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

Nah, just next time you're stealing a cat, use floodlights and hi-viz, no one will even look at you.

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.

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

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.

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

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..."

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

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 56 points 3 days ago

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

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

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

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 27 points 3 days 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.)

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

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

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 10 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

A lot of people seem to be invested in this and need context. This happened a couple of years ago. He and I always had open door policies because our dogs were playmates. My dogs were used to going over there regularly, and they always played and were gentle with his chickens. My smaller dog went over there, just like he was so used to doing, smelled my neighbors chicken for about 2 seconds, then went to find his dog friend. My neighbor was very drunk, and kicked my small dog and tried saying he was going to "kill" his chickens, but we all watched as he just smelled his chicken, like he always did, and moved on. Then he threatened to shoot my husky, who wasn't actually on their property, but outside of it, along with one of his chickens, which also wasn't on his property. My husky sniffed the chicken and then ignored it. As he said that he was actively hopping the fence and on MY property. Then he got in my face and threatened to hurt me, all while my kids watched, simply because I told him his behavior was bullshit since all our animals were playmates, that they always came into his property and vice versa, and that hes even encouraged it, and gave them treats, just like we did with his dogs, and that his chickens are supposed to be enclosed and not wandering around (since it was now an issue for him). This was after we initially tried apologizing in a civil manner. He still did this. We called the cops, and they lied through their teeth (he and his wife) and said both my dogs attacked his chickens and drew blood (which 100% did NOT happen). Cops said we were in the wrong because our dogs need to be leashed, but again, we looked into it, and yes, even though we were lead to believe that our dogs were allowed over their anytime, our dogs cannot wander into someone else's property, otherwise they have a right to shoot them I guess. But he was also in the wrong, because his animals weren't in an enclosed area either. My partner refused to press charges because she said "he was just drunk" but I called bullshit and very much wanted to press charges.

I thought he and I were cool before this. I let him hunt on my property, he would give us some of the things he's grown, etc. Now I just ignore him and keep our animals leashed on our property. He keeps trying to be my friend. One day I had to tell him to leave me alone please, and he and his friend tried to threaten me again.

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

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.
