13. When I was in college, six of us rented the ground floor in an old house.
Thu Nov 11, 2021, 08:02 PM
Nov 2021

The couple who rented the basement apartment would come home every night and play Donnie and Marie at 3 AM. Polite requests to stop were to no avail.

Three of us were working in Top 40 radio at the time, and had multiple jingle package demos on reel tape laying around. One of us has a Kenwood quadraphonic receiver, and flour large Fisher speakers.

Sooo, one Saturday afternoon we splice several jingle packages together with a long leader on the front, threw the tape on my reel-to-reel, turned the speakers face down on the floor, turned up the volume, hit start and went out for a beer. What followed was 45 minutes of “Music Radio WLS.” “1260 KYA.” “Boss Radio 93 KHJ.” Very loud.

When we came back an hour later, they were sitting in front of our door begging us to make it stop. Poof! No more nocturnal Donnie and Marie!

I live next to a campground have for years. Many years ago they installed a PA system and started playing goat roping music and paging people all weekend. My brother liked Jazz. We went away for the weekend and I had him drag out his big speakers and blast the jazz all weekend. The PA systen never got turned on again. I think it is called communication.

Thu Nov 11, 2021, 09:54 PM
Nov 2021

Full blast, as load as his boom box could play.

I told him to turn it the fuck off - that that lying piece of shit was not allowed to blast his lies on my property. I should have told the contractor to get that worker off the project. Yeah, he turned the radio off but later he caused significant damage and delayed us moving in for six months. I don't think the damage was truly malicious, I think the guy was just that totally stupid.

The damage - He used too long nails to attach the trim on a wet wall - nailed a PVC pipe twice. The slow leak destroyed the finished wood floor in the master bedroom. They had to rip up the floor (and of course the trim the idiot installed), tear out the bottom of the drywall, replace everything, repaint, refinish, and so on. He also nailed one of the windows in the same room so that had to be replaced.

The wood floor after the leak:


His next job - working in the hardware section at Lowes advising people about what size nails and screws to buy.

This is just another example. To the point that I don’t really notice anymore. What else haven’t they accused others of only to see in their own ranks? If the the GOP makes it a an issue, they must have someone doing it somewhere.

Funny how it always comes up before the GOP story breaks though isn’t it. Foreknowledge, preemptive strike? It does work well with the “both sides do it” arguments they favor.

in the early pandemic days, our voting location of a primary was indoors, crowded and no strong ventilation system. We took our health seriously. i was first in line. but he immediately accepted my recommendation to not go vote when he woke up at midday.. The risk wasn’t worth it.

Fri Nov 12, 2021, 08:52 AM
Nov 2021

My wife gets texts from his wife and that's the only way we communicate. Their story is they want to travel around in a mobile home for a while but I can't imagine just living in a trailer park for the convenience of it. Just about everything they say is a lie or some twisted and odd belief so I suspect that it's not all well in repuke-land.

The aholes flew a confederate flag in front of their house for 2 years and the guy currently has "if you're a liberal you should seriously consider killing yourself" on the front page of his Facebook account. As much as I don't like myself for wishing harm on others, I really resent their threatening my life for years now with Covid and hate speech.

We Feds had to submit exemption requests by 11/8, and have to be fully vaccinated by 11/22; if you haven't submitted an exemption request, the discipline process can start on 11/22. It'll take some time to get an unvaccinated Fed off the rolls, but it's more clear-cut than normal indiscipline or misconduct.

He just screwed himself and he doesn’t realize it won’t be so easily to find a job at a certain age and showing you don’t give a shit about your fellow Co workers.
