Those first two deserve to be called out. The rest...of course not.

My wife is on the 'hood listserv, which is just NextDoor for the Olds.

They like to post pictures of cars that are driving like assholes on there. I love it.

(But they also bitch about a lot of things that for are for the days/minds of ppl with nothing better to do.)

My friend got kicked off of Nextdoor for trolling everyone. Someone kept going on and on about uncollected dog poop and it just kept spiraling into inane discussions.

He simply kept intimating that he was the one pooping, not a dog.

He finally went "AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!" to which someone reported him and his account was banned.

He got kicked off of Facebook in a similar way.

If you have to get 86’ed that’s the best way to do it.

Be careful on the facebook marketplace. Know someone who got scammed out of a not insignificant amount trying to sell a couch.

Sorry buddy, but it's pretty unbelievable that (A) you found a buyer for those rookie cards you stocked up on and (B) that they're worth all that much.

Yeah, they got scammed, which sucks, but yeah, there's some complicity involved. I don't want to get into too many details but it involved a fake cashiers check.

Yeah but the Browns, Jags, Packers, and Heather Kozar have all moved on (the last to his teammate).

Did anyone point out to him that the homicide right is about 2.5 times higher in Alabama than NYC?

Sounds like his usual contact doesn't want to see this racist fucker.

Yeah, he was a piece of shit in high school too. He got picked on a lot, which made me want to feel sorry for him, but then I'd talk to him and realize he mostly had it coming.
