1.                  Computers and cyber communities have taken over so much of everyday life; even cyber hard-asses have emerged.  Remember when computer users were just nerdy? 

As many of you know, my fine associates and I on the program The Young Turks recently made fun of the antics of rapper Rick Ross when his past as a corrections officer came to the surface.  In usual internet form, people agreed with our making fun of his extensive attempts to deny ever having a past that didn’t include breaking the law, while others took offense to the satire while defending their hero. 

As the comment section naturally heated up, dissenting views turned into threats, “This Nikkas Iz Wack iz Fuck Wat YA Knoe Bout A Hood..Come To MA Hood TAlkin That Reckless Shit” and “these fuckin tightass rich people making fun of him "get money" what are u 14 whatta bunch fuckin bitch asses. come to the streets and make fun of shit like that.” 

Aren’t threats supposed to be intimidating?  You can’t sit behind a computer and type about how much you’ll hurt someone if they come to your neighborhood.  Secondly, I think the deliberate misspelling of words is the way to prove you’re not actually a nerd typing 60 WPM.  So please, stop frontin and do some advanced physics, everyone can see through you cyber thugs. 

 

2.                  If you’re unfortunate enough to be the guy in the public restroom in the stall, stinking up the bathroom, don’t come out when you know another person is using the urinal.

I don’t know about women’s public restrooms since they consist completely of stalls, but men’s rooms have several unwritten rules.  Everyone knows that when there are multiple urinals available and one guy is using one, you select one that creates at least one urinal of distance between the two of you. 

But more importantly, and maybe it’s just me, but when someone is “taking care of business” in the stall, they should stay in there until others leave the restroom.  That was some very personal quality time that everyone is forced to experience, so hang tight until others have relinquished the entire bathroom back to you.  No one should have to identify the horrific smell with a relieved face exiting the stall…and you shouldn’t want them to either!  The only thought that remains is, “This guy better wash his hands before he leaves!”
