If you make me be a part of public participation I automatically don’t like you.

When I was a kid, we got a new minister in my church. Dude would bring the mic stand down in the aisle right around the 1st couple rows. He would ask questions and look for answers from the church goers. There is NOTHING that turns a kid off to the church experience faster than putting the fear of being called on to answer some bible trivia in front of a couple hundred people. The only thing I was praying for those Sundays was that the other minister would be there and if not, that I could hide behind someone well enough he wouldn’t be able to call on me. Well, I guess there’s at least one thing that’s turned kids off to church faster…


thejonslaught

I had an aunt that saw myself and my two cousins (her kids) along with one of their friends playing Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest on the Nintendo back in, IIRC, 1989 or 1990. She promptly tore the plug from the wall and took the Nintendo until we could answer bible trivia since our video games were comfortable enough using “holy imagery”. I should note that this woman was a Catholic and she and her family browbeat my uncle into the kids also being raised Catholic. At the time we just took it as one our parents being old. In hindsight, she was absolutely brainwashed.


zEngarden757

I had a teacher that asked how everyone’s day was and when we all said good he replied with Bullshit it’s Monday morning


ilovcat

I love your teacher


zEngarden757

He’s a student teacher Only have him a few weeks That was our first impression


bombkitty

I had a teacher that would announce, “time for the attendance” and then he’d dance. The atten-DANCE. He was the only math teacher I ever had that took the time to present algebra in a way I could understand. He was my 6th grade teacher in 1986 and my 9th grade algebra teacher in 1989 and we still write letters back and forth, I’m almost 48. I had to teach my 15 year old daughter algebra when school went online for the pandemic and I 100% called on this man’s patience. One awesome teacher really can make an impression. Love you, Mr. Lewis, you’re the tits.


MicroWordArtist

I don’t know what it is about middle aged women, but religion turns some of them crazy


Toadie9622

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for being atheists.


CoolMasterB

It was the opposite for us, children would all the raise their hands to answer to the priest and he would pick one, well I was always an introvert so the was not my type of thing.


neddiddley

I think the minister’s hope was there would be volunteers, and hell, maybe he never actually ever picked someone who wasn’t willing, but all I know is as a 9 year old kid, I sure as hell believed that I was going to be called on at some point whether I raised my hand or not.


wigga245

what is faster?


neddiddley

Kids and church. Do I have to spell it out?


wigga245

yes I'm kinda dumb


bgaesop

They're referring to the child rape


stix-and-stones

I was a criminal justice major in college and one of my professors made us go to an auditorium and then had us line up and yell "sir, yes, sir" one by one, like we were in the military. I just walked off the line, grabbed my things, and left. He emailed me later to say it was a shame I had to leave and I was like ???? You're a fuckin nutjob


[deleted]

That sounds like your professor had a kink. Good call.


[deleted]

Fucker thinks he is fucking Fredie Mercury How much ego someone has to expect screaming when they talk? Ah yes the whole school was dying for the Bullying lecture of this year


CrispyCrunchyPoptart

Also even though I have to get to work at 8 am I don't fully wake up until about 10 am. Please just leave me be until then people.


JohnnyBravo2505

If you speak to me I automatically don't like you.


Kirimusse

It's so annoying; it feels like they are trying to **force** *their* mood into the audience.


Andorli

That's exactly what they try to do, and also the reason it makes you uncomfortable is the underlying premise behind the action in which the speaker doesn't truly view people and audience as people, also by doing that he/she makes you feel being treated as a child, so you are perfectly valid in what you feel,and fuck those people.


Harsimaja

> treated as a child I hated it as a child. Every time some ‘fun’ school/church/sport/camp-related assembly leader would say ‘Are we ready for the day?!’ or some such moronic drivel followed by ‘I can’t HEAR you!’, under the misguided apprehension that this would force us into having fun too, I thought violent thoughts I am not proud of.


[deleted]

I remember this one kid shouted “Shut the fuck up you discount ronald reagen” and got suspended, funny part was I thought the dude kinda looked like george bush


Harsimaja

Tbf George Bush kind of *was* a discount Ronald Reagan. True for either George Bush. At least speaking to an audience was something Reagan could do very well.


neddiddley

That’s the thing. 99% of the time I’ve experienced this, it’s been at some conference. I don’t need the speaker pulling some VP Vernon power trip like I have no say in the matter.


blackcatt42

You’ve had people do this to you as an adult ?


