Talking of people we accidentily met from FP
I've had at least 4 PMs from people i've got on my facebook already
one of them is in this thread :^)
Never met anyone from facepunch, though one of my mates used to browse it

Probs a good thing, I keep Facepunch hidden away like the royals did with that disabled kid one time lol
Checked my banking app and realised about half of my spending has been on Amazon... Oops
The only people I've met who've known what Facepunch is were people who were angry postal banned them in the Rust subforum
I've never met anyone from FP face to face but I'm fairly certain I've unknowingly been in the same building as Doozle maybe more than once. Exciting, I know.
A real life friend got me into Facepunch.

Checking my bank balance is always followed by a swift "oh fucks sake" as I have inevitably dug deeper into my overdraft

Any specific building or more of a when you live in a place there's good chance you've walked through the same shopping center sort of thing?

I just peeped your youtube/soundcloud. A night out maybe? Subdub, wire?

Just a guess, but at various subdub/exodus events a few years back. Stumbled into a thread earlier today where you'd posted about some you'd been to. Reckon I've still got my tickets at home somewhere.

Aye you got the edit in before I noticed. Surprised you caught it from the YT channel it's ooold, forgot my FP was linked to all those dead accounts.

Hoping to meet someone I've met on a Reddit Discord who lives in the town where I'm going to university. Been on internet communities 11 years and never knowingly come face to face with anyone. Should be fun.
i saw a guy on the train once on facepunch and i was like "damn that's pretty cool!"
and then he tabbed over to a pony booru site :/
if you think you were this person on the london liverpool street to southend victoria train some time mid sept 2015, i was the guy on the opposite row beside you trying to avoid eye contact.
I've had one guy recognise the Facepunch sticker on my laptop, and I know at least the guy who invited me to here. That's all I got.
Who lives in Manchester and wants the night of their life ;)
hmu
I met up with hamsteronfire while out with some guy from uni, I made the tragic mistake of inviting my brother who suddenly had a random drunken mental breakdown and I had to get him home.
I was introduced to FP by one friend, I introduced another friend and then met one of you fucks so can I call bingo?

need to get out soon again tho properly, been meaning to for ages!
i'm broke currently however :(
Oh my god lads, after 5 or so years of unemployment I just landed a full time job at maccys
nice
if you're being optimistic, a job's a job
if you're being cynical, get out of there ASAP
[editline]6th April 2017[/editline]
do you have any marketable skills?
I'm not sure why a McDonald's job is so looked down upon in interviews and CVs. They might hire anyone but that doesn't mean they keep everyone. It's a tough job to last in so if you do, I'd say that's something to put forward in future interviews.

Ha nope! None!
Also I plan on making a career out of this, I know they only promote internally and I wanna boot me way up the ranks to some kind of HR manager.

You should totally suggest that they bring back the szechuan sauce. I bet they'll love that.

Did we even ever have that in the UK? I only first heard of it through rick and morty
[QUOTE=NeonpieDFTBA;52052694]Cr and I are in universities at the same city and one of you other fucks is also lurking somewhere in Southampton last i checked :v:[/QUOTE]
Going to be living fairly close soon too
Facepunch house party anyone? :^

i heavily recommend using it as a stepping stone to somewhere just a tad less mcdonalds-y if you want to go for a career path
but that's just based on what i've heard about maccas being stressful + my own gripes with retail/service :v:

HR Manager? No idea how you're gonna get there from working in the kitchens. Most you will get is shift manager and maybe site manager but they're on shite money anyway.
You also need qualifications and such to do HR. Have you been studying in those 5 years?
You guys should consider train driving. It's a decent job, when you go home you don't have to worry about anything until you're next at work and the salary is decent (plus final salary pension)

How do you even get into train driving?
Do you need a degree in shovelling coal?

Won't you be replaced by a computer within a decade though?

You'll always need a dude sat watching the machine though incase it goes rogue.
