does hypochondria count btw? Hypochondria most definitely counts. I am often able to diagnose myself within 2 minutes with whatever disease is mentioned on television, especially if it is fatal. |

You mean because she's packing that extra weight? You women really have mean thoughts about each other. Didn't it feel weird to sign your own death warrant? |

This morning I realised that someone had broken into our flat in the night and stolen a 5kg bag of potatoes. If they're hungry enough to eat 5 kg of potatoes, I'd say they're welcome to it. At least they didn't steal your computer! |

I ate my breakfast much faster than I wanted to this morning due to a flash of "what did I do with my passport?" since I did not have it with me. Even though I was 99.9% sure that it was on the desk in the hotel room, the 0.01% poisoned my meal.
Of course the passport was on the desk.

Okay ~~ this is really pathetic:
Anybody ever post in a thread or make an OP so that it's what is showing from that board on the front page and THEN someone comes along right after you and posts in a different thread on the same board or makes an OP right after yours so that you are left with no choice but to assume that it is being done deliberately?

no, but i sometimes make a post just before i log off, and then worry all day that i might have insulted someone and get flamed for it ... when i log back in though, usually, my post hasn't even been noticed.
come to think of it, usually my posts don't get noticed. are people ignoring me? is it a conspiracy?

On another site, a delightful character appeared to entertain the masses. The first post seemed a little extreme, but still within the limits of not putting the person in a straightjacket:
When returning to Detroit, Michigan, for a day trip from Windsor, Ontario Canada on the tunnel bus, I had to go through customs. It became a HORROR STORY!!! I am a U.S. citizen with ID and the SHAKEN DOWN back to my own country was a NIGHTMARE. I cancelled my trip to Europe because of this experience of a SWARM OF HATRED. I had no CONTRABAND and they accused me of carrying too much money, their explanation??? Is there an attorney who would like to take my case? I am almost 60 years old and neither they nor myself know if I could have had a heart attack from the surprise factor of it all. Thanks for your attention. I find that the listening ears do not seem to care.
A few people offered their information about currency declaration laws, while others were already becoming amused.
The next message was:
Hi there CALI, I wanted to reply to you, the most apparently genuine responder to my entry about Detroit. I have theorized that maybe someone of my personal acquaintance had sabotaged the Customs site in Detroit for me. I am suspicious of that having occurred because the Customs people had boarded the bus in a different procedure than I had experienced or witnessed before, as though SOME INFLAMMATORY TIP HAD BEEN INPUTED THROUGH SOME PORTAL. I know someone who hates me, maybe stalks me, and has access to legal channels. If someone tries and and succeeds in smearing the object of their hatred, in such a pressure impacting situation, is this a hate crime and shouldn't Customs have had some measures in place to avoid the actions of fools rushing in? In any case, the experience has left me sadly vanquished. All I need now for the rest of my agoraphobic life is a computer to travel for me vicariously.
Mirth was uncontrollable by now, which led to this 3rd message:
I have been in a Domestic manipulation maze for all of my life. I had had an intuitive sense that relatives of mine, with attorney credentials, had gotten into my safe deposit box, in California.The brother from whom I have been estranged for 25 years, has passed the Bar in California. Couple that with the fact that my support checks had at one time arrived 3 months late. I had some few Gold coins with me, in case, while in Europe, the arrival of the checks might have stopped, out of jealousy and in retaliation for my independence. ( Keep in mind the Domestic manipulation.) The net worth I was carrying was much less than $10,000 and when I purchased the Gold coins, they were purchased in 1980 when 3 Gold coins cost about $1,000. Customs should be requiring IRS information instead, because my personal income leaves me without a tax liability. I would only like to see intelligent replies from here on out. Some of the comments could very likely be from Government people who are less than intelligent about individual rights and human problems. Did anyone process the information about Customs boarding the bus, with alarming action, before the devouring of my property?
Everybody is anxiously awaiting the next installment if the whole thread is not deleted.

www.fodors.com/community/united-states/beware-371436-2.cfmGoogled the first couple of sentences and BAM. This might be a real case of psychopathologies in evidence. Is it OK to laugh? I hope so because it's funny as hell  <edit> Well fudge, the thread's been closed. Maybe you could PM the poor bloke and we could attempt to straighten him out here.

Unfortunately, or possibly fortunately, fodor's doesn't have the nifty PM option. A malciously clever PMer could push that poor fellow over the edge, so just as well.

A surprising amount of, if not inner peace, at least blitheness can be had merely by repeating to oneself at least once a day: "I'm really not important to the rest of the world."

Or the inverse (converse, obverse, whatever) from the movie Synecdoche, New York: In real life, there ARE no "extras". Everyone out there is the leading player in their own world. |
