The first time I robotripped using delsym instead of Robitussin I didn't think about how delsym lasts way longer. I woke up the next day still tripping and went into my retail job, hoping to hide out in a quiet corner until it passed.

Of course that was the day the regional manager was visiting the store and I had to give them a tour of my department for some reason.

In the Netherlands, they take celebrating carnaval very seriously. Nobody walks straight the Monday after carnaval. Still, they forced a guy to come in on that Monday. The guy was there, at 8 am. There went to work straight from the bar, undefined stains on his clothes, smelling of beer and cigarettes, shedding small amounts of confetti when he went for coffee, but he was there. Nothing much productive was done that day. How management thought it would turn out any differently is anyone's guess.

Did you give a good tour tho

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Maybe regional manager was stoned too.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 3 minutes ago

Definitely a possibility. I did catch several store managers smoking weed in the parking lot (as I smoked weed in the parking lot)

You get paid $5000 per day for the rest of your life (matching inflation), but the American Kitchen Nightmares editors get to omnisciently and in real time control the sound effects in your life. Only you hear them, but you can never tune them out. Do you accept?

You'll just have to turn up the volume on Cbat.

I guess I'll just cry through the sound effects with the $1.8 million dollars a year I'll have.

I don't watch the show. What kind of sounds/music are we dealing with here?

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Here's an exaggerated tasting platter for you. I'll add that it's not that exaggerated (except for the boom at 1:36; I never heard that in the show).

Not the gonna lie, if the ominous music starts BEFORE I make a mistake or do something dumb in my everyday life, it would actually be helpful lol. The boom would work after dropping an epic response to win an argument, although I'll be the only one to hear it. The pump-up music would also be great when I need an adrenaline push.

Damn, even if it plays while the shit hits the fan it would be pretty helpful - i'm not the best at reading social cues.

If I can block the sounds by wearing headphones I would take it in a heartbeat but even if I cant block them, well, I would still do it because I have tinnitus 🤷

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's a purely psychological thing inside your brain; it will cut through the tinnitus. You can't loophole your way around it; you have to hear the sounds at the same noticeable volume a person with normal hearing would.

I guess, I ll suffer with the money and wipe my tears with it. 🥲

Nah, there's one in there already. Thanks, though!

His brother did worse things than pot, he'd be fine with it.

Dude's worked in the restaurant industry all his life, he probably wouldn't hire a sober dishwasher.
