I found — well, bit into — a piece of plastic inmy pre-made sandiwch today.
Am I going to be rich, or does it need to be a mouse or child's thumb or something before I can throw sueballs?
- Mouse or razor blade.monospaced
- Damnit, I knew it. I'm ging to write to them anyway - maybe I can get a free sandwich from it. :(detritus
- Back in my super poor art school days, I got a hot pocket and the heating sleeve was missing. I called to report it and received weeks of free product coupons!monospaced
- Mouse or skatnotype
- Write a letter. If you don't get free stuff and a fawning apology I'll buy you a sarnie.MrT
- Write to your local newspaper. We demand a picture of you holding said sandwich up, with you looking glum.face_melter
- it's called packaging, you have to remove it before you can eat the sandwichuan

1. people who accidently turn on this bullshit in outlook: https://tinyurl.com/…

4. all other problems are related to loose cablesdrgs - let me google that for you: how do I google somethingsarahfailin

I make one simple change to my resume on LinkedIn and I've gotten 8 calls in less than an hour.
5 calls from California. 1 from Michigan. 1 from New Jersey.
Assholes, I'm in Illinois.
I know these are for jobs out of state as the call is immediately followed by an email with a job offer in Irving TX or some other suck-me-sideways State.
- detritus1
Any reason I shouldn't nix my LinkedIn account? It's fuck all use to me and I've just logged in for the first time in years.
- Ah! I forgotten that I'd read kona's post above last night and thought about killing it!detritus
- Fuckit, killedit.detritus
- same here, i dont know why i keep it...Bennn
- I'd use it if it weren't so aggressive. I'm not on facebook and it's potentially useful way to keep in contact with clients, leads, folk you'd like to work witFax_Benson

You buying a gun, set?

- re: your previous postdetritus
- Yea I got that, I'm just not smart enough to know how you figured out that was gun relatedset
- Ah ok you can get a preview of the svg when viewing the code in an html doc. Took me a second. I'm such a code newbieset
- or you can just copy'pasta and save as an SVG. I was actualyl surprised I couldn't just copy and paste directly into Illy, which is where I assume it came from?detritus
- It did. I tried that and didn't work so I was simultaneously confused and impressed.... for about 2 minutesset
- Not buying a gun, just my work for today :)set

He's gone bald, like his real father!
Harry should be ok though
- Harry is 100% Hewitt and he must know it.fadein11
- Baldness is inherited only from the mother’s side. That resemblance is uncanny though. :)monospaced
- 2 seconds googling suggests otherwise mono, but I'm not making a case for these twits. Who knows. The resemblances are indeed fucking uncanny though...set
- You're right. It's primarily through maternal line, but not exclusively. I didn't even know who this Hewitt guy was until I Googled it.monospaced
- ~50% Hewitt, surely?detritus
- I once had a loud argument(-ish) in Gatwick airport with my StepMum about Harry and Hewitt. I can't get my head around people who deny the chance at least...detritus

Been home sick all week, brutal sinus and ear infection, constant disgusting congestion. On antibiotics now, stuff is starting to drain more rapidly now and that’s always when it really starts to hurt.
I’ve been dying for a week to myself to work on personal projects, do some reading, etc. but all I’ve managed to do all week is lay on the couch, watch movies, and take naps. Sleeping horribly at night because I need to sleep on my back and I can’t sleep well like that.
So far this week I’ve watched:
- some of Mr Robot season 2 (I’ve lost interest. Show has no characters I care about)
- Brawl In Cell Block 99
- Shot Caller
- ‘71
- Room
- Jaws 3
- Bad News Bears
- Current season of Million Dollar Listing LA
- tons of episodes of The Carbenaro Effect and Impractical JokersI am dying to feel normal again. Next step is sinus surgery. I can’t take this anymore.
- And... I’ve had no voice since last Sunday from coughing so much.mg33
- Bad News Bears, ftw. the original?Gnash
- Brawl and Shotcaller. 2 wonderful underrated films from last year.DRIFTMONKEY
- Yep, original BNB. So much inappropriate stuff in that movie.mg33
- Shot Caller and Brawl were great. I gotta find something to watch today. Considering starting Homeland season 5mg33
- Also watched the Bowie doc on HBO, and the Amy Winehouse documentary.mg33
- the end of the fucking world was pretty great. it's basically a 2 hour movie they divided into 8 episodes.lvl_13
- also the marvelous mr.s maze (on amazon) is pretty great. supposedly based on Joan rivers life. pretty funny.lvl_13
- *Mazel

