When I was a regular subway rider, I would routinely do some aggressive flirting with a guy that insisted on doing that to me. Put my hand on his thigh, some eye contact "Hey man what's up? Seems like you've got a lot going on down there spreading out like that, yeah?"

That's shitty. I always move out of the way and hold doors for women on the street and routinely give up seats (chivalrous or sexist, whatever that's just how I've always been). I've even exchanged nods and/or a couple words a few times with a woman that seems particularly anxious in a thick crowd where we're going…

I am absolutely pro-prostitution, have respectfully enjoyed such services (sometimes my lady participates as well, sometimes it's just for her), and support any efforts to legalize it and protect those men and women who do the work. I'm just calling a spade a spade, and am submitting that anyone who is a paid escort…

Totally guilty. If there are more than a few seats available nearby next to people that don't look sketchier than me, I try my best to look unappealing. Go sit over there. But yeah, I'm not going to make you go sit next to the twitchy homeless guy and will pull it in when people come through so they have the option.

Maybe you're not familiar with the difference in hips between men and women. If my knees are within my hips when I'm standing, they are practically touching and my junk is out in front. If I'm sitting down with knees together, it's got to be sitting up top on my thighs (crazy uncomfortable depending on how severely my…

The more common offender on the woman side is the [expensive?] purse that cannot be put on the potentially dirty floor. Those with backpacks and shopping bags are a little more carefree in that regard.

If you're complaining about a crying baby (or any other environmental annoyance) on an enclosed tin can thousands of miles above the ground from which there is no escape, seriously, fuck you. None of us enjoy flying in commercial planes, it is a utilitarian expense that we undertake because there is not a better…

I believe this article's scope was limited to how you help people during the course of your employment, as opposed to your non-paid volunteer efforts. Also, I can help you get fucked, troll. Piss off.

I would bet the twin was willing to do THAT*, and the wife wasn't.

For the speed cameras in rental cars that you got away with, it's probably just the rental company taking the bullet for you when they receive the ticket in the mail in an effort to keep your business. Keep it up and you might see some extra charges on your card from them.

Re: signing a ticket. In all states I'm aware of, a ticket or citation is issued IN LIEU of arrest, and the signature just acknowledges that you received the ticket and agree to either pay it or show up in court on the specified date. That means that, if the cop is so inclined, he could arrest you for something as…

Another nice touch is the local news station meteorologists who will track Santa's flight path during the evening and around 9-10PM say "he should be arriving here soon, so kids to bed to make sure he stops at your house."

I've got no kids either, but I've got a niece and nephew who are still pretty young (6-8) who are well aware that Uncle AV Nerd or Mom or Dad is Santa and they like it still. The past couple years I've had them round up toys that they don't play with anymore or just feel like giving away and they hand them to kids at…

Or "don't make me fear for my safety."

Same sentiment here. I've got a beater 2000 Protege, 2WD (at least it's FWD manual for easier control) and live in the Colorado mountains. It's my first proper winter, and there are definitely several days out of each month where driving is a little bit of a white-knuckle slip and slide, but as long as I stick to…

I've already got wheels in motion to get into something a little more meaningful professionally (I already do plenty of volunteer/activist work), but the trick is doing that AND paying my [already deeply cut] bills at the same time.

Fine counselor, but I do believe you are splitting hairs. Also featured on "escort" ads - "by contacting me, you are acknowledging that you are not affilitated with law enforcement, and that this is not a solicitation for an act of prostitution; payment is for my time only and not for whatever happens between two…

What if you literally help no one? "Hi, I help wealthy people with big egos spend their money on shit that they don't really need." "I help my fellow employees remain employed by suckling at the teat of the 1%".

Different world - my siblings and I were never bribed, ever, that I can recall (rewarded for non-compulsory good behavior, yes). My instinct is always a "don't negotiate with ter\\\children" policy because of how difficult it is to get that power dynamic back in your favor once you set that precedent. Because when you…

I am of course an old and out of touch privileged white male, but with just a few exceptions, it's still the same old shit (women being sex objects and/or writing songs about how men affect their lives) but repackaged as "feminism" and "on our own terms" etc. Progress?
