Athlete Banned From All-You-Can-Eat Restaurant After Downing A Massive Amount Of Sushi In One Sitting ๐ฎ
Jaroslav Bobrowski is a German triathlete. He's is 5'7", weighs 174 pounds, and has less than 10% body fat. Based on his stats, one would imagine Bobrowski survives solely on a well-balanced, strategically-proportioned diet, right? Wrong.
Bobrowski has adopted a unique diet similar to that of intermittent fasting. The typical approach to intermittent fasting is to fast for 16 hours a day and to consume your day's calories within an eight-hour time frame. Other methods involve fasting for a 24-hour period twice a week, or eating only 500-600 calories twice a week and eating normally the rest of the week.
Bobrowski's method is more extreme. He fasts for a 20-hour period, consuming his day's calories in four hours.
Recently he chose Running Sushi, an all-you-can-eat conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Landshut, Germany, as the place for his daily binge.
While at the restaurant, Bobrowski consumed a whopping 100 plates of sushi. Furthermore, the restaurant's Trip Advisor page pictures two to three pieces of sushi per plate. That means Bobrowski probably ate somewhere around 200-300 pieces of sushi.
Some have estimated that he ate 4,000 calories in that sitting, possibly 18 pounds worth of food.
So, what happens when you eat that much sushi at an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet? You get banned.
The athlete said:
When I went to the checkout, I wanted to tip, but the waiter did not want to accept that. I'm banned from now on because I'm eating too much. I was stunned.
The buffet costs โฌ15.90, or approximately $18, for supposedly unlimited food. Because of their pricing, the restaurant makes money only from drinks.
Running Sushi's owner, Tan Le, spoke about why they chose to ban Jaroslav:
I myself am dead after 13 plates, but he always took five or seven plates at a time, so there was a gap on the sushi carousel and the other guests asked if we had skimped on the fish. I want to win customers and not offend any guests. But at โฌ15.90 for unlimited sushi, we only earn money on the drinks and he only consumed one tea the whole evening.
Many people couldn't help but think of another famous guy who was also banned from an all-you-can-eat buffet.

It seems as though Running Sushi has since amended their rules.

It also looks as though Bobrowski is not the only athlete who has been banned from an all-you-can-eat joint.

He does, however, seem to be the only "sushi man." Bobrowski will continue his pursuits at another buffet, China City.
Have you ever heard of a certain job that people call a career and thought... "PEOPLE PAY YOU FOR THAT?!?!"
All hard, honest work is good work.
And then there is just trash work.
And I don't mean garbage collection, that is honest work.
I don't know how some people live with themselves.
Redditor MrTuxedo1 wanted to discuss the careers they don't believe people should chase. They asked:
"What job do you have no respect for?"
Ticket scalpers. How do you the audacity to say that's a job?
Actual burglars have more empathy.
Disrespectful
"There are debt collectors who call relatives of the deceased to pay off their debts when they are not legally obligated to."

Shady. Shady.
"Australian Real Estate Agents. Laws don't seem to apply to them. Just as dodgy in sales and rentals alike. Never seen anything like it overseas."

"I'm in the US, it can vary state by state but my state is pretty strict on realtor laws. Some states require attorney review and there are definitely penalties for being reported for shady sh*t. It does require consumer reporting though."

Etransfer
"Where I live, tax info was leaked and now scammers are targeting low income individuals/families (people earning under 30,000 per year) with etransfer scams. I got one the other day that was an etransfer warning that 240$ 'a family member sent me' was about to expire."
SnowyInuk
"Thatโs disgusting. The scammers know what theyโre doing, they know the harm they cause people and yet they donโt care."

Should be illegal...
"MLM managers. Not the low level idiots that get suckered into it, they suck too for trying to bring new people into that sh*tshow, but the people who create them know exactly what they are doing and are pretty much the only ones who profit off of it. Should be illegal. Pyramid schemes are illegal. None of them ever get the just desserts except occasionally by vigilantes I assume."

โ'Dating Expert.' Sadly itโs a thing. Itโs basically a self appointed title that requires no training or qualifications. Whatโs worse, is that I have a female friend who uses one. Itโs very much a blind leading the blind situation."

EVIL
"Poachers. Especially big game poachers who purposefully hunt nearly extinct animals from species they know they are on the brink."
"I know there are poachers that come from rural villages who are trying to just put food on the table, which has my sympathy but poachers who come from money and hunt down animals minding their business in most shelters or restricted areas just to put a head on their wall as a trophy are absolutely heinous."

"Psychic Mediums. Specifically those who prey on the grieving."

"I've always found it interesting how many magicians go after people like this. I think it's because they know what it takes to trick people for the art. The slight of hand and mentalism. And they abhor people who use these tactics for such sh*tty purposes."

I want so bad to believe in psychics and mediums. What say we on that topic?

