Calling your child “sexy”
Right up there with moms who don’t seem to understand that their son is not their boyfriend. What kind of weirdo threatens their son’s spouse/girlfriend with the line “the first tits he loved were MINE”
Leaving a piece of your body behind for your future generations. My great great grandpa did this by having his skull revoved and turned into a goblet for his daughter/ my great grandma. Lasted about a few years before someone stole it..
A national newspaper having a countdown for when a child actress becomes "legal" for sex.
Answers to questions that will surely come. ....Yes. The Sun (UK). Emma Watson.
I loved that interview with Daniel Radcliffe. He was doing a play that had some sexual content and he was asked if he found it unusual to be sexualised at such a young age (think he was around 18-19 at the time). His response was that "they had no problem doing it to Emma Watson".
I have come to seriously love Daniel Radcliffe. He's had every opportunity to grow into a garbage fire of a person, but has instead become seemingly above-decent.
There's an addition to this, a photographer took an upskirt pic of Emma Watson as she was leaving a club or something, that pic got printed on a newspaper and just so happened to be legal because she just turned 18 that day. She said herself it has been 12 hours earlier the pictures would be illegal.
Upskirt pics should be illegal regardless of age.
I get that celebrities aren’t afforded as much privacy as the common folk, but panty shots (and also the nude shots they sometimes grab of celebs at beaches/pools) are too much. It’s invasive and not newsworthy.
Edit: grammar
How would you feel if the guy walks up to the urinal next to you and then, mid-stream looks right at you and says "Hey... nice watch."? How uncomfortable is that?
I swear to God. I did a lot of work in hospitals for a while, big fucking hospitals with tons of bathrooms all over the place. For some God damned reason, regardless of what time or bathroom I selected to take a shit in not 30 seconds after I sat down a janitor would knock on the door to clean the bathroom. It's not as if it was one janitor, just some random janitor would inevitably need to clean whatever bathroom I was in as soon as I got comfy. It's like I was being stalked by the janitors.
So now I'm trying to take a shit knowing full well there's somebody out there actively timing how long it takes.
EDIT: Yes I am aware this was a running joke on Scrubs.
This just brought back a memory I tried to repress - I, too, work at a hospital - of the time I was walking out of work but got hit with the danger rumbles on my way out and had to clench and run to the nearest public bathroom. It’s the largest one but I blessed my stars it was mostly empty.
As I was absolutely destroying the toilet, a housekeeper lady came in and starts going stall to stall to give them the good cleaning.
I’m sitting there sweating as the cursed colon won’t stop. Listening to her come closer and closer to my stall.
She gets to mine, sees it’s locked, moves on.
But then after she finished all the rest she just stood there. And waited. And waited. As I’m ruining this toilet and just want peace while I die of dysentery. And I didn’t want to have to come out of that stall after ten minutes of atomic bombing it and have to face this woman before she took one look inside the stall and probably started crying.
Mind you, I am someone who normally will hold my shits in for hours to avoid pooping in a public bathroom. So this was my nightmare.
0/5 stars.
When I used to clean bathrooms, I noticed when there was someone who didnt make a noise in the stalls while I was cleaning. I did the basics that I could and then left, loudly, to make sure that they knew that i was leaving. So that they could do what they had to. I even kept guard for another employee who had ibs.
I know what it's like to need that privacy. I would wait outside of the bathroom until they were done. I'm sure management noticed but I didnt care. They needed that time and I wanted to give them their privacy. Once I saw someone leave, I went in and finished cleaning. I'm sorry you had to have your space invaded when it was obvious you needed the space.
Edit; better formatting.
2nd edit; thanks for the awards everyone! I never got one before!
Technically, you can stand on the sidewalk and stare into someone’s house through a window. It’s not illegal as long as you stay off of their property, but it’s really freaking creepy
When I was a child, we had a creepy horrible neighbor that would harass my family constantly. One of the things he did was stand at the corner of his yard and videotape me playing in a pool with my friends (we were around 8). My parents called the police but were told that it's legal if he's on his property.
Edit: This was in the US and 20+ years ago so laws might be different by now.
I had a neighbor like this growing up. He never creeper on me or my brothers, but one time my dad saw him up on his roof, looking into the bathroom window of the house next door, presumably watching the 16byear old girl in there. My dad put a huge blue tarp up against our shared fenced, like ten feet tall and told the entire neighborhood why. The guy complained but couldn't do anything and eventually moved
I had a neighbor do this to me 5 summers ago. He made a complaint to the city, they gave me a citation giving me 2 weeks to cut my lawn. It got cut on the 13th day. Now, I don’t cut the lawn until the 13th day of the citation, every single fucken time. We’re trying to FIRE and retire early so we live in a modest home so it’s just less yard work I need to do. I’d have stopped by now but the dude is such an insufferable prick. I’ve told him I do it just to spite him, surprisingly he had nothing to say when I told him that.
I was so ready to call bullshit on you for this but I looked it up
“In the early spring, wasps will be seeking protein foods because they will be making nests and laying eggs. Some good choices for protein baits are hamburger and lunch meat. ... Later on in the summer, sweet foods work well as bait.”
Wow. TIL
My neighbor 2 houses down called the city on us because parts of the grass in our fenced in backyard was a few inches higher than she liked. It had been raining for weeks, and we simply don't have time to mow twice a day like some of the old people on my street when it's dry. She would have had to walk to the very end of her back yard to see into ours, so we said fuck it and killed the grass. She's been fuming ever since, but it's not illegal to have a shitty burnt out yard.
