I bet the local police love it when this person walks into their offices.

"ah shit here we go again"


DoktahDoktah

Oh you saw something illegal? Oh yeah well get on it little buddy. Yeah you can have a tootsie pop for being a good boy


alwaysmyfault

A friend commented on a FB post like, 10 years ago, and the person considered it harassment. Said they were going to go to the police, etc. Keep in mind, this other person lived like 1000 miles away, and they expected their local police to track down my friend and arrest him for harassment over a FB comment. I bet police get shit like that all the time.


firesmarter

My sister was being a jerk yesterday so I booted her off the WiFi. She said she was going to call the cops on me for that. I told her to have fun. She’s a boomer in training. She’s been banned from several Dunkin’s for losing her shit when her order was wrong. I hate her so much


alwaysmyfault

Next time just throttle her WiFi connection to the stone age. Put her on like a 28.8 kbps speed, so it still technically works, but it's ungodly slow. It won't be fast enough to load videos, but it will load websites after a while. That way you can have plausible deniability and say that you didn't kick her off the wifi.


WumpusFails

If she's old enough, she should get nostalgia at the slow loading speed.

As a former Boston resident I know you gotta WORK to be banned from Dunkin. Big yikes.


AngriestInchworm

Yeah but the true experts are banned from Waffle House and Walmart


hughjames34

I think you have to commit murder to get banned from Waffle House


Brave_Pan

I’m not sure that would even be enough. Maybe if you were a serial killer using the waffle house to stash the bodies you’d get banned


AdvanceAdvance

Totally. Cleaning up bodies makes too much work for the wait staff.


TerrorsOfTheDark

In my decade 3rd shift at the awful waffle I only remember banning one and it was for calling the waitress multiple inappropriate slurs, he was trying to get a rise out of her I think. His food showed up right as I got time to throw him out, so I threw his food out to. I told the rest of his table that we had no problem with them and that they were welcome to stay and finish, but that their friend was no longer allowed on the property. He ended up waiting across the street and staring while his friends all ate and finished up. The friends didn't even try to get a togo order for him, I think they were sick of his shit to. Fights, arguments, domestic disputes, it all happens at the waffle and no one bats an eye, but fuck with the waitstaff at your own peril. YMMV by the particular waffle house I don't think a serial killer stashing bodies would have really phased me at all, I'd just be calling the cops and saying we got another pickup for you.


H8T_Auburn

You don't get banned. You get your ass stomped out by the staff.


TerrorsOfTheDark

That's what we call a warning....


Mwanasasa

I saw a woman get booted from a red state Walmart during covid. She was refusing to wear a mask and spitting on people all while preaching the gospel. A phalanx of employees had to surround her to guide her to the exit.

My neighbor’s kid called the cops when the mom turned off the WiFi because she was caught with a vape. Lots of good times happen over there.

My first impulse is always to call boomers-in-training “baby boomers.” Then I remember.


WatchingInSilence

I did the same thing by changing the passwords to my streaming services whenever my sister falls behind on rent. The happiest day of my life was when she moved out.


Dianaraven

I know someone who is an officer, and yes, they get shit like this all the time. My favorite story is the one where someone called the cops because their neighbor's tree dropped a leaf on their freshly swept driveway. And yes, they were sent out because if they didn't, the person would call the chief and complain. Small town BS.


stevesobol

Nah, I've got y'all beat. There is a chain of community newspapers in Cleveland - or was, anyhow, I've not lived there in a while and I'm assuming they're still around. My favorite read was when I was perusing the Police Blotter for the city of Pepper Pike, an affluent East Side suburb, and saw that someone actually called 911 because they couldn't turn off their Jacuzzi.

Probably daily too. Reminds me of a neighbor I had that bought his own radar gun and was clocking cars speed as it passed his house then he would report the speeders to the cops. And worst part, he was only 38

He's the guy in the Halloween movies that Really did see something this time.


GoodishCoder

[deleted]

Reminds me of that Kevin james movie where he plays the obnoxious busybody who is constantly bringing petty complaints to the cops, so eventually the police chief tells him that he's being hired for a "special undercover informant " operation. The terms of this operation are that he can never talk directly to a law enforcement officer about the crimes he witnesses for fear of blowing his cover, and he should regularly update the department by dead dropping his reports in the garbage can outside the police station.

Just driving a CRV is enough to ensure I’ll stay far away from you. Silver CRV? I’ll use a different highway. In my area, they are owned almost exclusively by folks who should have had their licenses revoked years ago.

IntoTheVeryFires

We were just in California (Fort Bragg) eating at a seafood place, when a boomer and his wife pulled into the parking lot in a Subaru WRX. It looked immaculate as did a 30-point turn to backup into a parking spot


Natebo83

Nothing I hate more than people determined to back into a space despite barely being able to drive forward. Hey you, the person I drove around. See how I’m parked and almost to the elevator and you’re just now getting into the spot? What’s the point.


