To call a taxi you can go in the red zone but the hand has to be sideways and you must be doing a frantic fast waving while screaming “TAXIII” in a high pitch voice. Also get on your tippy toes.

[-] Aidan@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

And it’s not an open palm gesture, you point only your index finger up. Otherwise it looks like you’re just waving at someone

[-] beanz00_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

if you face your palm to the side rather than to the ground it looks less bad

"Call waiter" is also grade school "Pick me, I know the answer!"

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

You have to say "oohoohooh!" along with it.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Omg I remember kids in middle school making that sound like they're in a zoo. But then again, I did go to a school that felt like a zoo.

[-] sparemethewearysigh@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Only if you’re the Hermione Granger type lol

[-] damien@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 year ago

Help! I put my arm in the red zone and now I hear marching outside.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 year ago

Lemme fix that for you real quick...

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Icht bin schleebin unst der Fuhrer! 9! 9!

[-] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

As a German I would not even think of trying any of these except Rest or Call Waiter.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

As an American, I almost never have to call a waiter because they swing by every five minutes to make sure I'm not dead.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

Yes, but not one time have they swung by to find you dead, so it's obviously working.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I... I can't find fault in that logic.

[-] kibiz0r@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

As a midwesterner, I never call a waiter because I don’t want to bother them.

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

As an introvert with social anxiety I never call a waiter because I eat my food at home away from people like the rest of the losers

[-] MisterEspinacas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"If you're alive, could I interest you in some dessert? We have a wide selection of desserts! If you don't order dessert and you're not dead, please leave. Your table is useless because you aren't buying anything more!"

Honestly, when I made the username I didn't really think that it would be taken into correlation. That's why there's "dev" at the end because I just wanted a cool username and combine it with my hobby.

Just a disclaimer because we also do not joke about what our ancestors did.

[-] tweeks@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

Interesting hobby for a dev

[-] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I will never touch my keyboard ever again

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Better add some extra degrees to be on the save side when in Germany or Israel

[-] MisterEspinacas@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Do parents pet their children now? So strange!

[-] kool_newt@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Does the right wing realize they could cripple humanity by using the angles in green to mean like "I'm a secret racist". We'd all be walking around like penguins ruled by our arm wielding racist overlords!

[-] hemko@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Oh boy that was a wild read

[-] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

You mean like milk and the circle game?

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

New Secret Hitler game irl

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Red zone is “how to get in Italy’s governing party” (/s but not really that much)

The red zone is how we stop the bus in argentina

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I'm just practicing to stop Japanese katana with bare hands

[-] Mvlad88@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What's the difference between Hitler and Winnetou?

15 degrees.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It's very easy to solve by kinking your arm a little.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Just bring out the other hand and go for a dab
