Was eating food, the person in front had a chapo trap house shirt. I said "Oh, I listen to the podcast too (i lied), that makes you a volcel!"

Then the person said "Uh, that's in an interesting thing to say to a stranger."

Sounds like a copypasta but its a true story, i swear. I don't know what the moral of the story is, I just wanted to share.

    I saw a chapo user at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by starting struggle sessions about pronouns

    One time I was at an IWW meeting, we were getting ready to start when a new guy who looks to be about 18 comes in, we of course roll out the welcome wagon. I walk over introduce myself, shake his hand, and point at his CTH shirt and say "Hey, a fellow grey wolf. Awwooooooooooooooooooooooooo" I awoood for as long as I had breath in my lungs. He clearly felt slightly embarrased but all credit to him he handled it well. This was hard to type I was laughing so hard at this memory. Holy shit. That awoo lasted like 10 seconds or something. I'm surprised he's an active IWW member still like 2 years later after that intro. Good kid, I'm glad he stuck around.

    I fucking awood at a teenager, what's wrong with me. Jesus christ I'm going to be laughing about this until I die.

    I keep shopping myself around for interviews as a former moderator of /r/CTH and acclaimed offshoot /r/CTH3 to my media friends, but haven't had any takers yet.

      I met a chapo user at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere the chapo user shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big podcast listener) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” The chapo was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, that Chapo and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

    I can tell this is fake because you smell CTH users before you see them.

    I live with lefties so my entire house has heard of it, but only the partner of one of my roomies actually listens to it/enjoys it/gets the humour.
