I'd suggest having the volume at normal levels for the opener, cause drat it's worth it.

Exactly how do people think stun guns actually stun people? Do they just think it causes a little static shock to annoy them away?

I now have vivid memories of helping a friend with her student film and the makeup artist getting his hands on the director's stun gun. Imagine an out-of-costume drag queen repeatedly jabbing at everyone with a crackling stun gun, coming within a foot of zapping them.

Right now he's in the middle of a non-stop temper tantrum raging at everyone he can find reason to rage at.

At this point I'm finding myself thinking that he did all this for some hosed up e-fame reasons. Everyone knows who he is now, he's a BIG NAME even if everyone knows who he is because he's a massive loving turd of a person.

With becoming the most hated man in America, probably not. He actually has a really long history of loving up businesses, lying about inventing pharmaceuticals, and trying to manipulate regulations. His Captain Planet villain shtick is really his legit personality, just 100% shameless greed and abuse of everyone who crosses his path if he can make a dollar off them.

This reminds me of the gif from the baseball game with the guy who tries to catch a foul ball but winds up knocking someone's phone out of there hand, then knocking a beer into someone, and something else. It's like a hat-trick of ineptitude, but it shares the same "I'm helping!" appearance that the guy in this gif has. "Oops, I held onto your leg for too long and now you've bruised a rib. Let me drown you while you writhe in pain!"

Even worse, it looks like the impact knocked the wind out of him bad enough to stun him. He just flops like a ragdoll underwater. I hope the cutoff in the GIF is followed by someone making a mad scramble into the pool to fish him out.

This schadenfreude involves kids falling down. They are probably scarred for life.

It's not "Children are incredibly fragile and will be broken if they suffer any hardship ever." The problem is that kids implicitly and unconditionally trust authority figures like their parents, and you can cause some major rifts if you gently caress with them for laughs. Not every kid ends up with problems, but it's a really easy way to do it.

The absolute worst is if they have autism. A coworker of mine has an autistic son, who I know because he occasionally comes in to do menial jobs like shredding and dividing cards and booklets into smaller piles. He's incredibly gullible, to the point where his mom had to teach him "Sometimes, people are mean and are encouraging you to do something just because they want to laugh at you" because he's 15 and other students could still tell him poo poo like "The principal said you need to go stand on your head in the corner" and he'd just walk over and do it. But at the same time, she'll tell him incredibly unbelievable lies that he immediately believes until you tell him that it was just a joke. She does this because she knows how gullible he is and wants a laugh. I've been trying and failing to discourage her from counteracting her own attempts to stop him from being so easily hosed with.

Okay buy you're kinda missing the point of what I said? Kids loving up and hurting themselves is normal and an important part of learning about how the world works and how to navigate dangers. I'm talking about when parents are like "You know what? gently caress my kid's implicit trust in me. I'm going to give them sponges for their birthday and make fun of them when they get upset."

It's not a whole lot different from bullying them in school, just minus any physical beatings.

If I understand it right, you can install this on your PBX with its own extension and simply forward spam callers there for fun, without having to be on the call yourself.

Has it? I've been pretty low on outright solicitation calls. I think it's been about 10 days since the last call that I wasn't sure about picking up, though virtually all of them are local numbers and a few have been wrong numbers or a case of mistaken identity (a guy with major debt problems changed his number without telling anyone, and I ended up being the guy who got that number with a new phone).

He is quitting Uber, and may or may not have ptsd. I doubt he's "handling it" like a cab driver would.

There is a reason cabs have a security partition and washable interior. At least the cabs I've been in. Also radio, a direct 2 way communication with dispatcher. Those guys are also drive all day every day and aren't phased by minor confrontations and lovely clients.

Most Uber drivers are part time, who got recruited via online app. They come equipped with a run of the mill family sedan and a smartphone. They don't have a handler, just an app that tells them where the next pickup is. It's an extremely vulnerable position to be in. The whole shebang only works when your customers are behaving. Good luck getting vomit out of your seats, especially with nothing but Uber's $45 "clean up compensation" handout. More permanent damage to interior? Have fun explaining to your insurance company that you're actually a (part time) commercial driver. Oh wait, it's explicitly against your personal auto policy, so you're not covered. And if god forbid you got robbed, raped and/or murdered, nobody would know for hours. Most people who sign up for Uber, don't stay long. And the company is constantly looking for new ways to gently caress its drivers. Uber belongs in this thread, permanently.

I still end up using Uber just because of the nature of where I live. I don't have a valid license (due to immigration fuckups) nor my own car, and I live in a state that was designed from the ground up for independent drivers with very limited pedestrian or mass transit infrastructure. I'm almost totally dependent on hitching rides to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time without sweating my rear end off in the near-permanent summer heat and humidity of Florida. Uber lets me just tap a few buttons on my phone and get a ride wherever I need to go for a pretty low price without even needing cash on hand (though you should really tip your Uber drivers because they don't get paid enough to not deserve it).

The crux of it is to use it if you need it, and just be really nice to your driver so you don't end up being a lovely part of their day.

Also we got to play around with model rockets which are basically fireworks that you can reuse. And toys with small pieces that fit perfectly in our throats but didn't have warning labels because we wouldn't eat our loving toys like idiots.

I can't really remember any good senior pranks from high school. The only one I remember was forking the football field: you just stick a fuckton of plastic forks into the field until there's one every few feet. It's pretty lovely as far as pranks go, because the inevitable result is the janitors (who don't get paid nearly enough for it) having to spend hours painstakingly removing every single fork.

I think Mythbusters or something similar proved this wasn't true.

Not Mythbusters, but there's lots of video evidence on it. Cows can't really see where they're stepping due to the placement of their eyes, so they only go downstairs under duress and very carefully. It's also why you can keep them from going somewhere by painting a lines on the ground: they know that if they try to walk over a series of bars they're hosed (because they can't see their legs, so they'll likely trip) and thus usually refuse to walk over what they think is a grid of bars over the ground.

Not really a prank, but during my AP US History exams someone in a second story restroom set a paper towel dispenser on fire. We're midway through the exam and suddenly the fire alarm starts blaring and wait it's actually a real fire.

It was a slow news day, so they sent out the helicopter and reporters to cover the mass evacuation of the school. I remember how two guys, for whatever reason, had brought guitars to school and somehow managed to get them outside despite everyone being required to keep their belongings away from the testing area. Random playing ended up turning into the two of them playing the entirety of "Free Bird" on the tennis court.
