Has he ever actually taken an Uber because you don't pay them directly...you just get out of the car at the end of the ride.

reddit posted:Last Saturday my restaurant got raided during peak service. Helicopter overhead, super overkill. The restaurant I assistant-manage employs a tonne of foreign workers, and some plonker called in a malicious tip that we're employing an illegal immigrant as a kitchen porter. Cue like 15 immigration officers covering every exit, barging through while people are eating, demanding everyone stay exactly where they are and nobody leave.

They quietly left through the back door, and climbed to their helicopter.

Not that it's true either way but you realize that a helicopter overhead isn't dropping down immigration agents like the loving SWAT, right? Helicopters help them watch exits.

Furia posted:Ok but why would you deploy a loving helicopter out of loving nowhere? One time a guy jumped the fence into our apartment complex, probably to steal bikes and stuff from the garage. He scared one of the tenets while in there and the police were called. The front office told us to be on the lookout for him and when I went out onto the balcony to water some plants, I saw the dude jump the fence to the business next door. He climbed on top of the roof but I couldn't see him after that, so went down, told the cops, and assumed that would be about it. Like 5 minutes later, 6 cops showed up and started up to the roof. My boyfriend noticed a helicopter, but I was like naw, that's probably just weather or traffic helicopter. Nope, it started circling the building and shining this huge light onto the roof of the business. So yeah, I can see the cops just waiting to bust out a helicopter to go gently caress up some immigrants. The business was also a pharmaceutical company, so maybe that's why, but it still seemed a bit over the top for some dude stealing bikes.

From everything I know of American law enforcement, I'm 99% sure that you see poo poo like helicopters and armored cars and battering rams getting deployed for no reason other than the officers think it would be badass and they need an excuse to use their toys.

I hate that man just for the "some plonker" line. If you're American, there is no natural way to use "plonker".

Maybe to describe a torpedo-like, splashing turd, but otherwise I agree

# ? Oct 16, 2016 00:54 |

I would think a plonker would be less torpedo like and more amorphous and uncomfortably shaped. Certainly accompanied with a surprising amount of backsplash.

Suckquote:This troper is a rare Real Life example of this trope, with the unfortunate exception that I cannot remember it all, and I can't voluntarily remember something at the expense of something else. I can tell you what kind of shirts were on sale at the Gap when I passed it, but I can't get a decent score on a history test. Blessed With Suck, indeed. Work quote:This Troper has been able to perform this on occassion, but it is usually something he has to intentionally do. Picking up on accents, bumper stickers, jewelry, hair styles and other things can reveal a lot about someone. But he has also noticed that you have to have the required knowledge to associate such observations. After a few years with various jobs and observing others work habits, he was able to predict a new co-worker not lasting long because of his lack of a strong work-ethic, self-idolizing and flirtatious behavior. Sure enough, he eventually left after a sexual harassment complaint. Robot quote:This Troper was walking down the hallway of his high school when without warning, a large robot of the kind used in battlebots zoomed around the corner before stopping about a foot away, with no operator visible. While it was unarmed and was basically a large wedge on wheels, it had enough raw power that it could go a at a jogging pace even with a person standing on the damned thing, which made its sudden and unlikely appearance rather disconcerting. Class quote:Beat this - in a now infamous Year 13 (17-18 year olds) Advanced English class at this troper's old high school, after watching the David Mamet film Oleanna (which depicts feminists as conniving and destructive), the teacher led the whole class in convincing the then-Head Boy to break up with his girlfriend (who went to another school in the area) of a year-and-a-half. In class. Live over the phone. While the students shouted "Break the shackles!" School quote:This troper's entire school took a day off to see Star Wars Episode I when it was released. We showed up at school, bussed to the theatre, watched the movie, and that was it for the day - everybody went home. Not for any particular reason, either. The principal was a big Star Wars fan, apparently. Books quote:Oh you guys.. I read a textbook on psychology... in the summer between elementary and middle school.. and understood all the concepts.

hyperhazard posted:Sean Hannity is such a badass. Serious question: does knowledge of these disciplines really transfer into the ability to defend oneself properly in an actual fight situation? I know it's a common stdh trope to have a 5'2" /110lb dude beat off a bunch of bullies with his highly cultivated kung fu skills, but is there any truth to that at all? I mean, if you're a krav maga guru then you can probably handle yourself just fine, but is there any evidence the knowledge gained in these courses actually translates into a real ability to defend yourself in a spontaneous fight situation?
