I love both of the stories in that post, because they share a common theme.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"][quote name="Tom Chick"]More recently, I've had an ongoing dispute with my neighbors about a barking dog. It's been going on for, literally, years. I began by going over and politely asking if they could do something about it. That never panned out. Arbitration fell through. Animal services fell through (thanks, city government!). So I basically had to deal with a mondo German shepherd right outside my bedroom window that freaks out at raccoons at all hours of the night and freaks out at people going to work early in the morning. It sucked. I was reduced to either going over there or calling them on the phone when the dog got on a barking jag. One night, after visiting the family about their dog, the police showed up at my door about an hour later. They said the woman told them I tried to break into the house and that I'd been calling her on the phone asking her for a date. I was told that if I called that number or visited that address again, she could get a restraining order against me.[/quote] Tom Chick attempting valiantly to impose his will on other people, then becoming confused and hurt when real life doesn't work like one of his real-time strategy games. "I don't think you understand, officers. You're talking to the SUPREME COMMANDER here. I have a reputation for fairness and maturity, <i>on the internet.</i>" Regarding the incredible bruisable woman: it's obvious Tom didn't consider those particular bruises much different from any of the (apprently?) hundreds of others she incurred as a result of their relationship. But then it's equally obvious that she did, judging by the fact she felt the need to document them with a fucking camera. [quote name="Tom Chick"]The worst thing I've ever done to a woman was pouring out a Mountain Dew on her head when I was drunk in college, and we both laughed about it at the time. I once cussed out a girlfriend in Italian, having learned a phrase from an opera, but I think the Mountain Dew thing was worse. Yet here was photographic evidence to suggest that I had abused a woman.[/quote] "I spend my whole life respecting women, then the <i>one time</i> I decide to get a little rough with one, suddenly <i>I'm</i> the bad guy? This makes no sense. If you have consensual sex with your girlfriend 1,000 times, and then the 1,001st time she says 'no' but you do it anyway, does that <i>really</i> make you a rapist? Or does it just make her a capricious bitch?"[/quote]
