    American lady absolutely losing it and hysterically screaming at a McDonald’s cashier for not accepting US dollars. In Ireland.

    I was in the Navy and one of my shipmates got so drunk he passed out on a bench in front of the fountain at the Kings Cross intersection in Sydney. So a prostitute told him he was going to get arrested and when he spoke she realized he was American and somehow one thing leading to the other…

    She gave him a bj at 7am during the beginning of rush hour traffic. She later took us to a couple private bars that were creepy and she stole his Levi’s later after they had sex and she left

      Yep lived there! This was pre-2010, to be certain. Now there’s a safe injecting site, lockout laws, and other things that make the neighborhood less fun

        Safe consumption sites save lives and improve communities, blatantly so when compared to the status quo. Fuck outta here with that tired, bloodsoaked, right-wing, reactionary NIMBYism.

        You dont care and that dehumanization is why you’ll catch an ez block; I’m not rehashing this debate for the nth time.

          Mate… dunno where to begin with you. I work in these places and I’m 100% for. You sound like you need to address an anxiety or anger problem.

            IF that’s true:

            Doesnt matter if you do; your anecdotal life experience does not make for a better world for people who use.

            What’s more, im not given to policing my own emotions, nor allowing you to judge my emotions, as if we should be robots. Humans are emotional and biased, acting otherwise doesnt make you the very enlightened voice of logic and reason you seem to think it does – Thst’s just basic manipulative behavior.

            With all do buddy…

            Enjoy the block 😇

        I stayed there in 2011 and the hotel didn’t have wifi. Jet lag led me to sitting on the sidewalk outside McDonald’s at 5am to get some internet.

    In San Diego, Arizona tourists (who are often fucking pieces of shit) like to walk up to groups of seals (past signs and barriers) to fucking pet them.

    Fuck you, Zonies!

      The seals don’t bite the zonies? I don’t go near the seals or sea lions because I assume they will bite. They look too much like sea doggos, and domesticated doggos will still bite strangers.

    Switzerland. Taking the very busy cableway down the mountain. People waiting in line to get in. Next stop, I see some people exiting and immediately getting in line again there. Apparently they thought you need to get in line again at every stop. Crazy. Sweet maybe, but crazy.

    I was in the line to get tickets for Leeds Castle in UK. Some guy got off a bus ran past the line to the ticket guy. He started slamming his hands down and yelling “Fish and Chips” over and over again.

    The ticket guy wasn’t selling any food and wasn’t going to sell him a ticket unless he got in line. After about 2 minutes of this he just got back on the bus.

    Out fishing with some buddies on a river popular for its springs and people floating on inner tubes.

    Except, we were well south of the exit for tubers to be picked up by the shuttle and taken back to the start, and we start hearing a loud group approaching. Eventually they saw us and loudly spoke to each other saying something about “asking the rednecks”. When they got closer they did, to the point of saying, “Hey rednecks, where is the exit for tubers? Did we pass it or is it coming up?”

    They were probably a 20 minute float past the exit. I told them they had about another 20 minutes to go.

    “Thank you rednecks!”

    Attempt to hitchhike across the US. No clue if they made it, but I carried them through Kentucky.

    I say this as someone who has successfully hitchhiked the length and breadth of the 48 states, but these folks were not prepared for what they were attempting.

        I mean, the gutter is made for dealing with liquids, whereas a trashcan is meant for solid waste, so that doesn’t seem like a good idea?

            Finish the drink or pour the liquid out first, same as I’d do with the trash can in my kitchen

              Where do you pour the liquid? Most trash cans out in public do not have drains conveniently located next to them.

                Patch of grass or mulch near by, or in a storm drain if there is one. Otherwise I continue carrying it until I get to such a place. If I’m in inside, like a mall or an airport, I pour in a restroom sink and then rinse it down the sink drain with water from the tap.

                But it rarely comes to that. I generally finish whatever my drink is long before I have a need to throw the container out.

      Hate to tell ya, but corporations have been running the US government for most of its existence.

      The scariest part about Trump is that the plutocracy no longer need to even hide the vacuous corruption. So many people are so mentally ill they’ll literally defend satan to your face, while feeding you an alternate version of reality, citing some dead shit crackpot with 1k YouTube views as “evidence”, while calling you crazy. Having dealt with these people, their OS is simply corrupted. They don’t know what logic or reality is anymore, and most of them never will… If they can ignore all evidence thus far, they’re more likely to murder you than they are to self reflect.
