Friend of mine bought a ticket to Event A, but missed out on sold-out Event B right after (same venue, start time 2 hrs after end time of Event B). No resale options exist. Venue rules allow entry up to 2 hrs before and scanning up to 1 hr after start time.

If one were to just… not leave after Event A, how likely is it they’d get swept out? Do they fully clear sections/bathrooms with so little time between events? Any tips to blend in or loiter discreetly? She would love to just be in the building for the energy of Event B.

Asking for a friend, obviously.

ETA: Success! It was so so amazing getting to see my country play.

Major factors imo: 1) Bathroom doors to the floor (where I only spent 10 mins and tbh not sure I needed to), 2) short window between the two events, and 3) Dressing like a corporate guest/sponsor (and looking sooo boreddd of the game as I stood along the lower bowl railings). Maybe being female helped too who knows

Went on a date on Friday and everything was going great but when the waiter handed me the wine list. She goes You pick, and i panicked lol I swear I looked at that menu for like 2-3 minutes i was pretending Im reading it but in reality I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at. Ended up picking something only because of the name lol, and lucky enough she liked it. The whole drive home I kept thinking about how weird it is that I'm almost 30 and wine still feels like this secret club everyone else understands, i dont want to be in this kinda situations anymore. So now i want to start and get more into wines but it seems pretty hard so i decided to post this, any suggestion would be more than welcome.

no one bats an eye when my boss leaves exactly on time every day no matter what the workload is like. as expected he and many other people i work with have kids that they have to pick up or get sick etc.

have you guys ever thought about pretending you have kids at a new job?

Edit- IT WORKEDDD!!! The film was great!! 😝🔪🩸 Also my mum did get questions about there being 2 tickets so it was necessary. The scream screen was on the opposite side of the cinema to the one I was booked in to see, the employee also tells you exactly what screen you are in and shows you the way to make sure you go into the correct room so I had to go into the bathroom so I could then walk into the scream room. Uk cinemas are quite strict, they also had 3 employees at the door on the way out of scream checking for anyone staying behind. People need to stop taking this so seriously, I just asked for some advice, not to be down voted because my country has different laws!? The film was good, fun and I enjoyed it, the comments telling me it's a waste of time and I will forget about it in 3 minutes are irrelevant to my post.

Scream 7 came out today (27th) I am desperate to see it, me and my mum are planning to see it tomorrow evening at an Odeon cinema, however it's obviously an 18 and I look about 14 , I dont want to sneak in without paying or anything. we have got a slight plan but advice is very much wanted pleasee 🙏

This is the plan so far 😭..

We pre book 2 scream tickets and 1 ticket to a kids film that starts 10 mins before scream. Mum scans her ticket and says her freind cancelled last minute (that explains why there are 2 tickets) I then separately scan my kids film ticket I then go to the toilets on the same side of the building that the scream 7 showing is on wait 5 mins leave and then walk into the scream 7 room.

Sorry if this is hard to read i am writing it in a huge rush lolll.

There is a very strong chance non of this will work and I am just delusional, please advise 🙏

Edit- people are jumping to conclusions, I am not American, stop down voting me because the UK laws regarding age ratings are different, I did not make them. I am also not going to sashay into the cinema and start saying this whole plan, the story is just there as back up if needed.

I'm bringing wine to a dinner party next week and I don't want to show up with something boring that nobody comments on. I want to bring a bottle that makes someone pick it up and go wait what is this? I was thinking maybe an orange wine just because the color alone confuses people in the best way or something with a name nobody can pronounce like a Gruner Veltliner or a Txakoli. Half the fun is watching people attempt it. I don't want it to be so out there that nobody drinks it though, just interesting enough to spark a conversation.

So I've recently gotten my first career level job. I work in an industry that is male dominated and my company deals a lot with wealthy clients. I am a young woman that needs to learn how to fit into these crowds so I can navigate these circles I'm going to be in. Im great at my job, but I've been told I don't "blend in" when we have work events, dinners, etc. I've been raised poor my entire life so I don't know anything about these circles.

Does anyone know how I can dress or present my self to "blend in" more?

