Then brag about it in here.

Aliantha 02-26-2008 06:04 PM

Oh right, and then you'll be pointing out what a bragger I am as well as a whiner?! I don't think so!!!

lumberjim 02-26-2008 06:24 PM

that's the spirit!

DanaC 02-26-2008 06:28 PM

Cock!


By 'good deeds' do you mean give a blowie?

lumberjim 02-26-2008 07:00 PM

YES!

and by 'brag about it' I mean tell us in great detail with illustrative words, and compound sentences. onamonopoeia is appreciated as well. kthx

DanaC 02-26-2008 07:01 PM

D'ye mean words like 'suck' 'slurp' and 'gobble'?

lumberjim 02-26-2008 07:02 PM

yes i do.

and on that topic, I offer the word 'ropey' for your.....consumption.

DanaC 02-26-2008 07:17 PM

ewww

lumberjim 02-26-2008 07:34 PM

yes, ewww.....this thread has turned smutty.


Today, I went way out of my way helping a customer fax his insurance documents to the morons at New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Co.

It took a while.

Last week, I got a pair of shoes off the top shelf for a lady that couldnt reach them.

Aliantha 02-26-2008 07:40 PM

You're such a lovely man Jimbo. If only there were more of you in the world.

*blinks* this from the king of smut?

Yesterday I spent 45 minutes sitting in an old lady's house letting her ramble on about a bunch of stuff that I can't do anything about as her councillor. She'd contacted me about some vague problems she was having with kids kicking a football around outside. I think she just wanted someone to talk to. So, I had a cup of tea and looked at her photographs of her grandchildren (who live in Auckland) and commiserated with her on the lack of manners in young people today. She seemed quite perky by the time I left.

Last week I loaned £100 to a friend of my mum's (an asylum seeker who's recently been given permission to work) so he could buy a suit and a one month travel pass and a new pair of shoes for his new job. I can't exactly afford it (especially given recent trips to the vets :P) but it was nice to be able to help out.

lumberjim 02-26-2008 07:48 PM

i like the talking to old people thing. If i had that kind of time, i'd do that.

i'm probably lying. i suck

Aliantha 02-26-2008 07:48 PM

You don't suck Jimbo. You're lovely. You're special. Very special. :)

lumberjim 02-26-2008 07:49 PM

i don't think you're being sincere.


in fact, i think you're being sarcastic.

cock.

DanaC 02-26-2008 07:50 PM

In fairness it kind of goes with my job. I get a lot of elderly constituents who just contact you for something to do.

Aliantha 02-26-2008 07:58 PM

OH Jimbo, I do think you're thpecial. Very thpecial in fact. ;)

classicman 02-26-2008 10:50 PM

I help the old batty lady that lives across the street. No one, NO ONE else will even talk to her. She is very strange.

classicman 02-26-2008 10:50 PM

....Strange days indeed....

Aliantha 02-26-2008 10:53 PM

I'm not doing any more good deeds for anyone but my family. If they're not family they end up shitting all over you, like my arsehole neighbours! Fuck them. They've had all the good deeds from me they're ever likely to get.

HungLikeJesus 02-26-2008 10:55 PM

I put a dollar in the Cellar tip jar.

And I, ah, ... nope, I guess that's about it.

lumberjim 02-26-2008 11:05 PM

a dollar?

srsly?

Aliantha 02-26-2008 11:08 PM

gee I wish I'd known that's all you had to put in

Just ask UT.

lookout123 02-26-2008 11:25 PM

Good deed? Not so sure. But I did something. I'll probably get arrested for it shortly in fact. I wish I were joking. :(

I ran into one of my former players and his drunk ass worthless lump of a father a couple hours ago. The kid has been knocked around before and I've offered for him to come stay with us when the dad is tanked. Tonight the kid had a couple new bruises and a shiny new cast. Dad was piss drunk. I suggested LL might like to have a friend over tonight and said I'd be happy to get the kid to school tomorrow. Just trying to be friendly about things as I already know that mom won't ever press charges. Well drunk ass gets loud with me, pokes me in the chest a few times, makes some comment about knocking that spoiled Lil Lookout on his ass, and why don't I just fuck off and die. As I go walking away he starts cussing at me and LL and then shoves me in the back. I keep walking to my car until he starts making some comments to LL about his mom. At that point I turned around and beat the piss out of the guy and kindly informed him that I'll cut his fucking throat if he ever even looks at my kid again. Some of the guys from the club pulled me off him and I left with LL.

All I wanted to do is help a kid and I have to go and lose my fucking temper. Good deeds my ass. I'd love to have a couple of beers right now, but that's probably not a great idea since I know the cops will show up. Fucking brilliant. Tell my kids to use their brains not their fists and then I beat the shit out of a guy at the damn soccer club where I coach them. Fucking brilliant.

Aliantha 02-26-2008 11:30 PM

Some people need a good punch in the nose mate. Not great that the kids were there though, but sometimes these things happen.

