I seem to remember a paragraph somewhere in that heap of STDH where he out of nowhere writes that he's set all the alarms, has a go bag ready, and has his pistol at hand. There's nothing to set that up other than his wife called and he was worried she might come home early.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
A bunch of friends and I were carpooling back from a road trip on the long vacation weekend. We had stopped for snacks and I was needing some potassium because I was getting cramps in the car, so I bought a bunch of bananas. We were all texting back and forth between the cars and joking around, and I started throwing the banana peels out of the sunroof as a Mariokart joke. The guy in the rear car was 'swerving' to avoid them and pantomiming being all pissed off about it. We all were all laughing and getting a kick out of it.
For the last escalation of the joke, I threw two peels at once and he must have swerved a little too hard, because he went off the road and onto the soft shoulder and wiped his car out. Thankfully nobody was hurt but the alignment on his car is off now and everybody was pretty shook up. TIFU!

Not from any specific story. but it pisses me off the way that all the protagonists in STDH are "calm, polite, rational" etc.

I know it is done to make the antagonists seem like screaming irrational maniacs, but to me, (along with the horrible stilted dialogue), make them seem like emotionless robots.

CONCERT HALL | RI, USA | BAD BEHAVIOR, CRAZY REQUESTS, FAMILY & KIDS
(My younger sister and I are attending a concert given by a popular holiday rock band in a local city. Five minutes into the concert a woman and man come up to my sister and me.)

Woman: “You’re in our seats.”

Me: “How can that be possible? I had an usher show us to our seats.”

Woman: “I don’t care. You’re in our seats!” *she turns to the man she’s with* “Go get an usher so they can show these children to their proper seats!”

(A few moments later the man returns with an usher.)

Usher: “What seems to be the problem here?”

Woman: “These little girls are in our seats! I want you to escort them to their proper seats! I can believe you let unsupervised children into a concert!”

(Before the usher could say anything I interject.)

Me: “Ma’am, I am a student at a local college and therefore I am not a child. I am 23 years old and more than old enough to act as a legal guardian for my younger sister. I had an usher show my sister to our seats; therefore I do not believe that I am in your seat. I will, however, cooperate with the usher on this matter so we resolve it quickly and enjoy the rest of the show.”

(I hand my ticket to the usher and the woman reluctantly does the same.)

Usher: “Ma’am, these young women are in their proper seats. Your seats are on the other side of the entry way.” *she turns to my sister and me* “I apologize for the confusion and the trouble. Please enjoy the show!”

(When the couple and the usher walked away, the people around me gave me a small round of applause and a ‘you go girl!’)

Let's get back to everyone's fav topic : fat people.

https://danceswithfat.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/a-tale-of-two-cholesterol-tests/

quote:

Dances With Fat

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are Not Size Dependent

A Tale of Two Cholesterol Tests

Last Years Cholesterol Test:

Act 1:
Doctor:  Step on the scale.
Me:  Why?
Dr:  To get your weight
Me:  How is that relevant to a cholesterol test?
Dr:  If you’re overweight that can contribute to high cholesterol.
Me:  (laughing hysterically) IF I’m overweight?  Doesn’t this job require that you have decent eyesight?
Dr:  (not amused) Step on the scale.
Me:  No thank you.
Dr: Look…
Me:  Move on.

Act 2
Dr. Takes blood pressure (116/70)
Dr: Take 3 more times
Me:  My blood pressure is typically about 117/70, is there a problem?
Dr:  I doubt these results.
Me:  You took it 4 times, are you typically incompetent at this?
Dr:  Let’s move on.

Act 3:
Dr:  What drugs are you taking.
Me:  None
Dr:  You should consider a Statin Drug
Me:  Shouldn’t we take the test first?
Dr:  If you insist
Me:  In fact I do
Dr. does blood test
Results:  Chol 170 (goal is less than 200), HDL 49 (goal is more than 40), Triglycerides 119 (goal is less than 150)
Me:  According to this chart, my results are "Exceptional" even for a thin person, right?
Dr. I doubt these results.
Me:  I’m leaving now.

Paid over $200.00 for the experience (I’m self-insured)

This Year’s Cholesterol Test
Went to People’s Pharmacy in Austin, they are so completely awesome!!!!!!!!
Olivia greeted me pleasantly, did the test. 
Results:  Chol:  169, HDL 51, Triglycerides 118
Olivia:  This is exceptional, you are great!
Me:  Thank you so much for being so pleasant and not give me the "Hey, you’re fat speech" before you did the test.
Olivia:  People have done that?
Me:  Yup! Doctors.
Olivia:  They must have felt silly when they saw the results.
Me:  Nope, they doubted the results.
Olivia:  Huh?

Paid $35.00 for the experience.

