Grr. Got porch pirated a few days ago, and now we see our random assortment of items on facebook marketplace along with a ton of other "Brand new in packaging" listings of random items.
So frustrating that police won't do anything, noone will do anything. This pirate just ruined the day of like 25 people for a few hundred bucks.
Curious if you had a doorbell camera? I've been in a few arguments that those don't actual help out at all, since someone taking something from your porch will clearly have their face covered, even if you "find" them selling your stuff later.
Just curious if that made a difference for the police - my in-laws got some stuff stolen from their garage and the police said they couldn't do anything without a camera, but I was skeptical they could do anything WITH a camera either.

Somebody stole my GPS and I found it list Kijiji. I unfortunately fumbled this and they went incognito. What I should have done was offer to buy it and then taken the item and run, go back and egg their house., car, whatever.
This could go the other way, too. Twice in the last decade or so I’ve sold a higher priced item that the buyer basically accused me of stealing from them. Got the whole, “where did you get these, why are you selling them, I just had mine stolen last week and then your listing popped up, where did you say you got them again, oh wow they look exactly the same as mine” and couldn’t buy a smile, friendly nod, or even a thank you from either of them lol.
Basically said lucky you that I’m selling them for less than brand new.
The first time I was pretty insulted. The second time I just thought it was funny that this was happening to me again.
But if they’d taken the items without paying I’d have zero issue calling the cops. Imagine getting something stolen from you and then being arrested for stealing them from someone else while the original thief gets away easy lol. Salt in the wound for sure.
I don't expect the police to do anything. I'm just venting because it grinded my gears. In fact I didn't even go to the police because I don't have a doorbell camera - I think I would if I had some footage just to put something on file.
Honest question, what do you expect police to do? can you prove that the items on Facebook are actually the ones stolen off your porch?
I dont know what the Police actually can do.
My Son-in-Law's work van was parked in front of my house and got robbed 3 times. All on Video. Went to the Cops and they were all shoulders.
"Oh Great Gazoo! What do we do?"
We didnt even bother the last time. The first time sucked because his tools got stolen. His work, insurance nor the Cops did sweet fata all.
Even though the whole thing was caught on video. We watched the entire theft.
Okay, we sucked that one up. Tools come in the house now.
After that they were just after the Copper wire in the truck. Welp. That is someone else's problem.
All on video. Cops? Still all shoulders.

Which is fair enough.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I did the dumbest thing on Friday, cleaning my garage I had some broken glass panels so I decided to make a dump run. Break the panels up an bit, put them in a cardboard box and into the back of my vehicle. The box was sitting a bit high so I decided to squish it down . . .
Put a glass dagger right into my hand just above the wrist on the left side, but I felt slices all through my hand in my thumb and index finger and that side of my hand goes numb instantly. Immediately look for blood to start pouring but only came from the wrist cut. After checking I only had the one cut and the other "cuts" must have come from a nerve or tendon. The stab is tiny so i wait a few hours but Its still numb and I can't put pressure on my thumb or index finger without getting a shooting electrical pain worse than the cut itself.
Decided to go to the hospital and after a lengthy wait they look at the cut which almost looks to have disappeared, give me a tetanus shot and some antibiotics and send me on my way saying come back in a few days if the numbness and such is still there. 2 days later and not getting better i'm probably going back tomorrow or tuesday but this leads me to my gear grinder.
tldr: practice wiping with both hands now in case you can't use your dominant hand in the future, I never would have thought something so basic would be so awkward and difficult.

There may be a sliver of glass imbedded in the cut.
Yeah, I was thinking that but the odd thing is pressing on the cut or around it doesn't hurt or feel like anything is in there, its all in the palm/thumb and index finger. The other odd part is where the stab is there are no nerves/tendons to that part of the hand. The pain I get in my thumb is worse than the actual stab, anytime i put pressure on that tendon, but if I damaged the tendon why is the pain up there when I put pressure on and not at the stab location. Oh well see what happens after a couple more days, probably end up back to get it looked at.

Gym etiquette RGMG's. Lot's of people who waste valuable time scrolling through their phones and social media while taking up a machine or squat rack etc.
Almost all of us use our phones while at the gym in some capacity but the people who have taken up a squat rack for an hour while having done 6 reps. Like ****off and get on with your workout and move on. I am on the verge of actually calling out these posers

Rather than causing a scene, what is stopping you from simply just asking if they’re done with the equipment? It says to the person, a) it’s evident that you’re not working out anymore, and b) everyone in the gym sees that you’re just dicking around on your phone bogarting the equipment.

“the excuse me, do you mind if I work in with you?”
Give it a try

The lack of gym etiquette really grinds my gears. I've mentioned gym grinds before in this thread, but recently I saw a gym employee sweating all over the machines and not wiping them down afterwards. Would I be out of line to call him out?

Not cleaning your machine or bench or not stripping your bar is straight up ignorant

Etiquette is dead. Went to a beautiful mountain park early in the morning, it was nice until we returned from the brief walk and it’s overrun with idiots. party speaker bull#### music. Bear bins unlatched, and some mother####er lurking two feet beside our table waiting for us to depart. Nowhere is nice anymore, fuxking always overrun with #######s and their hoards of dumbasses.

I cant speak to this too much as I dont do 'homeless cosplay in the woods' very often anymore, but in a lot of ways I agree.
I dont know if it was a year off from society or what, but we as people having been regularly seemingly to feel entitled to treat each other like crap.
I actively make sure not to. Maintain manners. Be polite. Be patient.
But that doesnt go everyone and even my patience has limits.

I’m not all that annoyed but it seems these days the internet and social media are full of clips of girls getting dressed. I mean it’s one thing for these girls to model and push whatever it is they are selling but why do we have to watch them start from their underwear and get dressed? I mean when I look at buying a car do I watch ads of the car being assembled? Just show me the finished product. It’s just weird man. Just weird.
