Y'know what really grinds my gears?

shift+enter = next line

I know, but why? It makes it ridiculously easy to accidentally post things.

Pretty standard behaviour isn't it? Shift+Enter in a word processing package to jump to the next line without creating a paragraph break. Same thing if you want to enter mutiple lines of text in a single spreadsheet cell or most standard form/textboxes.

I do still sometimes fuck it up in all of these places.

Difference being, of course, that accidentally hitting 'enter' without holding shift in a word processor doesn't instantly publish or send what you were writing.

Fucking Facebook! Where 'Socialism' means "caving in the heads of cripples!" And did you know that Europe is apparently responsible for the sale of the Rail/Steel/Royal Mail industries and soon the NHS.

So much Fucking stupidity and people actually believe it!

Pffft!

[Something Fishy]

It's so frustrating, makes me think a referendum on something so important was a bad idea.

What is even scarier is they breed as well!

Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

I enjoy a well-informed, reasonable debate but you just get the above.

This might be a bit lengthy so apologies...

Just found out my dad got into a bit of a fracas with a couple of guys while out walking the dog with my sister. It's a small town and Jack is a tiny wee well behaved dog so we generally just put him on a leash near the main road.

Apparently on this occasion he took a few steps down someone's driveway and the owner went completely nuts, him and his son screaming about how if they didn't get the dog on a leash they'd kill it and kill them. The guy was squaring up to my dad chest to chest while his son yelled 'hit him dad!', my dad (terrified) shouted at him to back off, my sister tried to step in and was pushed out the way by the son, she pushed back and the son started yelling about assault.

It ended with my dad and sis walking away while they shouted that if they ever saw her or the dog again they'd kill them both.

Feeling pretty shaken up, she called the police who came round and took statements, then went to visit the guys in question...then returned and charged my sister with assault and my dad with breach of the peace.

Apparently the version of events they're going with is that my sister attacked the son unprovoked, my dad was shouting and threatening and tried to headbutt the other guy (there's no way this happened, my dad is 70 and was terrified), and they were just trying to calm them down. The guy got his wife to give a statement as a witness (she wasn't there), and that seems to have tipped it.

My dad is really shaken up and upset about it all. I don't even know what happens when you get charged with something like that, but the idea that there are people out there who think that a rational response to a dog sniffing your hedge is to pick a fight with a 70 year old man and his daughter is mad.

Sorry for the ramble, pretty upset about it all and for how my paw and sis must be feeling so had to vent.

[TordelBack]

Bloody hell, Keef! Not much consolation when the damage is already halfway done, but my personal experience of these kinds of things is that courts can usually detect bullshit nuisance cases when they see them, and there is nothing judges hate more than having their time wasted. Very sorry to hear your family subjected to this.

[JamesC]

Yeah, it almost certainly won't go anywhere. To be honest, if they're the kind of people who pick fights so easily, they may well be known to the police locally.

[Keef Monkey]

Thanks, it helps to hear that. This board is always good for putting things in perspective!

It's caused a fair bit of distress (and I'm sure my dad probably thinks he's going to jail or something!) so it's reassuring to know it might not be as scary as it sounds. It's just mad really that something that silly can escalate like that, hopefully like you say nothing will come of it.
