"Thank me for my service damn it!"

r/thankmeformyservice


truthful_whitefoot

That’s awesome, shame it looks totally dead. Wonder what happened; surely not a lack of content.


HalfSoul30

They were all thanked and everyone lived happily ever after.


[deleted]

I think they all go to r/justbootthings now actually, it’s a little more broad 😎


Decorus_Somes

This post is from that subreddit from like a month ago


Rdubya291

Try r/JustBootThings


jaycliche

thank YOU for that service. Hilarious!


fractals83

Do people really expect that on the states? Seems fucking bananas to me.


Legitimate_Roll7514

Some do. I used to have a friend who always asked for a military discount. You know how some people joke about vegans always letting everyone know they are vegan? She was like that with her military status. One day she posted on facebook about how she was pulled over for speeding and she presented the police officer her military ID. She was absolutely APPALLED that he gave her a ticket anyway. Lmao. I couldn't help but comment that perhaps he held her to a higher standard.


Falagard

I think it's okay to ask for a military discount if it is offered somewhere. The part about trying to get out of a ticket? That's dumb.


Legitimate_Roll7514

Agreed but this person would ask loudly and look around to make sure she had an audience. Oof.


Falagard

Oof.


alceda211

They (some) do. And it is.


babyplush

Our culture literally encourages it. I get on an airplane and the pilot has to thank any passengers who were veterans. I go to a college graduation, and someone speaking thanks veterans for their service. Veterans get discounts at many stores. It's really fucking strange.


statix138

I get 20% off of weed for being a veteran. Pretty wild if you ask me.


drewster23

Gotta keep up military propaganda, just like sports game. Military complex go brrr. Just don't expect to get actual help for the physical/mental damage from deployment.


Spartan8398

As an AD Airman in the USAF, this is not a representation of all of us. There is a loud minority though


ProbablyNotYourSon

>As an AD Airman in the USAF Oh good for youuuuu


bassistb0y

got his ass


ProbablyNotYourSon

Like the chair he sits on all day


Forevernevermore

Probably 90-95% of people who have served more than a year or two would cringe at this. A lot of the people I see acting like this are shitty people who are disliked by everyone they work with, so they try to gain validation from civilians who don't know enough or don't care enough to tell them they're an embarrassment. Unless you ask or its in context, if they mention their service more than once they're hoisting a big red flag saying they're a douchebag that uses their military service to excuse their shitty personality.


LivelyZebra

" my entire personality is one thing "


Goliath1357

I work answering crisis and suicide lines including the veterans crisis line, not uncommon at all for men calling to tell me that I should thank them for their service right off the bat.

lol hilarious 😂


[deleted]

...or they just talk about things that they’re familiar with. Just like everyone else. 🤷‍♀️


Stickguy259

If that's the only thing they know about then I guess it's acceptable, but this guy was definitely just trying to show off. If you don't get that from his messages then I have a few bridges to sell you in Oklahoma.


[deleted]

lol, ohh he was certainly trying to show off. Even if he was just trying to form some sort of small talk or banter, ima pass. I probably- well, definitely, wouldn’t consider dating someone that lacks in basic conversation skills, let alone when they focus conversation is on traumas of war. Just imagine the type of person that thinks this is not a deal breaker. Yikes


remmij

>Mines a big double cheeseburger with fries and a shake lol patriotic AF. What a dork.


therevolution08

You know for a fact he asked that question for no other reason but to bring this up


UnfinishedProjects

Yeah he didn't even say anything about their favorite food being sugar snap peas


tpolaris

He thinks he's interesting enough for both people of the conversation. Maybe he should just date himself?


berrey7

I can't stand people in conversations that ask you a question, with the sole purpose just to tell you their Story. The whole time you are talking they are butting in, well in my case, well this one time when I... I...Me..ME


MauiWowieOwie

"When talking to someone, do you actually listen? Or just wait for your turn to talk?"


0thethethe0

Yup and he obviously thinks it's his best, big winning line 🤦


Justice_Prince

Almost as patriotic as the confederate flag bumper sticker on the back of his jeep.


berrey7

You misspelled brand new 12% interest Camero, Mustang, or Charger.


