masses ganging up together to fight oppression, the 'powers that be' practice a policy of 'DIVIDE AND CONQUER'. So while you are all mouthing off about different skin tones and oppressing each other the powers that be are in the clear. STOP IT. Forget skin and join together. Your oppression will NEVER END if you start in against each other. Choose your own battles and don't get carried away with white talk sh*t.

Twitter Telling The Autor To Read His Own Article
I appreciate that setting, but it does make for funny moments like this.
This is a good algorithm. There is 1 person out of 7.7 billion who wrote this article. Twitter created this so that the other 7.7 billion would actually read something before claiming what it says. TL:DR is the essence of spreading misinformation. They will link to Merk's page for Ivermectin as proof that it cures COVID without actually reading it and see its a dewormer contraindicated for things that don't involve worms because it can kill you.
Funny, but the algorithm doesn't know. This is like saying, "You don't own it if you didn't buy it from us." I've run into the same thing trying to promote articles I've written. The algorithm looks at Twitter users and sees users who believe Twitter IS the internet, or at least its main highway. Facebook users even more so.
Yeah, how is Twitter supposed to know that? It's just a computer algorithm.
All social media platforms are pointless unless you simply go along with offical narratives. Anyone who wants to question anything gets banned. They are good for sharing funny cat pictures and not much else
Those who get banned aren't "questioning anything", they're simply spewing out either hateful, or mind boggling conspiracy sh!t.

Parent: " You shouldn't monitor your kid's online activities. It's invading their privacy." Same parent 2 years later: "I really don't know where my kid got those fascist ideas."
Yes, you should monitor your kids, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't have any privacy. Don't overdo it. Knowing what the original post was about would help.
I agree and disagree. Yes, you should monitor your kids. But "monitor" shouldnt have to mean being over their shoulder every second. Or looking through a crack in their bedroom door while they're sleeping. I don't need a degree to know that you shouldnt overdo keeping your kid safe. Dont be a helicopter, you might think you're doing what's right by being a helicopter parent, but you're not.

I was amazed when I learned a neighbour used to work for NASA and help make the parts. As a kid I was like "Whooaaa did you get to fly in a rocket?" "No"
Lol! I think we all thought anyone working for NASA was an astronaut back then! My mom had an acquaintance that worked in a factory that made parts for the Space Shuttle. People thought that was so cool in the 80s... until one blew up.

Found This One On A Mcdonalds Ice Cream Machine Meme
If that thing is out of commission every day at the same time, maybe POST THAT SOMEWHERE PUBLICALLY? So people know not to come at that time for their ice cream? It's not like we do it on purpose, how are we supposed to know when the machine is out?
If you can't buy ice cream you're willing to buy something else. It's McDonalds, if you get in there you're likely to go out with something edible. Who can resist smart marketing?

Local Antivaxxer Says The Covid Vaccine Isn’t Actually A Vaccine
I have sadly seen a lot of people make the incorrect claim that it isn't an actual vaccine.
Then this should cheer you up; I have a cousin that don't believe it's a real pandemic, who believe that the gov. only wants to control the population (by using vaccines and 5G?), that Covid vaccines created the virus variants (But she doens't believe Covid is real?). She also believe in chem trails, deep state sh.t, that Michele Obama is actuelly a man and that Wayfair is actuelly a fron for child trafficing. Oh! She also believe that That orange clown will track and bring rich child abusers to justice...
Load More Replies...Wouldn’t saying that it’s not really a vaccine be a good thing? If people think that vaccines are the devil incarnate or something, just don’t call it a vaccine and it’s fine, right? It’s worth a shot, use their stupidity to our advantage.
@memyselfandI Honestly, I've been tired of these loud obnoxious antivaxx. When you suggested to use their stupidity to our advantage, first thing came to mind is just let them got Covid and die.
Load More Replies...My boss told me that they weren't getting the vaccine because we don't know what MRNA technology will do to us in the long-term, since we only developed it in the last year. I told them that wasn't true because we have been developing MRNA applications since, at least, the 90's. He told me I shouldn't believe what I read on "liberal websites". I told him I didn't read that online; I distinctly remember reading a research paper about MRNAs around 2000, which means it must have been developed before then. But he read that it had only been out for less than a year, and nothing could change his mind about that.
Why is it that hard to say: "I don't undrstand how this works, could you explain it to me, please?"