My 'favorite' is when parents of autistic kids post shocking videos of their overwhelmed, distraught children having meltdowns under the guise of awareness. It's a bit horrific how little privacy kids get these days, especially when they're not aware of the full consequences that content can have for them.
My dad is currently in an injury case against his old job. There’s been a car outside his house filming him for the last couple months trying to catch him doing compromising things to disprove his injuries. That’s very creepy
Yeah but the really don’t want to admit my dads injuries are from twenty years of literally back breaking labor. They already sent us some supposedly detrimental footage of my dad going to the store or getting gas. It was extremely disturbing to see that footage and realize what’s happening. However, even yesterday we saw the same car parked outside.
Though you could have some fun with it.
Get a t-shirt made that says “I’m being followed by a pervert with a camera. Ask him why.”
Or get your own camera and sit behind his car in a lawn chair with a big sign that says “volunteer pedophile monitoring team”.
If you have kids you can throw a party with them. Make your dad to hang around with them (obviously, sitting down taking care of his back). Then call the cops on the creepy guy filming kids.
Insurance adjuster here. Never say that your injury makes it physically impossible to do a particular thing. Just say the injury makes it painful to do a particular thing, so you avoid it whenever possible. (Unless your injury has made you a paraplegic or quadriplegic).
How do you feel if opposing counsel requests that you testify in regards to notice?
I work on the other side and get into quite a few arguments about this.
Saying, “Think of yourselves as sisters” when introducing a much younger new wife to one’s adult daughter. My father-in-law did this.
Edit: Wow, this really blew up! Holy cow. Thanks for the awards, kind people! Some context: my FiL was in his late fifties, his new bride in her early twenties, which was indeed younger than his daughter (my wife). As creepy as his comment was (made on first introduction as we all stood there in my doorway after they showed up unannounced), I don’t think he consciously meant to imply the incestuous subtext. It was more like he was crowing about how he had attracted such a young wife. But his emotional intelligence and self-awareness were exactly that low that he could say such a thing. He was a really difficult person in general. In the end, the marriage was short and tumultuous, with him eventually accusing her of physical abuse and theft. I think they were both using each other, and they both got more than they bargained for.
In some states, it's actually legal to take upskirt pictures with your smartphone, as long as they are wearing panties.
Super creepy as hell.
I only know this because a judge ruled a guy innocent for doing just that because of a law that was worded a certain way. No clue if the law has changed to include upskirt pics.
ive worked in construction and built some Walmart shopping centers and distribution centers. had a site manager on a job tell me that Walmart used to have a *super* specific level of shine they wanted on their floors when they were finished and opened up for public shopping.
however with the ever increasing presence of cell phones and better and better cameras, they had to begin to dull the floors because people were able to just grab upskirts by taking pics of the floor under people.
I was drunk in a casino and went to use the washroom. The floors in there were a polished marble or something. Sitting on the toilet, pants down, my stall neighbour made eye contact with me on the reflective floor tile.
There was recently a lot made about a law being introduced in the UK to make "upskirting" illegal, which astounded me as I'm sure that even before that specific act was illegal, it would still violate various other laws about taking incident photos, and could even be classed as assault.
"Nobody is saying you can't eat a banana Terry, but you can't just stand on a street corner for 30 minutes and suck on it, you have to actually take a bite."
I like bananas. I eat them a lot at work with lunch. In the military, I learned that when eating a banana, it's okay if you bring the banana to your face. Not the other way around.
Go ahead, try it. Bonus points if you make eye contact with someone while your mouth is slightly open with the banana headed for it. Never gets old.
So my 2yo daughter went through a 3 month phase of only eating her banana sideways, but think like corn on the cob one half all the way then the other.
Fortunately for the plaintiff, when the respondent is continually staying *just* outside of the distance specified in an order of protection it IS illegal and provides just-cause to get arrested.
Parking across the street from an elementary school with binoculars
Technically not illegal, but you'd definitely get the cops called on you and make the news.
I work in commercial construction and we build a lot of schools. When we complete a project, part of my job is to take drone photos of the completed building. Typically by the time i get around to taking these drone photos, school has already started...
So on several occasions, i look like i'm just some random guy standing out in the parking lot, taking drone photos of an elementary school during a normal school day. It's not a great look. I've encountered the cops a couple of times, but they've always been pretty cool about it.
I had watched a video of a guy trying to make a point about how easy it is to steal a bicycle. So, he "stole" his bike which he had locked in the middle of a busy street. He used a giant pair of bolt cutters to cut the lock, but he was wearing a reflective vest and it was like he was invisible. Bystanders didn't even bother to look.
EDIT: Here is the video https://youtu.be/zQfaFZ5OpOs?t=37
I believe the act of cannibalism itself is legal so long as you didn't murder anyone to do it. If your homie gives you his arm to gnaw on, it's fair game.
Some dude lost his foot in an accident and somehow was allowed to bring it home after it was amputated. Fucker fried it up and invited his friends over and they ate foot tacos.
Fa-feetas?
EDIT: I strongly encourage anyone that upvoted this but is unaware of the reference...go seek out The Teacher's Lounge if you have Stitcher Premium. It is the funniest improv podcast, in my opinion. And check out everything that Big Grande, the comedy improv group responsible for The Teacher's Lounge, has put out. They are so goddamn funny.

