Ye, I remember the first time seeing one of my nuns riding a bike without a habit on.

Relax, I didn't bother him.

Yea, I love it when strangers take my pic in public.

He's a "Celebrity" so it's to be expected.
BigfootAteMyBooty t1_j20amq1 wrote
No, it's not. He's also retired.
MeanwhileOnReddit t1_j22pva2 wrote
He is a local celebrity. Being retired doesn't make you no longer a local celebrity.
PurpleWhiteOut t1_j20dq67 wrote
He'd probably rather you said hi than take a picture of him without him knowing for the internet, at least I would
dammit_dammit t1_j20zevz wrote
Yeah, you just took a creep shot.
Chaz_Beer OP t1_j20zj92 wrote
Look, I'm just reporting the news, man.

"retired man goes to diner" is not news, LMAO
Girl-UnSure t1_j2197tj wrote
“Human who posts photo of retired man at diner on reddit, is slammed” seems like a standard Yahoo news article anymore

it seems like people are leaving him be. if you don’t like having your picture taken in 2023 you can’t leave your house, there are cameras everywhere.
Dicksapoppin69 t1_j20uu6x wrote
Don't try to tell us that some weirdo taking a creepshot is the same as CCTV in Walmart. Totally not the same thing dude.
willc9393 t1_j224xyp wrote
You probably believe it is fine the government spies on me because I have nothing to hide also, right?

Nope. Fuck them too. But cool attempt at a straw-man.

He is a dunker.

This is how I know it’s not him. Jim Gardner could not be a dunker.

Awesome diner 🍽️

I was there yesterday! The best old school diner. Efficient and professional service, great vibe, great value in food and drinks. I still think OP shouldn't have taken a picture furtively. Happy new year everybody!
Edit: autocomplete

Now everyone will go there looking for Jim....
Rustash t1_j212bin wrote
I live right up the street from it. Easily my favorite spot. I have yet to be disappointed in an order from there.
JT07 t1_j20u2is wrote
I saw Jim at Minella's a few years ago! I've heard he's there quite a bit.

Gary Papa used to eat there, too

Great diner too!

You can get a side of chipped beef there, and it's literally an entire bowl filled with it. It's fucking awesome, being lactose intolerant on the other hand, is not.

I was pretty upset when I learned this story a few weeks ago.
napsdufroid t1_j21oq2j wrote
Why?
popfilms t1_j22jx4m wrote
Because they made him change his name on account of him being Jewish?

PirelliSuperHard t1_j24pamp wrote
It is extremely common in this industry to change your stage name for a multitude of reasons.
popfilms t1_j25a2b7 wrote
Sure, but they made him do it because he was Jewish. That's pretty upsetting. As someone with an extremely Jewish name I have a hard time comprehending that.

What we got here is a feral Jim gardener…not native to these lands.

Used to see him when I worked at apple in Ardmore many moons ago. It was wild to hear that voice IRL. Had the same experience when I met Lou Nolan a few years ago.

Looks like a well stocked bar. Where?
Brunt-FCA-285 t1_j207fgp wrote
Minella’s Diner in Wayne has had a well-stocked bar at least since I started occasionally eating there during college breaks in the late 2000s. I do wish it was still 24 hours, but that’s probably nostalgia talking.
