had this happen to me at a conference. I didn't realize they were going to put where I worked at on my nametag so I spent three days walking around as the guy who worked at "some dumbass company".

it went over surprising well though and was a great icebreaker that landed me an interview for another job.

You can't fool me Sandi! This is an experiment! Oh god this is probably a result category isn't it? My second father figure always said don't become a statistic!

runs off and falls into the flower arrangement

And I thought this was going to be a joke about her putting the audience to sleep.

This is straight comedic gold. I like to imagine some elderly stenographer refused to retire and this is a common occurrence... or it's some 3rd rock from the sun aliens first day.

[–] degen@midwest.social 12 points 11 hours ago

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

Sandi Mann sounds like a fun woman

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

At first I thought that was part of the transcription too and my brain was trying to make some sense of it. And for some reason threw at me:

San..Di…Ma…s High School football rules!

In German this literally translates to something like "cute sand man". Because in German you can just add an " I" at the end of any noun to make it sound cute and small. So "Sandi" can be thought of as a kind of diminutive of the noun "Sand", similar to "Bauchi" from "Bauch" which is stomach. The correct dimunitve of "Bauch" would be "Bäuchlein" but this refers more to the perceived size of the object.

Like 'y' in English. Dog, doggy. Sam, Sammy.

Cat, catty would like a word ;)

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds really wrong. Is that a southern thing?

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

Yea it's definitely a dialect thing but a rather common one. I don't know where it is spoken most tho...

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

By this reasoning the Saudi roysl family are chibi Sauds?

Peanut Butter is one word.

They're affiliated with two universities. Their card can only list one affiliation. When the organizer asked which university to list, they said "probably University X". Most people would have simply put "University X", but since the person said "probably" the organizer decided to be literal and also put "probably".

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

"Probably" isn't supposed to be on the card

[–] alehc@slrpnk.net 9 points 12 hours ago

Oh right I missed that lol