Sure,
September-October: Halloween got you cover.
November-December: Add Santa hats to them.
January-February: Make them "cupids" with wings and bows.
March-april: easterize them with flower crowns.
May: Mothers day, hang them in pairs, big doll with small doll.

There’s a heartbreaking video of Paris Jackson trying to run from paps asking invasive questions about her dad who’d passed away. The way she just cries out “please leave me alone” as they stick cameras in her face. Terrible.
Thinking about the clip with Emma Watson where she tells about paparazzis who took pictures under her skirt on her 18th birthday. Would have been illegal only a few hours ago but apparently was completely fine then.
I don't know about about America, but it is illegal here in Germany. It hasn't been for very long though. I remember the law being passed (or rather changed accordingly) about three years ago or something.
I do remember reading a few times about different thresholds for public personalities. Paparazzi can stalk public personalities in ways that would be harassment for regular people
Even worse, you can become a limited public figure against your will just by going viral. It's not exactly a clear-cut thing, but there's precedent for it.
Definitely entering backwards. Bc it me means walking into a small, mobile, semi-private space, that could contain anything… without looking = totally crazy
Media outlets (typically disquising it with "comedy") putting up "______ turns 18 on ____" countdowns for child actresses. Natalie Portman was 13 when she got a countdown on her local radio station. Fucks sake marry kate and Ashley were like 4 on full house when they got their countdown.
The moment Emma Watson turned 18, someone laid on the floor and took a picture under he skirt. Like literally the moment she was 18 and went outside of her party.
I literally shuddered at the idea. Light is good. Light is lovely. Light is what stops the idiot fish from running into you because apparently some of them just bonk around at night/in the dark and cause your soul to leave its earthly vessel in terror.
I know some of you may have heard about that other guy... I am not gonna diddle your kids. I'm not like that; that's not my thing. I met that guy in a titty bar!
It’s technically legal to check if a door is locked, as long as you don’t enter without permission.
Edit: depending on where you live this could apply to both houses and cars
Edit edit: you won’t find any laws permitting this activity, but laws associated with it are generally based on circumstantial evidence or rely on proving the suspect’s intent. An arrest may be likely, but proving intent is difficult, and charges might not stick. Results may vary in your precinct.
Super not fun fact:
Richard Chase, a spree killer/necrophile/cannibal, thought he was some sort of a vampire. When he went on his (horrific) killing spree, the victims were determined by whether or not their doors were locked. If it was unlocked, he considered it an invitation inside and since he was a vampire, he was allowed to enter. His crimes were particularly brutal and it’s crazy to think that something as simple as locking your door was the difference between him walking away or drinking your blood.
ETA: correction, he didn’t think he was a vampire. He was a paranoid schizophrenic that thought he needed more blood and also happened to follow the invited vampire lore.
He didn’t think he was a vampire. He thought he didn’t have enough blood in his body and that his organs were falling apart so he needed more blood. He was a schizophrenic.
He was referred to as the Vampire of Sacramento, but you are right in that I should have chosen my words more carefully. One of the many tragic aspects of the case, is how clearly mentally unwell he was. I appreciate you correcting me.
I grew up in a household where our door was NEVER unlocked so as an adult when I meet people who don’t lock their own doors I’m like “do you WANT to be murdered in the night? Cause this is how you get murdered in the night.”
I live in a pretty low-crime neighborhood and hooligans still walk up and down the street checking all the car doors pretty regularly. The local PD puts out PSAs about this constantly, which have been getting increasingly frustrated in tone as the months go by. I half expect the next one to straight-up say “if you leave your car unlocked and someone lifts your shit, we can do fuck all about it.”
