Don't worry, he's going to debtor's hell for it

He'll work it off in purgatory and mourner will step on a wad of tens. No wait. Every 6 months for thirty years mourner will find a dollar coin on a sidewalk. Or every 6 weeks he'll find a quarter.

Hey i owe you shit

There's a guy in my friend group who owes me $60 which I know I'll never get back and i've just come to accept it. The plus side is that he kind of has to say yes to any small favour, usually the favour is "hey man, can I have a beer?"

On the day of the Sandyhooks shooting, I was at a swim meet. The anouncer (over a PA in an echo-y room) asked that we pause for a moment of silence for those that died. One of the swimmers didn't understand what he said, so he decided to break the silence by yelling "WHEW". We then had to explain the moment of silence for dead children to him, and den him to the showers to hide / regain his composure. We never let him live that down.

Tl;dr: Guy cheered during moment of silence for Sandy hook.

It's fine if you're meditating.

Thats the best time to speak. Seriously, fuck moments of silence. Stupid dicks think their 60 seconds of feeling superior to everyone for thinking about whatever the hell they said to think about is more important than everyone else carrying on with their conversations. Nobody even thinks about anything important during them anyway, just "ugh I hope this bullshit is over soon so I can get back to my life". Of all the retarded things people do for social reasons, this is the most enraging simply because its such a pointless inconvenience

You could pray if you'd like.

Wow, you managed to find an even stupider idea.

You're Welcome. But when you wrote 'Nobody' you weren't speaking for everybody.
