Munji, not you too!!!! I've always enjoyed your wit and contributions...
The last thing we need is another thread about this!!! LOL
I'd never use someone's stuff without permission. That's icky.
I'll never defend the scum that do nor the bar owners who don't bother doing what they say they are going to do. They're always at fault. They're both scum.
But after getting burned twice you should stop expecting scum to act unscumlike. Yet its still not your fault even now.
But having been burned, twice, THEN given an easy, simple step you can take to avoid the problem altogether, and you simply
refuse to lift a finger to protect yourself when
your're the only one facing any consequences????. Sorry. That's a clear Darwin violation. Driving without proper self preservation instincts. You just became partly responsible.
Still, I'm not trying to let the scum or the Bar owner off the hook. They're still at fault. But after 2 strikes, Brad's in the bonus round now, he should know better, his portion of blame and the bonus is enough to make him pretty much fully responsible, call it negligence, lack of due diligence whatever. Three strikes you're out. How many times are you gonna run into the same pothole before its on you?
It sounds like a mother that keeps leaving her kids in a crack house (or Micheal Jackson's) unsupervised over and over when suddenly, for the third time,
totally out of the blue, something BAD happens!!! They agreed to watch the kids. The crackheads aren't "supposed" to do anything bad to them. (Weren't supposed to do those bad things to the kids the first two times either). Oh, my, not her fault, how could she have known???? Riiiight. They're at fault. She's responsible. Brad's responsible.
What did I tell you when I came out of the bathroom? "Don't go in there, go across the hall". Twice. You go in anyway. The smell is my fault. The fact YOU are smelling it is YOUR fault. I made the bomb. You lit the fuse. You chose to immerse yourself in my s*ituation. Dove in with both feet.
Brad lost his innocence after the 2nd time it happened. Contributory negligence.
WARNING: This rule does NOT apply is if your wife "finds" the toilet seat up in the middle of the night for the third time.

I recommend NOT telling her its her own fault for not checking before sitting. Still true though.