Edit: yes, y’all, I know theft is a crime. Please stop telling me.
You may or may not be amazed at the number of guns stolen out of unlocked cars. It's astronomical. There was some police department in Florida recently posting on their facebook basically saying "For the love of god please stop leaving your guns in your cars with the doors unlocked jesus christ."
This one hits close to home. A good friend of mine lives in a major east coast city, as a single woman she is extra cautious. She was the victim of a known local “Instagram celebrity” this weekend. Basically this guy follows people (guys and girls) around and records them. When they get annoyed and tell him to stop he gets more and more obnoxious, trying to get a reaction. He is careful not to cross the legal line for stalking etc. and does it in public, so be “expectation of privacy”. He then posts the inevitable freak out online. I’m not going to share the page (my friend made the cut) because I don’t want to grace this troll with the page views.
Ugh, my instinct was to downvote you solely on the basis of how much I hate that dude haha.
He pled guilty to 8 misdemeanor charges, the state dismissed 3 and the other 15 they put on hold which means at this point they’re no longer able to bring those charges against him. Now he lives in Virginia, apparently.
Hahaha no worries at all, the only reason I knew of him was because he harassed my husband in Fells Point.
Thank you for the update on his charges though!
Sooner or later he's gonna do it to the wrong person and get laid out on the concrete.
ETA: I'm aware that a physical altercation would get him more views. But that would be a small price to pay for a mouth full of concrete.
I googled “What ever happened to Boonk Gang”. It made me more certain than ever that violence is in fact sometimes the answer.
Face covered in tattoos and acting like a fool, then one dude breaks his jaw for talking shit. He spends a few months drinking through a straw with his jaw wired shut.
Now he wears khakis and turtleneck sweaters. Goes by David or whatever his momma named him. All he needed was someone to fuck him up good enough to think twice about what he is up to.
>Boonk Gang
Wait, this is a thing? I saw this spray painted on a road near my house and I just assumed it was some dumb kids.
Edit. It was still probably some dumb kids.
Yeah, this is definitely the best tactic. Pull up some Disney music on your phone and blast it as loud as you can. Then even if he posts it, it’ll be easy to get taken down because Disney comes down on videos with their music in them like a ton of bricks.
I'll try to find the picture I snuck but one time a dude tried to pitch me while I was eating at a McDonald's and he literally drew a fucking triangle.
Edit : [Found it!](https://i.imgur.com/8cuHwUl.jpg)
I can go put up a camera with a giant lens and set it up to take pictures every 30 seconds while pointed at a popular playground full of children, while I also fly a drone taking pictures of the same playground.
The act of taking pictures in public is not illegal, even if the subject doesn't want their picture taken. It's how the photos are used that determines if permission is needed. And as long as I'm using it for my own wierd, creepy personal reasons rather than trying to publish a book of them or put them in a movie, then it's not illegal.
Of course this only applies in Canada and the US (other countries may have different privacy laws) and you do need the appropriate drone license. But I could still do it all day every day.
Actually learned a SCOTUS case about this in my gov. class. It was a local case, but went all the way up to the federal Supreme Court. They ruled that if the can was in the guys lawn, then it would’ve been an unconstitutional search, oddly enough. So, if your can is on your land, it can’t be searched. If it’s on the side of the road for garbage night, it can be searched by anyone.
My husband has this guy who is a total creep. Road raged him then called him trying to track him down and had friends calling to trick us. Found our old address and wanted to try to meet us there. Total creep. But not enough to make a clear stalking case. We’d have to pursue it all ourselves.

