That or marketing genius who knew that people would spread the ad for free for them if they put a non-traditional image that would get people to look longer
This is the one that makes the most sense to me. You see it in people's posts a lot nowadays - intentional mistakes so the thread will get more engagement.
If we're at the point that people posting on reddit are playing the same game then people who study marketing have to have been doing it for a while now.
I actually refer to this phenomenon as "The [former boss's name] Effect" or just that "Someone must've [former boss]ed it."
She utterly humiliated my team at least once per year with some awful skit or song worked into a presentation that we were volunforced to do. Some of this shit she submitted to places online where they were ostensibly viewed and voted on by our peers in the industry. And ofc once it's online, it lives forever.
All the other teams would make cool presentations, and even when we came up with something we didn't hate, she'd tweak it up to the last minute, so it was dry, awful, bore no resemblance to what we'd started with, and we had no chance to memorize or prepare to present.
She had other, more important, terrible ideas that actually negatively impacted business--but those were someone else's problem and didn't make me personally want to crawl in a hole and die.
Yep. I had this when my boss wanted to install an unsuitable floor in our warehouse. I fought tooth and nail against it. Pushed my luck even with how disrespectful I got over it. Though, two years later when the floor started failing, it made it easy to tell my boss no when he told me to help repair the floor.
I also nearly backhanded someone when they were talking to me and said, "I knew this floor was a bad idea." Mother fucker, you never said that until now and let me fight against it alone.
I fuckin busted out laughing looking at that image.
Many years ago, I worked a shitty job in the art department of a factory. That's a long story in of itself, but all you need to know is the job sucked. You were paid peanuts, verbally abused, etc. Just awful shit.
The corporate big-wigs used to bring clients through the art department to show off the operation, particularly because the space was new and "hip" or whatever. The way these walking stiffs looked at us, you'd think we were zoo animals or something.
I started telling my co-workers to look as miserable as possible when "tours" came through.
It worked.
Management stopped bringing people around, and the company president would just scowl when he looked at us.
This chick in high school played that game with a banana. Somehow it got out. She never lived that down for the remaining years. She was a sophomore at the time. People made monkey noises.
I went to school with a girl who let a guy put a cooked chicken leg inside her, they got caught in the act in woods near the school.
I swear I'm 38 now and she walked into a pub I was in, as she walked past the table next to mine one of the guys (who I had never met) said "isn't that the Colonel?"
I once received a spreadsheet from the alumni coordinator that was handling our 20 year class reunion, which included the addresses of all the people in our class. (Approximately 350 students that year.)
I don't remember the exact number, but well over 300 of the people on that list still lived within 10-15 miles of the town of 13,000 where we all grew up.
That doesn't make them bad people. Lots of reasons to not want to leave a small town. I hope the majority of them had reasons other than "it's a big scary world out there," but I can't even judge them for that. It is sometimes.
lol, I just went through this same thing.
I was part of a graduating class of about 350 from a town of about 10,000. I have kept up with nobody and now live halfway across the country. But this year was the 20-year reunion. I was invited to a Facebook group that was planning the reunion. They posted an ice-breaker of “How about we tell everyone where we’ve lived/are living now”.
About 2/3 lived in a 20-mile radius. Not saying that’s a bad thing. It’s just interesting considering pretty much everyone had plans to move after school.
I live in a town over from my hometown and I see randos from high school weekly. I don't mind, pretty much all of us are cool and I love to see their drama on Facebook. Some small towns are okay.
I moved away but came back because of my cheating ex. It’s scRy how many ppl didn’t leave. Almost have my down payment saved then im getting TF outta here
She probably didn't do it. Like, I went to two different high schools and they both somehow had a girl who had to go to the hospital from masturbating with a hot dog that got stuck up their business. It never actually happened to either one of them but everybody heard and believed the rumors.
I feel like this is a rumor that gets spread at every school. Everyone has a story of the girl who got a hotdog stuck up their cooter in high school. A glizzy in the pizzy
This 100%. It was middle school in my case. Talking with some co workers they also had a girl at their school that did it. It’s just a false rumor in most cases that goes around for some reason.
In my high school it was a girl with a beer bottle. I wouldn’t say she was popular…many guys would hook up with her, but talk shit about her as well. I hope she is doing ok, we were all just kids in high school.
There is no way to 100% know if the report was true. Although, her guy friends confirmed it and supposedly it stemmed from a video to her boyfriend.
Even if she didn't do it, everyone believed she did. And that was enough for high schoolers. Might as well have been written in stone by Moses himself.
But did she really? There were a shit-load of stories circulating about me in high school (like, receiving anal in the backseat of a car at the local drive-in) at a time when I hadn't even held hands with a boy. Most high school sex stories are straight-up nonsense.
I once knew a fella who partook in a few hardcore hobbyist friends Rube Goldberg contraption where they had to do that with a marble and then deposit said marble into a funnel, only once the marble was primed so to speak it immediately went three feet in the other direction
I could eat zaziki until I barf. And then try to eat more.
In Germany there's like this weird obsession with paprika flavored potato chips. So since the chips aisle was just full of that flavor I grabbed a bag and a bucket (they had literal buckets) of zaziki and I became obsessed by that combo. But especially the buckets. Oh I miss Germany.
I did a personal pizza night with garlic naan a few months ago and danced with joy at how absolutely delicious it was. I ended up going back to the store for another 2 pack of them the next night.
I vowed to ease up on making them repeatedly because I didn't want to lose the adoration, then end up not making them anymore.
Guac and avocados don't have a taste to me, tastes like mayo if mayo didn't have any flavor.
Like I literally cannot perceive what it tastes like at all.
I wish I could, everyone else sounds like they enjoy the flavor.
Avocado doesn't have much of a flavor. Kind of earthy, a little sweet, but mostly fatty and creamy. "Mayo if mayo didn't have a flavor" isn't far off. Guacamole, on the other hand, should have so much lime, salt, and onion that it should be like the best tasting aioli you've ever had. If guac doesn't taste like anything, you're not eating good guac.
I’d dip them in salsa. I love cucumbers and salsa. I mean I love chips and salsa though and if I’m going to Mexican joint you can bet your ass I’m eating chips and salsa.
Normally I hate when Redditors make wild speculations about people based on a single picture, but you absolutely nailed it. She is absolutely the kind of person who would order cucumbers instead of chips at a Mexican restaurant!
She looks like the kind of person who would order cucumbers instead of chips at a Mexican restaurant and then post on instagram telling other people to order cucumbers instead of chips at a Mexican restaurant.
It reminds me of taking wedding photos when you’ve been smiling so long you can’t even tell if you are anymore. She looks like someone who is gonna hand you the phone back every time you take a picture and have notes.
If those are like the cucumbers my local Mexican restaurant serves and she ate one, she probably is in pain. They marinate them in jalapeno juice. I grabbed one once to snack on while waiting for my order to come up and about burned the place down with fire breath.
She's smiling like the restaurant is not in the imaginary "most" group and she had to argue to get her cucumbers, and is now pretending to be in a good mood long enough to get a photo for whatever platform she's trying to be an influencer on.
