OT: Hashtag

The Square Above Charlie Weaver

I had a waitress at Chili's tonight that spoke in hashtag. Literally spoke in hashtag, as in "Hashtag I'll be right back.", "Hashtag the wings are good.", "Hashtag dessert?"

WTF? you don't SAY hashtag, do you?

Had one a while back fill out a job application. Did not use sentences. Used hashtags with no other punctuation, like this:

#my name is roberd (yes he spelled his name wrong)
# Microsoft Office
# Viseo
# Salesforce
# communications degree #uga (yes, a degree in communi-fucking-cations!!!!)
# 2 years experience

etc.

Out of morbid curiosity I called him. He was very uncomfortable speaking. After a few seconds he told me to wait a minute. The line went dead. Then he resumed the conversation in texting.