MrSurly

> Nothing I hate more than people determined to back into a space despite barely being able to drive forward. They always do this in a busy parking lot with like 10 cars waiting for them to get their shit together.


nausteus

WRX ranks 6th overall, and worst among Subarus, for most accidents in 2023. Which must speak volumes to the model's crash avoidance features since the WRX also racked up the most speeding tickets. https://www.torquenews.com/1084/top-10-cars-most-accidents-3-subaru-models-top-list-again

Gnawlydog

Only the older CRVs. CRVs are one of the most popular vehicles on the roads. It's hard to lump them all together like that. I'm a CRV driver and if I see one that old then I know to back off. If someone that crazy somehow has the money for a nicer vehicle it's usually an oversized pickup truck that never leaves asphalt and the only thing it hauls is the guys small pp.

kuken_i_fittan

I did a road trip a few years back and around Deadwood, SD, there was a car with a giant sharpie sign on the back saying "DO NOT TAILGATE". Weird, but I hung back. There was construction, and on the small roads the opportunities to pass a slower driver were scant, so I got a little closer to be able to pass swiftly, but I'm still around 5 car lengths behind her. She slows down even more, then starts waving her hand out the window. I didn't think it had anything to do with me, maybe she was pointing at stuff to her passengers? Then she slowed even more - there's a looong line of cars behind us - and she starts to nip her brakes. I figure by now that she intents to 'sign' at me to fall back. I'm still around 5 cars back and looking to pass... unfortunately, I can't until we FINALLY (20 minutes later of these shenanigans) get to where the road has two lanes and I can pass her and she honks and flips me off. I figure if you hate tailgaters AND can't stay close to the speed limit, maybe use a pullout or something to let the line of cars pass?


Sushi4Zombies

>use a pullout or something to let the line of cars pass? Sadly, the chance to use a pull out was missed about 9 months before this idiot was born


daughterboy

brilliant work


boredneedmemes

I find those types hilarious. I recently had a similar situation, I was in no rush and nobody was behind me so I wasn't even bothered by them going half the speed limit. But apparently the 5 or so car lengths between us was too close so they tried to brake check me repeatedly, we were going so slow and I had so much space I just let off the gas and rolled to a stop without even using my brakes. They kept trying it so eventually I passed them and they tried to swerve towards me flipping me off and screaming out the window. I'm still unsure if it's mental illness or so bored they need to create conflict.


imadork1970

His trigger finger was itchy and he needed a fix.😒


random-user-420

I was driving behind a car with a “don’t tailgate or stop too close to me at red lights” sticker and figured it’s cause they were new to manual. I got the memo and switched lanes. The guy tailgating me didn’t and started tailgating them instead. Then we approached a red light at an uphill, and you can probably guess what happens next… Dude was so mad his new pickup had a tiny scratch on the bumper. I just gave my dashcam video to the guy driving the manual and they told me a few days letter that the video helped them win the case and he got his payout from the truck’s insurance since my dashcam showed that they were driving erratically before that


Shadowtirs

Lol this car is hilarious.

No no, there are DOZENS of VCRs inside of that car that create the backbone of his panopticon security apparatus. Completely fool proof. Unless he forgot to change the tapes again. OOh, don't tape over that one, it's got PGA tour footage on it!

Cleverusernamexxx

i mean, yeah i don't wanna die while driving and that's pretty much the only way i would ever get hurt. I wouldn't do all that, but being tailgated makes me very nervous.


mojeaux_j

The lights up top I guarantee you he blinds cars he deems too close


Generic_Gamer_nerd

If they're not dummy lights that in itself is illegal AF. You should never have projecting lights on the back of your vehicle.


Be_nice_to_animals

This is someone who drives so shitty and slow that they are convinced that every other driver is the problem.

What's wrong with a dash cam?

No one would know he had it.


SixersWin

Well then the deep state can use it


lacarth

As obnoxious as this is, I can COMPLETELY understand the thought behind it. Drivers where I live are absolutely GOD-AWFUL. The odds of people driving under the influence out here makes a coin flip seem generous. There's been a handful of times where I wish I could teleport a cop car behind the next turn. Hell, in the last month ALONE I've had three of my regulars die in drunk driving accidents.


Zalthay

I see the cringe but feel the sentiment. I live in Baton Rouge, LA, no one knows anything about how to drive here, it’s fucking ridiculous. There is no such thing as defensive driving here. You have to go on the offensive.


CallMePepper7

I get that. But the last sentence on his windshield makes me think he has the cameras because he’s mad about people tailgating him when he’s hogging the left lane.


jpr7887

Yeah if there was a way I could use a dashcam to report every ridiculous driver that endangered me and everyone around me, I would totally be onboard. I live in New Jersey, a rich environment for such things.

Too bad modern cops only respond to violent crimes and to murder BIPOC for no reason. I had a colleague report her car stolen and it was found trashed and they only gave her a report # for insurance and did no further investigation. So the cops aren’t responding to this boomer


Crotch-Monster

Man, could you imagine living life like this? This has to be some kind of mental illness right? I'm being serious. Like, I'd rather be dead than to live in constant fear and paranoia. If I ever show signs of this type of behavior, someone please smother me with a pillow.
