A better question than 'Are you a citizen?' is 'Are you saved?' This guy gave this technique a whirl, and instead of people getting upset, they're just hilariously impressed.

Temp Tries to Gatekeep Coworker’s Nationality, Spreads Gossip That He’s Lying About Place of Birth
This troublesome new temp tried to tell her recruiter that he wasn't British enough to claim that Nationality. She further told others that he was lying "for clout". She knew better because she was dating a British fellow and "knew how they act."
That's when u/ArtfulMortician knew that he had to ascend to his final form and personify every British stereotype under the sun.
People will gatekeep anything and everything. Good luck trying to pickup a new hobby or join a new community these days.
Where there is a thing to be done or a fandom to follow as soon as you sign up you are going to be confronted by the Uber Fan. This Uber Fan has done everything possible to make this fandom or hobby their entire identity and they are determined to keep everyone else out in order to secure the self-perceived fragility of their existence. You being there and new is a threat to them. Where they should be offering support and nurturing their community they, instead, are going to stonewall, gatekeep, and otherwise use their influence to sustain their dominance.
Doing this on something like someone's own nationality is somehow even more insane. Imagine telling someone that they don't deserve to consider themselves to be a part of their own nationality?
People Share Their Most Controversial Food Opinions
People are fiercely dependent of their food preferences, to the point that they are willing to argue for the torture and imprisonment of people who don't like olives. Even people who seem reasonable on any other subject will look you directly in the eyes and say "mac and cheese is the only good food. It is all that I eat, and all anyone should ever eat. Anyone who doesn't believe that should be put to death." And you go "jeez boss I was just asking if you wanted these reports by tomorrow."
Maybe it's because food is one of those things that seems like a ubiquitous physical reality. We like to imagine that all people are experiencing life in the same way, but lo and behold two people can both try the same soup and have vastly different opinions on it. The politics, costs, and even risks of certain food items have effects on our lives that frankly almost none of us like to admit.
And then there are the mental barriers people put up around food in general. Even today there are people who refuse to admit that lobster is an armored sea bug. Yeah, it's a luxury, but lady, look at all the legs.
So here are some of people's insightful/stupid opinions on food, depending on how much you agree with them. And here are some of the worst foods people have eaten.
Funny Pizza Place Signs That Were Sufficiently Saucy And Cheesy
We like a good sign joke. Maybe it's because we appreciate the effort it takes to pull out 30 foot-tall plastic letters, arrange them in the right order, and spend a half hour with a big long suction-cup pole slapping those bad boys up there. It's an amount of time that truly makes you rethink whether or not your joke is worth it, and these people pushed through to make public their truly dumb pizza thoughts.
It's not exactly fun making pizzas all day, so we're glad that people are making their own fun where they can, to be seen by equally bored passerby's. Sometimes all it takes to turn your day around is knowing that someone else out there feels just as resigned as you, and all they have left is the part of the day when they get to tell people off-color jokes about the new specials.
Our hats are off to the sign people, may you ride into the sunset on your suction-cup pole like a witch on a broomstick.
Here are some more funny sign jokes for people who like their jokes on a literal post.
New Owner Orchestrates Own Obliteration, Fires Employee Who Owns Essential Patents
A new owner stepped in to take over a machine shop and began with the trimming of the fat. The logistical consultant found himself in the crosshairs.
This type of behavior is to be expected these days whenever a new owner steps in to take control of a business. An ever increasing number of these disastrous experiences seem to involve a rash, relatively inexperienced, individual who thinks that they know better than the staff who are a part of the furniture.
That may be well and good in some of these failing business that have been mismanaged or are grossly over staffed.
A great example of this would probably be Peloton (that overpriced indoor bike) which has recently cut 2800 jobs. Quite frankly, I was surprised to find out that they even employed that many people
As the new owner was chopping heads logistical consultant, u/NotLagRange, found his head placed on the chopping block.
"He did not understand what exactly my job was and thought it was unnecessary. I could tell he was just waiting for my contract negotiation." States u/NotLagRange.
Sure enough, when the time of reckoning came, it became clear just how undervalued u/NotLagRange was. The new owner seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that u/NotLagRange held essential patents to the logistics of the business and the new owner was further belligerent and unwilling to budge on terms.
This would eventually lead to the absolute obliteration of the company and u/NotLagRange's ultimate revenge.
According to his updates, U/NotLagRange has taken the advice of the commenters and is now seeking to attend the bankruptcy auction for his former company in order to take over their assets and their business. Business which he, conveniently, holds multiple patents to.
You gotta love it when a plan comes together.
