In 2014 wife, her niece, her sister and myself went to Disneyland Hong Kong. After wandering around for a while I had had enough so I went and found a cafe to wait for them. I had a book so I was content to do so. Sometime during the afternoon the regular downpour happened. It was hilarious, I had to stifle my laughter. People trying to out run the rain, people's umbrellas being blown out, stray umbrellas being hurled down the path. It was so entertaining it was worth the entry fee. Sometime later, not very long, an hour?, the rain stopped.
Not long after my entourage arrived at the cafe and we left.

I also have a wicked 7.5" long scar from the tumor excision surgery.

Play it wrong and your dingle glows in the dark and you grow a tail.

if people watching is fun for you, try going down to the local boat ramp on a nice weekend, right before dusk.

last time, a guy with a massive 40' dual motor boat with a sleeper bunk, puts his clearly-new girlfriend behind the wheel of a boat she's obviously too drunk to use, and never operated before so he can go fetch the trailer. shenanigan's ensue as drunk new girlfriend fights the current with a boat she's never operated to keep it near the dock, while the boyfriend clearly makes it known he's never backed up a trailer before. after about 30 minutes of bickering, they finally get it lined up and on the trailer. then she doesn't know to lift the outdrives. he proceeds to drag the outdrives all the way up the boat ramp, and they finish out the night with another 30 minutes of checking the damage and bickering

Oh, please. He's in there every day. I'd do something like that just to spread a little humor. A tail and light saber would be cool too. I don't really see a down side.

I won't be pranking the techs.

The target zone for the radiation requires that I have my arms up over my head and prevents me from using deodorant for several hours before the procedure. I believe the techs suffer enough.

TIL about "Pay Pigs" which are apparently men that send money to women to insult/financially dominate/demand more money online.

Some might call that marriage... (JK, my wife is great)

The world is indeed a strange place...

Didn't someone post something like a "Hire a Karen" website where you can pay a "Karen" to call and complain about a service you did not like.

Yes, that's different though. Hiring a Karen is to get something you want from someone else without having to deal with it yourself. Pay pig is a fetish.

Though I wonder who would win in a phone fight...

What about a pay-Karen-pig? Hmmm...

I mean, Im sure there are guys out there that would like to dress as a store clerk, and have their partner ask for a manager, so then the guy, next, dresses as the manager, so on and so on.

Not to mention that they have probably had it done to them 100 times already and any humour to be found was lost long ago.
Like saying "it must be free" to clerk when something won't scan or "We didn’t order that" when a server brings the bill. They were probably funny the first time they heard it but it is repeated several times a day and they are just tired of that shit.

Missed opportunities. You could've come up with snappy replies for all to enjoy. Do I whine whenever someone asks me how tall I am?