Popped out to the shops the other evening to pick up something or other that I needed in order to make dinner. 5 min walk. On the way back, about 8 to 10 doors down from our place, I hear a window open quickly. I looked up to see some grubby curtains pulled back and a guy throws a packet of jaffa cakes at me, landing on the pavement at my feet. The window snaps shut and the curtains are drawn before I can look up again.
There are 3 jaffa cakes left in the packet and the orange cellophane wrapper is neatly twisted off at the top, so as not to let them go stale.
- Free Jaffa cakes. Nice.monospaced

Went to the march in NY today.
It was fkn' amazing! Now to watch some Black Mirror :)- Next week is gonna be a good week, lots of women got complaining out of their system...robotron3k

- Can you at least pretend not to resent women, robo?monospaced
- Yeah robo, you may be able to avoid your mother chewing you out for not tidying your room.face_melter
- pics or it never happenedsince1979
- Meh, I'm just not into the latest women fads...robotron3k
- That’s because you resent women, outwardly and openly declare them inferior, and are threatened whenever they speak.monospaced
- Not to mention that your support for the idiot president has blinded you from the true meaning of the global marches yesterday. Pathetic.monospaced

OK...here's one for you all. My son was due to go to a school friend's place just to hang out. He hadn't been there before. So he gives my son (who is 13) the address...my wife decides to drive him. They rock up to the house...son walks to the front door and rings the bell. A complete stranger (quite dodgy looking) answers the door and says the friend doesn't live there. Person gets a bit pissed and thinks my son is pranking so he runs back to the car.
Wife is fuming. Texts the friend who says it was all a joke and the real address is about 12mins drive away. The kid doesn't even bother to apologise.
They turn around and come home...the wife says never to associate with this kid ever again.
My thinking is the wife is half right...no going to his place in future unless he apologises profusely. Can continue to talk to this kid at school, but I said a real friend wouldn't do something like that. The address he sent him to was pretty dodgy and if he was making his own way there on public transport, it would have been at least 30+ mins out of the way.
Thoughts?
- he put your son in danger. that's the only way to look at it. he doesn't get a pass.Gnash
- invite him over, chain him in the basement,
1 hour later be like, “Yo dawg i heard you like pranks”GuyFawkes - that kid has no respect, i wouldn’t want mine picking up that shit, cut that kid off.GuyFawkes
- Teenagers are retarded. They can't help it. I would tell your son to never trust this kid.eryx
- Teach that kid a lesson!! Car battery and couple wires!!HueyGnash
- ^mepango
- This situation justifies the use of Swatting.ok_not_ok
- Wife's right. Bad judgement by the whole means the rest of his life will be like that. Run!Hayoth
- That kid is reckless. If ur son hangs w/him, he could get caught up shoplifting or getting hurt doing something stupid. Don't need no Darwin Awards friends.shellie
- ^this.
The kid has zero respect for your wife and son. Encourage him to find other friendsfuturefood - The little turd still hasn't apologised...or even acknowledged it was a dumb thing to do.BusterBoy
- Not funny. I would def talk to that kids’ parents.. and kick my son’s ass if I see him hanging around that kid.maquito
- Throw turd at that kids house!pango
- Think your all being a bit harsh. I have two teens (13and15). From my experience they NEVER consider the consequences of their actions. It's a teen thing. As..Morning_star
- ...adults, planning always includes the potential consequences as we've learned that we're likely to have to 'clean up the mess' if we don't. I'm pretty...Morning_star
- ...the potential dangers of sending him the wrong house never crossed his mind. Reflecting on this as an adult is quite different to that of a teen. Why not...Morning_star
- ...get your son to invite the lad around to hang out and then you can get a more measured assessment. Hope it all works out,Morning_star
- *(I'm pretty..) sure thatMorning_star
- This is a form of bullying. It's okay to fuck up (kids are stupid) but the kid didn't apologies which means he lacks morals.
In the age of failing morals -mugwart - we have to install them into our children.
Your kid could have had the worst things done to him.
Your wife has a valid point. Just a shame it has to be extrememugwart - If we are not careful, children are going to become Next Gen Uber Snowflakes. Safe space anyone?Morning_star
- and morning_star blurts an irrelevant retarded response.fadein11
- Thanks for that illuminating isight fadein11. Maybe, you'd like to contribute? or explain why it's 'retarded'?Morning_star
- because this has fuck all to do with snowflakes. the concern is 100% valid, are you a parent?fadein11
- safe space / snowflakes lol, what the fuck are you on about?fadein11
- If you'd taken the time to go back 5 side posts you would have seen exactly my contribution and opinion. And yes, i believe as parents we are being over..Morning_star
- ...protective. Which is the likely cause of the current crisis in universities and the inability of young adults to' grow a set'.Morning_star
- whats retarded is thinking it's fucking okay that a 13yr old knocking on stranger's door is an all right prank to playBluejam
