What pissed you off today?

[smallgirl]

At the request of some friends...


Go ahead...tell us what pissed you off...

my hubby calling me every hour on the hour.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

my hubby calling me every hour on the hour.

I knew a woman in Florida whose husband was convicted of DUI manslaughter, four counts, and got sentenced to 15 years in prison. He used to call her every year on their anniversary from prison - even 8 years after she had divorced him.

ETA: Even after she remarried and she and her new husband had their number changed three times and unlisted, he somehow got the number in time for their anniversary.

 

[graceanne]

My baby fell down from the bed right on her head and got a BIG bulge on her head now. I've spent 4 hours in a Hospital with her, doing all kinds of exams if she's alright.

She got hurt while I was busy with the fucking moving, pissed me off yes. I need 4 eyes and 10 hands. sigh

Yikes. *hugs* I think this happens to every mom, but it doesn't make you feel any better about it.

Freaky. What happened after he got out of jail?

Thank you, huggs deffo needed today. My head hurts like hell, but thank God my baby is alright. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her because of me. The docs let us go back home, but said I must watch her tonight and wake her up every two hours, cuz they wasn't sure if she doesn't have a concussion of the brain.

Well I hope she doesn't, she looks okay and sleeping peaceful now, but you never know. I'll be more peaceful tomorrow afternoon!


*huggs back*

Aw, I know this is the worst feeling. She's fine though. They're just being cautious.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

Freaky. What happened after he got out of jail?

I dunno. I left Florida in '02; he wasn't scheduled to get out until, I think, '07. I never read any news stories from there about an (or that particular) ex-husband stalking/killing/etc. his ex-wife, though, so I don't think *that* happened.

 

[Homburg]

My day has been utter shit. Complete and utter shit. The few moments of bright are buried behinds mounds and mounds of vicious dung from being woken up three hours early after four hours sleep and stretching through to now.

Fuck me...

"It's not every day the cops call your girlfriend a whore."

~Master on the phone with the precinct, talking about me.

it was a *fun* day

 

[Homburg]

I'd like to

This made me smile. Thank you.

Hell that's shocking.

You guys alright I hope

 

[intothewoods]

Yeah, I am also wondering what the story is there!

 

[Homburg]

It's not as titillating as it sounds. A non-uniformed detective had a distinct lack of tact in handling a situation that was only questionable to a stupendously suspicious mind.

Apparently a young woman standing on the sidewalk of a major thoroughfare at two in the afternoon waiting to pick a kid up off the school bus is sufficient cause for a police officer around here to think she's a prostitute. He wasn't hostile about it, but the presumption pisses me off.

And apparently prostitution is on the rise hereabouts. Yay. This is why said officer was so sensitive, as they'd just had a crackdown. So the street two of my kids' bus stop is on happens to be a known avenue for vice. Super. It explains why she gets honked at and propositioned when she is waiting on the kids.

The whole thing has me sick to my stomach and wondering what the fuck is happening to the neighbourhood.


Note: She was dressed in a normal tank top, jean shorts that were not short at all, and sandals, and had a jacket on. No hooker boots, no mini-skirt, etc. Dressed like a typical college student basically. Yes, I know, real whores don't always dress like that, but, damn, she is a normal woman waiting at a bus stop for her godchildren. Where the fuck does the presumption of prostitution come from? A woman can't stand on the fucking sidewalk?

Wow. I'm literally speechless. I hope, and am sure, you ripped someone a new asshole.

Did they try to arrest her or something then?

 

[PertPerth]

My fucking shit of a supervisor said I have "cold eyes". Prick.
And, of course, being the polite female I am (in the work place) I just sat there and smiled, not even a bat of my eye lashes.
Ugh. I hate my work culture sometimes. Really shits me.

Well it could be worse I was in a TV commerical and the client complained that I have bedroom eyes. The commerical wanted zany eyes, talk about hard work.

Hold your breath for twenty seconds, you eyes will pop out. But it's humiliating. Especially when they look you up and down for about a minute and undress you in their mind. Thank goodness I live in Bible Belt Country.

I am rather fond of my "cold look", puts people in their place better than anything I say.
Of course I dont know the context, so I cant understand why you felt offended.

 

[Homburg]

No, not really. I expressed my displeasure, but understand the why's behind it. I spent too many boring nights on shift talking to police officers on-site with me, and understand some of what they go through. So I respectfully made my views known. I also was unwilling to bark at the desk sgt that I talked to because A) he wasn't the one that did it, and B) I don't even known if this guy was part of the local PD. I didn't get close enough to see his badge, and his gun was different than the standard duty sidearm the local PD uses. We get a lot of out of town officers coming in to liaise, train, etc.

In the end, I'm not going to scream my fool head off because a cop was doing his job. I'm just pissed at the manner in which it happened and the words chosen. There was no question, only assumption. That is why I have a problem. "Innocent until proven guilty" should be the operating maxim, especially in a case where there is no probable cause.

No, he was saying "You can't work this corner." and trying to roust her off.

The core thing here is that I am sympathetic with police officers. As I said, I got to know a pretty fair number of local cops and ex-cops years ago due to work. So I understand what was going on there. The thing is, that officer made an assumption and insulted a normal, everyday law-abiding person. That is shitty community policing. And now, she's nervous about going out there to pick up the kids, and I, as someone who is sympathetic to the cops usually, am pissed at the department and wondering when normal people become criminals. That is not what community policing is about, and not the standard that the local department, a forerunner in the concept of community policing, is all about.

If he had done it to me (although taking into consideration my size and age it's not likely!!) I would have taken great pleasure in putting him right on the situation and made him feel like an unfeeling idiot and asshole

Which is why I'd have raised holy living hell.

That is shitty community policing.

And the other reason I'd have ripped someone a new one.

And now, she's nervous about going out there to pick up the kids

I can imagine! *hugs for MIS*

Out of curiosity sake, could someone pick the kids up at school? I would be really uncomfortable with my kids being dropped off in a place that's known for hookers, and really uncomfortable being a single woman in an area known for hookers.

To get a PM on from someone who does not have anything written on his profile and 0 posts to the board. I replied that I do not converse with those without profiles or posts....and then he has PM's blocked so that he can send them but not respond!

What an idiot. Glad I don't have to waste my time anymore!

When I receive a PM from someone I don't know, I check the profile if it say nothing, I simple do not respond. No time wasted.

Eh, it is a MAJOR road. It is literally the main drag in this burg, and thousands of cars go by. And nothing actually happens on this specific stretch because it is so high profile, and the cops do keep it clear. It's just annoying though, and a bit worrisome when she gets approached by guys looking for sex.

My fix was to tell her to just take her car, and wait in it until the bus shows up. There's a parking right there at the corner, and she will be able to get to the bus just fine. And sitting in her car she shouldn't get hassled.

I hope not.

And if she *does,* I'm sure some major sphincter stretching and ripping will be done on the hassler.
