You can't have it both ways. You want me to leave your stuff alone? Leave my stuff alone. Edited February 1 by Alpo 3 Quote

You can't have it both ways. You want me to leave your stuff alone? Leave my stuff alone. OK. I think we're interpreting the picture differently. I'm seeing it as a photo taken by the guy who used his buddy's tool without asking and not understanding why the guy was upset about that setup. Then I'm interpreting your first comment as being OK with that setup. Your second comment, quoted above, seems to be saying that because someone used a C-clamp of yours without permission that you would retaliate by ruining his expensive micrometer. Obviously I'm confused. 1 Quote
Texas Joker Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I was going to post the joke going over your head meme. A. I have too many memes to sort through for that one and decided and got bored looking for it. ii. Delicate precision tool of mine being used inappropriately might get me hot under the collar. But I also have a lot of funny shaped hammers.... 1 1 Quote

And now that you have explained the way you see it, I believe that's the way the picture was meant, and I was interpreting it incorrectly. But still, if you don't want me messing up your tools, stay out of my box. 1 Quote
Eyesa Horg Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I'm bettin the picture was no more than a photo op and no tools were harmed in the production. 1 1 Quote

I mean, if I saw somebody using my 3-inch mic for a c-clamp, I would not go get my phone to take a picture. I would go get a 3 lb hammer to beat him to death. 3 1 1 Quote

Alpo Posted February 4 Posted February 4 This isn't really a meme. Ain't got no cute caption added to it. But I thought it needed to be seen. Those two guys - I can't decide whether they are the most trusting people in the world or whether they are the most stupid people in the world. 2 1 1 Quote

The slight water movement in the background is not continuous in the moment the axe drops, so it's just a (quite good) fake. 2 1 Quote

Alpo Posted February 6 Posted February 6 8 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said: One more reason to always put the lid down That's why I started putting the lid down. And I have a little more sympathy for the ladies. Used to be that I would hear of women complaining - never heard one complaining directly but I keep hearing about it happening - about the guy leaving the seat up. And I would think, well damn lady, try looking occasionally before you sit down. I always look. Are women too stupid to look? Then I started closing the lid in my house. And I will have a guest who will use the toilet, and it does not matter whether they are standing or sitting - the next time I go in the bathroom the lid is up. The seat position is irrelevant. They never put the lid down. And that annoys me greatly. 4 1 Quote
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) I have an occasional visitor whose long-time stance is that it's just as easy for a woman to put the seat down as it is for a man to lift it up. Not to mention the lid. Well... sometimes the cat likes to bounce off the lid to the top of the tank and look out the window. Someone - this same visitor? - left the seat and lid up once. Poor cat came bounding through and *ker-SPLASH!* Poor cat was mortified. Poor me was also mortified; I got to do the cleanup. I very clearly impressed upon my visitor the house rule, "Seat and Lid DOWN!" Edited February 7 by Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6 3 Quote