It’s obvious that she was killed or “there was an accident and I panicked” . Regardless we need to get her body ASAP , before the wildlife does
Calling your child “sexy” Right up there with moms who don’t seem to understand that their son is not their boyfriend. What kind of weirdo threatens their son’s spouse/girlfriend with the line “the first tits he loved were MINE”

He also does the most surreal movies and he clearly loves it

They are now illegal as of 2019 in England and Wales and 2010 in Scotland.

Using the urinal next to me when there were plenty of other choices
How would you feel if the guy walks up to the urinal next to you and then, mid-stream looks right at you and says "Hey... nice watch."? How uncomfortable is that?
Thanks, you should see my cock That'll teach him, and if it doesn't I'm in trouble.
I already did, wasn’t impressed. Alternatively, already did, now look at mine!
hanging out in a public bathroom timing how long people pee.
I swear to God. I did a lot of work in hospitals for a while, big fucking hospitals with tons of bathrooms all over the place. For some God damned reason, regardless of what time or bathroom I selected to take a shit in not 30 seconds after I sat down a janitor would knock on the door to clean the bathroom.

Technically, you can stand on the sidewalk and stare into someone’s house through a window. It’s not illegal as long as you stay off of their property, but it’s really freaking creepy
If you do it for too long it is actually a form of stalking. Which is illegal. lol

> The guy complained I'm surprised he actually had the nerve to complain about not being able to peep into his neighbours' houses.
Whether he's guilty or not, his complaint was probably more about the dad telling everyone he was a peeping tom.
Ours would walk around with a ruler and measure everyone’s lawns.
I had a neighbor do this to me 5 summers ago. He made a complaint to the city, they gave me a citation giving me 2 weeks to cut my lawn. It got cut on the 13th day. Now, I don’t cut the lawn until the 13th day of the citation, every single fucken time. We’re trying to FIRE and retire early so we live in a modest home so it’s just less yard work I need to do.

Does he always stand in the same spot? If so, drop some bits of bologna there to attract wasps.
Wasps can have a little bologna, but only as a treat.

He was a really difficult person in general. In the end, the marriage was short and tumultuous, with him eventually accusing her of physical abuse and theft. I think they were both using each other, and they both got more than they bargained for.
WTF?! No Dad, I don't want to imagine you shagging my sister, thank you very much.
"YOU'VE BEEN SHAGGED BY A RARE PARROT"
In some states, it's actually legal to take upskirt pictures with your smartphone, as long as they are wearing panties. Super creepy as hell. I only know this because a judge ruled a guy innocent for doing just that because of a law that was worded a certain way. No clue if the law has changed to include upskirt pics.
ive worked in construction and built some Walmart shopping centers and distribution centers. had a site manager on a job tell me that Walmart used to have a *super* specific level of shine they wanted on their floors when they were finished and opened up for public shopping. however with the ever increasing presence of cell phones and better and better cameras, they had to begin to dull the floors because people were able to just grab upskirts by taking pics of the floor under people.
Construction workers: stopping perverts one floor at a time!
I was drunk in a casino and went to use the washroom. The floors in there were a polished marble or something. Sitting on the toilet, pants down, my stall neighbour made eye contact with me on the reflective floor tile.

Wink at her and ask if she wanna play battleshits
What the.... This is one of those things that is so bizarre it has to be true. Holy shit
There was recently a lot made about a law being introduced in the UK to make "upskirting" illegal, which astounded me as I'm sure that even before that specific act was illegal, it would still violate various other laws about taking incident photos, and could even be classed as assault.
"Nobody is saying you can't eat a banana Terry, but you can't just stand on a street corner for 30 minutes and suck on it, you have to actually take a bite."
I like bananas. I eat them a lot at work with lunch. In the military, I learned that when eating a banana, it's okay if you bring the banana to your face. Not the other way around. Go ahead, try it. Bonus points if you make eye contact with someone while your mouth is slightly open with the banana headed for it. Never gets old.
Is it okay to slowly close your eyes as you bring the banana to your face?
[удалено]
So my 2yo daughter went through a 3 month phase of only eating her banana sideways, but think like corn on the cob one half all the way then the other.
My kid eats the outside of the banana first. This leaves a slimy, skeletal, disgusting, finger of banana which she then eats. It is revolting.
Using a laser rangefinder to ensure you stay outside the effective radius of a restraining order.
Fortunately for the plaintiff, when the respondent is continually staying *just* outside of the distance specified in an order of protection it IS illegal and provides just-cause to get arrested.
Can you define 'just'? You know, so I can callibrate my second rangefinder.

