Unpopular opinion here

You should never just fuck with people. Even if they deserve it.

You don't know what they're going through

And a small percentage of the population are violent psychopaths. You won't know it until it's too late.

Don't fuck with people, unless it actually serves a legitimate useful productive purpose. And then proceed with caution.

What might seem like a funny game in your mind might trip something much different in someone else's mind. It's best not to play with that. There is a small subset of the population that are not like you, and you do not want to be on their radar. Nothing good comes from that

They also sell small coin battery devices whose sole function is to emit a little beep/chirp at random intervals. Easy to hide. Hard to track down/pinpoint when you just get one random chirp every 5-30 minutes.

I used one of those in my boss’s office.


It works. Five stars.

It is basic risk benefit analysis. Which most people suck at.

Leave people alone. Unless it's Matt Gregory.

Working on some jackassery today.
The guy in the office next to mine likes perfect silence and gets hilariously angry if distracted by noise from my office...

I calculated the fundamental acoustic frequency of our offices in the side-to-side direction. 59Hz, call it 60. Tones of 60Hz, or overtones like 120, 180 etc, will transmit efficiently and light up the room modes in his office. Hard to pinpoint the source when the resonances are hit.

A single tone isn't nearly as annoying as what is possible. Combining some closely spaced tones creates beat frequencies that are very unpleasant. My computer speakers don't put out much power at 60Hz, so I'm testing around 120 and 180. So far the most headache inducing sound I've come up with is 3 combined notes, such as 117, 120, 124 Hz, each with a sawtooth wave profile. The spread stays within the width of the room mode which should be 5-10 Hz.

Hopefully he'll attack me.

Hahahahahaha this made my day

DIABOLICAL!!!!!!!

Leaving people alone cuts both ways. His tantrums have been well into the realm of physical confrontation.

You could put a new shifter in his car for him lol

Today I was cooking rice with turkey in a frying pan for myself.


Long story short, I burned all the hair off my left arm.

accidentally


I only just noticed it now.

NY strip, seasoned chicken breast, badly made jalapeno poppers, twice baked potatoes and corn on the cobb made on my weber with charcoal and cherry wood

That sounds like trying to determine which frikken smoke detector is chirping in one’s house.

Seriously, this is my favorite type of jokes.

Like, stereotypes are the best and funniest thing ever.

Because they’re mostly actually true, lol.

Congratulations, Yoko and Mrs. Yoko!

Thanks Mike!

Sometimes I feel like people should just say "my condolences" to my Mrs lol

That sounds pretty intense. Does he know what kinds of hobbies you have?

Something happen? Been at work

Nope. When Richard and his co-worker reenact the OK Corral.

 

[Moorik]

I congratulate you once again.

Overall, when I hear stories like this, it genuinely makes me happy.

I met my wife when I was 17, damn, a little over ten years ago now.

But seriously, I think they mostly protect us from all the incredibly stupid things we constantly want to do.

I've always seen it as a huge blessing.

And may this be just the beginning, yoko

*downs vodka*

(to be honest, it was Coke Zero, I just had to play the stereotype)

No jokes, I'm an extremely contradictory and reckless person, and I can say for sure that if it weren't for my wife, I would have accidentally died by now.

I'm extremely sure that my wife taught me kindness and patience.

Oh, by the way, I think the markets are going to crash in the next few months.

Really hard — possibly as bad as during COVID.

I'm betting on it.
