Storytime

Copypasta of a person’s past experience or events that is so absurd it became a meme of its own. Usually untrue stories that tries to circle jerk opinions.


Natalie Portman is the reason I work out

    "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." meme

    Started as a comment on Reddit satirizing Anakin’s cheesy line of not liking sand when talking to Padme. The comment later became a meme and is often used whenever fans talk about Anakin hitting on Padme or impressing Padme in general.

    Natalie Portman is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries. She asks what I do. I say I loved her in New Girl. She laughs. I get my drink.
    
    "Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got her attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Natalie Portman? She touches her neck as she watches me leave.
    
    Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, she finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette.
    
    "Got a spare?" she asks.
    
    "What's in it for me?" I say as I hand her one of my little white ladies. She smiles.
    
    "Conversation with me, duh."
    
    I laugh.
    
    "What's so funny?" she protests.
    
    "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?"
    
    "You get used to it," she says, lighting her cigarette and handing me back the lighter.
    
    "What would you do if you weren't an actress?" I ask.
    
    "Teaching, I think."
    
    "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?"
    
    "Discipline," she says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?"
    
    "Bermuda," I say.
    
    "Oh wow. That's lovely."
    
    "It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking."
    
    "What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" she inquires.
    
    "I don't like sand," I tell her. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

    I need your advice… I have a 12 year old sister called Melisa but I started calling her Yui

      The SAO live action remake is looking fucking wild
      I need your advice...
      
      I have a 12 year old sister called Melisa but I started calling her Yui when I became an otaku when I was 15 and later, she became an anime fan when she was 11. Now I have done something so terrible that I can't sleep...
      
      What happened is that I'm a lolicon, I like loli hentai... For a month, she saw me watching that hentai and then she investigated on the subject herself... I didn't know she was spying on me so I kept watching my degenerate shit unconcerned, until one day Yui called me Onii-Chan. I felt very shameful but everything got out of control when she started to moan like a loli to make fun of me... That cunt thought she was a loli. I didn't think much of it, until I started to think that... She could like me.
      
      I know it's sickening but since incest is my fetish, I started to woo her and little by little, we fell in love... We even got to the point of kissing.
      
      One night our parents weren't home she and I had sex... No joke, that was the best damn night of my life. We did it over and over again and I lost control of myself when she moaned and called me Onii-Chan. We were a couple in secret... Since she was 12, I never thought I'd get her pregnant...
      
      She was at our grandparent's home when she sent me a message telling me that she was pregnant. I couldn't sleep that night and I didn't know what to do, I was considering making her have an abortion... I thought the protagonists in these stories were happy... Now I know how hard the life of two siblings who love each other with a 5 year age gap could be.
      
      Yui has offered me to act like it was rape and I had nothing to do with it, but for some reason I can't accept it. I have until Monday to find a solution...

      >ask the gym receptionist if their gym is based or cringe

        Anon ask if the gym is based or cringe

        Its from a 4chan post where Anon asks the gym receptionist if their gym is based or cringe. This is a classic greentext copypasta that has produced many different variations.

        Based or cringe

        >looking for a new gym
        >ask the gym receptionist if their gym is based or cringe
        >she doesn't understand
        >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is based and what is cringe
        >she laughs and says "it's a good gym sir"
        >buy a membership
        >it's cringe

        Creepy or wet

        Anon ask if the gym is creepy or wet

        The “creepy or wet” version came when someone (allegedly) had an AI generate some greentexts. The AI spit out the exact same text as the original, except instead of “based or cringe” it said “creepy or wet.” So, it hadn’t actually generated something original, just replaced two words on an old greentext that it had been trained on. But that version of the meme somehow became more popular than the original.

        Recently I decided to go to my local fighting game tournament.

          Recently I decided to go to my local fighting game tournament.
          
          Here's how it went.
          
          I had been getting pretty good at Guilty Gear over the past few weeks, to the point where I was getting the input correctly for the Potemkin Buster 1 out of every 4 or 5 times I tried it. So I thought "I might not be the best yet, but, surely good enough for my local" -- and I decided to go.
          
          It took place at a the comic & games store in the town center. The venue was full of people 10-15 years younger than me and even more drastically cooler. They all turned to glare at me as I walked through the door, but as I stood completely motionless like a gazelle hoping to blend into the grassland, their gazes slowly returned to each other and they continued to banter friendlily.
          
          I sat down next to me first opponent, and reached out to shake their hand. They looked down at my hand, and then up at my eyes slowly.
          
          "You're supposed to do that at the end of the match."
          
          "Oh, s-sorry"
          
          I got perfected twice and lost the match. At the end, I reached out again to shake their hand, but they just stood up and walked away.
          
          Because I lost, I got moved down to the loser's bracket, which was literally below the main tournament because it took place in the basement of the comic shop. I could hear footsteps, cheering, and happy conversation in the floor above. Here in the loser's bracket though, the mood was a lot more somber.
          
          My next opponent reminded me a little bit of me. They were equally nervous and disheveled looking. They said "Um, h-hello" and reached out their hand for a handshake as they saw me approaching. I said "you're s-supposed to do that at the end of the match." But as a look of deep sadness came over their face and they slowly put down their hand, I pulled them in for a hug.
          
          I'm not sure why I did that.
          
