Yeah, and when you're THAT loving destitute that you break down over groceries, it's not $300 of groceries that you "need today", it's more like $20 worth of carefully planned cheap stuff meant top last an entire week. Hell, even $10 can be an enormous splurge on groceries meant to last just a single day until whatever with the card is sorted out

Get ready for teh wacky laughz0r!

quote:

I posted a comment about my New Years Eve and some people wanted the whole story so here goes. This is just a random pic I found online, not the actual guy in the story.

So, last night, I was hanging out with my brothers and we decided to order some pizza. It took forever for it to get here because it was so busy for them, which was cool with us cause we knew they were going to be busy.

The delivery guy showed up (around 10:30) and seemed a little weird right off the bat. He asked if he could come inside so we let him. It was about 10 degrees out last night, so, I figured he just didn't want to freeze.

While he was inside, he asked some questions about the house. (How many square feet, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, if I had a dog)
I do have a dog but she is old and deaf. Even though it was weird, I answered his questions. I paid him and tipped him generously because I felt bad for him having to work on New Years Eve and I figured he was just a little mentally challenged.

About 10 minutes later, he came back and tried to give me some of the tip back because he thought I gave him too much. I let him know that I didn't give him too much and told him Happy New Year and he left again.

Well, I ate some pizza and drank some more beer. I was so tired from working (We just moved into a new office so I was moving office furniture up and down stairs all day to make sure that we are all ready to go at the start of next week.) and full of pizza and beer.

I said goodnight to my imgur friend and my brothers and fell asleep on the couch. It was probably about 11:15 or so when I fell asleep. (Yeah, I didn't even make it till 12)

Around 1, I woke up because I thought I heard something. I sleep pretty lightly. I opened the front door to see what the hell was going on and saw the pizza delivery guy's car there again. I stepped outside to try and figure out the situation and the mother fuckin pizza guy walked around the corner and pointed a gun at me. He told me to go inside and said he knew that I had money because he'd seen my money when I tipped him. I literally said "What the gently caress?" He told me to bring him inside and get my wallet. I was semi-drunk and half-asleep, so, without thinking, I jumped down the 3-step landing and superman punched the guy right in the face.

It knocked the guy out immediately. I called the police right away. While waiting for the police, I noticed my hand hurt so bad. The cops showed up pretty quick, along with an ambulance and a firetruck. Not quite sure why they showed up too, but I'm glad they did. Turns out my hand is broken as well as a few fingers.

I talked to the police for about 2 hours. Filled out a poo poo ton of paper work and went back inside. I locked the doors and went to bed. My good ol' dog was still sound asleep.

What a great start to the new year! Actually, I find it quite hilarious. Happy New Year to all you glorious people.

TL;DR - Ordered pizza, pizza guy came back hours later to rob me, knocked him out, broke my hand, Happy New Year.

Australia has a problem with drunken louts with tiny penises who think that they need to prove their masculinity by walking up behind someone and either smashing them over the head with a beer class, or punching the gently caress out of their neck. It usually results in the victim dying or being quadriplegic and has gotten people pissed off to the point that the criminal penalties are being upped and the media has cooperated in renaming the attack from "king hit" to "coward punch".

I think it's important to teach your boy to respect women and proper table manners. It isn't good when you do it because of your emotional baggage.

Ehhh, having had an experience of being emotionally or physically abused by a man would probably motivate a lot of women to teach their sons to respect women from a young age and that seems more than reasonable. It's still creepy going on "dates" with your son though (whether or not it happened).

It'd be fun to know if he has access to that money at any other point. Even aside from getting trips to the store and whatnot, there's the fact that schools (at least around here) have gone nuts with nickel and diming the kids. Stuff like a cookie at lunch for an extra dollar, ice cream for like 3 bucks on whatever day of the week (complete with big signs advertising it at the dropoff areas), fancy pencils for 50c, etc.

The real value would be teaching the kid to resist blowing it on all that crap when he has the money burning a hole in his pocket, but something tells me the big boy money only comes out on their dates, and maybe a dollar when they go out for planned grocery trips

Paying for dinner doesn't preclude being an abuser. In fact, it could make him feel like he is "owed" something because he spent money on dinner by his date. You could just work on teaching the child to have healthy interactions with children his age, but that seems too easy and not as shareable on Facebook.

Aside from the details, is it really that weird that a child would "buy" his mom dinner? I did it as a birthday present for my mom at that age, not knowing that she was actually taking the brunt of the cost or ignoring that the money was technically from her and the family. It's something nice and makes you feel more "grown-up", or at least that was my intention. That said, once a month at restaurant was too rich for my childhood blood.

No, as with a lot of things, I think the part that gets it put in this thread isn't that it is unbelievable, but more that it is really annoying to take some simple and probably common thing and turn it into whatever that stupid wall of text is next to the picture.
