Onlookers gasped loudly as Vance scrambled to retrieve the base of the 35-pound trophy from the floor and put it back together

Some players smirked. Is that new new term for mocking?

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's not a new term

Haven’t seen a whoosh in such a long time. Thanks for that.

Honestly? It kind of looked to me like the guy next to him fucked it up for him.

He had the trophy, but the guy was trying to "help" by putting sideways pressure on the top of the trophy for some reason while Vance was supporting it from the bottom. And then, when the top and bottom separated as a result, then it fell off his supporting-from-the-bottom hand.

As much as I'm happy for a chance for Vance to fuck something up in public and make the whole operation look like the idiots they are, I don't think this was his fault.

[–] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago

Yes, but he deserves to be bullied.

Vance is a wet fart of a human being and deserves all bad karma coming his way, but I agree with you. The guy pushing it towards him from the top fucked it up. Vance had it by the base, and only dropped it because it broke and he panicked.

The guy knew it would come off the base, dumbass Vance didn't listen or care. Look how he hands it to him after setting it back up.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well then why didn't he say something, instead of prodding tentatively at the top of it as Vance picked it up, in a futile effort which only assisted with the collapse.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe he was afraid of being deported or some other stupid punishment. Who knows, we're not dealing with normal people here, they're all tiny men who have to prove something.
