You do NOT bathe cats unless they have oil or gum in their fur. Bathing a cat is abuse

So then the automatic cat washing machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VfSl0iGAus, :nms: if you're one of those furbaby types) is right out, then?

I wonder what the brainstorming session was for the automatic cat bath, because that seems like the most unnecessary thing.

Yes, bathing cats is so much fun. People should stop deriving such sadistic pleasure from torturing defenseless kitties.

When my cat was tiny kitten he got poo poo on him self a couple times so I had to bath him. He eventually caught on and started cleaning himself. An adult cat should rarely need to be bathed.

If the cat gets something on its fur that would be hazardous for it to lick off you need to bathe it

Hockey has been a great source of schadenfreude lately.


The American olympic hockey team lost in the semi-finals against Canada,

This is noted douchebag Patrick Kane all sad about it.


Then today, America got their chance at the bronze medal in a game against Finland. In this game Kane got a chance for TWO penalty shots, which are basically a free 1v1 shot at the net, not a guaranteed goal, but really good chances.





He missed both.

This is Patrick Kane.


And this is his medal

Annoying "My kid sings along with the radio" video finally gets interesting.

This is from a while ago, but I my story is kinda relevant. I work in a call center and there was one time where I was talking to someone who was clearly on a cell phone driving and I heard them crash their car. Thankfully I guess it was a minor fender bender because there were no screams of agony and death. After the initial shock I had to try really hard not to laugh when the customer told me they had to go and would call back later.

As a sportsfan who lives near Chicago who doesn't give a poo poo about hockey, there is no end to my joy over this. Justin Beiber standing on the "Indian Head" painted on the floor in the Black Hawks locker room for a photo op triggered some kind of flashback to back when Chicago was relevant in sports, and they haven't shut the gently caress up about it for like a year.

In a similar vein, I had called one of our clients and she answered the phone whilst driving. I said I wasn't comfortable talking to her while she was driving but said it was ok. The next thing she said was that she was being pulled over by the police. From my end I heard;

*knock on window*

"Can you just pull the car over there and wind down your window please madam"

For some reason she kept me on the line whilst she was being talked to by the police. I hung up half way through. Later on she had the audacity to blame me for the fine she received for driving whilst on a mobile phone.

Doesn't matter. Using a phone while driving is dangerous and you shouldn't do it, even if it's hands-free. The main issue is the same either way, it's distracting and takes your attention away from actually driving.

I'm down with that brother
More than a few times working in a call center the question of "do you have a pen?" Was met with "not right now I'm driving." I worked at the tax office too so most of the time we'd be asking for details and figures.

There was one time I got halfway through a call before there was a loud bang, a "poo poo!" and an embarrassed "I'll have to call you back."

Any time you have a passenger in the car you should force them to stare straight ahead and never talk or move. Otherwise you might get distracted and crash!

Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
The best ones I ever got were:

1) Guy driving a tractor and trying to call about his DSL. I couldn't hear him over the engine, etc and I told him to call back later. He starts screaming at me and tells me just to SPEAK UP, GOD YOU DUMB BITCH. I was also worried about any poor bastards in that field anywhere near him.

2) Man driving a truck down the highway. He needs to reset his password or something. I tell him he needs to be near a computer to do so, blah blah, blah, etc. He responds with "Oh, I'll just pop open my laptop here... It'll be fine, I'm on the highway, it's open." And I felt a chill run down my spine. The vision of some dude barreling down a Texas highway with his laptop open. I expressed my concern, and he gave up because he couldn't get a wireless signal. Not because he could potentially kill or injure people, nope. No wireless.

3) Lady driving wants her transcript. She is gonna use her phone to reset the password! ... followed by a loud BANG and a cop siren. Oops.

A passenger is distracting but provides an extra set of eyes on the road. Seriously, no one needs this explained to them do they? The phone it self is distracting, not because your hands aren't at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. "Hands free" devices should carry the same fine imo.

Working at a call center for apple I had a guy call from his car. He couldn't even give me his phones serial number. Of course it was some how my fault he could't provide the most basic information to me. Also with apple you couldn't hang up on a customer regardless of what they said. Working for apple confirmed to me their products are worthless pieces of poo poo that are literally (not figuratively) designed to fail within two years.

If a dangerous situation develops, your passenger can stop talking and let you concentrate on driving. On a mobile phone, the person you’re talking to isn’t aware of the danger and will keep talking, further distracting you when your full concentration is needed.

Those cars with built in phones are road legal death traps, I can't believe a manufacturer like Mercedes would be irresponsible to put something like that in their cars.

For some distracted driving schadenfreude, there was a long distance bus driver a couple of years ago that barreled down the highway with a load of passengers while steering with his knees and doing his taxes with the help of his smartphone and the passengers weren't impressed. He lost his job very quickly.
