Wait, what? @onestrangerangel - Tumblr Blog

I'm watching The OA and the first episode freaked me out because OA's near-death experience as a kid reminded me of something that happened(?) to me as a kid. I don't know if it really happened or if it was a dream or what but when I got my appendix out, there was an angel (or two?) who told me that my life was going to be very hard and I could choose to die. And then I think they showed me heaven and the future to make my choice fair and they wiped my memory of heaven and the future before I woke up. I just remember that I chose life because my family needed me, they really needed me, even though my life was going to be really hard.

Who knows what it was but it's so weird that OA had that woman tell her that her life would be hard and she needed to choose what to do. Gave me chills.

Total chills.

Let’s see you little punks smash my letterbox now

This reminds me of this guy who used to live on my dad’s street.

Every time it snowed, the snow plow would take out his mailbox - and only his mail box. And just to be clear - it was done intentionally. No one knows why, but the driver of the snow plow would target his box and mow it down. He’d call the DOT to complain, and would get an earful of excuses that amounted to “not our fault you have a wimpy mailbox.”

Fast forward to the next winter. First decent snow starts falling, and every kid is hoping for a snow day. It was right around 4:30 am that the whole neighborhood was woken up to this loud CLANG and the screech of tearing metal. My dad made it to the window first and started laughing his ass off.

Sitting out side was one very totaled, and almost ripped in half, snow plow. And these weren’t little pick-up trucks with a blade on the front, we have these up in NY:

Well, turns out over the summer, my dad’s neighbor got himself a backhoe and sank a steel I beam into the ground in his front yard. Then he covered it with a decorative wood sleeve and topped it with a brand new mailbox. When the snowplow driver tried to mow it down it was a bad case of immovable object meets unstoppable force - and the mailbox won. With the plow firmly impaled on the I beam, it was very clear that the driver had gone out of his way to hit it.

Naturally, the DOT wasn’t happy, and the neighbor’s reply was simple: “Not my faulty you have a wimpy snowplow.” They did try to sue him for the damages, but as he had gone to the town, gotten approval for the post and its installation, and made sure everything was up to code, it was thrown out pretty quick.

And for anyone wondering about the driver… He was fine. His job and tighty-whiteys … not so much.

That is a very satisfying read.

There‘s an episode of CSI where a man fills his mailbox with cement because ppl would drive by and hit it off the post with a baseball bat and it ends up killing two people by ripping the passenger’s shoulder and causing a crash killing both and the owner gets arrested for negligent homocide so there’s that…

Gotta love those insane CSI style 1000 ways to die they created!

what is the point of gigi

onestrangerangel

I would hate her job. She doesn’t get to taste anything and she basically has to calm people down, make them think about what they’re doing at that moment, or yell about how much time is left. Or narc to the judges about what everyone is making.

i’m just going to say it: kate didn’t deserve to win zumbo’s just desserts, she kept getting in the bottom two and barely winning the zumbo challenge, whereas ali has consistently performed amazingly and been head and shoulders above the other contestants and deserved to have that taken into consideration for the final judging 😤

onestrangerangel

Omgsh yes! I was so mad at the finale when they announced Kate. I thought I heard wrong. Like how can they not consider all the other desserts she had fucked up and kept her in the bottom several times? She could never get her presentation together, and even though her flavors were good, that last one sounded disgusting. Ali honestly should’ve been the winner, IMHO.

Dear God: Please Make Men Less Annoying

So I’m watching Zumbo’s Just Desserts (Season 1) and there’s this contestant, Daniel, who is just… the absolutely most annoying man on Netflix right now. Ugh.

This mother of fuck.

The point of this show is that everyone in it is NOT a professional pastry chef, but they’re here to compete for $100k (Australian moneys) using what skills they’ve learned! Some of them are stay-at-home moms, some of them have office jobs that they desperately want to escape, some of them are just looking for some sort of sign that they are good enough to be a pastry chef.

Daniel is a bouncer. He’s also a snarky little witch the entire time; he talks crazy shit about all the contestants (most of whom are female) and trash talks their ideas for the challenges. He’s not good enough to ever get “best dessert” at any challenge, but he still thinks he’s such hot shit.

So finally it comes down to an elimination round between him and another contestant, Kate. Basically how the game goes is, the two weakest desserts of any challenge do a “Zumbo Challenge” and the loser of THAT goes home.

He is talking MAD SHIT the entire Zumbo Challenge, and at one point even says, “Well, if she beats me, then a home cook just sent me home.”

At which point the two women who are not in the Zumbo Challenge sitting on the sidelines look at each other and go, “… Wait… isn’t HE a home cook?”

Yes, he is! He is a home cook. He is a BOUNCER. He is not a professional chef in any capacity, but for some reason he still looks down on Kate for being a home cook? What in the actual fuck?

It’s crazy how men just kind of consider themselves to be born-again experts at any field they show the mildest interest in, and just so casually and easily put down their female counterparts in the SAME EXACT POSITION. It was infuriating to watch specifically because I come across this attitude all the time (as a female chef); men who are untrained cooks below me still feel as though they can condescend to me (they are my EMPLOYEES) about cooking – even the most basic of culinary expertise, things that I’ve done with my eyes closed for ten+ years by now in the role of KITCHEN MANAGEMENT.

Some men are just so. Fucking. Irritating.

He lost, btw, and got sent home. Fuck you, Daniel. I hated you from episode 1.

onestrangerangel

Totally agree with you about Daniel! He was such a fucking prick and made my eyes roll to the back of my head until he was gone.