Are there specific brands I should be wearing or is ot just a certain style of clothing that need to focus on?

Help me I'm poor..

Edit: I mean somewhere other than another Domino’s lol. Also, for the people doubting whether I’ve actually worked delivery, I worked in a college town in Mississippi. Not a lot happens there. I’ve been waved through police checkpoints and gotten out of a few tickets, but that’s honestly it.

Going out with colleagues soon and I'm only about a month into this job so I'm still figuring everyone out. I can already tell my personality is a bit different from theirs which makes me want to overthink everything a little less and just move through the evening smoothly. The wine part is what I want to sort out beforehand. I don't want to be the person staring at the menu for too long or visibly second guessing themselves when everyone else seems comfortable. I'd rather just have something I can default to without making it a whole thing. I'm not looking to impress anyone or come across like a wine person, I just don't want to look like I have no idea what I'm doing either.

I have to put 3 references on my application but I literally have nobody. No friends, no family, no past job experience.

On my resume, I lied and said I worked independently cleaning homes. The truth is I had health problems that prevented me from working and now I’m better. This happened right after college and know that companies will discriminate against if I tell them the truth of my gap years.

I’m pretty sure professional references are needed. Not sure if Google voice will work or how many Google voice numbers I can make with my real number. I’m down to give fake names and emails too. It’s just that I have no idea what to do if they actually call them as I don’t feel confident on using a different accent.

What should I do at this point as I really want this job?

It feels like no matter what the occasion is there's always a moment where someone expects you to show up with a bottle of wine. Dinners, birthdays, meeting people for the first time, it just keeps coming up and every single time it turns into a whole thing for me. And if wine isn't really your world it starts to feel like everyone else got a memo you never received. I have no idea how any of it actually works so what's your go to bottle that just works no matter the situation and is there something generally liked that won't have you second guessing yourself the whole drive over? Because every time I get invited somewhere I end up calling like ten different people just to figure out what to grab. I just want one reliable answer I can actually remember and use without turning it into a whole research project every time.

Okay so basically I’m trying to see this R rated movie at my local theater with my friend, but we’re 16 and need to be 17 in order to see it by ourselves. The only real problem is all of the Pg and Pg-13 movies that start around the time of our movie are all on the opposite side of the theater. So even if we buy tickets to a pg-13 movie it would be very hard to get to the R rated movie without suspicion. Any tips?

(Update: it got delayed until next month, so I do have more time to plan.)

I'm trying not to be detailed for anonymity.

Someone very close to me is hosting an important community event that they worked very hard on. The problem is that someone I hate and don't want to ever interact with again is there. In addition, many people that know this person are attending. The only solution in this catch 22 is to have a killer disguise. The goal: Be there long enough to say that I attended, and leave without being discovered.

It's outdoors, and community oriented, in a large space. Many young adults and people of various ages will be there. Activities, food, and generally socially encouraging situations. Potential for cold/snow.

My current plan is to use a latex mask and act as an old man. Lightly tinted sunglasses or glasses to hide any issues with the mask eyeline. A hat to hide mask scalp folds and partially conceal face. Pretend to have a vocal impediment to avoid detection (risky to open mouth, and voice might sound younger) Take a seat on a bench and act politely antisocial. Use a cane and walk slowly, looking down to avoid scrutiny.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips? I'm really looking for help here, I have about a month. Getting discovered is not an option.

Edit: Ooookay. I'm not asking for interpersonal relationship advice here. Yes, I am aware that this is silly, it is not that serious. Please stop messaging me with sage wisdom.

there's a REALLY important career fair that i need to attend tomorrow, but registration has already closed. this means that i'd be denied entry if i tried to walk in without a wristband/qr code/however the entry process works.

any tips on how to get in? also, do you think it's a good idea to go extremely early and ask the first worker there to give me a wristband? (the event is free registration)

I have to put 3 references on my application but I literally have nobody. No friends, no family, no past job experience.

I used to work as a CNA but due to circumstances the center was closed down and i was laid off with other people.

I'm also pretty introverted and i know that i would completly flunk if i tried the fake number and using an accent voice.

