You guys crack me up.

So much time is spent worrying about other members because they are annoying, rude, or just plain assholes. Who cares? I don't understand the fascination with banning people and guessing who is who's sock.

Here's a fun little fact about the correlation between banning people and socks....If you don't ban people you have less socks. Sure maybe a real prick might have two socks: one for being serious and another for being a troll but who cares? How does that concern anyone here?

Ender: your wiki post about symptoms/behaviors of paranoid schizophrenia is a huge stretch. The only paranoid behaviors I see are some of the conspiracy theories on who is who or who has cancer and who doesn't. I've worked at a halfway house with mentally ill people for over 10 years and let me tell you guys, it takes way more than weird or foolish behavior on the internet to be mentally ill. People are strange, it doesn't mean there is a chemical imbalance involved.

Ignoring people is also such a strange idea to me. If you see someone's post and you aren't interested in reading the contents, skip it. However I'm all in favor of people with thin skin or short tempers to ignore people instead of calling for someone to be banned.

Obv troll is obv, just ignore them. :D

This. A thousand times this.

POTM.

I work as a cameraman in a local tv. My father happens to be the director. I only do this job cause I like the money, and I know that I know what I'm doing.

I only do city council broadcasts, mainly. The space in which we have to work is pretty small, and it's in common with what's reserved for the public. Usually few people show up to watch the council, so we have our space in which we can move freely and one or two chairs to put our bags and jackets.

Tonight was different. There were 83 points on the agenda (I kid you not). There obviously was not enough time to discuss them all (meeting was adjourned to monday, after 3 hours of hell), even accounting for the fact that we had to start 2 and a half hours earlier than usual.

So, we were pretty busy. The place was packed with people come to watch the council.

Now, as I understand it, common courtesy dictates that, if one desires to sit in a seat already occupied by other people's belongings, the least he could do is ask whomever it may concern.

Here comes this married couple, probably aided by the confusion around, sits right in the chairs where we had put our bag, my denim jacket and my scarf. They didn't move the objects, mind you, nor did they sit on top of them, they simply sat on the space not occupied by our belongings.

My father turns around, notices what's happened. He was already pissed off, because of other people crowding him earlier, but makes a polite remark about it. As for myself, I can't believe what happened, and speak to the lady, who tries to excuse herself by saying she didn't move our stuff, and whatnot. I ask her to give me my jacket, she just moves it to the next seat. Her husband gets up, trying to defend this utterly impolite behaviour (IMHO).

Well, I don't remember the exact words we used, up until this point: they get up to change seats, and the guy says, sounding disgusted:

Him - I guess chivalry is truly dead.

............... I simply could not contain myself. I just had to blurt out:

Me - Blow it out your ASS, if you don't mind.