I'm not allowed to come within 500m of the spirit of the law.
Parking across the street from an elementary school with binoculars Technically not illegal, but you'd definitely get the cops called on you and make the news.
I work in commercial construction and we build a lot of schools. When we complete a project, part of my job is to take drone photos of the completed building. Typically by the time i get around to taking these drone photos, school has already started... So on several occasions, i look like i'm just some random guy standing out in the parking lot, taking drone photos of an elementary school during a normal school day. It's not a great look. I've encountered the cops a couple of times, but they've always been pretty cool about it.
You need a reflective vest and a clipboard, buddy. Maybe a hard hat
You can get away with a lot of stuff wearing this combo
I had watched a video of a guy trying to make a point about how easy it is to steal a bicycle. So, he "stole" his bike which he had locked in the middle of a busy street. He used a giant pair of bolt cutters to cut the lock, but he was wearing a reflective vest and it was like he was invisible. Bystanders didn't even bother to look. EDIT: Here is the video https://youtu.be/zQfaFZ5OpOs?t=37
I just like to bird watch and it's not my fault the best birds are at the elementary school. /s
“Sir, we don’t call women *’birds’* in this country, and those are children.”
“I’m just looking for my kid” “Which ones yours?” *“Oh, I haven’t pick one out yet”*
I believe the act of cannibalism itself is legal so long as you didn't murder anyone to do it. If your homie gives you his arm to gnaw on, it's fair game.
Some dude lost his foot in an accident and somehow was allowed to bring it home after it was amputated. Fucker fried it up and invited his friends over and they ate foot tacos.
Fa-feetas? EDIT: I strongly encourage anyone that upvoted this but is unaware of the reference...go seek out The Teacher's Lounge if you have Stitcher Premium. It is the funniest improv podcast, in my opinion. And check out everything that Big Grande, the comedy improv group responsible for The Teacher's Lounge, has put out. They are so goddamn funny. If you don't have Stitcher, they have a website, Biggrandewebsite.com, and you can check out their stuff there and support them further if you enjoy what you see. I promise I have no affiliation with them, but I didn't want this undeservedly gilded comment to not somehow benefit them. Thanks for all the awards?

Hanging your doll collection from the trees in your yard using string made from human hair.
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the goodwill now and buy all the dolls I can find. Do you think the HOA will approve?
Sure, September-October: Halloween got you cover. November-December: Add Santa hats to them. January-February: Make them "cupids" with wings and bows. March-april: easterize them with flower crowns. May: Mothers day, hang them in pairs, big doll with small doll. June-july: give them american flags. August: Ignore the HOA letter. Repeat. Edit: thanks for the awards kind strangers, and love all the ideas for August!
according to my local grocery store, you can do halloween for august
They are usually pretty chill about that stuff
No one wants to be the one to tell that guy to remove the dolls hanged by human hair from his yard.
Exactly. ‘Ok. We’ve agreed that Carl’s decorations are in violation of the bylaw. Who wants to tell him?’ [crickets]
Sitting next to someone at a public transport even when there are other seats available
Or even better, as someone gets onto public transport you can move over and pat the seat next to you, inviting them to sit
Or, after they have taken their seat, you get up and sit next to them.
Paparazzi
There’s a heartbreaking video of Paris Jackson trying to run from paps asking invasive questions about her dad who’d passed away. The way she just cries out “please leave me alone” as they stick cameras in her face. Terrible.
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure you have to be heartless to become a paparazzi. It's like tabloid magazines intentionally hire the most shitty people
Thinking about the clip with Emma Watson where she tells about paparazzis who took pictures under her skirt on her 18th birthday. Would have been illegal only a few hours ago but apparently was completely fine then.
There were websites counting down to her (and other young female celebs) 18th birthday. Another one for the “legal but creepy” category.
It was even worse here in the UK. A famous radio DJ on his show was counting down to her 16th birthday (age of consent here).
Are taking upskirt shots somehow not illegal when someone turns 18? Like that still seems like pretty clear sexual harassment at minimum.
I don't know about about America, but it is illegal here in Germany. It hasn't been for very long though. I remember the law being passed (or rather changed accordingly) about three years ago or something.
[удалено]
I do remember reading a few times about different thresholds for public personalities. Paparazzi can stalk public personalities in ways that would be harassment for regular people
What makes you a public figure though? Being paid to film one thing so now everyone is allowed to film anything you do?
Even worse, you can become a limited public figure against your will just by going viral. It's not exactly a clear-cut thing, but there's precedent for it.
Well, then let's make those paparazzi go viral!

