    I would have told that lady she could climb in the dumpster and get the water bottle out.
    Then she could could throw it back in there, that way we know for sure “I” wasn’t illegally dumping.

    I’ve had my run-ins with the trash police. And I’ve pressed my luck a few times.
    But I have never crawled into a dumpster, and I’m not going to.

    I can see how it may look suspicious if anyone (known or unknown) was taking photos of documents in a law office, but man did she overreact. o_O

    Neighbor lady of mine, great person, holds 4 world records in women's power-lifting and and even more US records in her age/weight class. Still looks very feminine and if you didn't know this you would never suspect. Her husband was helping me move 2 pretty heavy and awkward pieces of furniture and she offered to take one end so he and I could both carry it from the other side. We both declined swearing we'd blow out a testicle before handing it off to a woman but in reality we should have just left her carry the damned stuff. I would not want to make her angry.

    In retrospect whole situation could have been solved by just showing her the last text messages from your boss explicitly telling you to do what you were doing. Of course hindsight is always 20/20.

    Maybe it wouldn't have cost me my job, but it was different than if some random person had done that to me; I'm an embittered hothead at times, but I'm also more cognizant than people give me credit for.

    I told my boss and she actually apologized; I'm pretty sure a conversation took place about why it was a bad idea to grab Puck's one and only autistic barback in the way that she did.

    My boss, who I am still very close with and consider one of my best friends, is not autistic. However, she does not like just anybody touching her and sympathizes with me a lot in that respect.

    Exactly. We have the Olympic Training Center in our city (Colorado Springs), lots of military, MMA/BJJ/KM Gyms, etc. 99.8% of these ladies wouldn’t square off with anyone outside a ring (due to getting disqualified…etc), but for a guy to think they are doing the honorable thing by not fighting back are foolish.

    I have a friend going through some shit right now on this very topic. He put on a birthday party for his ex-wife (they have two kids) at a bar/grill. They were getting along and she wanted to get back together and he just wants to be friends due to the kids. She got a little pissed off at him and went out to her car, came back in with a rawhide dog bone (really big ones 18-24”) and started beating the shit out of him with it. He has it all on security camera footage. He was being the “nice guy” and took it but blocked off most of the hits. He still needed stitches on his head. He went to the bathroom and then she took his keys, stole his truck and keyed the shit out of it, went to his house and trashed it, and then came back to the bar. Well my friend had already left.

    Get this. In Colorado, most of the time whomever calls in a domestic dispute, the other is arrested. It’s law here. He had video proof, visual cuts and bruises (she had none), and they tossed his ass in jail for 3 days. She even admitted to hitting him with the rawhide and stealing his truck in the police report (that’s going to bite her in the ass in the end). Had this been myself in this situation I would have called immediately and have in the past.

    Then, two weeks later she had him arrested again for child abuse from spanking with a belt. Yes, it is illegal to spank a child in Colorado unless you use and open hand to the ass. I don’t necessarily agree with people using a belt, but whatever. This happened 16 months ago and the statute of time limitations is 18 months. In the past 16 months, he has cared for his two boys and…get this…the baby she had with another man after the divorce. If she really felt like the kids were in danger she wouldn’t have allowed their two boys be watched by him nor ask him to watch the baby. Now he has to fight this charge too and go to 5 weeks of parenting classes.

    I had a GF that thought she could sucker punch and fight me. I called the sheriffs and had her ass arrested. All her stuff/vehicle were parked at her place of employment when she got out. She wasted her call on me wanting me to bail her out. I laughed and hung up. I’m not going to put your ass in jail and then come bail you out. No lesson to be had there.

    My coworker had a very similar experience. His wife (now ex wife) was so drunk she fell down in a busy street and passed out. A bouncer and him picked her up by her arms/legs and carried her to the sidewalk. Alcoholics bruise easy, and when she came to in the morning she thought he kicked her ass. She called the cops, he explained what happened and he went to jail. He even had and sworn testimony from the bouncer that helped him. Only thing that saved him was she never came to court and it was dropped. That was 14 years ago, he has had full custody of his kids, raised them himself. She is almost 20k in the tears in child support. Think anything has been done to her? Nope.

    I just know way to many guys that get beat on physically, financially, legally. If I was in my 20’s today, there would be no way in hell I would walk down the isle and get married..ever. Modern women wonder why men won’t commit and get married…it’s shit like this^^^^.

    My latest impulse buy, and I'm gonna be playing it a lot because my dad tested positive for COVID; I have so far tested negative but I can't go to work for ten days due to company policy...

    Dude, way ahead of you there. The alternator is definitely shot; Pete just can't install the new one until tomorrow...

    I had a good friend who’s girlfriend beat the shit out of him with a toaster.
    I don’t condone violence towards anyone, but I’m sure the not going to stand there and let anyone (even a woman) beat me with a toaster. Not only that, once he left HIS house to get away from her, she destroyed his house. TV, lamps, dishes, pictures, clothes, shoes and all.

    The police took her to jail. And wouldn’t you know, he bailed her out the next morning.:rolleyes:
    I mean the guy had basically no family, and had just been diagnosed with cancer.
    He later told me he bailed her out because he “Loved her and didn’t want to be alone”.
    Well, he finally died. But I’ll give the girl credit. She was right there by his side until his last breather. But damn.

    Okay, I'm pissed; I preordered this game almost a week ago so that it would arrive at my house on release day (August 23rd). It's the "Day One Edition", so it's supposed to come with some exclusive content, which I downloaded. The game will make it to 1.885 GB and then an error message will come on; I did some research and found that a lot of people are having issues with the disc-based version of the game and DLC.

    I paid another $60 (plus tax) to download the game on the PlayStation Store, and it is working great...

    DAFE9613-6D22-4DE2-AE8E-9C551FD84BFA.jpg

    I would normally return the game and get a refund, but I'm gonna hand it off to my friend Mike and let him try it in his PS4...

    The myth is that it's only the men abusing the women. Last girl I dated never hit me, but there were times when I was afraid she was. I smacked her on the ass a few times as a gesture of affection, and she liked it, but I am really old school when it comes to not laying hands on a woman...
