If you have to waterdown a Mike's with grape or cran because, and I'm assuming this was the problem, it's too sweet and cran is tart. GET A FUCKING PROPER COCKTAIL.

Pssshsh

I do what I want!!

But yes, I should be spending my money on better drinks.

Next week I'll have a good chunk of disposable cash and I'll be hitting up some bars in Downtown Greenville.

On another note: it's been two months since I last boned. It's times like these I wish I was bi so I could have more options. Maybe if I got wasted enough... oh no that's just asking for trouble.

Man i'm sorry Eschaton, we all love our animals just know there are plenty more to give that love too.

Our lovely quiet korean neighbors moved out a few weeks ago only to be replaced by a very large (5+ people in a 2 bedroom) and noisy household full of rude african americans. I'm not saying it's because of race, but stereotypes are created for a reason. The sound from their tv's and music is just constantly BASS bass BaSs

4am bass BAss BASS... I'm going mad so I take a nap cause I got a shitty night of sleep bass bass bass. The other tenements of this building are all super quiet christian asian's so I'm sure a few days worth of fish bone soup will get them to think twice about living here. If not for the taste they won't be able to get rid of the smell. OMG the amount of pot being blazed up too. I don't think I'll pass a drug screening now. Hopefully they quiet down after they get settled in, cause if they don't they won't be my neighbors for very long. I've already started documenting all of the annoyances.

Does documenting actually do something? Have you reported neighbors before, and actually had results?

Probably the best thing you can point out to the landlord is that they've got 5 people living in a 2BR.

There are strict rules cause this property is both public housing and regular apartments. So yes documenting a nuisance will set up a timeline in which the landlord can go back and see when issues started. I'm sure that the fact there are more people living there than there should be might also help. But like I said I'm willing to give it a few days so they settle in and figure out how we do things around these parts.

And yes we were able to prove that neighbors near us were dealing in hard drugs and got them kicked out but not before they were visited by the local sheriff. That was a few years ago though and since then we've had these great neighbors that care about our building.

It's 1:35AM; my sister called me an hour ago to tell me that my bank called her to confirm some credit card purchases, and that I needed to call them immediately. I've never had one of these calls before, so I'm kind of freaking out, picturing some jerk buying a 60" TV at Walmart and throwing it on my card. GAH!

As it turns out, my minor spending spree on iTunes today and yesterday triggered something for them. Everything's good.

I'll be getting up early to help my kids get ready for school. This is not the way I wanted to go to sleep on Sunday night.

I gotta admit I'm happy they are making certain no-one's raiding my account, and happy that it was a false alarm.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #20364 on:** October 20, 2013, 01:24:40 PM »

Yeah low value Internet purchases will often trigger that. At least you didn't use your card somewhere while it was frozen and get it rejected.

I agree it's nice and works in practice as long as the damn bank/card company catches it. I don't know why Chase didn't catch 6k worth of purchases last weekend from all over the damn world. You'd think that it would be impossible for me to be in Spain and purchase something at Walmart in Alaska... I'm glad it wasn't fraud in your case. I'm having to wait 6-8 weeks to get all of my money back which is so fucking unacceptable. I couldn't even get some gas yesterday.

She just turned 12, and she has an absurdly large tumor. However, thats about as long as you can expect a shep to live, and she's had a good life. Me and the fam have been watching her progress over the past couple months and well... She has lost most of her motility.

Right, because people are more likely to accommodate you if you're a jerk? Kosmalogic™.

Are you from this planet bro? Of course this is how it works in some cases. Some people only do what you want if you talk to them in a certain way.

You don't have to be a jerk, but sometimes it's good to act tough.

If you want to be effective you choose how to communicate depending on who you are talking to in certain situations.

Mupepe · « **Reply #20388 on:** October 24, 2013, 10:09:24 AM »

Nah, I'm with Biz. Being polite is always the way to go unless someone starts shit with you. I don't think there's ever an excuse for preemptively being a tough guy or asshole.

Being polite doesn't mean you let someone talk to you like a bitch. It means you treat everyone equally with a bit of respect assuming they haven't proven they don't deserve your respect. You can still put on an aura of confidence and authority while still being polite.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #20389 on:** October 24, 2013, 10:14:55 AM »

Well I do think that my idea of being a jerk and a tough guy is a bit weak maybe yes.

I got to feel like a tough guy on Saturday. I was sitting at a stop light near my house and I saw a middle aged man and woman arguing across the street on the corner. When the light turned green and I went to turn I saw him start pushing her and he pushed her down. So I went across the street and got out of my car and just yelled "Hey! What are you pushing her for?" He turned his attention toward me and yelled "Mind your own fucking business!" and she bolted. I told him I saw him pushing a woman around so I'm going to stop. Then he starts telling me they've been married for 22 years and I wasn't there when the fight started. He was drunk as shit. And then he says "This is what happened..." I just told him I wasn't looking to solve their problems or get involved, I saw a woman getting pushed around and just stopped. He calmed down and started telling me that I did the right thing and he appreciated it. And then he kept shaking my hand. I was like WTF. I just said if they're gonna fight and push each other around and they don't want anyone getting involved to do it in private. People are fucking nuts. I wasn't looking for a fight. I just wanted to distract him long enough for her to get away. It seemed like she had been trying to walk away anyways.

I can be an angry drunk, it's a big reason I don't get drunk anymore. Couple cocktails, some wine, I'm okay and I still do that. Too much and I might not be. Must be the Irish and/or Cherokee in me. Or the alcoholic parents. I have a limit and I've learned to respect it and not come close to it. I'd much rather smoke pot which doesn't make me mean or angry or give me hang overs. It's not like I've ever hurt anyone (barring one guy in a bar who instigated it) but I've put a hole or two in dry wall I'm not proud of, so I don't put myself in that situation anymore.

Shadow Mod · « **Reply #20393 on:** October 24, 2013, 07:47:48 PM »

I'll sound pissed when real drunk but I'm never an angry drunk. I just sound mad but I'll be saying something like "I LOVE FUCKING BISCUITS."

I was polite enough to one of my classmates until I caught him copy/pasting code from the internet and turning it in the next week to get an A on the assignment. He had the gall to turn to me ten minutes after I saw him cheating, and ask me if I had finished the homework yet, and why I hadn't "it's so easy!"

I've always been courteous with the police.

Not random traffic stop where they TOSS the car expecting to find something? Courteous, so much so to the point them being very surprised. No ticket.

Face down in a pool of Mountain Dew at gunpoint? Courteous. I even said "Don't taze me bro, I got the dew all over me!" and they laughed. Not detained.

In the words of Patrick Swayze, the Cooler of Heaven, just be nice.
