Ok, I have a funny neighbor story. My great-grandparents were immigrants from Lithuania. They settled down and raised their large family on a farm in PA. They spoke Lithuanian at home so all their children were fluent in both Lithuanian and English. My grandmother moved to Brooklyn, NY in her youth but retained a slight PA accent. In her later years, she was the landlady of a small apartment building in Queens, NY. She rented the upstairs apartment to a Lithuanian lady. My grandmother recognized her accent but didn't feel it was appropriate to share her personal life with a tenant so she didn't mention that she herself was of Lithuanian descent.
The tenant found out the hard way. My grandmother had knocked on the woman's door to collect the rent, which was late. The tenant cursed my grandmother out and was ASTOUNDED when my grandmother answered in kind ;) I was a kid at the time but boy would I have loved to see the look on that tenant's face LOL.
Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.

"Let's see if blah blah blah can get 1,000,000 fans before blah blah blah!" Yeah, shut up already. Stupid Facebook groups. NOBODY CARES IF YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR/FAVORITE BAND/FAVORITE TEAM/FAVORITE SHOESTRING HAS MORE FANS THAN SOME OTHER ACTOR/SOME OTHER BAND/SOME OTHER TEAM/A PIECE OF LETTUCE.
Actually, I guess they do, since people join these groups.
Somebody shoot me please

I didn't see it. Since they updated the layout, my shit's been acting all funny. I still see the old layout, and half the time, my news/live feeds are completely blank. I have to refresh 100 times and then a few show up, and before the page finishes loading, half of them disappear... wtg Facebook

Well I sent you one that is trying to get a pickle to be more popular than Nickleback. I thought it was clever, and you had better as well.

I was not surprised at all to see some of the worst violators of the "is X more popular than Y" group-joiners from my friends list have already joined the Pickle revolution.

These asshole children that are supposed to be improving my home drew dicks all over the drywall by the washer and dryer. I am SO PISSED. They aren't going to put up new drywall or paint over the ejaculating dick graffiti so now I will either have to fix it myself or wait to explain to my kids what the things drawn on the wall means.

Are these friends of yours that are working on everything? I would be beyond pissed and rip them a new one before AND after they repaired it.

Where I lived in Texas - You can walk outside in your underwear to get the news paper and mail and nobody would even give you a second glance.
Ok, so I lied...some....its not quite like that....but people there really dont give a fuck what you do. I threw many a wild ass beer party in my yard with loud ass music until 6am and my neighbors sometimes came over and joined us.

How old are these kids working on your house? Why would they draw dicks on your drywall for?

I am guessing but I would say none of them are over 22 or 23. And no they aren't my friends they are hired to remodel our shit ass house. Why draw dicks on the wall? How the fuck should I know? I've never had any inclination to draw vagina's on anything. I'm thinking about going down there are busting one of them upside the head.

Hell yes I'd make them pay to paint it over and have their boss rip them a new one after I did. When we moved into our house in Wasilla, AK the guys doing some of the repairs left their shit everywhere (they said they were coming back /shrug) and got plaster all over the floor. The boss called and ask how they were doing, I told him they took off and he was like WTF? He came over, saw the mess, and nearly lost his shit in my family room. He made a couple calls and then left. The repair guys came back in a huge fucking hurry, kept apologizing, picked up their shit AND vacuumed my floor. The whole time I was like, 'wha?' Hell I didn't know what was going on, but apparently their boss ripped them a new one.
Definitely freak out on those guys. That's total bullshit. =/

Take pictures, and then contact the boss - if he's a jerk take action. My dad is a contractor, and I can tell you his reputation is VERY important to his success. If anyone working for him did this they would be gone very quickly.

Took pictures was thinking about taking a video too. When Erik gets home I am going to get the contractors number from him and if Erik won't nut up and tell him about the dicks I will. If it was just me and Erik living here I would have far less of an issue of cleaning it off myself but I have 2 girls that do their own laundry and are around the age where dicks might start being something their curious about. Of course they're about a foot above the washer where I have no hope of reaching them to wash them off not that I should even HAVE to do that. Assholes. They are pretty much done down there just waiting for a custom window and another sink to come in on order so they weren't here today or they would have heard about it.

Definately talk to their boss. david was a contractor when we lived in Phoenix, hed have fired anyone after making them sorry they were ever born who tried to pull that shit.

I'm still shocked anyone would do such a thing...I mean even the smallest amount of professionalism should prevent that. I'd have been on the phone with the contractor the moment I saw it but then, I kind of like exploding at people occasionally.
