Great smilie, we've all had the need for a puking smilie at one time or another on these boards! :D

I've only had 2 experiences of smelling others' BO here. Whereas in Britain it nearly got to the stage of not wanting to go out anywhere in the Summer as it was nearly daily when someone not only stank but when they left that odor lingered and seemed to cling to you.
I'm just glad that americans seem to know what deodrant actually is and use it!
Though on a different note I have to get people to bring my pink sure when they go back to the UK don't like the deodrants here!

I can feel for you.

I had my truck sitting on my drive sprayed with acrylic paint on the morning of July 4th. (Luckily the soft twat couldnt even do a proper job and it buffed out with some Rainex as solvent)

Apparently one of my neighbours took exception to our flags (yes *those* flags) flying on July 4th. I've only just found out who it was by careful investigation and now I have an "appointment" with them shortly.

Personally, in your case, if she did it again I would assume it's a threat and take appropriate action.

As for spitting...disgusting loathsome habit. Spitting at someone in the UK is actually classed as assault... Dont know if it's the same here.

The spitting and snorting comes from WEED ;) as most Americans be it from an upper class or lower class life style seem to relie on their green little friend to get through the day its part of American culture lets get ripped every day most of them seem like they can't function without it I have noticed this is in every state that I have lived in. :eek:

Are you taking a baseball bat to your appointment?

When I lived in South Hall, way back in 81, they even had signs up on the Lamp Posts saying you would be fined for Spitting.

Really? I've only ever seen one person stoned in my entire time here and that was a 21 year old stooodent wandering around barnes and nobles at 11pm giggling with his mates. Consdiering I live in a town with 40,000 students I thought it was pretty good that I've never seen it before.

What was it that he sprayed on your truck, Were there words or just a random spray?

Thats the trick unless you know what to look for you would never know its in their system and they know how to cover it it becomes part of them like an alcholic if they are good ones you would never be able to tell just looking at them.

Disgusting people in this world. However, just to clarify things, are you saying she did this because of your flag? Or was she just a bi**h on wheels?

What a great way to start the day.

Using the phrase "they all seem" is wrong.

I don't spit anywhere but into my toilet or a tissue if there is a reason to have to. Nor does my husband or my children. So drop the "all". Not ALL Americas are ill mannered just as all Brits are not ??????:rolleyes:

What decent woman with any self respect would do such a low down filthy thing? let her get on with it, she is going no where with her life and once trailer trash always trailer trash, remember the old saying fine feathers don't make a fine bird.

It is so uplifting to read how much you love Americans and America. Makes me so proud to be one. As a Yank I don't around badmouthing other nationalities with generalizations such as the verbal garbage you have been sprouting on this thread.

There are about 2 policemen for every 1 student in this town. The police presence is so over-bearing and ridiculous they're probably too scared of smoking anything stronger than a marlboro light for fear of being given the electric chair.
I haven't been stoned for years, I'd probably barf now if I inhaled.
