News Flash:

I am a fucking human being and should be treated as one. I am tired of your I-am-holier-than-thou attitudes; I am tired of you treating me like I am a shit stain on the carpet; I am tired of being treated like an indentured servant. In this day and age I thought being an insensitive asshole would be something that you would frown upon... apparently I was wrong.

Also, your jokes may be in good nature (probably not), and maybe at one point they were funny (probably not as well), but I have had it. There are only certain individuals that I will let make these jokes, and if you have to ask yourself "Am I one of those people?" then you're not. For those of you who are not one of those people: shut the fuck up.

P.S. If you have a fucking problem with me, come to me to say it. Don't decide that you want to place your cigarette butt under my rear window wiper so that I can't see out of my fogged up back window on my long drive home. It's not funny or safe to do that shit.

That is all.

Dearest Bradley,

I feel like this post is directed at me somehow... and I'm disappointed that you are not following the advice that you ended your post with.

I'll take a moment to address each of your concerns in the following responses.

First off... I make it a point to treat everyone exactly as they treat me. I don't think that I carry myself with a "holier-than-thou" attitude. I merely have the confidence to back up who and what I am. I'm a pimp... and pimps don't commit suicide.

Secondly, I don't treat you like an "indentured servant". I don't make you bring me things. I try to make it a point to say hello to you, and gauge your mood appropriately before entering into social interactions with you... this is done out of courtesy because I would hate to catch you in a bad mood and do anything to comprimise our wonderful relationship.

Thirdly, I like to consider myself as one of the people that is allowed to make the jokes you are referring to. I figured it was a fair trade... you make fat jokes... and I make half black jokes. If this is a problem, or you are in any way offended by them... please let me know and I'll be happy to adjust my behavior accordingly.

Fourthly, my bad on the cigarette butt. That was me. I own up to it. I was drunk and was in the mindset that it was a token of my love to you. My drunk self (and sober self for that matter) can't see how this would cause a problem with window fogging... but I apologize none-the-less. Please let me know if caused any permanent damage and I'll be happy to discuss some anti-fogging solutions with you.

Everything you complained about in your above post... are all things that I've seen you do to other people as well. If this post is a friendly notice that you're changing your policies on social interaction... then fantastic. Notice received, good buddy. However, should that be the case... I would expect the same from you.

I know I've had this conversation with you previously, but I'll go ahead and put it out there once again just so everything is in the open.

PLEASE do not come up behind me and "shank" me. This does two things. It violates my personal space, and plays into a racial stereotype that you are wishing to free yourself from. Friendly hugs and hand shakes are totally acceptable.

No more fat jokes. This one seems fair. If you're expecting people not to make black jokes... then it's only polite that you also refrain from preying on other people's physical characteristics.

In closing, I would like to thank you for taking the time to be honest in such a public forum. I will endeavor to take all of these things into consideration during any future social interaction and would hope that you do the same. If you require any clarification on this, or any other matter, please do not hesitate to pull me aside at game or give me a quick phone call. I believe you still have my number... if not, I'm sure you can get ahold of it from someone.

Blessings,

-Nelly

To prevent misconceptions regarding the causes of window fogging (A plague that ails any and all that travel via automobiles at some point in their lives), I must point out that the 'fogging' is a collection of moisture, or condensation, that manifests on the interior of windows. Therefore, the presense of objects on the exterior of an automobile's window is purely a red-herring as there are many times that this 'fogging' phenomenon can occur on the side windows (Both driver's side and passenger's side on all makes and models of automobiles).

As there is most often no presence of window-wipers on these windows, and they inevitably "un-fog" (Most often by usage of the defrosting option on a given automobile's heater settings, though others may choose the "crack the windows" option as well), the source of this clearing coming from the interior of the vehicle, not the exterior.

For helpful tips regarding the clear-sight through automobile's windows, I have located this website that has many helpful hints regarding this terror of automobile-bound sight. Its tips include:

• Cleaning the interior of the windows every one to two weeks
  
• Try to eliminate excess moisture before getting into the car to help in keeping car windows from fogging
  
• Use your car’s defogger or defroster heat or air conditioning setting
  
• If you’re really in a hurry, you can start keeping car windows from fogging by wiping down the interior windows with a towel
  

As the above-referenced website states (Which I'll blatantly copy-and-paste for ease of reference), no matter how much of a hurry you’re in, you should make sure your visibility is maximum before you start driving the car. Minimized car visibility can lead to accidents, which are far more serious than being late to work or school.

The more you know.

First and foremost, the above post is written with regards to multiple people and multiple stimuli - so not all points do apply to one individual person... this was a train of thought post at the time of posting - that I have gotten fed up with over the past couple of months, the cigarette butt in the windshield was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Second, as a side note, the "fogged up" window had it's moisture on the outside, not on the inside.

Third, thank you for admitting what you had done. It's better than what a lot of other people have done.
