Really petty theft by Selahsaurus
January 7th, 2011 9:28 PMDo not cross.
Caution! Contents hot! Be Careful!
Do not touch.
Do not do not do not!
Do?
So I was at work and eating in the internet cafe when a fellow employee walked by and cleared their throat and then pointed out yet another bane of my existence. Absolutely NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED in the computer lounge at any time.
Something in me... snapped. I so hope that no one notices the trail of cookies back to my desk, nor the fact that if they looked at my hands they would find them covered in crumbs. The chocolate from the Oreo Cookies have a way of sneaking under neath my finger nails and as I stare at my shame I wonder if I shall ever be free from my crimes against humanity...

you would think so, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, such is the way of big business.
It is a bit blasphemous that they paired the words 'cafe' and 'no eating or drinking' though..
It's a bit thin to be malicious, much less criminal. I doubt anyone would even mention a cookie, or if they did, it would probably be a halfhearted "Is that a cookie? You know we're not supposed to eat in here."
Yes. But it is a small crime that leads to endless heartache. After all, rules are in place for a reason, and do you know how hard it is to get rid of ants once the start infesting?
Plus it doesn't say to be malicious. That's not the point of SNIDE. Just to be... disruptive. A pebble in a pond.
If you could prove that the excessively petty not-quite-even-breaking-the-rules-really you committed lead to ants, I'd give you a 5 hands-down, no questions. Because that WOULD be the most wonderful SNIDE-iest outcome possible.
You're right SNIDE isn't meant to be malicious for the sake of malice (being that it's my favorite Trajectory, I feel that this clarification is necessary), but instead to act as a force of change through chaotic stimuli. Ex.: Had they gotten ants, I'm sure they'd be reinforcing that rule more zealously, thus you have fulfilled the task, as you did, AND accomplished the directive of the Trajectory.
Ha ha - a cafe where you can't eat :)
I suppose you're supposed to consume digital cookies?
You gave them the benefit of rephrasing the sign as "internet lounge"
frankly, in my estimation, "cafe" implies the eating, or at least the sipping.
I mean cafe == coffee, yes?