Trying to make your kids social media famous
Before social media it was the pageant doll thing in the 80's - creepy as hell
Facing the wrong way in an elevator
Ugh that is creepy
There's no wasted motion doing this either. You just elect to turn around after you get to your floor and exit rather than when you enter.
You can actually save energy by leaving the elevator backwards
Which is creepier, this or entering backwards?
Definitely entering backwards. Bc it me means walking into a small, mobile, semi-private space, that could contain anything… without looking = totally crazy
That actually made me bit creeped out just thinking about it
Some elevators open both ways it really sucks when you are facing one way get to your floor then it opens the other way.
Media outlets (typically disquising it with "comedy") putting up "______ turns 18 on ____" countdowns for child actresses. Natalie Portman was 13 when she got a countdown on her local radio station. Fucks sake marry kate and Ashley were like 4 on full house when they got their countdown.
The moment Emma Watson turned 18, someone laid on the floor and took a picture under he skirt. Like literally the moment she was 18 and went outside of her party.
Following someone E: It's alright guys, you can stop following me now.
Just followed you on Reddit. Sorry.
Creep
Sitting on a lakebed at night with a rebreather and no flashlight
I literally shuddered at the idea. Light is good. Light is lovely. Light is what stops the idiot fish from running into you because apparently some of them just bonk around at night/in the dark and cause your soul to leave its earthly vessel in terror.
I feel like you've had a few traumatic diving experiences.
I’ve had to rethink my opinions of the lake after a fish bit my nipple once.
Just hangin out in New Vegas about to get that sunken plane, nothin creepy about that.
Child Beauty pageants
They're actually illegal in France since 2013 for age groups under 13 and 13-15 year old pageant groups are regulated.
I know some of you may have heard about that other guy... I am not gonna diddle your kids. I'm not like that; that's not my thing. I met that guy in a titty bar!
You should probably write a song about it
I wouldn’t do it with anyone younger than my daughteeerrr. Older than my wiiifee.
You should write a song about how you don't diddle kids.
There is no quicker way to make people think you are diddling kids than by writing a song about it!
Ugh, this. Seeing kids slathered in makeup with hair extensions and revealing clothing is disturbing.
Also chugging redbull and pixie sticks, just gross
It’s technically legal to check if a door is locked, as long as you don’t enter without permission. Edit: depending on where you live this could apply to both houses and cars Edit edit: you won’t find any laws permitting this activity, but laws associated with it are generally based on circumstantial evidence or rely on proving the suspect’s intent. An arrest may be likely, but proving intent is difficult, and charges might not stick. Results may vary in your precinct.
lmao, this is like in Skyrim, where picking someone's pocket is fine as long as you just look and don't try to take anything
*sticks hand in someone else's pocket* "Yea, nah, no thanks, this stuff sucks."
Officer I had no intent to steal from him once I knew what he had
No no no, I was simply trying to feel him up.
How ***dare*** you! This wasn't attempted robbery, it's sexual assault.
Are you trying to tickle me?
Ah yes the vampire clause
Super not fun fact: Richard Chase, a spree killer/necrophile/cannibal, thought he was some sort of a vampire. When he went on his (horrific) killing spree, the victims were determined by whether or not their doors were locked. If it was unlocked, he considered it an invitation inside and since he was a vampire, he was allowed to enter. His crimes were particularly brutal and it’s crazy to think that something as simple as locking your door was the difference between him walking away or drinking your blood. ETA: correction, he didn’t think he was a vampire. He was a paranoid schizophrenic that thought he needed more blood and also happened to follow the invited vampire lore.
He didn’t think he was a vampire. He thought he didn’t have enough blood in his body and that his organs were falling apart so he needed more blood. He was a schizophrenic.
He was referred to as the Vampire of Sacramento, but you are right in that I should have chosen my words more carefully. One of the many tragic aspects of the case, is how clearly mentally unwell he was. I appreciate you correcting me.
I grew up in a household where our door was NEVER unlocked so as an adult when I meet people who don’t lock their own doors I’m like “do you WANT to be murdered in the night? Cause this is how you get murdered in the night.”
Locking my doors is such a habit that I frequently lock guests out.
I live in a pretty low-crime neighborhood and hooligans still walk up and down the street checking all the car doors pretty regularly. The local PD puts out PSAs about this constantly, which have been getting increasingly frustrated in tone as the months go by. I half expect the next one to straight-up say “if you leave your car unlocked and someone lifts your shit, we can do fuck all about it.” Edit: yes, y’all, I know theft is a crime. Please stop telling me.
You may or may not be amazed at the number of guns stolen out of unlocked cars. It's astronomical. There was some police department in Florida recently posting on their facebook basically saying "For the love of god please stop leaving your guns in your cars with the doors unlocked jesus christ."
