This is it. Don't get scared now.

Meanwhile, my neighbor kicked my dog, threatened to shoot my other dog, and then came onto my property and threatened to hurt me in front of my kids. To this day, he's confused about why I don't want to be his friend or talk to him.

....all because my little dog smelled his chicken, which he didn't even have enclosed, which is the law

He came on your property and threatened you with physical violence?

How did that not end with the cops? You would be well in your rights to defend yourself

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It did. But they said WE were in the wrong because our dogs were unleashed.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

Gotcha.

That may be true, but unleashed dogs and loose chickens do not permit someone to trespass and threaten, especially when you are supervising children. (Implication being if you are the supervisor/parent, and harmed, the children are left vulnerable with the aggressor.)

You have to leash your dogs on your own property? I've never heard of such a thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Their yard wasn't enclosed, so our dog got into his yard to smell his chickens. We were told our dog needed to be leashed or in a fenced-in yard. Meanwhile, they apparently didn't have to.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like his animals were staying on his property and yours were not. You were in the wrong. He overreacted but don't let your pets wander on other people's property.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Legally, he's supposed to have his chickens fenced in. Just like we are supposed to have a fenced in yard, actually. So we're both actually "wrong". Barging into my property threatening to hurt me in front of my kids isn't simply an "overreaction" either.

Sniper-man could be anyone. Even you!

Yup we're clearly missing some obvious piece of context in here

Twist; the car owner was working on his car

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Nah doesn't look the same

[–] [email protected] 56 points 4 months ago (3 children)

We all should have a friendly neighborhood sniper-man

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does whatever a sniper can

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does he shoot? Yes he can. That's why he's, sniper man.

Sniper-Man, Sniper-Man,

Does whatever a Sniper can

Shoots BBs any size,

When converter thieves arrive.

Look out, here comes the Sniper-Man

Is he strong?

Listen, bud-

He's got regular human blood.

He can shoot at your head.

You can run, you won't be dead.

Hey there, there goes the Sniper-Man

Yeah! I can't foresee any potential problems with that. It's not like we have anybody else who is given guns and claim to "protect and serve". Also I'm sure everybody would be very comfortable with always being watched from above through the optics of a high powered rifle.

(To be clear I know you're joking. Hence the thick layer of /s)

I like how they intentionally crossed out the correctly spelled brand name that this fake note is trying to push.

Some jacked on uppers marketing bro thinks he is a complete genius for this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Thought that was a generic term, so that’s nice. Xerox that trademark!

If it’s real, RIP the person whose house the car was parked outside. The strap I’m most worried about is tucked into the losers’ waistbands.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tangentially related: I was driving in kinda-rural SE Pennsylvania last year and I passed an auto repair place that had a big lit-up sign that said "WE BUY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS". It was so blatant that I figured for sure it was a police honeypot, but if it wasn't, that's just all kinds of fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

It could be a police honeypot, but if it was a small town or something, they may just pay the cops off.

And that's the last time I tried to change my own oil at the apartment complex...

Whoever this person is I will buy them a case of beer or whatever they want.

Once when I worked in a pediatric hospital, a nurse went to drive home from the underground parking lot, and the car was making a terrible racket, so she went to the mechanic and her converter has been stolen. Like stealing from nurses at a pediatric hospital full of sick and dying children is pretty disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Wow. That person should be subjected to a BB gun firing squad

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

The hero we need.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I like how they crossed out catstrap and rewrote catstrap. "no, that's not what it's called... Hey frank what's that thing called to strap down the cat converter? A catstrap? Oh OK that was it..."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Good tactic for selling car straps. Maybe he runs a catstrap company in the area.

Would a bb do much at all? If i caught someone in that position i dont think a bb would be persuasive enough

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not a thief, but I would probably stop whatever I was doing if I started getting pelted with BBs. Lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Also not a thief but I've seen what a BB does to flesh. Definitely in the "stop what you're doing immediately" category.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (8 children)

Stings like a motherfucker, can break skin depending on the BB material and velocity. It also sends a clear message; I can see and hit you from here.

Bro, bb guns shoot through metal buckets. My friends and I used to shoot bb guns at all sorts of objects. So yes. You could absolutely fuck someone up with a bb gun.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well you would also become aware that someone is watching you and not approving of what you are up to.

Unless they're going to kill you for whatever they want to steal that will usually deter them.

It depends. A bed and bath is pretty relaxing. You'll probably end up being friends afterwards.