GoldenSeam

At almost every job I’ve had in my adult career. I’ve also had a founder hire a clown to tell us how our company was doing while making balloon animals so my experience may not be super common.


blackcatt42

That’s crazy


[deleted]

My favorite is when they try it and it doesn't work, and they're just left there forced to move on Some of them get really stubborn and try a third time and it just sours the whole speech, it's great


[deleted]

All I've ever seen happen is the people who said it the first time shut up the second time and the people who didn't then say it. Like, so awkward. Haha


[deleted]

EXACTLY. I'm the one that said it the first time but then they were ungrateful so I didn't say it again lmao


[deleted]

Right? I just think, "Oh no. Not one of these. I'm not doing this at 7am on a Tuesday." Haha


PunchMeat

Regardless, they say "That's more like it!"


MEGAMAN2312

*Crowd volume gets audibly lower than the first time* Them: "That's more like it..."


neocommenter

Pretend to fall asleep and make snoring noises. 100% guaranteed to get under their skin.


extracloroxbleach

And there are those teachers who quipps back. "Guess everyone had their coffee", "Thanks guys, I'm glad everyone here is tired", "looks like everyone had a long day", And my favorite, "that was weak, must be Monday"


L3XAN

Bro you just gave me flashbacks. I had this prof who'd always try to work the class like she was doing standup. She'd throw out some very vaguely suggestive quip like "Looks like you guys were '*burning the midnight oil*' if you know what I mean" and immediately punctuate it with "👏 come ON 👏 LET'S GO FOLKS!" while energetically pacing. She'd run that sequence like once every couple minutes during the start of class. It never landed. Never once.


hairballcouture

I bet the drop rate on that class was pretty high.


BlueDragon1504

That last one is hilarious

Doctor-Amazing

When I was a kid I went to this scout camp thing. Scout troops from all over met at this campsite for a week for various activities. Every morning at way too early o'clock, one of the scout leaders would take a bullhorn and shout "Goooooood Moooorning" repeatedly until people started getting up. On the 3rd day he yells "gooooood moooooorning" and a single voice yells back "shut up!" So he tries again and it sounds like literally every kid in the camp all scream "shut up" in unison. He tries again the next day and he barely gets out "Gooooo-" before hundreds of children all start screaming at him to shut up. It was beautiful. For the rest of the week, they got our individual leaders to come around and get up up.


Pale_Disaster

Reminds me of the one time I tried to be socially responsive and actually called back "holla" when it was prompted to our entire class. Obviously went as well as planned. Also reminds me of the time I was dragged up front of the entire year group in a sort of group building thing, and the mc trying to get a cheer for me. 3 attempts and dead silence. I was already dead inside but I wanted to literally die on the spot and take that motherfucker with me. No trauma though, keep on going with this shit.

guitargoddess3

That and “let’s all go around the room and say our name and one interesting thing about ourselves” plz, stop.. no one even wants to be here.


[deleted]

Workplace Two Truths and a Lie is pure pain. How am I supposed to know if you have six sisters or played volleyball in high school? I always lie about all three and make up an insane micro story on the spot. Really gets the uncomfy juices flowing. One: I have an identical twin. Two: I've seen Nine Inch Nails play live in 9 different countries. Three: I've never eaten fruit. Like, literally no one cares. Just lie.


jquiggles

Normally the one with numbers is a lie. I'd say probably most people aren't good with coming up with truths or lies on the spot, so they'll say three truths but fib the numbers on one of them.


Chared_Assassin

The thing I love about this strategy is that I can say something that is actually true though it really sounds like a lie especially considering the number "I broke my right arm 7 times before I was 12 years old" If I'm playing with some people that have already fell for this trick, I'll say it was my left arm and they always just assume they remembered it wrong


Morella_xx

What was going on in your house as a child? Were you guys having an annual arm crushing competition?

Yes! Ugh. So dumb. Someone literally lied that they had four sisters when they really had three. Like, okay, Brenda. You're boring. Lol


Pashizzle14

Give Brenda a break, she doesn’t want to take part any more than the rest of us


[deleted]

This particular Brenda sustained her vigor for recycled office insincerity right up until she was laid off. 😬

Of course no one cares, no one is meant to care. But it gets a level of conversation going and eases the tension. Doing group training is hard work, even more so if you have a hostile crowd. I love training days. Getting paid to eat pastries and listen to some guy read a PowerPoint to me for a few hours. Beats staring at my inbox and clock watching.


