Statement: from the Minister For Social Ineptitude

[mr_flay]

Did anyone see this news story recently? Was on Lj less when it happened, so maybe everyone's gone over it already. Anyway, it illustrates exactly what pisses me off about people who just HAVE to get their jollies in public. It's not enough for these two berks to fool around with a dog collar (with which I have no problems) - they've just GOT to do

Yes, it rather saturated LJ when the story first broke.

[mr_flay]

Oh, well. I cut'n'pasted this from a rant elsewhere anyway; I certainly wasn't going to waste more time on these weakeners by rummaging through the archives...

Ah... you're saying "I don't care what people do as long as they do it behind closed doors"? Interesting... if somewhat retro.

Bus safety rules?

I think the bus company came back and said "no, it's not that we disapprove of lifestyle choices, it's that using a collar and lead could be a safety issue".

I only read the original news stories and not the follow-ups but TO ME, that seemed to ignore the fact that one of their drivers was abusive to a customer.

[steer]

Yes, sorry, I know that's what the bus company said, I'm just sort of gobsmacked that someone on my friend's list was gullible enough to believe them.

[despina]

Oh, okay. Well, it sort of depends which news stories you've read really!

expectations of friends - a theme?! I'd do a poll but I'm all polled out for the forseeable.

'hear, hear!'

I applaud the opinion of the Minister and trust a new Social Ineptitude policy to combat further outbreaks of such behaviour to be issued forthwith.

I am reminded of this anecdote

I rather like that. :)
