Business cards aren't free to make, you make them with intent to give them out to people.
More plausible scenario was that someone who had received the card just threw it away.
- yesbabyyes 6y agoYou find that out pretty soon when you see the guy in the eyes. If the recipient of the belongings hadn't accepted them as his, the story would never have been told.
- jrootabega 6y agoPeople will gladly retell and embellish stories that never once happened just to hear themselves talk
- yesbabyyes 6y agoRight... I know the rangers so I can just ask them to verify. Thing is, I won't bother for 'NullPrefix describing themselves as "pure cynicism", so I guess it is what it is! The important thing is that the trash was removed, after all.
- NullPrefix 6y agoRight... Ad hominen is the purest form of agreeing with a point made by someone else without having to say that you agree :)
- yesbabyyes 6y ago:) listen, your point is valid, I agree with that. However, I know and trust the people I'm talking about, whereas you don't know and have no reason to trust me in particular. Especially since you are quite forthcoming with your cynicism, there's no point in me claiming to have verification for the anecdote. I have no problem with that. 'jrootabega on the other hand straight up accuses me of lying to seem interesting and score internet points, which I think is pretty lousy. Meanwhile, the trash is gone and everybody's happy! Now I'm going out to kill a couple of roosters with my uncle.
- jrootabega 6y agoI think you're overreacting and the misunderstanding and distortion is growing with every post in this thread. Which was basically my first comment. I'm not looking to attack or argue with anyone, never was, and hope everybody has a good day
- yesbabyyes 6y agoAwesome, I agree! Wish you the same. Everybody wins. :) Well except for those roosters, they're in bird heaven now. I got curious about your nick by the way, does it refer to rutabaga?
- NullPrefix 6y agocheers, all around :D
- fluffernutter 6y agoIsn't it they retell and embellish them to the point they sound believable, like GPT-3?
- xtiansimon 6y agoIt’s a better meme without that fact (business card person is/is-not the litterbug), because it plays on a fear that social networks will spread the story of the double injury wide and far before ultimately tracking down the litterbugs. Depending on depth of social shaming for littering, there could be real consequences.
- vaccinator 6y agoYeah I often take business cards that I dont intend to keep....
