Sad sales guy desperately watching sports on the tv looking completely devastated.

That's the blue dot before he downs 3 drinks.

Or why orange guy is reliving his football glory days.

Former hotel bartender here, can confirm.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I always thought I'd enjoy that job, specifically at a somewhat nice hotel. I like making drinks and hotel seems like it would be mostly drama-free, or at least not the same as a dive bar. You liking it?

[–] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 12 points 6 months ago

I very much did! I posted that before I had my coffee so I didn't meant to imply that I still worked there, because I don't anymore. Got fired last year for doing what I thought was an official union action but in fact wasn't. Not too torn up though, they're paying for me to go back to school lol.

There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin.

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free

Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy, And probably will be for life

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Now Norman's a billionaire scientist
Who never had time for his son
But something went screwy, and before you knew he, was trying to kill everyone

Now he's flying around on that glider-thing
And he's tossing those weird pumpkin bombs
And he's wearing that dumb power rangers mask
But he's scarier without it on

Last time I made love to my drink I got a lifetime ban from that bar.

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Hello season one Data.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

You're lucky to be drinking here for free

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 32 points 6 months ago (3 children)

And that local drunk would've went pro if it weren't for his bum knee.

[–] EvilLootbox@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or impregnating with a woman with big red hair

I threw four touchdowns in a single game

Are you Red Squeezebuzzer?!

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can confirm this. Was hotel bartender for over a year. I 86'ed the local drunk, however.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

You killed your best customer?!

[–] FMT99@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

My kids are getting older, I aim to be that middle aged couple soon.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

the bartender and the person wanting to be alone being that close to eachother is a mood ngl.

[–] VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I saw that episode of Wonderfalls.

i have not seen that episode of wonderfalls, but as a person who often wants to be left alone, i can recognize it anywhere.

Also, that one guy waiting for his friends to show up, to tell them
"Guys... they've got eight dollar beers here, let's go someplace else."

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 15 points 6 months ago

the use of Futura really makes it

[–] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 months ago

I instantly picture Phil and Claire from MF as the couple with their role playing...

[–] Iampossiblyatwork@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

This hotel bar has way too many people at it.

[–] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Em.. they are using a Personal Digital Assistant? Sorry I'm a time traveler.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Your post looks like a reasonably good joke about acronyms with multiple meanings, but just in case you actually don't know, PDA is short for "public display of affection" in this context

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That parts comes later.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 38 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They were the precursor to smart phones and tablets. Palm was the big player in the Personal Data Assistant market.

But in this case public display of affection.

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago

I have a Hewlett Packard PDA somewhere still along with some other old stuff I can't figure out what to do with.

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 months ago

Public display of affection

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

As I expected, human interaction is boring and not worth the time, let alone the price of the drink.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Me and Brown distract the business men while the bartender ruphies them. We steak their room keys and take a kidney from each.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How many are staring solemnly at their phones?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

That's all the white space around the other dots. The place is really packed, not that most of them would know it.

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

is this a color blindness test or what with the two oranges

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean the red and orange?

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

they're almost the same color?

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I feel like this is like that copy-pasta where the person doesn't know they are color blind.
