[over used trope] [horror villain's revenge on main character for "stealing" their parents]

This was already around in horror for decades with the Michael Myers Halloween situation, but it never went away

1 scream three in 2000 elevated it with Roman's revenge on Sydney for their mom choosing her over him. I had no problem with that because it was different enough from the Halloween movies and it was a whole new idea from scream 1/2 but I remember seeing it on TV in 2015 three different times and getting annoyed.

  1. PLL CeCe becomes A because her parents lock her away in an institute due to her dad falsely thinking she's a threat to Allison. She comes up with some bullshit that makes no sense about Allison's friends being glad she's gone, but it makes way sense she was jealous of Jason and Ali for The parental Love she never got.

  2. in the scream TV series the reporter was adopted as a baby, which is what led to her killing spree against her half sister who her parents lovingly raised.

  3. same EXACT thing with Leah Michelle's character in scream queens, she was given up for adoption by college age parents as a baby, ALSO went to a mental asylum, although raised to be a killer, then sought revenge on her parents dying for her parents dying 25 years ago. . Scream, scream, queens, and pretty little liars jn 2015 all have the same villain motivation? There's gotta be another reason for somebody to go on a killing and or revenge spree.

What was the point of *spoiler?*

Just finished season 3 and was wondering why they TWICE showed Tish's earring if there wasn't anything dont as a result. When Rue is wrapping her body to burn in the second episode it falls out and Maddy picks it up toward the end, I thought there would be family members or police investigating her death or ska thing but now I have no idea why it's shown at all, Chekhov's gun and all that.

Anyone remember this creepy ad about using your devise at night?

This is a strange YouTube ad that scared me as a kid. It had to be around 2014 or 2015 that I saw it. It started with text posing a question or statistic like “do you use your device before bed?” Or something like that, then it cut to a man and a woman (presumably a couple), laying in their bed in a dark bedroom, and scrolling on their iPhones or iPads before sleep. Then it said something cautionary like “be careful, because this might happen”. The man then drops his iPad and the camera cuts to showing it landing on the floor. The text then says “did you see it?”. And replays the same scene in slow motion. At this point I was freaked out because I worried there would be a jumpscare and skipped the ad. I don’t know if it was for a horror movie or what but I’m really curious as to how it ended.

I’m guessing it was at least a minute in full length. I was only about 11 and was also watching it at night, before sleep so it felt way too coincidental and creepy. I would love to know if anyone remembers seeing this ad or has more info. Despite it being over 10 years ago, I still remember the details pretty vividly.

How to deal with kitchen constantly missing mods that were rang in properly

I've had many serving jobs and this one is the first where this has been a problem, for multiple reasons. We have a huge staff, like even on weekday mornings there will often be 8-10 servers on plus the bartender and several cooks working at once, three managers, ALWAYS at least 1 dedicated host and dedicated to go person, more than 1 on weekends. The kitchen keeps sending food out with things that I rang in not to add. Almost all the cooks here are Spanish speaking immigrants with little to no English, but their first language is Spanish so it shouldn't be too hard to understand no- whatever. In addition there is always a manager running expo whose supposed to check the tickets before calling for food runs, and the servers who run food are supposed to check the ticket. With how big this restaurant is it's impossible for anyone to run only their own food, so the policy here is to respond whenever the manager/expo calls for food runs and run whatever food is up, this is the top proprpry over drinks, checks, etc. it's a little annoying but the only way for a huge restaurant to function.

I've had multiple instances where I rang in an order correctly, but the cooks missed a kid and sent for example, a salad out that said no avacado but they added avacado anyway. Thankfully the lady was super nice about it and just asked for a side plate for her to fork the avacados onto because she wasn't that bothered by them and didn't like them, but if you've worked with customers you know there are some people who will take this so badly and cause problems for you. I had a man angry that his sandwich had three mods saying no x and it came out with all 3 on it even though I rang it in without. He was pissed but my manager had it remade and talked to him and said I rang it in correctly but we made a mistake.