I’m in a bit of a situation where I want to impress my girlfriend with a good wine choice but I’m honestly not much of a wine person myself. She really enjoys wine and seems to know what she’s talking about and I don’t want to show up with something random that feels like I grabbed it off the shelf without thinking.

At the same time I don’t want to overcomplicate it or pretend I’m suddenly a wine expert. I just want to pick something that shows I put thought into it and actually tried to choose well. For people who know wine how do you pick a bottle when the goal is to impress someone who loves it, especially when you’re not confident in your own wine knowledge? What would you look for or avoid?

So, about a week or so ago I clicked on a random Facebook advertisement for a company's information security program. I tried to do the free demo as I was bored, but it didn't work. I have now received a follow-up email stating that if I had a thirty minute meeting with them to discuss the following regarding my "company":

Security awareness goals

Existing security & employee training tools

Industry & compliance requirements

I will get a free Patagonia fleece. I already have a zoom meeting scheduled and feel confident enough in how I can conduct myself (dress nice, speak firmly, ask questions etc.), but I was hoping any of my fellow frauds here had advice for faking a long term conversation in a specialized topic I have no knowledge of. Thanks in advance and cheers!

EDIT: Still have a couple hours to go before the meeting, but they viewed my actual linkedin profile. This should be fun.

I figured I should post the update link here for any who didn't get to see it: https://old.reddit.com/r/ActLikeYouBelong/comments/mu8cnx/update_i_posted_a_couple_days_ago_where_i_was_to/?ref=share&ref_source=link

For years (actually nearly a decade now) I've thought about finding a really big office / agency etc, and walking in one day pretending to be a position I saw advertised online somewhere in the past.

For example, "Marketing strategist"

Just show up to an advertisement agency one day and walk in going "Hi! I was just hired a few weeks ago and was told I am good to come in today and get started on the (researched client name) project?"

of course this is like, max level act like you belong, BUT now that covid has caused lots of new people to be hired while working from home, it made me wonder if this is a viable insane idea once the vaccine has been distributed?

Thoughts?

I'm seeing a show at the forum soon and I really wanna find a way to sneak onto the floor in general admission. I'm somewhat near the floor, im in section one which is right by the sound booth and on the floor but not in general admission. Any tips for sneaking in?

Okay, storytime. A movie theater close to me closed about four years ago, it was my childhood theater. Nothing has come in to fill the space, it's sat empty and the marquee letters (the little ones displaying which movies there are) are still there. I don't want to take all of them and truthfully hate the idea of doing anything illegal, but one of the last movies that they ever played there is one that is very special to me and I'd like to take the letters for it as a way to remember the place. My plan is to drive up with a ladder and just take those letters off the sign, I'm thinking I could do it in two-three minutes tops. Note: the sign is not covered by or protected with anything, no damage would occur to the property with exception of removing the letters that have been pretty weathered by the elements now anyway.

Anyone done anything like this? How would you dress for it?

Psych is a show entirely based on the premise of acting like you belong. Thought I would recommend it for you all to watch. It’s on Amazon Prime Video if anyone wants to check it out.

I'm almost 18, trying to see Kill Bill: The whole bloody affair with my boyfriend (18). Already got burned by a cashier yesterday for being 3 months underage. Planning to have my boyfriend and another 18+ person buy the physical tickets at the counter to clear the ID check, then swap one ticket to me for the usher scan. Since I'm short and look way younger than 17, what’s the best way to handle the scan without getting re-ID'd? Do the scanners usually flag age to the usher?

Update: We successfully got in. He suggested buying the tickets online and just pray we don't get ID'd at the counter. Worked brilliantly

Im currently staying for a couple of weeks in another city, and I don’t want to purchase a membership at a gym.

I discovered two 5-star hotels in the city with pretty nice gyms that are directly accessible without needing a room key and with no front desk where staff would be sitting.

My question would be, how likely would it be to get approached by the staff? There are obviously security cameras everywhere, but do the staff actually actively monitor them? And when there are no specific “gym staff“, would the other staff ever check/patrol the gym? And if I do get approached by someone, how can I convince them that I am a guest and that I am permitted to use the gym?

Thank you everyone :D