The morals of the story:

People’s Pharmacy Rocks
I’m a morbidly obese (DEATH FAT!!!!) very fit professional athlete with a blood panel that is Exceptional!
I’ve only been to the doctor 5 times in the last 5 years (for routine physicals) so I guess my fat rear end isn’t too much of a DRAIN on the healthcare system
There are probably lots more like me

Oh hey, it wraps around to being thread-appropriate

quote:

(warning: this is serious poo poo) Months back my fiance was pulled over for speeding. This would not have been so bad if the officers weren’t so dead set on harassing her. I was in the car with her, witnessing the whole thing. They treated her with hostility and tried their hardest to find drugs on her. They said she had “dilated eyes.” She demanded they test her for drugs and they didn’t even bother (because that would have proved them wrong I guess.) I was getting scared because I had little reason to trust these small town cops. These people probably never see any action… they’re just bored and hoping to bust someone, anyone. She did have some prescription drugs for anxiety, which was clearly written right on the label… so what they did next was purely out of malice.
She taps me on the chest to say “would you look at this?” Four officers swarm around her and put her in cuffs saying “That’s assault! You hit her!” I’m standing there, completely baffled. She barely touched me and they are cuffing her and dragging her into a police car. I’m crying now, begging them not to take her away from me. She’s in a nervous panicked state because she has no idea what these cops will do to her. They set the bail absurdly high, which is a jerk thing to do at 1AM because it makes it nearly impossible to pay. After trying forever to get a bail bondsperson I finally find one and am able to pay 20% (yes, 20) to get her out. This takes nearly four hours. Four hours my sweetheart is locked up with no communication, no water, nothing. They’re calling her a “loving jew” and laughing at her. When she finally gets out she’s shaking, freaked, and her hair is falling out. I have to carry her out because she can barely stand. Like I said, she takes medication for anxiety and these officers just exacerbated it unnecessarily.
We have to get a lawyer and months later we finally get the charges against her dropped. This has still put a major dent in our wallets. We would love to sue, but with police in this state getting away with murder we don’t see how we could possibly win. Right now we’re just trying to save up so we can move away. These people did not do their jobs properly and caused my fiance too much stress. She would not leave the house for months. The site of a cop car gives her a panic attack. I love her and I want her to feel safe.

Don't you have to specifically tell police that you want to press charges for assault? Because I've seen people tell cops they don't want to press charges, and the police let them go. Also I don't think police can arbitrarily set bail limits themselves for the lulz of it, there's either a set designated amount for each crime, or a judge sets it personally. I don't think they can say "well smart rear end jew bitch, your bail is gonna be set at twenty MILLION dollars, HAHAHA!" :cop::hf::cop:

No. The police can decide they don't want to bother arresting someone if the victim doesn't want charges to be brought, but that is completely up to the officer. And neither the officer nor victim get to decide on filing charges anyway: that's the DA's job.

This is why cop cams are such a good idea. Sometimes the cops really do harass people, which is hosed up. Cams keep them honest.

On the other hand though, SO SO SO many people I've heard complain about how the cops "harassed them" were just ignoring what the cops said. People are lazy, ignorant, and arrogant. Cop tells them to do something, they start arguing. Don't even bother! The cop isn't the judge, the cop isn't the DA and the cop isn't your lawyer. You do whatever the cop says and then you loving go home. Sit down, shut up. Yeah you didn't have a gun or a knife on you but the cop didn't know that yet, you can't just go around acting however you loving want.

Every time I get my cholesterol measured, yeah, it takes a few days. Never mind that no doctor is going to waste his/her time doing grunt work like taking stats and writing them down, that's what the RN or NP does. Most places, you get attention from a nurse, and if you're lucky you might get five minutes with the doctor.

Pretty much this. When you hear someone say "I am/am not pressing charges," what they mean (without realizing it) is "I will/will not cooperate with the investigation." If a cop sees a crime in progress, s/he can request the DA to bring charges based on his/her own witness account even if the victim refuses to cooperate. It's just that victim assistance is usually the most helpful evidence for a DA that the cooperation or lack thereof usually influences the DA to bring or drop charges. If the crime is serious enough or falls under a certain category, some DAs will bring charges regardless of victim cooperation.

In response to the victim having to press charges I'm not a lawyer but I'm sure it's false. When I was in the army a guy in my squad got the police called for hitting his wife in a parking lot outside of a bar and they arrested him. When she went and wanted to get him out she said she wasn't going to press charges they told her that it didn't matter because the charges for the assault will actually come from the city. Not sure exactly how it all works or under what circumstances but that's just what I saw.

Assuming this is the US or another country under common law, then you're mixing up criminal and civil cases. A private citizen cannot press charges: only the state (usually in the form of a district attorney or US attorney) can do that.

But anyone can sue anyone else. They might get their case thrown out right away, but they can still file a lawsuit as they like.

We use a system called Cholestech at work for health screenings and get the results back in five minutes. It only does very specific things (total, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood glucose and total cholesterol/HDL ratio), but it's quick and accurate.

If it's a woman, her blood work isn't exceptional. Her HDLs should be above 50, not 40. 40 is for men. Triglycerides of 119 are kind of meh - decent but not enormously fantastic. If she's at 170 total, then her LDLs (which she didn't list) are going to be slightly above 100, which is borderline high. Diet and exercise would help the numbers improve!