          I think that some part of me knew that, in this dark, dank, alien place, illuminated only by a single failing ceiling light and the neon glow of a few arcade machines, I had at last found a friend -- someone I understood, and who might understand me too.
          
          They hugged back.
          
          I lost that match by a very narrow margin, and as they jumped up and began dancing around and cheering ecstatically, I began to hate them. This was no friend of mine. A friend would not do this to me. After they were done dancing, they reached out to shake my hand. After a few seconds of pause, I stuck out my hand too, but didn't look at them and refused to close it around theirs as they grasped it. They shook my karate chop.
          
          I thought that at that point, since I had lost and then lost in loser's bracket, I was free to go home. But one of the tournament organizers approached me and informed me that I was going down to sub-loser's bracket in the sub-basement of the store, and pointed me towards a descending staircase.
          
          The people there were fewer, and it was darker. I could faintly hear sobbing in one of the corners, but as I went to investigate, another participant put his hand on my shoulder. He furrowed his brow in a look of pain and shook his head slowly.
          
          "You can't do anything for them."
          
          In sub-loser's bracket I went up against a man in a suit whose face was cloaked in shadow. He spammed May's dolphin move. I lost.
          
          As I went to go back upstairs, one of the tournament organizers held out her palm to stop me, and pointed towards a staircase leading further down instead.
          
          Going down through the levels, I lost to many interesting participants. One player played exclusively by bashing the controller against his face. One player was a mushroom with a few circuit cables clipped onto it, that I later learned was able to play because its bioelectrical signals got sent to a machine that interpreted them as fighting game inputs. One player didn't touch their controller at all, but instead just told me their life story, which was so tragic that I picked up their controller and won for them.
          
          Finally, at the very bottom floor, where construction standards were long abandoned and the stairs and walls were just messily carved out of the earth's stone, I faced my final player. It was a small bit of metal framework, with a controller nestled in it. On it was a tiny piston that just pressed the jab button exactly once every second. I lost.
          
          I hung my head for a moment, then said "close game" and stuck my hand out for a handshake, before remembering that I had played against a metal framework cube with a piston in it and retracting my hand slowly. Then I heard a slow clapping from the darkness.
          
          "No neutral. No footsies."
          
          Out of the darkness slowly walked a woman about my age, clad in a decorative poofy dress that looked more expensive than my entire life savings. She smiled at me warmly, continuing to clap slowly, but there was a hint of mischief in her eyes.
          
          "No meter management. No mixups. No spacing. No learning. No strategy…
          …You're perfect."
          
          "Wh-what?"
          "You're perfect. I absolutely must have you."
          
          "Have me for…um…for what…"
          
          (Her eyes went wide as her smile grew more manic.)
          "WHY, MY MORON FAILSON HAREM OF COURSE."
          
          "Um, I-I"
          
          "Tell me, what do you do for a living? Let me guess, you work at a fast food restaurant? Or, retail?"
          
          "No, I'm a--I'm a comic artist."
          
          "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh my god, you are PERFECT. What will it take to get you."
          
          "To-to ge--"
          
          "You would be well taken care of, of course. 3 Michelin star dining for every meal. Only the finest, softest sweatpants and sweatshirts, pre-stained with whatever flavor of Takis your little heart desires. You would have access to the entire mansion except for the main foyer when I'm in business calls, and you could make all the comics and play all the fighting games you want."
          
          "I'm uh--"
          
          I knew that I had to think fast here.
          
          "I'm already i-in a moron failson harem."
          
          "Oh, DARN IT!! TELL ME, WHO IS IT??? WHO GOT YOU??"
          
          "I-I think I'm not allowed to s-sa--"
          
          She stomped her foot petulantly, her shoe clacking against the stone floor.
          
          "WAS IT SHUXUAN?? IT'S ALWAYS SHUXUAN HOGGING ALL OF THE GOOD ONES."
          
          "I-I'm sorry," I blurted out, shuffling along the wall to make a wide radius around her and then running up the staircase.
          
          As I got home and began making my standard dinner of Trader Joe's microwave falafel, I thought about her offer. Maybe I should have taken her up on it after all. A 3 Michelin star meal right now wouldn't be so bad.
          
          Then I hopped on Guilty Gear and lost 22 matches in a row.

          I rejected a CV from a candidate twice. He applied for the third time, and I called him for an interview.

            I rejected a CV from a candidate twice.
            
            He applied for the third time, and I called him for an interview.
            
            And guess what? We offered him a role right after the interview.
            
            Now, a year later, he has become the Team Leader and is performing excellently.
            
            The lesson I learned from this: do not always judge a person solely based on their CV.
            
            Sometimes, they are more than that one-page profile.
            
            Give a chance to candidates; they have energy and ideas more than you can think of.
            

            Hired a clown to perform but its actually a clown date

              Oh I can't believe it no one showed. Who's gonna eat all these oysters and drink all this champagne? I hate to see it go to waste. Why doncha join me clown? Feel free to take your big red nose off I keep it warm in here. You sure you don't want to take your big red nose off I could hang it on the rack. (What are you some kind of serious clown).... why don't you have some more booze clown? We'll revisit the big red nose after 2 bottles. I bet it will slide right off sexy easy. Give us a little peek of what's underneath. If its another nose I'm going to tickle your cheek with a rose and call you my little Russian nesting doll. If it's an ear or something instead I might need a few drinks myself. But I might still be into it as long as you keep the paint on.
