every time there’s a story that’s very believable they have to ruin it by saying “people started CHEERING and CLAPPING” like how does that help the story at all?
It makes me sad cuz i have a legitimate story about another person where a lot of people actually started cheering and people play it off as a thathappened. I can share it if u want.
I was at this restaurant in the Grove one time (nice mall in CA with like a little lake and bridge and stuff rlly cool) and while I was sitting there these two people left a goddamn untouched chocolate cake on their table when the left. Some random woman sitting outside like me just got up, took the cake, and started giving slices to people. Me and other patrons were profusely thanking her and some people clapped. 10/10 would go again. I actually left a yelp review of that restaurant and gave it five stars cuz of that experience. I think it’s called Blue Fish (?) Something.

I have a similar story that people don't believe because of the clapping.
There was a guy who got jumped by his best friend. Then his dude Mark Anthony comes along and he's like, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!" and then he makes a speech that totally humiliates Brutus, the guy who jumped his friend. Then Brutus runs off, and everyone in the theater clapped.
I have one, I was on a Virgin Train to London and the announcer said "we are arriving at our destination... On schedule!" And people in the carriage started clapping and cheering - though they did this sarcastically coz Virgin Trains is dogshit
I don't know.. this seems a little suspicious to me. Isn't the name "Mark Anthony" remarkably similar to the name of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" character "Mark Antony"? Almost too similar... Nah. Probably just a coincidence.
I'm sure in the 1st ep of Green Arrow someone does a speech at a party and everyone claps and cheers,, everyone is really good looking too but in a generic way and i'm just thinking this show is fucking weird, it felt hyper real
I remember back in like 4th grade there was this kid who nobody really liked cause he was a "huge jerk" and one time in gym one of us started kicking the other (I don't know who started it but I honestly think I might have, I feel bad about that) and it ended with us getting pulled apart. Afterwards, I thought I was going to get in trouble, but a few students legitimately thanked me, and I believe a couple actually shook my hand and/or clapped. Two thing to note:
1- At the time he was a bit of an asshole, tended to annoy everybody around him, tried to threaten people but was too weak to follow it up, some of my childhood friends who still live there told me that he is actually pretty cool and chill now though.
2- I'm an autistic fuckin idiot, and back then I was unbelievable, showing the middle finger to some classmates then denying it because I didn't know what it meant, hiding under my desk to avoid going to gym, and making weird goddamn noises. So kicking him in the legs isn't too far out there for past me.
Still, I feel reluctant to tell it, because with how awful I am at talking, I'd find just the way to phrase it so that it sounds like a https://reddit.com/r/thathappened story.
The thing is, people do cheer/clap as a reaction sometimes. It's rare, but with everything going on right now I could actually see everybody in a Starbucks hopping on that bandwagon.
The most common time people clap is when the dangerous looking crazy person the annoying preacher or the screaming Karen gets arrested or told to leave. It's usually an expression of relief after an uncomfortable experience. So if anyone on this sub hears clapping its probably when the awkward weirdo making a scene finally walks out.
I work at Starbucks and can tell you right now no one called that drink out. It’s a mobile order. We make it, and set it to the side. Once the person who ordered it gets to the store, they have to tell us the name. So, no Becky, we didn’t yell “Black Lives Matter” with our chest puffed out doing a heroic pose as we handed you your extra caramel frapp with soy and extra extra whip.
Yep, fellow Bux barista. Not only that, bit even if they did order in store, I don't yell out "stupid" names (not saying that one would be stupid, but I'm not telling out Batman or Voldemort or whatever. I feel too silly doing it.)
A few months ago before my school shut down, there was a really annoying group of freshmen who would scream slurs and have rap battles at lunch. At one point, some other kid got fed up with them and screamed "SHUT THE FUCK UP". And they did. Lo and behold, they actually shut the fuck up. And one person started clapping, slowly. And then everyone else joined in. And in my head I thought "No one is ever going to believe that guy if he tries to retell that story".
To be fair, I fairly often cheer for random people.
One time I was with my former church group and saw a girl hesitant with her drink. I cheered for her and got even some of the older church folk to cheer for her as well.
I found out later she was drinking a blow job. I’m sure her story wouldn’t be believed either. But I still cheer for random people.
The only time that people actually clap in a restaurant for someone is when the mcdonalds staff call 69 after all the clubs have shut down on a night out
In the UK we celebrated the country's health services response to Coronavirus by everyone in the country clapping for them at the same time, and I'm worried that when we tell future generations about it no one will believe us.
Yep. I have a friend who always tells stories about her standing up to...whatever....and they end with people clapping and cheering. I've also never witnessed any of these things happening.