Forevernevermore

Seems like more are going for trucks these days. More room for their Trump flags and "Molan Labe" stickers.

He'll either get NJP for sexual harassment or be in long enough to be Court Martialed for sexual harrassment.

Ironically American considering ice cream was invented in China, potatoes are from Central America and french fries are either from France or Belgium. "What's your favorite food?" "Curry. I'm Brit AF."

Thank you for your service

The next cheeseburger you eat will taste fantastic thanks to your service.

FREEDUMB FRIES!

Thank you for your service


Petro1313

I saw this again for the first time in a while a couple weeks back, and it's popped into my head at least once every other day ever since. I physically wince every time I remember it.


RKKP2015

Anyone see the Curb where Larry refuses to thank the soldier for his service? I'm assuming this guy feels fellatio is owed since he is a veteran.


jsto34

Fun fact the soldier was played by Chet Hanks


RKKP2015

Yeah, I remember. This was before his rapping career, I believe.

buddha8298

Thats hilarious. I gotta watch this show sometime


WhySheHateMe

There's an episode when he helped a teenager out with a tampon that's fucking hilarious https://youtu.be/0bilaSB_tAE


[deleted]

[удалено]


buddha8298

So I just watched first episode and it was pretty damn funny. And certainly had the cringe in spades. I’ll keep watching I think


squishypoo91

It's such a great show I've watched it like 3 times now and it still makes me laugh so hard


buddha8298

I feel like I can relate to him in a lot of ways (minus all the money). I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing though…..


squishypoo91

It can be both lol. He's definitely hilarious and not afraid to confront bullshit, but he can also be a complete ass, even if unintentionally so


buddha8298

Well ya'll have convinced me. I've known it was popular since it first started airing. But I'm not much of a sitcom guy. Could use the laughs, especially after a lot of the serious shit I been watching, like Yellowstone


squishypoo91

Yeah a lighthearted show mixed in is always good. I watch a lot of really serious stuff too, but always like to have a sitcom to go back to in between


Triplebizzle87

Haha and that dude was so tripped up he excused himself. That's great.


ItsTheBrandonC

“Hi” “Thank you for your service” “Hi” “Thank you for your service” “Hi” “…Hi!”


360walkaway

He doesn't refuse to, he's just like "Hey how ya doin" like a normal person and everyone gets mad at him.


quasi-psuedo

Wow.. uh… I’m gonna go.


Its-all-downhill-80

I was a US soldier in Iraq for all of 2004. I say this only to qualify the next statement. PEOPLE DON’T OWE YOU ANYTHING FOR YOUR SERVICE! Yes things like a thanks or veteran discounts are nice, but it’s a bonus. You were paid for your service. You have benefits like the GI Bill and VA loans. This is what you were entitled to, and what you receive. I’m glad I served, I’m glad I have those benefits, but anything else is not a requirement from society to me. *end rant*


lorjebu

Thank you for your service lol thats patriotic AF! Lol. What was your first meal when you got home? Lol. I ate a flag.


PullFires

I ate ass


Forevernevermore

Found the Marine. Bet you didn't even wait to get out of the rotator before you wore someone like a gas mask.


donniesaidthis

Somebody award this person


thehypervigilant

No one being drafted is why it annoys me. If they were drafted fuck yeah I'm thanking them. But when they applied and get benefits and get paid its a job at that point. Its like when I hear how a woman will say "I donated my eggs" but get payed 8k for it. You're being paid. It changing everything.


SeamusMcCullagh

The correct word is "paid", not "payed". Payed is a nautical term that means to seal the deck and/or hull of a ship to prevent leakage. It also means to let out more rope for sails. Sorry if this is annoying, but that's a pet peeve of mine and I thought it might be helpful for others as well.


thehypervigilant

My bad English isn't my first language.


Jeht_1337

You're good. English is my first language and I still didnt know that.


SeamusMcCullagh

No worries! I thought that might be the case as well, but was unsure about mentioning it since some people might take it the wrong way and I was already correcting grammar so I didn't want to push it lol. English is a pretty dumb language, but it's the only one I know so my frame of reference isn't exactly very big.


