Well played.

“I mean yeah, sure, some of those commenters do shit on the server, but I’ve also seen plenty that defended the customer without doing so.”

“That’s called stealing from your employer.”

My personal take on it is that I see Pinkham’s Law as, fundamentally, about victim-blaming, but as it’s Monsieur Ubertrout’s blog, it’s totally his call.

Okay, they’re not actually shitting on the server, but they’re Grinching about something that the server has zero control over, plus completely missing the fucking point of the story. I’d count that as an Honourable Mention.

*something* *something* allergies *something*

“I don’t know if I’m Pinkham’s Lawing myself or not.”

“Wait, isn’t Pinkham’s Law someone /defending/ the actions of a customer here?”

Isn’t Pinkham’s law about defending the indefensible, though?

As they drive off, I can hear the guy singing, “You gotta move on, doot doot doo doo doo doo. You gotta move on.”

“and the cook loves drama (Editor’s Note: You could’ve just stopped at “he’s a cook.”)“

“whether this is pistachio or mint ice-cream”

Nuh uh! This is about picking which story will draw shitty comments about the server, & it doesn’t count until the comment is made.

Indeed. Also because the server was thinking Bad Thoughts about Mr Allergy.

(THOSE ACTUAL WORDS IN THAT ACTUAL ORDER IS WHAT SHE SAID IT IS SEARED INTO MY MIND BECAUSE WHAT)

I realise that because this BCO is about nice customers, the pickings are likely to be pretty slim, but humanity & the Internet being what it is, I’m betting that someone will figure out a way to shit on the server, somehow. The upside is that - unlike last Monday - the ‘winner’ is unlikely to comment within a couple…

Oh FFS! This is from the weekend? Goddamn Seppos & your weird date formats. Bah!

Being confused is okay, what’s not okay is hurting innocent people because of it. Thank you for being decent enough to think outside the way you were raised - that makes you a better person than most.

And my initial response to you got 995 stars. If you want to make it a popularity contest of it, I beat you by more than 4:1..

Really? There are people still living there from prior to 1923?
