First game of full Monopoly with the boy this evening. Many lessons were learned.

Monopoly sucks?

In my house we already had boxes that are just decorative, not for storing things. Now we have pillows you’re not allowed to put your head on.

Beam me up.

To a 10 year old that is just starting to play, no, it doesn't....

He came is 2nd out of 3. The lessons were mainly that Boardwalk and Park Place are mostly only good on paper, you have to pay attention because I ain't gonna tell you I owe you money for landing on your property, trading is essential and you have to really look at the big picture when doing so, and that, later in the game, being in jail is a good thing.

My daughter loves the board game Sequence, which we probably play more than any other. If not that, Uno.

I sub out girl for lady.

The new Sirius XM commercial featuring Dave Grohl could have been perfect had they ended it properly. I have corrected this.

I think I only use the term “woman” for someone older than me. Feels weird using it for a coworker my age, for example.

The term “guy” exists when “man” seems weird. We don’t have an equivalent in the other direction so we’re stuck with “girl”…which also feels weird.

You don't ever want to refer to anyone over 18 as a girl in a professional setting. That would really set some woman off.

I never have the need to use either label at work, somehow. It’s mostly in a “this girl at work…” anecdote thing for Mrs S.

But yes. No doi.

mrs litt and i were having an almost identical conversation last night

Family was out on our front porch enjoying the nice Sunday afternoon when some absolute dumpster of a human walked by and threw whatever he was drinking in the yard across the street. I yelled over Hey litterbug (which made me laugh), want to grab your garbage you just tossed? He kept walking and then 10 seconds later came back and went off. He was grabbing his cack saying f you, don't ever tell me what the f to do, I'll fing punch you, blah blah blah. I've never seen anyone so upset about being called a litterbug. He continued yelling as he walked down the block and about 5 minutes later, my wife asked if I heard something and this piece of **** was standing on the corner still yelling at us (no idea what he was saying because he was too far away). Ended up being a big can of icehouse and the guy legit scared me with his anger and he was a big dude. He walks by our house almost every day, so I'm very interested to see what the next encounter will be like. I'm guessing he was too drunk to remember, but police will be called after another episode. People are dumb.

Call the police, I’d report that. Drunk guy throwing trash in peoples yards and threatening residents. That’s a no brainer

[PFiDC]

Yeah it's probably best to just get this on the record now in case something happens again.

[robbiestoupe]

Echo the above. And next time, pull your phone out to record the whole thing.

1. It may put the guy in his place as he knows he's being recorded
2. It gives the police evidence. Otherwise, it just goes on record as John Doe and nothing is done. Probably can't even connect this latest incident with future incidences.

[eddy]

We were going back and forth about that, but I kinda felt like the guy may burn down my house that night if I called over that. I realize that's probably the right thing to do, but I was hoping it was just a drunk episode and seeing him walk in front of the house daily made things weird. He walks by around 4 and 8 every day and the trash was picked up next morning, so we'll see what happens.

Yes, wish I had my phone, will definitely do this if there is a next time. Literally see this guy almost daily for last few years, was hoping not to make a bigger mess of things over littering.

[PFiDC]

If you call now, even if you called the night it happened, the police would have done nothing. It just puts the incident on record and could help if there are future incidents. I understand the trepidation about calling, but it's probably best to get it on record now. But you do what you feel is best for you and your family. People are **** crazy.

[eddy]

I was going to follow him home in the shadows next time and dump my recycling in his front yard.

[meow]

Fight him, you *****

It's not the littering, it's the yelling obscenities for some time at you. Probably good to explain the situation to some cops, and they might even send a patrol or something at those times he walks by. I mean what are you supposed to do? Just ignore a guy throwing trash in yours or your neighbors yard? What are the local police for, if not for dealing with jagoffs that are menacing the neighborhood for no good reason?

[willeyeam]

Poop in his yard

[eddy]

I got up thinking ok, here we go and the guy seemed like he had 6 inches and about 100 pounds on me and I said, we'll just let him yell and I'll sit here, he got called a litterbug which is good enough in my book.