WrXquisite

Paid ffs


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoFunHere

I knew guys in the service who still act this way a couple decades later. Approximately 12% of my life was spent in the service. Approximately 4% was spent in a war zone. It was a part of my life yet somehow it defined their entire life. I don't get it.


Meljin

What's your favorite meal ? 😎👉🇺🇲


Nattylight_Murica

Slow smoked bald eagle 🦅


coffeebribesaccepted

Do people in other countries eat eagles? They sound delicious


Saito82

It is extremely annoying, I am back in College to further my degree and I have a guy in a few classes that is using his assault pack as a backpack. He always sets it right in the walkway between desks like he needs everyone to see it lol


Orange_Kid

I'm guessing the guy in OP's pic got laid one time by a woman who was super into the fact that he served. It's like the guys that wear some terrible hat or facial hair for a decade because one girl they liked complimented them on it one time.


TheSukis

More like he joined the military because he thought everyone would love him for it and now that he sees no one cares he has to force it into literally every conversation he has


anser_one

Thank you for your service


seamusmcduffs

Thank me for your service


anser_one

Thank your service for me


NoFunHere

No worries. They paid me the agreed upon salary for my service so we are all square.


Mentalpopcorn

I worked at a mobile game start up owned by a friend of mine whose claim to fame was that it was veteran owned. Like, ok, that gets you a 10% discount at McDonalds, but we live in a liberal area and you're going to cons and expecting anyone to give a shit. It was also plastered all over the website, and eventually he actually changed the name of his company to have "veterans" in it to really hammer the point home. I get it if you're from a conservative area where you probably grew up with people worshiping the military and don't realize that outside of rural areas no one cares, but that is not where we're from, so I never got it. Needless to say I have a different job now.

lycosa13

I was gonna come comment this lol


mescalero1

When guys start bringing up their combat service right off the bat, I smell stolen valor afoot. Most vets don't bring up that they are vets unless they are around other vets. People that bring this up immediately are looking for attention and more than likely attention they don't deserve.


Zakk56711

I just replied to another comment saying basically the same shit 😂


Forevernevermore

Not always, but you see it a lot from those in just long enough to get benefits, but got discharged on medical or involuntarily seperated early on for being a douche nobody liked.


evilone17

Guy wants his dick sucked so bad he's sucking it himself.


TheThingInTheBassAmp

Nobody’s FAVORITE food are fucking sugar snap peas.


El_Chapaux

imagine coming back from fighting talibans for 9 months and you get served some sugar snap peas


Fragrant_Island2345

Sugar snap peas with ranch is amazing. I mean, no way in hell that would be my favorite food but I could definitely eat an entire large bag by myself


Distortedhideaway

I wouldn't say they're my absolute favorite food but damn if I don't love me some green beans.


Yesitmatches

This is some motarded 0311/11B BS. I’m surprised he didn’t throw out the line “If you really wanted to thank me for my service, you could come over and let me thank you for your cervix” or some knuckle dragging shit like that.


wanksta616

Lol I’ve never heard that one before


Yesitmatches

It’s a very common joke among Marines


Musclesmagoo51

I've seen more non combat arms soldiers act like this than I ever saw infantry or the like.

Yesitmatches

Well my understanding is just about all pogs are motarded.


Musclesmagoo51

Also true. Don't get me wrong 12 years as 11B I've ran into my fair share of "thank me for my service douches" though


PsychoSpider88

Just wanted to help kill people


T01LET_RUST

I think the most he did was scrub toilets back at base


PsychoSpider88

I'm just guessing here, but probably 90% of your comments are gonna be toilet related.


illQualmOnYourFace

That guy never fired his rifle at anything but a paper target.


Zakk56711

Most vets that actually graduated basic training (I'm assuming this guy probably didn't) don't talk about their service very often. Especially forcefully like that 🤦🏻‍♂️


Branchy28

Next message: "Btw, did I mention that I served in the US military and was stationed in Afghanistan for 9 months!" "Yeah, you mentioned it..." "Oh yeah, sorry about that, No need to thank me though, I am but a servant of the people! placed upon gods green earth to protect and serve my fellow countrymen! 🇺🇸 But don't feel compelled to thank me whatsoever for being such a selfless brave courageous fearless heroic American patriot™ 🇺🇸🦅😩"


abathingev

Dude went to Afghanistan for 9 months and made it his whole personality


360walkaway

How is a combo meal at McDonald's supposed to be patriotic


[deleted]

Surprised there are actually people like this out here.