The other day I had a family with a daughter i would have thought was at least 13, but there were some indications she might have been mentally delayed- this is important to the story. her parents had brought dolls, trading cards that a young kid would play with not actual cards, other toys etc. she didn't talk to me and her parents ordered for her. The dad ordered a pasta dish for her that comes with chicken and shrimp by default, and we have a mod button for chicken only or shrimp only. he asked me "can she get this without shrimp?" i said yes and modded chicken only. that was ALL he said about this, he did not say anything indicating it was an allergy. i had a full section at this point, six tables three of which were larger families, so i didn't run their food and her pasta comes out with shrimp. the mom waves me over a minute later and the dad is contained but noticeable angry and tells me he thought he let me know she has a life threatening shrimp allergy and she ate most of the pasta includjng the shrimp before he noticed it had shrimp, he asked if we had benadryl becauase she needed it for her allergic reaction. i apologized and immediately informed the manager and asked about benadryl. he didnt outright blame me but questioned why i didnt put a seafood allergy mod, i told him i wasnt told aboht thd allergy and he said putting an allergy mod would have made sure it wasn't added. im sorry but if your cooks, expo, and servers who ran the food ALL missed one mod, why would they necessarily catch another one? im guessing expo reminds them extra firm when there's an allergy but why don't they do this for all mods?

my manager told me to ring in a recook with the seafood allergy mod and talked to the table, i couldn't hear everything he said and I'm not sure how the benadryl situation was resolved but i heard him say "we try not to blame guests for problems but if she has a life threatening allergy why would you order a dish with shrimp and why would she eat it not noticing?" i think she was disabled because she didn't notice the shrimp or didnt know it was an allergy for her and was nothing but smiles and happy this whole time, she didn't seem like someone having an allergic reaction let alone aware she was in any danger. I don't like managers blaming guests but people in restaurants make mistakes, it's impossible to avoid, the parents should have ordered something that had no seafood anywhere on it to be safe and had medicine she needed instead of asking a restaurant for it which I think we can't legally give out???

I guess I could start putting An allergy mod everytime someone wants a dish without something but I would think this would waste time and resources if it's not an allergy, why isn't there more accountability for the cooks and expo who missed this. thankfully the daughter was okay so I'm not sure if they lied or were misinformed about her allergy and they accepted my apology and acknowledged it wasn't my fault and but I'm worried about this happening to the wrong person and how bad it could be either with an allergy that wasn't indicated or an angry/ abusive guest.

How would you deal with this?

Line/ scene that made me laugh so hard

Slight Spoilers for season 1 of born again

Sorry if this has been discussed to death but I'm a first time viewer and new to this sub.

I lost it When white tiger was on trial and Matt and the opposing lawyer made an agreement with the judge not to reveal that he was the white tiger, then Matt does so anyway even with Kristin saying "Matt! Don't do this." The judge takes Matt and the opposing lawyer into his chambers again to discuss their agreement and the opposing lawyer says so confidently to Matt "is there a HYPOCRISY division of Murdock & associates?!" He really acted like that was a checkmate insult LMAO you're a lawyer and that's the best you can come up with? To me that's up there with "do you know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else." And "it's you who's out Gobby! Out of your MIND!" Then he and the other lawyer start arguing and the judge just goes "all right STOP IT! Both of you stop!" Like they're little kids fighting not seasoned attorneys on a very high profile trial. Also I'm not that familiar with law in real life but there were no consequences for Matt breaking a very serious agreement with his opposing lawyer and judge during a trial? HE made the case that the public and jury knowing this would unfairly bias how they treat the person on trial and put him in danger with the anti vigilante movement! This was so unserious I had to stop and laugh for a minute

Should I leave a positive review of a manager after I had a job interview?