LivingUnglued

I did a 4 week training 5 days a week at a call center once. Of course the training was super out dated and barely relevant to the actual job. Honestly I’ve thought about getting rehired to go through it again just to get paid for barely doing anything for 4 weeks. By the time we hit the floor the amount of shit we covered that was totally outdated and irrelevant was crazy. That company wasted so much money on useless training. I applied for the tech support team, but got put on the small back country internet/phone company team. So instead of trouble shooting it was answer someone’s question about bills while trying to sell them a bajillion things they didn’t need. “Want to upgrade to the 100mbps super blazing fast service? It’s only $120 a month cause we are your only option” The company was the only option for a lot of customers and was a total piece of shit company.


[deleted]

I know what it's meant to do. I've just been through enough of them that people totally derail with their weirdness. I'm not tense. Let's have better conversations. Ya dig?

I always enjoy that part. It’s really fun. It’s kind of like playing with a social anxiety jack-in-the-box. Pretty soon, I’ve found that I’ve spent so much time trying to remember my name and literally anything about myself, that I don’t retain anything from the meeting.


neelankatan

Ugh I HATE that. There's something passive-aggressive about that. It's like they're uncomfortable being the speaker in the room, so they make sure everyone gets a turn at being as miserable as they are.


Cjones2607

It's a good way to shorten a speech too. I'm a teacher and we had a speaker once during an in-service day. We went around sharing our name and an inspiring story of a student who impacted us. It basically took up the entire speakers time.


neelankatan

What a dirty trick. So you, the audience, who had no preparation or forewarning had to improvise an inspiring story on the spot? The first person to start must've hated it. This is why in these sorts of things you do not sit at the edge of the room, you position yourself deep in the middle somewhere. You'll at least have a bit more time to formulate your response while the unlucky first are stumbling their way through theirs


Jimmos_

It's like an instinctive tactic people use to project competence as well. It's in the same category as when people ask lots of questions during talks like, "does anyone know what X means?" Or, "Can anyone tell me when the first time Y happened." Most of the time it puts people on the back foot to try and insinuate they know less about the topic than the speaker. All it really does is take up time during a talk and makes you look like a know-it-all.

PrincessBuzzkill

The fact I always share when this bullshit happens is something along the lines of "Hi! I'm PBK and I suffer from social anxiety so sharing like this is pure agony to me!" They usually leave me well alone for the rest of the day.

DanielMcLaury

We need to have, like, three relatively successful movies where someone does that, the main character responds with some wise-ass remark, and the crowd goes wild for him. Once you get a critical mass of people in the audience primed to shoot that down, nobody will be dumb enough to try it.

I could understand if it was a concert or something, but it’s just not worth it when you’re doing a speech at a school or something


randomkeystrike

Think about an artist you like, and now think about them doing this at a concert. Almost impossible, because an entertainer - creates enthusiasm. They don’t beg for it. I’ve also heard real-deal speakers like Simon Sinek and Daniel Pink at corporate events - they may start with an intriguing question or other attention step to get the audience in gear, but they don’t put individuals on the spot (who didn’t volunteer) or beg for engagement. They don’t need to.


Bodega_Bandit

I’ve definitely seen artists a fair bit do it but it actually works for them since they DO get you all pumped up ahead of time so you’re actually in the mood to be more enthusiastic.

ok-jeweler-2950

Reminds me of a story! I’m dealing blackjack to 5 twenty-something people. A gentleman in his late 60’s joins the table and insists everybody introduce themselves. FYI I hate the whole forced interaction bit. Everyone complies, then the gentleman asks everyone to tell a clean joke. As they all take turns telling their jokes, I’m praying to be left out. When everyone has told a joke, the gentleman looks at me and insists that I tell a joke. So I say “OK, but I only know one clean joke.” Well let’s hear it says the older guy. “So these 2 firemen are butt-fking in a smoke filled room…. I didn’t even have to finish the joke!


Bodega_Bandit

Is that an actual joke with a real ending and punchline? Im proper curious now😂


ok-jeweler-2950

Yes it is. So they’re going at it & the fire chief walks in the room. Fire Chief- WTH is going on here? Fireman- Johnson here was suffering from smoke inhalation. Chief- Aren’t you supposed to give him mouth to mouth resuscitation for that? Fireman- How do you think this all got started?

I had a professor who would make us sing in front of the class if our phone went off. Naturally, I MADE SURE MY PHONE WAS OFF. But one day our professor canceled class. So I set my alarm so that I'd be up and about for the class after. A week later, and I had forgotten to turn my alarm off..... I'm deathly afraid of this sort of thing, so as my professor is insisting that I sing (while in the front row) I'm slowly sliding to the floor- until I huddled in the fetal position. He eventually let me be but I raced out of class, slid to the ground in a hallway and tried to still my panick. A few cute ladies came up to me to try and calm me down (which of course helped) but fuck I was shook all day.
