Well, that Pixar thing is about the saddest thing I’ve heard all day, thanks for ruining my weekend with that one. She couldn’t even watch the movie cause of the pain in her eyes! Jeez!
As for the urban exploration guy, if you waste enough of your time on that forum (or say have a no desire to write a 10 page Motion In Limine that you’re supposed to be doing), you’ll see that it is in fact a parody, making fun of the “UrbEx” crowd, so don’t worry too much about it.
That’s not to say you don’t have actual stalkers breaking into your house, mind you. They just aren’t doing it as part of a fad, but rather to molest Minh in his sleep.
Well that’s why I do it anyway.
As for the prank calling hotel people, never ever underestimate the average morons willingness to commit heinous acts at the behest of authority. Theres a famous McDonalds case, where a guy called up a McD’s, pretends to be someone from corporate, and basically told an employee to arrest one of the other employees (accused of stealing), strip her naked, and basically rape her. Which they did! With all of the store management watching and taking notes!
Let me tell you, no job will make you truly disdain humanity as being a lawyer. Every case I work on just confirms my suspicion that 99% of the populace should be melted down and rendered into fuel to power my various gadgets and whirligigs.
However, I must concur, that is the best detention slip ever. I would send that to Steve Carrell if I were him.
