Based on my experience w house cats that is one angry and annoyed feline.

That's what I was thinking. HOW TF did this get approval by/ through the public bus system?!

nah, the roaches are here to restart civilization once we've blown ourselves into the stone age or worse...

There is a folk tale/ fable from maybe India? That once upon a time, when the animals could speak, Humanity was already being douchy and the animals called a meeting to take a vote on whether humanity would be allowed to live....

Only the mosquito representative spoke up in our behalf saying "They're delicious..."

In my general observation, local restaurants (non-chain) and local chain restaurants (like maybe 5 shops total all in the same area and not national or multi-national) often have much better, fresher, healthier food anyway.

Wow, that would even seem to include not just restaurants, but the gas station/ bodega combo things everywhere that sell pre-made refrigerated sandwiches.

Oooh, or "I could have finished at the Community College, but didn't... and I'm working at something I KNOW is beneath me, but I'm not willing to do anything to actually change that situation."

I remember a coworker exactly like that.... while at the same time a coworker that was his same age had the worst crush on him (divorcee no kids). She baked and brought him cookies all the time, but he wasn't interested in her, she was like 5 years younger than him and apparently past her freshness date. ARGHHH.

Yeah, that kind of thing requires that the thing he has to tell you is "you dropped something" or "you have TP stuck to your shoe" or something like that.... and even then a tap on the shoulder is much more appropriate.

Otherwise, that's just Yeccch....

Personally, I think "random escalation of harassment" is more likely than actual rape, but it does indeed scare me. (because does that escalation turn into insults and assault? I've gotta just guess what's going on with Mr. Random Stranger.) Stalker situations have actually happened to many of us (including me) that…

Right On!

Being an "odd awkward" female person, I'm sick to *death* of the "he's just awkward" or "he's just got Aspergers" being used as an excuse for this guy.

the guys who actually ARE socially awkward or have Aspergers are generally over polite and distant till they get a clear "go ahead"... and are generally among the guys…

Dear Random Desperate Dork,
Get a social life beyond randomly watching women on the street. Join a club that has men AND women in it. Take a class, VOLUNTEER....
Have some actual *conversation* with someone who has a shared interest, and don't limit it to women who are HOT or under 30... (because it's 99% likely…

Also, while he's middle aged, he's almost certainly not even remotely talking about single women HIS AGE... or similarly chubby as him.

(by the way, I'm middle aged, my S.O. is a year older, not tall, chubby (I'm neither tall nor slim either)... and he's quite bald... Though he never ever would have just…

Wouldn't that be like All of the Times? (like completely with maybe a few exceptions) right?!

My first thought, (though from a current point of view) is that a girl expressing such a desire for power/violence against men was probably molested/raped or abused IN REAL LIFE.... of course circa Wertham, that would have been UNTHINKABLE. (Young girl a victim of grown men, and not protected by the justice…

Also +1 (or more) vs sunburn.... redhead non-muslim friend gets her swim suits from a place that caters to "modesty" swimsuits.

As horrible as her case is... there's so many examples where rather than get a kid medical or psyc support, they do an exorcism.

*sigh* How many times to I have to tell you kids? Never invoke anything larger than your head...

Cat ghosts are a *feature* not a bug... and therefore don't need to be disclosed. :D