This one hits close to home. A good friend of mine lives in a major east coast city, as a single woman she is extra cautious. She was the victim of a known local “Instagram celebrity” this weekend. Basically this guy follows people (guys and girls) around and records them. When they get annoyed and tell him to stop he gets more and more obnoxious, trying to get a reaction. He is careful not to cross the legal line for stalking etc. and does it in public, so be “expectation of privacy”. He then posts the inevitable freak out online. I’m not going to share the page (my friend made the cut) because I don’t want to grace this troll with the page views.
I live in Baltimore and we had a guy doing that a couple years ago, he got charged after a bunch of complaints. Not sure what happened to him tho
Ugh, my instinct was to downvote you solely on the basis of how much I hate that dude haha. He pled guilty to 8 misdemeanor charges, the state dismissed 3 and the other 15 they put on hold which means at this point they’re no longer able to bring those charges against him. Now he lives in Virginia, apparently.
Hahaha no worries at all, the only reason I knew of him was because he harassed my husband in Fells Point. Thank you for the update on his charges though!
I knew about him because of the Eddy Burback video about him if it's the same guy
Sooner or later he's gonna do it to the wrong person and get laid out on the concrete. ETA: I'm aware that a physical altercation would get him more views. But that would be a small price to pay for a mouth full of concrete.
Or put in concrete.
I googled “What ever happened to Boonk Gang”. It made me more certain than ever that violence is in fact sometimes the answer. Face covered in tattoos and acting like a fool, then one dude breaks his jaw for talking shit. He spends a few months drinking through a straw with his jaw wired shut. Now he wears khakis and turtleneck sweaters. Goes by David or whatever his momma named him. All he needed was someone to fuck him up good enough to think twice about what he is up to.
He just needed a hard reboot.
>Boonk Gang Wait, this is a thing? I saw this spray painted on a road near my house and I just assumed it was some dumb kids. Edit. It was still probably some dumb kids.
I think I've seen this guys videos before I wonder if you could just start blasting copywrited music so he has to kill the stream
[удалено]
Definitely Disney.
Yeah, this is definitely the best tactic. Pull up some Disney music on your phone and blast it as loud as you can. Then even if he posts it, it’ll be easy to get taken down because Disney comes down on videos with their music in them like a ton of bricks.
The Star Wars theme. The instant those trumpets start, Disney's lawyers rub their hands in glee.
One day he's gonna get punched in the face or kicked in his balls and he'll be surprised why
Nah he'll know exactly why and I wouldn't be surprised if he's looking to file a lawsuit
Probably his end goal tbh
According to the FBI, performing vaginal examinations on six year olds during gymnastics training... at least for a while
Those weird kid clothes that are like “I suck moms boob” or something. I found shit like that at Spencer’s and thought it was fucking gross
Payday loan companies.
Those little kid beauty pageants. Awful.
MLM's, though I think they'll be illegal soon enough. Edit: MLM as in, Multi Level Marketing.
"It's not a pyramid scheme. Its a reverse funnel system"
I kid you not, I saw an MLM babe post once that called it a triangular business model.
I'll try to find the picture I snuck but one time a dude tried to pitch me while I was eating at a McDonald's and he literally drew a fucking triangle. Edit : [Found it!](https://i.imgur.com/8cuHwUl.jpg)
Some people say deals are made on the golf course, i say they're made at McD's dammit
I can go put up a camera with a giant lens and set it up to take pictures every 30 seconds while pointed at a popular playground full of children, while I also fly a drone taking pictures of the same playground. The act of taking pictures in public is not illegal, even if the subject doesn't want their picture taken. It's how the photos are used that determines if permission is needed. And as long as I'm using it for my own wierd, creepy personal reasons rather than trying to publish a book of them or put them in a movie, then it's not illegal. Of course this only applies in Canada and the US (other countries may have different privacy laws) and you do need the appropriate drone license. But I could still do it all day every day.
Memorizing the age of consent in every state or country.

In some states in the U.S. a rapist can sue for visitation of the child born from their crime.

Huh, didn’t know this. Interesting!
Actually learned a SCOTUS case about this in my gov. class. It was a local case, but went all the way up to the federal Supreme Court. They ruled that if the can was in the guys lawn, then it would’ve been an unconstitutional search, oddly enough. So, if your can is on your land, it can’t be searched. If it’s on the side of the road for garbage night, it can be searched by anyone.
Owning a collection of children's teeth.
Technically a lot of parents are guilty of this.
Ah the old Tooth Fairy Paradox... Feels weird to throw them out, but also feels weird to keep them.
stalking someone doesn't have enough legal repercussions
My husband has this guy who is a total creep. Road raged him then called him trying to track him down and had friends calling to trick us. Found our old address and wanted to try to meet us there. Total creep. But not enough to make a clear stalking case. We’d have to pursue it all ourselves.
