Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

He didn't destroy it. He bought it.
No, i destroyed it. I paid for it bcz the police officer told me the shop owner was going to press charges if I didnt pay for the hat. Aka, get arrested for trespassing on my vacation over a hat, or pay for it and leave with my family...I would do it again in a heartbeat. Ain't selling that dirty ass white hat to anybody else. I count it as a win.
Right, you paid money for the hat. The shop owner doesn't care if it is destroyed, because their goal is profiting from the hat, which they did. The hat served its purpose.
It's like the people who buy books to burn them, and then the book ends up on the bestseller lists.
Its not like buying a book and burning it. Im sure you'd do the same thing if a police officer approached you in a restaurant and told you to pay fir the hat or get arrested.
I didnt literally buy the hat and go set it on fire.
No, but your choices had a predictable outcome. You break it, you buy it. Getting the police involved is just extra steps.
