Joe is stealing leftover food on the cruise 😆👍

[bumbum8]

It's pretty funny the amount of stuff going on with Joe right now. I was hoping Nana's shitty, lead-filled Chinese fireworks would light her afro on fire but this works.

Joe posting pictures of the techs means they're probably the only two people on the cruise who are consistently nice to him, because it's their job. Sad.

Someone said it before, but I'm also positive his is the only room they search, and I'm sure it reeks so much of Boomer BO and dryer sheets they don't bother doing a thorough job.

I also see how Sr. influences him still with his thieving. Makes me wonder if it's the only thing he's taught to Layla and if she actively follows in his footsteps or is so ashamed of his behavior he actually reverse psychologied her into not ever doing it.

He has a very melanated behavior.

It's getting towards the end so he's deliberately sabotaging the professional relationship. I can't wait to see his posts that will be him trashing the company for inconsequential shit and giving lots of the finger emojis.

I bet he spent the first few days trying to be optimistic about the situation. He looked at the room and said “little gross but at least I don’t have a roommate. This is fine.”

He reported for his first evac drill a little excited to meet people. He looked around for people that he could buddy up and joke with only to see he’s surrounded by young and middle age Filipinos / Indonesians who were politely waiting to get through the drill.

He gets dressed and starts walking to the stage for his first performance, excited to see the set up. He walks up to the spot and sees a chair, a mic, and an amplifier sitting in the back corner of a lounge, facing outward into the hallway. He’s distracted by the people passing through to go to the casino. He hears a “ding” and realizes that the lounge is right next to an elevator and staircase. He looks at the schedule of events and sees the lead in to his timeslot - trivia.

After 3 days of eating alone, it dawns on him that this isn’t what he thought it was going to be. He does the quick math in his head and a cold chill runs down his spine - there's still 116 days left until he can go home.

*POP*

“…Did I just break a tooth…?”

I think getting booted out of the casino was what really sunk his battleship.

You don't think he will be gracious and have positive things to say about the management team who kicked him out of the casino, made him wear a waiter's suit and inspected his cabin regularly for contraband ?

*Does Sam even still do that bit? Haven't listened to Sam & Jim so he may have stopped that ~8 years ago

 

[Carol's Stink Blaster]

All he had to do was brush his teeth. Instead he chose Jameson and sugar cookies right before knocking out

 

[Humanatee]

Don't know how I missed this post until now. This is so goddamn funny. It's like he's living in the Shawshank Redemption but on water. I'd have thrown myself overboard after a week of this experience but Joe is just having to grin and bear it and keep posting his "crew-life hacks".

It's a shame this is coming to an end soon but knowing Joe he'll be back on the high seas within a few months when another cruise ship operator offers him incredible perks like being able to decide what he's able to eat and drink in his room.

I want more of these. Just little vignettes detailing Joe's misery. All entries welcome.

Except instead of making it to Mexico with a lot of money, Joe will be released older, broker and none the wiser. He should have stayed at home and got a job at Walmart.

Same. Joe's cruise ship experience is the funniest thing in the world to me. He's so uniquely stupid to have even signed up for this in the first place. It's like he did it just to entertain us.

 

[NoBacon]

Joe content is really funny tho... This could put his profile in lockdown unless someone is friends with him?

I guess it's easy for him to accept a friend request, pretend to be a 12 year old girl

I held fire because the continuing misadventures of Joe Cumia without intervention are funnier than saying he called me a nigger at the cruise bar.

 

[Racist Google Intern]

I still want to send in glowing reviews so he might get another contract

 

[TorpidSloth]

Someone said it before, but I'm also positive his is the only room they search

He identified himself as a problem to management early on when he tried to get into the onboard casino. That told them that he either didn't bother to read his contract or he didn't care and thought it didn't apply to him.

Either way, I'm sure he was given a dressing down and told politely but firmly (by someone half his age for whom English is a second or possibly third language) that misunderstandings happen, but the next infraction will be met with an official verbal warning. He's had a pissy attitude towards the whole thing ever since.

Page 11-14 of his employee handbook. For even further rib-assaulting rules, see pages 21 and 33.

And of course you're right, literally everything he's been complaining about is outlined in the employee handbook. And it's not like it's an actual physical thing anymore, you can search for things that may pertain to you, such as dress and gambling.

It also speaks to his lack of employment, as anyone who has worked anywhere ever knows basic rules as an employee are don't steal and dress like a slob, and that transfers in some ways to other places you work.
You work in a library? You don't get to sit and read all day, you help others be able to do that. You work at a car dealership? You don't go test driving the cars all day, that's for potential buyers. If you work in a casino, of fucking course you don't get to sit and gamble. You're there to work.

Anyone who works knows this by like 18, but Joe is 70 and being forced to mind. This is someone's father lol

 

[Troy Maclure]

Because to Brotha Joe, everything is about getting one over on the man. He is always one step ahead of everyone else and has it all figured out.

Others are too stupid to figure out how to be a thief and therefore don't get to enjoy the perks of cookies hidden in Pringles

His need to constantly twist things so that it’s a “win” for him that he can brag about and lord over people has to be some holdover damage from his fucked up childhood

He's not allowed to drink, in his cabin or anywhere else on the boat.

 

[DominusOdium]

He really is a nigger.

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

The him pretending he didn’t know he couldn’t gamble is something they make very clear you CANT do for obvious reasons (your buddy is the dealer and telling you their hand so you win, etc.) but Joe either didn’t pay attention or thought those rules didn’t apply to him since he’s the “entertainment”

For example if you worked for any of the MGM casinos (Vegas and elsewhere) you can’t gamble at the casino you work at AND you can’t at any MGM property or you will be fired. But rules don’t apply to the Joe cow.

I actually wonder if his room being inspected from time to time is related to the casino incident.

Dont forget that this was a year in the making too. He was supposed to do it in 2023 but " Maui was burning". ( no idea why that was his excuse when he was going to be on the opposite side of the earth.) He had over a year to run the numbers and find out all the job entails. It feels like was talking about this since covid
