You should feel bad, but you don't...

[xPANCAKEx]

Every once in a while, we all do things which in the back of our head we think "man, you shouldn't feel good about this"... yet you ignore it through selfishness, happiness, or just plain old ambivilance

thread rules:
1) These must be things you've actually done... not things you're planning to do
2) Nothing trivial. Insignificant actions do not good story make
3) They must be LEGAL both in terms of the laws of your country, the US (where this board is based) and the boards code of conduct... bit of a no brainer - but needs stating every once in a while
4) If you feel guilty, you've kinda failed. No posting for you.

Apparently CE is alive and well

so i'll start
Today i joined another band. Im joining as replacement for their rythum guitarist. He doesn't know he's being replaced. I should feel bad, but i don't...

[Thatguyoverther]

Uh... I can't think of anything that fits the legal requirement.

[Arakune]

I should be doing my assigments. I managed to skip them for almost 4 hours. Speaking of it, I'm loggin off.

[Dragonrider]

I get obsessed with musical artists/bands. Not stalker-obsessed, but memorize-the-wikipedia-article-and-watch-every-single-interview-on-YouTube obsessed. And my taste isn't always that highbrow, either. My two biggest obsessions are Barenaked Ladies and Cat Stevens, both of whom are fairly cerebral, but lately it's been Mika. In addition to wasting hours finding out about the singers, I also listen to their music nonstop and become obsessed with collecting their entire discography.

...

I know. I live life on the edge.

[Icewalker]

I tend to have an overactive conscience. I do have a friend who is a psychopath though, so he doesn't have any guilt.

Generally I feel guilty over things that I shouldn't, not the other way around.

I was thinking the same thing.

[Phae Nymna]

I befriended someone online and posed as a 24 year old who lived in the middle of nowhere and continued to keep up the charade for a year and a half. I've recently apologized and feel much better.

On a more satisfying note, I totally wrecked a bastard who deserved it a few years ago. Have since then squashed it (bad) attempts at girlfriends.

[Coidzor]

Hmm. I can't think of anything board friendly that qualifies either.

[SDF]

Hey, I've been the person doing the band replacing before. Not the happiest moment when you tell your friend he hasn't progressed at all on drums in months. Luckily that wasn't for my band, rather one I was asked to start up.

[Lodlampa]

Uh... I can't think of anything that fits the legal requirement.

I'm having a similar issue: I'm thinking too deep into the situations and I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea if what I did was legal or not. Technically, I could get sued for anything I've done so that means everything is illegal. Why did you make this question so difficult?

[Solaris]

Uh... I can't think of anything that fits the legal requirement.

Heheheh. All of my stuff's legal under the law of war. Heheheh.

[KataraAltinaII]

probably just the weird stuff I've told customers at Sonic (I work there, and so taking orders is part of daily routine).

funny crap, especially "welcome to hell, this is Lucifer, may I take your order?", but not stuff that I should be laughing at...

right?

[arguskos]

Sadly, I can't think of anything that's totally legal either.

[KataraAltinaII]

Sadly, I can't think of anything that's totally legal either.

oh... we can't mention illegal stuff?

glad I stuck with the Sonic stuff then...

[arguskos]

Pancake laid down the law, and the law is no illegal stuff.

[Icewalker]

Actually that's more of a 'forum rules' thing, eh?

Katara, how've you been keeping your job with that? Just being really subtle about it?

[KataraAltinaII]

Pancake laid down the law, and the law is no illegal stuff.

yeah, just caught that.

but saying "welcome to your worst nightmare, this is Alice Cooper" isn't illegal--it's jsut weird, but hilarious.

[FoE]

I get this feeling whenever I watch Smallville.

[MethosH]

I need to say it! But I can't say it! The wrong person may read it! God damn it!
Oh... I shall write it in code!

Thats hilarious xD
I had a coworker at Safeway who did stuff like that. We were both cashiers- he would get a customer, smile at them and say stuff like 'the world is psychic' or put on a piker accent and move em through the till without another word.

