Ah yes, South Australia, home of gruesome murders and decomposing corpses stuffed into barrels. I think our state has some of the most interesting murders out there, so hey, state pride.RhombusHatesYou said:I completely innocently murdered a shitpot of people.
I'm South Australian, it's not uncommon here.
Heh, I feel that way when I'm walking behind someone at night, especially if the other person is a woman.Lilani said:I always feel like a serial killer when the car in front of me happens to be going the same place I do. Making the same turns, staying in the same lane...I feel like I'm stalking them, lol. And then I begin to wonder if they feel like I'm stalking them.
Same here, but thankfully employers in my country are a bit more old-fashioned, so there are less e-stalking and more "You are the son of the guy with whom I went to elementary school for two years and he once helped me cheat on the history test? You are hired! What, you don't have the qualifications yet? Don't worry, you'll learn them as you work. Now, get dressed, the heart-transplants won't do themselves!".ThingWhatSqueaks said:I find it highly irritating the my lack of a Facebook account is, these days (in addition to probably costing me several jobs as potential employers can't e-stalk me), considered a sign of sociopathic tendancies. Apparently if you're not part of a highly invasive social networking service then you're just itching to off some people.
i used to do that but one time as i sped up to pass the person in front of me they started running across the street, now i just cross the street and speed up, i don't want to get tazed for trying to be nice.Zhukov said:Heh, I feel that way when I'm walking behind someone at night, especially if the other person is a woman.Lilani said:I always feel like a serial killer when the car in front of me happens to be going the same place I do.

Sometimes I overtake people and walk in front of them just so they won't think I'm following them.
Well, I'm yet to be tazed, but I've been screamed at.regardlessrampage said:i used to do that but one time as i sped up to pass the person in front of me they started running across the street, now i just cross the street and speed up, i don't want to get tazed for trying to be nice.Zhukov said:Heh, I feel that way when I'm walking behind someone at night, especially if the other person is a woman.Lilani said:I always feel like a serial killer when the car in front of me happens to be going the same place I do.

Yeah, it's even become part of the state's advertising.RhombusHatesYou said:I completely innocently murdered a shitpot of people.

There this too I hate Facebook and when I get close to graduating I may be forced to get an account just so i appear "normal" to employers.ThingWhatSqueaks said:I find it highly irritating the my lack of a Facebook account is, these days (in addition to probably costing me several jobs as potential employers can't e-stalk me), considered a sign of sociopathic tendencies.

Speaking only from experience, while I've never used an American airport, with UK and Dutch ones, its very rare that I don't get stopped at least once. Though in the case of immigration, it could be more that lots of people think my country exists ("Oh sure, you're from "Brunei". Let me call some people to make sure while we put you in a tiny room with a bunch of other shady looking bearded middle easterns"). With security checks though, I doubt there's any excuse for making me repeat the process. I don't even have a massive beard...Zantos said:I read an article that basically said "If you aren't white, avoid flying on nine eleven like the plague!" Is that just rumours and hearsay, or is it really that bad?