The nose is constantly being attacked by odors of the world.
Going through one day without having to hold my breath during a certain point, is a miracle.
Of course, I'm a New Yorker, so I maybe exaggerating for people in the countryside.
What's funnier is odors that are pleasant, that shouldn't be.
Have you ever looked and something and thought... "yuck."
But then you smelled it and it was like... "oh lovely,"
Redditor HappQueue wanted to know what aromas are arousing to the senses that may come as a surprise to many. They asked:
"What smells good but shouldn't?"
For some odd reason I love the things burning. Anything, food, pots, pans. You name it. Weird.
Blow
"Matches/candles on a birthday cake. I remember lighting matches as a kid purely to blow them out and inhale that sweet match-y smell."
semispooked
"guilty good"
"I work at a Chemical plant. We make a highly acidic product that is dark blue, viscus, highly corrosive, and smells exactly like Fruit Loops. It is incredibly disturbing."
Turin082
"Organic chemistry has many 'guilty good' smells. Thiophosgene (sulfur derivative of a chemical weapon used extensively in WW1) apparently smells like meat. Phosgene is used to make polycarbonate, thiophosgene is used to make some sulfur-containing molecules which eventually end up in therapeutic drugs."
HammerTh_1701
I can't huff it...
"Paint, specifically house paint. I love the smell. But anytime I hear that anyone is painting a room or their house, I volunteer. I just love sitting on the floor in a room that's been freshly painted, closing my eyes and just inhaling that slightly chemically, slightly creamy aroma."
Neowza
A Hint of French...
"A fish and chips shop burnt down as couple blocks from work a few years ago. The whole neighborhood smelled amazing for days. Just the slight hint of French fries. Nothing overpowering. It was so awesome. Until I found out someone was trapped in the fire and died."

Drag
"Race fuel. Instantly puts me in a good mood as it reminds me of going to the drag races with my dad when I was young."
garfnodie
Fuel and matches get me too. And they sort of go together. Interesting.
Just like the Movie...
"The water from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Mmm, bromine."
Stalkerslovemy
"This is one of my favorite scents of all time, and Disney is very aware that people enjoy it. Evidently itโs a lot harder to recreate than just adding bromine to water."
cash4panties
"black widow".
"There's a chicken wing restaurant near my house that has a challenge sauce called "black widow." The owner claims it to be around 500,000 scovilles. A few years back some buddies and I decided to try them, the sauce was a dark molasses color and smelled almost like a BBQ sauce, no hint of the danger that lurked at all. We each grabbed one wing and it went terribly. I don't know how something so spicy could smell so innocent."
Final-Chapter
Endless Weekend
"Hotel/rented rooms whenever you go on vacation. There's this particular smell that just says 'you are on vacation,' especially on a beach/swimming trips/out-of-the-town vacays."
Yummy_Llama
"Bath and Body Works has a plug-in scent called Endless Weekend that replicates that scent (to my humble nose)."
Exxcentrica
"oh no..."
"Someone you are attracted to's body odors. Anyone else who is slightly unhygienic smells repulsive."
Mini_gunslinger
"I remember back in high school a girl leaned over, sniffed me, told me that I smelled really good, and asked me what cologne I was wearing. I asked if she was joking, and she's like, no, you smell really good. When I told her I had just gotten done with gym class, she gets a small 'oh no...' look on her face and turns away. I think we both had a revelation that day."

That Smell

I do love the smell of plastics and inflatables. Ahh....

At one point in time, we've misplaced things that we've considered priceless possessions.
It's hard to imagine how to go on without the lost objectโwhatever it may beโbut over time, it becomes a distant memory and we move on.
That is until we magically find ourselves presented with this opportunity proposed by Redditor mikehotel288, who asked:
"You find yourself in a room with everything youโve ever lost in your life. What do you look for first?"

Safety Blanket
"My baby blanket. It became tattered over the yearsโto the point where I couldnโt reasonably wash it anymoreโso I had to throw it away a little while back."
"I have heavily regretted that decision. I was really attached to it (hence it being in tatters), but I really wish that I kept what was left of it instead of throwing it away. Just knowing that Iโd still have it would be a huge comfort to me."

Sentimental Heirloom
"The pendant my dad had made for me with my grandmotherโs engagement diamond. It was 2 carats. It disappeared from a Las Vegas hotel room 20 years ago. It was hidden deep in a suitcase where it would not have been easy to find. It was just GONE. Cops didnโt do anything. Didnโt even come to take my statement. Cleaning lady said she thought she saw an elderly man enter my room. The guy I was with was not sympathetic in the least. Entire situation was f**ked. Iโm still so upset about it."

What's worse than returning home from a night out or a workday and discovering your home was broken into? Being home when the break-in happens.
Home invasions are a common trope portrayed in horror films like The Strangers and Funny Games, and they're absolutely terrifying because they are based on real-life incidents.
Redditor silentagent47 asked strangers to consider this horrifying hypothetical.
"You have 5 minutes to prepare before a guy breaks into your house with the intention to kill you. You can not exit your house. What is your strategy to survive?"
