This doesn’t reflect a random, crazy, or charming mother.
It’s just a stupid child.

dustin, couldn’t agree with you more…

Actually, the story behind the incident prefacing the whole post was left off.
Yes, this suit guy existed. No, I didn’t buy into his “help a brother get his innocent buddy out of jail” crap. He actually got both mine and my mom’s number off an unrelated political petition I had just finished signing (I don’t have a landline, so I use hers). While he was trying to legitimize his magazine ’cause’ to me, he had his wallet open with his driver’s license, and I gave my mother his entire name (but I’m not putting his last on the internet for obvious reasons) in case he actually tried to contact her.
I was playing with my mom when I sent her the messages. Even if I had sold her out to a scam artist, she apparently would still love me. For that, she is both crazy AND charming.
But thanks, Dustin, I’ll be sure to add a “How to best convey satire via text message 101″ to my curriculum.

-geez, that’s not satirical.
get over yourself.
and what kind of dodgy political petition lets some weirdo bother you while you write down your data? and why would you let him?
how do youe ven know he got your number? I assume he didn’t write it down in front of you.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste…

I was eating ice cream outside a downtown shop when I was asked to sign the petition. Suit man, unrelated to the petitioners, was on the street as well and stopped the petitioners in front of me to add his name to it. He turned and said “So you’re [insert name] from [insert street]…I’ve got a great offer…” then at the end asked if he could call me with details. I said I wasn’t interested, and he said he’d keep my number (if landline, that would’ve been mom’s) in case I changed my mind (!) It was sketchy. Maybe he didn’t actually remember it. I don’t know, I don’t care, but I err on caution, because people are nuts. I guess I’m the only one to be blessed with bizarre sketchy-ass city experiences.
Long story short, I didn’t sell out good ole’ moms, and I wish that they had let me preface the entry with that so I could avoid the ensuing agitation of the masses.

Too much protesting, CLaw, and too much explaining.
Let it go.

Hey claw, I hope your identity gets stolen due to being an asstard.
August 4, 2008 at 4:32 am
If you’ve never done anything stupid in your life raise your hand. I thought not.
August 4, 2008 at 9:07 am
Geez, I thought this site was supposed to be all about fun. What’s with all the “asstard” venom. Just laugh and go about your business. If you gotta get on this site and take out your aggressions on strangers who are just tryin to have fun, maybe you should pick up a gun and head over to your local post office where at least you will be a lot more welcome. Just be cool.
August 4, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Hey saftey kills, you’re also an asstard. :)
August 11, 2008 at 2:01 am
wow, some of you (ashley) are real original with the insults.
ANd I will assume many of you haven’t signed political petitions. They aren’t that organized. People stand on the street and wave people down.
Hey Ashley, I hope YOUR identity gets stolen and you go through the hassle of sorting all that out since you so sweetly wished it on someone. It’s not fun. Try having a checkbook stolen from your bag and then finding out people have hacked into your info and gotten away with a lot of money. Hmm. Thought not.
August 11, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Sketchy people (both later signers and signature gatherers) are why I won’t sign political petitions anymore. Also, I hate when the signature gatherers try to convince me to sign by telling me that they get paid by the signature (that is illegal in this state). Yeah, like I’m really going to give you all my personal information after you’ve already told me how desperate you are and that you’re involved in illegal activities.
August 12, 2008 at 12:05 am
Hey original, did you think maybe you shouldn’t sign unorganized shit and just maybe that giving out your personal information just maybe, it just MIGHT be a bad idea? And maybe, just MAYBE, you could leave your whole damn checkbook at HOME? Hmm. No, you know, my shit hasn’t been stolen, and you know why? I KEEP TRACK OF IT. You have also earned the title of asstard, congratulations. WOW some of you (original) are just plain dumb. You really think you’re so high above me? You just wished that I get my identity stolen for wishing it on someone else, so how exactly does that make you better than me? Oh right, it doesn’t. You know, I’m glad your checkbook was stolen. Maybe next time they will get away with your social security card and really have some fun!
August 12, 2008 at 2:16 am
Ashley – fuck off…you’re being a real douchebag, people are here to have a good time and don’t need people like you being an asshole just because you feel like it. If you want to feel like a badass, why don’t you go have some online fights with some junior high kids? I’m sure they’d enjoy it just as much as you, whereas everyone here finds you annoying and immature.