Load More Replies...Having been a player of MTG and a good friend to the creator of it's most popular card, Black Lotus, I can tell you it was never designed to be a children's game. As far as how the shops sell it, that's due to lack of an alternate description of the game. A game is a toy..but there is nothing that says toys are strictly for children. I miss Chris Rush. RIP
It wasn't owned by Hasbro when it began. Hasbro likely has rebranded. I remember Wizards of the Coast were involved- not sure if they were the originator of the game or the second owners...

My Favourite Artist Unrecognised
Too be honest, why would people always know how an artist looks? I mean, sure, if it's a singer or actor, you'd know. But I'm a fan of some painters and writers and I don't know what they look like. Doesn't matter either. I love their work, I don't need to Google their private life and see what they look like, etc.
Especially a musician you've not seen live, just played online!
Load More Replies...I have a few artists on my Spotify playlists, I like some songs by them, but I have no idea what they look like, so I probably wouldn't be able to recognise them. It's pretty normal.

I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong but it sounds like maia is making fun of the cashier for not recognizing her but to be fair if Jonathan Davis passed me on the streets I probably wouldn't even notice it even though I'm a fan :')
Same. Seems kind of stuck up to me. I have been to a lot of concerts and have met famous people that I didn't initially recognize. They were always nice about it because listening to someone's music is different than watching an actor or model.
Load More Replies...I've bumped into several musicians without recognizing them. Some of them were insufferable. Two young men in a bar rudely snapped at me about not giving autographs when I politely asked them to let me pass. I visibly destroyed their egos when I said, "I don't want your sloppy signature, I'm asking you to step aside so I can get back to my table." My friends promptly informed me that the guys were a famous drummer and lead singer. They aren't all bad, though. I bumped into a very chill group of guys in a service station once. They were asking the clerk where the best coffee house was. I directed them to a shop a couple of blocks away, and, since I was going that way, we walked and talked. I mention that I was in town to catch a concert that night, and they said they were that band. I was like, "Oh, cool!" and we parted ways at the coffee house.

Airbnb is bad in many ways. They encourage landlords to throw out tenants because they can make more from tourists, they don't pay tourist taxes, they don't care about the disturbance that tourists cause in residential areas and they drive up the rents in tourist areas. Yes Airbnb Bad

Load More Replies...For the person questioning why a homeless person has a phone and internet….I was homeless at the beginning of this year, however I had a phone (the cheapest one I could find) and internet access, without it 1.Homeless solution people wouldn’t be able to get in touch with me and 2. I wouldn’t be able to apply for housing. It’s 2021, when will people stop seeing Mobile phones and internet as luxuries only accessible to the well-off?
I'm glad you were able to get help. I hope you are in a better place now. People who have never been there, just don't undertsand. I was homeless before the time of cellphones. I couldn't get a job because potential employers could not contact me.... because I didn't have a phone. I put myself into an abusive relationship just so I could get back on my feet. Maybe if I had a cellphone, I wouldn't have had to choose between eating and not being beaten. Cell service in American costs $30-$50 a month, rent is $800 for one room with no utilities, no groceries, no phone - just a room. People need to stop comparing the two.

“Also, I’m Here Watching My Son Sebastian Play”
I see no issue on either side. It really depends on the tone. The first person could have been making polite conversation, and the coach could have had an a-hole attitude. Or the first person could have been being condescending, and the coach was simply snapping back. Or they both could have been making polite conversation in good humor. Who knows?
How nice that your ego is so big that you expect everyone in the entire world to recognize your face. There was zero need to be a d**k about it!
How is not condescending to ask a person, at a sport event, if they are a fan or if they are they attending because it’s ‘the place to be’? You have to be a ‘real’ sports fan to attend an event? Do you have to pass a test or something to meet a random someone’s idea of a fan?