[Keld Denar]

I ditched out on a blind date once. The girl only sent me one picture, which apparently was very old and very blurry. She was wearing about a pound of makeup, was drenched in some perfume that smelled like my grandmother, and was probably about 100 lbs overweight. Worst thing, according to her plans for the date, we were supposed to catch a ferry ride for a whole day on an island. I ended up excusing myself to the bathroom at the pier, called my buddy and asked him to call me back in a minute. I walked out of the bathroom and as sure enough, my phone rang. I picked it up, and in a really loud voice said "What? You can help me pick my new couch up? Oh? You have time now, but you can't do it tomorrow? Sounds good, I'll see you in 30 minutes." I then, as gracefully as possible bowed out of the date.

I was hanging out with the buddy at some later point when she started texting me, asking how the couch pick up went. I told her it was great, and I was just about to become involved with some group "adult activities" with my buddy and his fiance, and asked her if she wanted to join in. She declined, and I never heard from her again.

I should probably feel sorry for her, and feel bad for lying to her and saying those things...but it still makes a funny story to tell!

[Serpentine]

This, I think, doesn't involve any swear-words, at least, and isn't illegal...
I accidentally-on-purpose left a note calling my ex's new girlfriend a "bow-legged whore" in big scribbled letters on the kitchen table. It's kinda embarassing and petty, I know, but it just felt so... apt.

<.<

Hands up people who think less of me now v.v

[Quincunx]

I prefer nicking the "Bury her in a Y-shaped coffin" line from Blackadder, myself.

While I regret leaving my ex-boyfriend the way I did, other people. . .entangled themselves in the mess. I couldn't've planned that outcome any better than the emotional train wreck which followed. Does being a catalyst count?

Heheheh. All of my stuff's legal under the law of war. Heheheh.

I'm impressed. Not only is my response verboten by board rules, it was actually too short to post.

[Vmag]

Serpentine, you remind me of my wife

I'm sure I've had several of these moments, especially when I was modding for a major game developer's official web community. Their new Community Manager was a bit of a flake, so I had to pull the weight to make things interesting on top of my standard staff duties.

Included:

-Playing with the censor tools so that all "members" became "banned", or something more hilarious.

-Censoring all instance of wildcard *, so that the entirety of the community became whatever inane phrase popped up that moment. A proud tradition that continues to this day.

-Banning perfectly innocent members indefinitely, with a stern ban warning detailing just how they deserved this horrible punishment and that they should never show their face around there again. Then unbanning them five minutes later, and watching their shaking hands type out how frightening that was in the general chat thread.


I had fun

[_Zoot_]

Laughing when I watched a little year 7 get threatened with a detention because he was mucking around with the year 12s, he had been bundeled up in rope (as it was the 12s last day, it was all in good fun) but the school has a very strict policy, ONLY the 12s are allowed to take part in the fun. And thus this kid was left to try and untie him self until some one else came to help.

He cried!

And it really was EXTREMELY funny.

...

I am not a good person.

[Mauve Shirt]

Same. I was trying to think of a situation for this thread but I kept thinking "No, I feel bad about that."

[GoC]

3) They must be LEGAL both in terms of the laws of your country, the US (where this board is based) and the boards code of conduct... bit of a no brainer - but needs stating every once in a while

The board rules are a bit weird... we can't talk about illegal activities and yet we talk about murder, vandalism and theft (with the occasional torture and rape thrown in) all day on the roleplaying forum.

Serpy, I love you. Really.

My ex's ex (uncomplicate that yourself) was a real slut-puppy. (My ex was bi, so her ex was a girl. No hate there.) She cheated CONSTANTLY, then stalked us for a while after we started dating. So I got a buddy of mine who works at the police station to dig up her personal info - photos, address, phone numbers, vehicle info, etc. I made a fake profile on...several dating, social, and "adult" sites. And was kind enough to share that info with the Internet world. Oh yeah, and I posed as her, popped online every now and then to chat with perfect strangers and tell them to call between 3 and 4 AM, when I got out of work at the strip club.

...and you know what? I don't feel bad about it at all.

[xPANCAKEx]

some of you have failed miserably...

some of you however... PURE COMEDY GOLD. cookies and kudos to all of you.