- lost me at safe space / snwoflakesfadein11
- Do you have kids?Morning_star
- yes 2. why?fadein11
- show the friend a pic of the guy who answered the door and say he's looking for the friend for disturbing him https://tinyurl.com/…_niko
- @fadein11. Which is better? Teaching your kids to recognise and deal with potentially dangerous situations when you're not there. Or, Coddling them until...Morning_star
- ...they're 25 and afraid to do anything without the safety of a parent.Morning_star
- How would what is being discussed here possibly going to create a 25 year old afraid to do anything. You are going off topic a little I think. Of course it'sfadein11
- about balance but this wasn't acceptable in my opinion.fadein11
- is*fadein11
- and relating to snowflakes and safe spaces was a bit daft.fadein11
- No, it's where over-protective parenting takes us and the reason why i said "if we're not careful..." The alternative solution I gave was also a potential way..Morning_star
- Shellie fucking NAILED It. end of story as far as I'm concerned. my old man once told me 'you'll go as far as the crowd does'...if they're going down the wrongexador1
- ...to kill two birds with ones stone. Reacting as though the kid was given clown lessons with John Wayne Gacey is an over reaction IMO.Morning_star
- path, you'll go with them....and he was absolutely right. some of the friends I had when i was about that age were up to no good and my old man saw that plainexador1
- as day... I took his advice and started mainly hanging out with my pals that were doing well in school and were motivated, and all of us have done well in life.exador1
- the others?...ALL of them ended up dead or in jail or having rough lives etc.... giving the wrong address as a joke?....that's either bullying or stupidity..exador1
- my kids (14 and 11) would NEVER do something like that...so I would tell my kid to keep the FUCK away from that one...
that kid is BAD news for sure...exador1 - yupfadein11
- Was it bill who answer the door?
https://i.makeagif.c…pango - Judge, Jury and Executioner. I'm surprised you have so little faith in your children that you think they will be coerced by the 'Evil prank boy'. Maybe you...Morning_star
- ..should trust them a little more to do the right thing by showing other kids the potential dangers of ill considered pranks. That lad may have been the...Morning_star
- ...greatest friend your son ever had.Morning_star
- A life was put into potential jeopardy. The key to this is how the kid reacted. If he was extremely apologetic then fine. We also have to teach our kids aboutmugwart
- narcissistic and psychopaths. I was terribly bullied as a kid. If mum had allowed this then the boy knew that this was the level he could base off.mugwart
- Your life and your kids lives are put in jeopardy thousands of times every single day. Maybe the lad didn'y apologies because he didn't know that's what was...Morning_star
- ...expected, maybe he thought the prank just wasn't as serious as others thought, maybe he's just a kid and you should cut him some slack. He may have parents..Morning_star
- ...that aren't as loving and family orientated as your perfect family units. Maybe the lad is just an idiot.Morning_star
- I get over protecting is bad but also not parenting is bad. The key here was how the kid responded, which was not giving a fuck.mugwart
- I still vote throw turd at that kid.pango
- roll a joint give it to your kid. tell your kid to tell his friend that he got the joint at this address. and that the guy is waiting for this kids turn to go.oey
- I'm with Pango!mugwart
- Another turd vote. Make sure your kid understands the other kid is a cunt.garbage
- The only resolution is a flaming bag of dog poop on that kids doorstep.kona
- If you think the best example to your kid is to judge 'Prank Boy' so negatively that you have to forbid them from being friends then good luck to you. I just...Morning_star
- ...hope this doesn't come back to bite you in the ass when you're not there to control the situation at school.Morning_star
- Your son is going to feel like a prick. He'll need a bit reassurance, but let him fight that battle himself and rise above it.monoboy
- To be fair, a bit different to the UK as nobody has military grade weapons at home.monoboy
- was it morning_stars kid?GuyFawkes
- Nope.Morning_star
- ^ LOL at actually answering an obvious joke.garbage
- mornings a good sport :)GuyFawkes
- OK...some balance here. I give my son plenty of slack. He does lots of things with his other mates...if they go somewhere, he always lets me know.BusterBoy
- He learns how to look after himself. So spare me the "snowflake" rubbish. This new kid doesn't have many friends at school. Most of the kids at school think...BusterBoy
- ...he's a bit daft and a pain in the ass. My son is a great kid and thought he'd make an effort & hang out with this kid. And THIS is how he is treated.BusterBoy
- Fuck that. My boy told him it wasn't cool...and NOTHING. He still hasn't even bothered with contacting him to see if something was up.BusterBoy
- We all agree this kid can get fucked. My son is free to talk to him at school if he wants...but nothing more until this kid apologises.BusterBoy
- It's not my job to educate this kid. I don't know this kid or his parents from a bar of soap so until he makes reparations...nada.BusterBoy
- I think you're right, and I'm sure your kid is smart enough to realize the other kid is a twat, but maybe drive the point home.garbage