I interviewed at my ideal server job yesterday, I want it so bad and being able to quit my current two jobs to work here would be life changing. The manager scheduled my interview at 6 PM and they were super busy and clearly missing a host; the manager who was supposed to interview me had me sit right by the host stand and talked to me a couple questions at a time whenever he wasn't seating people or answering the phone. I was thinking of leaving a positive review and mentioning him by name and how well he did multitasking and managing while successfully doing my interview. If you were hiring, would this make you more likely to hire me or is it a bad look?

Assistant manager job shaming cook and also flirting with him

This is just a rant about something that annoyed me, I wasn't involved just overheard so not looking for advice or anything just wanted to see if this would annoy others. There's a 30 year old line cook who is married with five kids who's been innocently flirting with an 18 year old waitress, I don't know the extent of their flirting and don't think they're talking or seeing each other outside of work and she's clearly not bothered by it and seems to like him. My assistant manager was lecturing this waitress the other day telling her not to get involved or even flirt with him but she didn't say it was because he's married, she said in a super judgemental almost disgusted tone "he's a LINE COOK Josie!" (Servers name) "do you really want to be with a line cook?"

She said it like being a line cook was so bad, which I couldn't believe because hi you're a RESTAURANT MANAGER! Your job would not exist without like cooks they are arguably the most important job in the restaurant and the reason any of us get paid! I couldn't believe my manager was job shaming her own employee rather than mention he's married with 5 kids at 30 as a reason not to get with him, but ever since I've noticed the same assistant manager flirting hard core with this cook which she doesn't do with anyone else.

They'll be smiling, laughing standing real close, playing patty cake type hand games and just generally flirting. She's typically a tough no nonsense type manager but is so sweet and forgiving with this cook, she was clearly jealous of him flirting with the 18 year old waitress and chose to job shame him. I hate this industry sometimes.

3 more episodes... how will they wrap everything up.

I know they're longer episodes, but we have so much to cover in the last 3 idk how they'll fit everything satisfactorily. We have to conclude the jules sugar daddy storyline, The Alamo and Laurie feud, maddy and Cassie's business, Cassie being on la nights and it effecting her and Lexi, maddy and Alamo's business relationship, Kitty and magick's storylines, rue's mom is coming back, there's at least two new characters who need screen time (Natasha lyonne and Daniella deadwyler), supposedly Elliott is coming back, Nate's storyline, Ali and rue's relationship, the DEA storyline, and to give fitting endings to the OG characters. I DOUBT Sam will be able to pull it off, and it makes it even more annoying how much screen time was wasted on the Cassie only fans stuff that was largely already done by Kat in season 1, jules asking rue why she doesn't "kiss kiss" her which they already did in season 1, ANOTHER Nate torture scene, and ANOTHER Alamo killing rue fake out scene which we already got at the end of episode 1 with the apple shot, and this same episode with the ice pick. *sigh*

Would you rehire a server who was fired for credit card fraud a year later?

I fired a server for altering/ adding money to credit card tips last year and she recently called me at work and apologized for what happened and asked if we'd consider rehiring her, she was one of our top performing snd most reliable servers and blamed the tip altering on having a substance abuse problem at the time, she said every night when she got cut and her tables started leaving she'd celebrate by taking several pills in the bathroom, Xanax klonopin adderall or opiates, she'd be high af while doing her side work and not in her right mind while entering tips, she had trouble keeping the numbers straight and accidentally added $10 to 3 different tips. She said she's clean now and has been for a while and would like a second chance. Thoughts? Would you consider rehiring this person under certain conditions if she truly had gotten clean?

We've been saying all season and even when the trailer dropped that this season feels more like Breaking bad/ GTA/ a Tarantino crime drama film than euphoria. When you remember what Levinson did to Petra Collins and compare this maddy and Cassie driving scene with a nearly identical scene from once upon a time in Hollywood, makes you wonder if he can't pay homage to something without copying it directly.