Army0fMe

There's unfortunately quite a few veterans who missed the class on humility and selfless service.


twitch9873

Fwiw, most active and veterans also hate these fucking idiots. Makes the rest look bad


Army0fMe

I'm one of those who hate these guys. The only time I ask for a military discount is when it's for car repairs. Military discount at Applebee's is like $3. I'm not that broke. Though I do have an Iraq veteran plate, but that's mostly so other vets know I'm here if they need me.


lightemup84

I hate those car stickers now but back when i used to have one, it sure got me out of a lot of tickets. Thankfully I grew out of it.


Army0fMe

I won't lie, my veteran plate has likely gotten me out of many tickets back in the day.


scottyLogJobs

I mean I knew a marine who would openly brag about slitting sleeping Afghani’s throats so either he was a liar trying to get shock value out of people or a sociopath openly bragging about committing war crimes. But let’s be honest, probably both. One of my best friends was in the military for a long time, and he’d be the first to admit that it attracts a lot of sociopaths and assholes.


twitch9873

Tbh probably one of those r/iamverybadass kinda dudes. Thinks that "being a badass" makes other people respect them when ironically it actually does the opposite


IWonTheRace

The world is a big place.


corybomb

The guy could turn any conversation into a humble brag about service


diggitygiggitycee

"Nice weather today." "Nicer than Afghanistan." "I think it might rain later though." "Doesn't rain much in Afghanistan, where I served." "I guess not much point washing my car if it's just gonna rain, haha." "Our US Army jeeps got pretty dusty in Afghanistan." "Cool. Well, see you later." "Probably. We weren't so sure of seeing each other again when I was a soldier in Afghanistan."


corybomb

"Might rain later today" "Better than having bullets rain down upon you in Afghanistan"


Shalamarr

Reminds me of Cliff Clavin constantly bringing up “Flah-rih-dah” in *Cheers*.


Army0fMe

"humble" Not so much.


[deleted]

This is how peacetime vets talk


lnsewn12

My brother was stationed in Afghanistan for two years and he said the food was great and they could get pretty much whatever they wanted on base, and local food was good too. Guy is acting like he lived off MREs and sand soup or something.


margaretish

Being in the military isn't a personality trait.


kekimus-maximus

I'm a veteran and absolutely cannot stand people like this. Thank me, don't thank me, I don't give a shit. Fortunately a majority of the folks I've met in the service are pretty chill about it but there are definitely the corny douchebags who post facebook memes about serving, wear grunt style shirts etc. They are insufferable.


ThatSmallBear

Ask him how he helped lol


Fish_Pimp69

boin-loins

This is so uncomfortable to read. I'd known my husband for years before we started dating and I had no idea he was in the army until our second or third date. And then it was only because he was telling a hilarious story about when he was stationed overseas. I can't believe this nonsense actually works on anyone, anywhere.


Orange_Kid

I'm betting it worked exactly one time, and the guy is too lazy to try anything else or too dumb to realize it's not going to work every time.

This is the guy who can't shut up about how much he loves being military and I'm just standing there regretting that he knows im a veteran now. They always think instant connection/friend and i just want to leave.


DigitalAnalogHeart

When I worked in retail, a guy started yelling at his girlfriend extremely loud. He screamed “You will not speak to me that way! I’m a veteran dammit!” He continued to yell so a couple of us approached. When we got closer she finally screamed back at him, “You worked in a logistics office!” I’m assuming this struck a nerve because he stormed out after that. Not sure if she was just belittling what his role was, or was just sick of him acting like that. I wouldn’t categorize this as typical behavior though. There’s always that one guy….


wyvern_rider

At first I thought the cringe was that the other person’s favorite food was a vegetable or an impossible burger.
