Mating Game
 

This is what I found in it's entirety...

Oh ffs. Behaviour in a game setting is not the same as behaviour in real life.

This is back to what we were talking about the other day about researchers and human behaviour. How about a well-chosen gift that shows the potential partner is paying attention to what their prospective mate likes and enjoys? Or how about feeling really fucking uncomfortable if someone you barely know starts buying you expensive gifts?

Who the fuck makes relationship decisions based on gifts anyway?

Did you see the dates? Proceedings of the Royal Society 1877-1884.

125 years later...

I assumed they were volume numbers or something because of the 2005 date, my bad.

as for the above - what a nasty thing to do!

Yes it is, wish I'd thought of it. http://cellar.org/2016/reddevil.gif

Fuckin' A.

Given she ended up having to go to court to try and get her name removed from the registration, it's a pretty dickish move to do to someone. No reason is given for why he decided to take such revenge, other than that she broke up with him.

A pretty shitty thing to do to an unemployed single mother.

It's like that song by Carrie Underwear (I guess it's her, all those Hats & Fluff Kuntry "singers" are the same) about tearing the shit out of her bf's truck.

Get a grip, chick. Leave him. Live well as revenge, instead.

But, you know...class. It ain't just a room in a school. :p:

Hi im!

It's clever, and I appreciate the creativity that went into it, but it shows a lack of wisdom, judgement, empathy, class, and decency that he went forward with the idea after thinking of it. In fact, I bet somebody else came up with the idea, because I'd expect a creative mind to have more good judgement.

We have no idea what went on prior to this. It may have been perfectly fitting.

Also, does anyone actually think he was going for wisdom, judgement, empathy, class, or decency? He couldn't have given us a definition of any of those words when this went down.

Of course it was an illogical act, but, at that time there was no place for logic in the man's actions. There will be plenty of room in his wallet for logic, though.

But, that's later.

The thing is, he had to be very methodical and patient with this. He had to fill out forms and stuff. It wasn't a heat of the moment kind of thing.

The very definition of premeditated.

or it may not.

So, you've already come to a fair few conclusions about his relationship with this woman, and whether or not she is likely to have deserved this vengeful act based on no idea what went on prior to this act. You've deduced that she was bleeding that wallet of his and that he'll be financially better off without her. For alll we know he could have been leeching off her welfare benefits and bleeding her dry.

Or not - we don't know. The only thing we do 'know'* is that this man engaged in an act of vengeance after the woman ended their relationship.







*I say know, but we only have the news article to speak to the fact that she broke up with him.

You must admit it was damn clever, though. :D

Seems to me she was aware of the situation long before it got to a fortune, and could have done things to stop it. In the beginning she could have paid the small fine and sold the car. Or at least take the plates and numbers off it.



But remember, it doesn't have to be an invading army to hang you with your diary.

Yeah. They are way off the mark here. How about the silly gag gift to check for a sense of humor?

They're off the mark by who's standards? For two mathematicians in 1880 UK, it was probably normal everyday logic.

Uh, no. What you've done here, perfessor, is jumped head first into a head-deep Pit of Wrong.

You've come to a conclusion or two yourself here.

What I "deduced" (your word, I didn't deduce anything, and your deduction was lacking in this case) is that someone is going to have to pay those parking tickets. That someone is more than likely going to be the person who parked the car. That's the guy, if you're still confused. After he pays those fines, pays some more fines and hires a lawyer and goes to jail, there's going to be a lot of room in his wallet. By that I mean he's not going to have a lot of money. Left in his wallet. From paying the fines.

Now, I've got to go do the today in history thing, and I'm afraid I'll look funny walking over there, so, if you wouldn't mind taking your Rocket Dog boots out of my ass, that would be lovely.

Please/Thank you.

Ticket writer upon seeing the car each day: "I'm shocked. Shocked! that this car is still parked here. I gave them a ticket yesterday. Why didn't they move it? I guess I have to write another ticket so they will move it."

The airport has never heard of a tow truck? Give them like 6 tickets and then tow the fucker.

The airport shouldn't be rewarded for their boneheaded policy by awarding them any money.

Actually, I retract the posts above. Both of these people belong on Jerry Springer.

Here's the real story.

She ended up settling with the city for around $4k.

Grav! I totally misread your post, my bad :P

No worries. I'm already half-drunk, so, in about two hours, it never happened.
