"Only 2011 kids will understand"

I feel like reddit has altered my perception of time. I feel like this gif is from at least 10 years ago.

Is there a story behind this gif.?

[–]spicy_jose 45 points46 points ago

Yes

[–]brnbrown15 14 points15 points ago

Mind sharing?

[–]coffinoff 195 points196 points ago

Once upon a time a man was spinning a cafeteria tray on his finger. Another man walked by and attempted to disrupt the spinning tray by tipping it into the air with a quick tap with his hand. The man spinning the tray was slightly disturbed by this but he easily regained control of the tray and deftly flung it at the feet of his adversary. The man attempted to dodge this attack by hopping over the tray as it flew toward him but he misjudged its trajectory and landed squarely on top of it. The force of his awkward jump and the lack of friction between the floor and the tray that was now directly beneath his feet caused him to slip and fall in a fantastic display of schadenfreude. And so ends the story behind this gif.

The End.

I think he was referring to the musical.

Mind-sharing?! Is that like telepathy?

[–]h40 6 points7 points ago

Happened in the kitchen at a Wild Wing Cafe in Alpharetta Georgia. Really no story behind it, just two employees fucking with each other. I think the dude that slipped and fell ended up breaking his wrist or something though.

I know this because one of my family members worked there at the time.

[–]Thinkiknoweverything 27 points28 points ago

[–]h40 6 points7 points ago

I'd like to see someone try and prove otherwise? Not so sure today was the day I decided to start making up trash on Reddit to earn karma...

[–]Thinkiknoweverything 6 points7 points ago

Well I was the guy who fell. Id like to see you prove otherwise.

[–]h40 1 point2 points ago

[–]Wilcows -2 points-1 points ago

that's the most stupid and unscientific thing you can say.

[–]superherowithnopower 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, just watching this, I am 90% certain the falling guy broke his wrist. I mean, just look at how he landed...it's improbable that he'd land like that and not break his wrist.

[–]h40 0 points1 point ago

So yeah, he definitely broke his wrist.

[–]Ignitus1 -2 points-1 points ago

What are you, made of glass? Have you ever fallen down? How many dozens of bones did you break?

How about this:

Honestly, just watching this, I am 90% certain the falling guy broke his pelvis, his right elbow, and dislocated his shoulder. I mean, just look at how he landed... it's improbable that he'd land like that and not break his pelvis, his right elbow, and dislocate his shoulder.

Man, that felt good coming out of my ass.

[–]h40 1 point2 points ago

He actually did break his wrist, nothing else though.

[–]brnbrown15 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, I always wondered if they were friends or if the employee was just being an ass.

according to karmadecay it's been posted at least 10 months ago so it's american

[–]HMPoweredMan 6 points7 points ago

It's not. Clearly they are American.

[–]DeedTheInky 35 points36 points ago

They're clearly not Americans, because they are employed. BA-ZING!

[–]burnmatoaka 1 point2 points ago

Speaking of which... I'll just leave this here.

[–]Beeslo 2 points3 points ago

True. But I don't believe Canadians refer to themselves as Americans. Nor do anyone else refer to them as Americans.

[–]wuzizname -2 points-1 points ago

Thanks and yes this is true and something I've been trying to get redditors to understand. Only people from the USA call themselves "Americans".

[–]spicy_jose 6 points7 points ago

Literally everyone knows that.

[–]Vortilex 0 points1 point ago

Except Latin Americans.

[–]SwimmingNaked -3 points-2 points ago

No.

  • True: "Canada is in the Americas"
  • True: "Canada is in North America"
  • False: "Canada is in America"

What you are basically claiming is "mustard is a hot dog" because mustard is put in a hot dog. It's not the same thing.

[–]Cecil_Hardboner 15 points16 points ago

There are no other places.

Canadians don't wear baseball caps indoors?

[–]Beeslo 1 point2 points ago

What about Australia? Don't they use the European time stamp? Do they not wear baseball caps inside either?

[–]pupeno 0 points1 point ago

Almost all of the world uses the European time stamp. USA is the only place where they use a broken way to write down dates. Well... maybe there are a couple more countries that use that too, but I haven't encountered in my travels.

[–]ococody 0 points1 point ago

Broken? Changing the way the exact same information is given does not break it.

[–]jubalm 3 points4 points ago

Texting my girlfriend on a trip to France to wear a baseball cap today. I've also informed her to do a fake French accent whenever possible.

[–]iaacp 8 points9 points ago

Did someone record a gif they watched on their computer with their phone...?

[–]pHreaksYcle 2 points3 points ago

[–]MrBoog 0 points1 point ago

I like how he retrieves the tray before checking to see if the guy is OK.

[–]SecretSnack 2 points3 points ago

I'm sure a worker's comp claim stemmed from this.

or when

I'm sure someone here might be able to guess that.

I laugh every single time I see this. Even though its been reposted tons of times, have an upvote.

wow. I thought that was years ago. I never noticed the timestamp.

[–]kindlyhelpsyourevise 0 points1 point ago

I honestly feel like this image has been on the internet for years. Is there yet a giant German word for "disproportionate and subconscious attribution of age to legendary internet artifacts"?

[–]haprdgn 0 points1 point ago

I never forgot, Reddit.

[–]PJRedd 0 points1 point ago

Kind of looks like the guy who ends up falling hopped up a little before "stepping" on the tray and why would a camera be recording this area and what are the chances this event took place completely within frame?

[–]imangryignoreme 1 point2 points ago

...because its a prison and there are cameras everywhere.
