The above post is so wrong surely having a wank in public in a cinema is much more of a crime than texting.

Depends on how annoying the text message tone is.

And how quiet the wanking is.


Look, if you're 77 years old and you ejaculate on some annoying douche in a movie theatre, society is going to love you; it's about the opposite of shooting them with a gun. Mostly harmless, but they'll learn a lesson: Old people will do crazy shit, so leave them the fuck alone.

Happily taking a sip of fresh water with ice and the ice cubes decide to change their positions dramatically causing a bunch of water to spill down the front of my shirt. Damn you, ice cubes!

I was going to make a Pee Wee Herman joke with the jizzing in a movie theater thing, but I couldn't really put one together so I'll just post about the fact that this reminded me of Pee Wee Herman and be done with it.

So I may have mentioned I have a tooth that's basically crumbling apart inside my mouth over time. If I haven't, well then I have this tooth that's basically crumbling apart inside my mouth over time. It's a wisdom tooth, and it didn't really bother me too much until a couple months ago. Well, my plan was to get it pulled after the new year because I'd get my VA money ...

Yeah, well then the truck needed fixed so there went that money, or at least most of it. So now I have to suffer with this tooth that hurts, I'm talking excruciating pain (and this is coming from someone who went through two drug-free childbirths) and it sometimes gets so bad that it wakes me in the middle of the night. So now I'm popping Advil like candy, which is bad, so I'm trying to limit that but it's either live in excruciating pain or pop pills like crazy.

So glad that I have medical care through the VA that doesn't include dental or vision, which are the only two aspects of my health that really need coverage.

In short: owie.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

My brother ordered me a shirt for Christmas, and from what he showed me, it's pretty nice. The only bad part about it is that it was delivered to the house across the street, since apparently the package was mislabeled. We checked the tracking information and the order confirmation, and our correct address is on it. I asked the guys across the street, since I saw one of them wearing said shirt, if they had received it by mistake, which they admit to, but they said legally it's theirs since it was delivered to their house.

I know that's a load of bullshit, but is there anything I can do about this? I know Canada Post kind of sucks, but seeing a welfare-case family (which they are, literally, we received some of their mail initially and gave it to them) taking what was meant to be a gift to me, and telling me that I'm S.O.L. because it was delivered to them kind of pisses me off.

If it wasn't for the assholishness I would say let it slide given their situation and be the better person - though you likely don't have much of a case. Even though you can prove the item was supposed to be shipped to you, I don't think you can actually prove said shit was the intended item and even if you could... well it seems like a whole lot of legal crap over a shirt, which the cops will tell you to suck it up anyway more than likely.

Sucks ass but hey, they probably have it worse off than you so... I don't want to say take solice in that, as that implies a bit of schadenfreude, but rather just let it go and tell your bro to double-check next time :/

To shed some light on their situation, the majority of them are pretty overweight, and sit outside drinking and smoking all day. If they've looked for a job in the past year, I haven't been around to see it.

I just want my Mario shirt back, not to commit a murder. D:

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Damn, that's a pretty boss shirt too.

But yeah seriously sounds like a bunch of dregs. It's one thing to be on welfare and actively seeking work/education/whatever (something I'm starting to really consider as I've had horrid luck with anything for entirely too long now, just my pride said no) but on the rare case (and it is rare) where you got a bunch of good-for-nothing leeches who won't even try... nah, F 'em. Drain on society's resources *and* moral standards.

Mail Fraud and Theft are crimes you can't prosecute for in Canada? Damn.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I would be willing to bet a whole heap of cash that they haven't thrown out the box that it was delivered in, which has your name and address on it, and not theirs. I'm not sure how Canada works, but opening mail intended for someone else is a federal offense here, so it might be worth getting someone to look into, even if all you get is your shirt back.

Then kill them.

In the UK :- Under the Postal Services Act 2000, it is an offence intentionally to open or delay a postal packet. Interfering with someone else’s package may also constitute the tort of conversion or trespass to goods.
