Adding insult to injury he didn’t even offer anyone eggs & bakie.
This sounds like one of those situations where it must be immensely tempting to provide the “you know, there are certain circumstances under which we find it nearly impossible to assure someone’s safety or successfully investigate any crimes that might be committed against them…” flavor of talking to; instead of or in addition to the “in some cases being an enormous asshole can carry legal penalties” one.
Tis the season. I’m more annoyed by these at SEVEN AM ON A WEEKEND: https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers-Gas-Leaf-Blowers/N-5yc1vZ2fkomhd
Arm those officers!!! /s
Don’t arm them, Leg them so they can kick this guys ass.
“The warning means the driver’s car can be seized if he gives residents further unwelcome wakeup calls in the next 12 months.”
So he’s limited to doing this once a year?
When someone goes this far out of their way to be such a total c***, they want to drive onto a street and find the residents awake, carrying baseball bats, and blocking both ends of the street. They have all these feelings – that everyone else manages to deal with – and they demand that the entire world reacts to them. They might get the punishment they demand, more often they don’t, but either way, the world will never, ever get as much from them as they take from it. Truly this guy is the worm in the apple of society.
somehow, i find this just harmless and hilarious. my hat’s off to you, odd gentleman.
It took courage to express what is probably an unpopular opinion here. I’d like to send you a bottle of your favourite beverage. Please PM me your address.
A hilarious joke leaves the target laughing as hard as anyone else. This is just mean.
*Exception: jokes played on terrible people who deserve to suffer, like Rudolph Giuliani.
i’ve been to too many burning man burns, i guess. this kind of humor is de rigeur there. last year there was a guy dressed as a rooster running through the neighborhood at dawn, yelling “COCK-A-DOODLE DOO, MOTHERFUCKERS! GET UP, GET UP!” this seems to be the same sort of thing to me.
People choose to attend Burning Man. Even there I imagine many people aren’t happy to be woken up at 4am just for the Lulz.
On MST3K one time, Mike Nelson listed history’s worst people. #3 was the guy who invented the leaf blower.
Christ, what an asshole arsehole.
If you offer eggs and bakie you better be prepared to deliver.
“There are still Toy Doll fans out there!”
You’d better believe it! Yay Olga!