I hope you don't get booked for it. You don't deserve it.

classicman 02-26-2008 11:42 PM

Don't sweat it lookout - Wussy won't have the balls to call the cops.

DanaC 02-27-2008 05:54 AM

Ach Lookout, that sucks. Totally understand why you did i tthough. The guy clearly deserves a kicking.

Timo 02-27-2008 06:02 AM

once at christmas time I was walking down the street and a disabled guy was trying to get into the side door of a bank, it was locked,
so I went in, found the door and shoved it open letting the gentleman into the warmth of the bank! I was about 14,

christmas + disabled + good outcome = good deed lasting 10 years

lookout123 yours it worth at least 16

That's what Gary Cooper would have done.

Shawnee123 02-27-2008 11:25 AM

Damn, lookout. You did the right thing...screw that dumbass. That sucks so bad, but maybe if the cops do get involved then children's services will also. Keep us posted.

lookout123 02-27-2008 11:27 AM

Update. Apparently drunk dad went back up there today and requested a copy of the security cam footage. The director and an employee who were the only witnesses to the event informed him that the cameras were mistakenly left off yesterday. :D

shina 02-27-2008 11:28 AM

He won't call the cops. He'll be too afraid of what will come his way if he does. Good for you for being the kinda guy that cares about others. The guy deserved to get his ass kicked.

Clodfobble 02-27-2008 02:51 PM

Really glad to hear the event staff were on your side, lookout. And I agree, the guy needs more than a single ass-kicking, and I totally understand how your temper got the better of you in the situation.

But if you're looking for ways to help keep your cool in the future, it might help to remind yourself that often in these types of family situations, humiliating the dad will only lead to extra hitting of the kid later. Personally, I'd call family services on him now, before the kid's latest round of bruises fades.

classicman 02-28-2008 08:27 AM

Me bein me here, but at what point is enough...enough?! Didn't you walk away and HE follow you? Didn't HE repeatedly violate your personal space? Didn't HE put his hands on you first? Didn't HE poke, antagonize, shove, push...you? (while you were walking away) You simply defended yourself? This guy totally deserved what he initiated. He started it, you finished it - where's the problem?
Maybe I better read your description of the events again - I gotta be missing something.

Yea, they call it aggravated assault. I don't think you have much to worry about. If you ever see him again just save yourself the time and call the cops. If he is drunk they will arrest him.

I was thinking the same thing. As much as this jerk deserved what he got, calling family services would be a better approach in the future.

Is that not just a veiled brag? making it clear that you do in fact do good deeds? Would it not have been more seemly just to say nothing?

BigV 02-28-2008 05:33 PM

fuck off

you're so fulla shit sometimes you have no idea how funny you are. You should learn to take yourself less seriously. Guess I'm on ignore now, huh? :D

Shawnee123 02-29-2008 07:35 AM

I seemly to have stumbled into a spat. :corn:

SteveDallas 02-29-2008 08:59 AM

I have nothing to mention, because I don't do any good deeds.

(Wait, this is starting to sound like Swankers on I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue.)

Flint 02-29-2008 09:50 AM

Good deeds? Well, a bunch of people were wrong on the internet, and I corrected them.

monster 02-29-2008 10:10 AM

:lol:

Flint 02-29-2008 10:17 AM

I love the action-lines around the keyboard; he's typing the shit out of that shit!

glatt 02-29-2008 10:19 AM

I assumed it was a "him" too, but if you look again, there is no gender implied.

Flint 02-29-2008 10:23 AM

I thought about that while I was typing that sentence, but I assume I'm supposed to relate to the character, and I'm a dude. If I was female I would have said "her" ... No bias intended, just trying to type a clean sentence with him/her/he/she/its.

Besides, a woman would never just go out & start unilaterally correcting other people.

Shawnee123 02-29-2008 10:26 AM

Ahem...a woman would never just go out AND start unilaterally correcting other people.

:lol:

Flint 02-29-2008 10:27 AM

Ahem...a woman would never just go out AMPERSAND start unilaterally correcting other people.

glatt 02-29-2008 10:31 AM

I used to work with a guy who was a bit of a moron. He mistakenly referred to parentheses as "strombolis." The rest of us mocked him behind his back. But just a little. We weren't too mean. (Had to add that because this is the good deeds thread.)

Flint 02-29-2008 10:33 AM

No way.

You know the episode of Friends where Joey says supposebly...? I knew this dude that said supposively.

Trilby 02-29-2008 11:02 AM

maybe it's just a dipthong thing.

lumberjim 02-29-2008 11:48 AM

Shawnee123 02-29-2008 12:42 PM

Prolly for sharing your stash. ;)

Dingleschmutz 02-29-2008 12:57 PM

Don't hate just because you don't have a gold star medallion extolling virtues you don't actually possess.

Shawnee123 02-29-2008 02:13 PM

:) That medallion is better than the flaming bag of crap I usually get!
