Would this have pissed you off?

OK, I am posting this question because I wanted to see who ILE would side with in this situation.

My boyfriend and I are outside doing slight yardwork and basically playing in the yard this weekend. I spot a squirrel tail on the ground. I pick it up and toss it at him. He dodges it, tells me to stop. I pick it up again and throw it. It hits him in the face (when I say hit, I mean makes contact, it was pretty light and didn't have proper surface area for catching air). He gets extremely pissed off at me and leaves the house for 3 hours.

OK, I understand that this is not RIGHT, yet it is very FUNNY (at least I thought). He disagrees and lectured me about it for an hour. and is still pissed about why I don't understand how this means I don't respect him because I "threw a dead animal part in his face." Plus he's vegan.

My views: We don't know for sure that the animal was dead. So it was just part of an animal. He's vegan because he doesn't support that whole industry not because of him being a huge animal lover. Plus, I didn't harm the animal in any way. He even made me call my parents to ask them if they thought it was wrong. My dad just said "Why didn't he throw it back at you?" Plus the tail didn't look or smell bad.

Granted I do harass him terribly and maybe he just finally broke. We never fight though and he usually can only stay mad at me for 5 seconds before I find some way of getting him to laugh.

So, questions, comments, damnation?

Throwing animal parts at a vegan = very stupid unless you really want to piss them off. It was a shitty thing to do.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think you thought "there's an animal part! I can throw it at for fun--------------plus he's a vegan!! even better....."

but it's a bit disgusting.

once might have been funnily wrong. but twice is more just wrongy than funny.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

it would have pissed me off though I probably wouldn't have left the house for three hours over it. just apologize to your boyfriend and don' try to lessen 'the offense' by noting it's not like YOU cut the squirrels tail off, etc.

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

that said people have done worse to their significant others

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

First time, no. Second time, yes. And it's not that funny, really. Apologize sincerely, don't try to get him to laugh it off.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Dead animal parts can carry some pretty nasty germs, Carey. I would have been hella pissed off at you for that alone.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

ack! I wouldn't even pick up a squirrel tail much less throw it at someone. It's probably a safe assumption that the squirrel who was seperated from his tail is dead. They aren't lizards.

(oh, and after he said stop the first time you should've stopped.)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Granted I do harass him terribly and maybe he just finally broke.

What other dead animal parts do you regularly use?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, don't do something if somebody asks you nicely to stop. Doesn't matter if they're vegan or not, that's just rude.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

he should have made a hat out of it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, funny would have been if you stuffed it down his pants while in line at the supermarket in front of everybody and the security cameras and then yelled 'RUN' and took off out the door.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, and if you apologize, then he should get over it. Making you call your parents about this is DUD.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I apologized and I know now not to throw a tail at someone. For some reason I thought of a tail as just fur on a stick and not an animal part.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Millar's suggestion is very funny. Don't beat yourself up over this too much Carey.

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Believe me I thought about trying to stick it down his pants, but thought that would be rude. This was completely spontaneous and I totally did not even think about him being vegan.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Ok we'll just let this thread sink to the very bottom of the posts now. I've learned my lesson. I just have a warped sense of what's funny and what's wrong. Just like I have this plan of one day when I have to go to another thesis defense party, I want to somehow have a small child ( I wish babies were more durable) on hand to wrap up in a box (with air holes of course) and give to the person who is celebrating. And after the gifts of bookends and quippy t-shirts when they open it up the child will yell "Mommy (or Daddy!) and hug the recipient. This is my dream.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

there are worse things...

(And I have a 5 year old you could borrow, but he's sort of heavy and wouldn't fit into a small box)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess the thing is this wouldn't have pissed me off either.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

its not like you fed it to him! total overreaction.

― SplendidMullet (iamamonkey), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the key here is simply that you did it a second time when he said stop. Esp if as you say you tend to tease/hassle him a lot. Some people hate this, even if they say nothing. I don't think you should feel too bad about it, but yeah maybe explain it to him, apologise... and give him a good shag or something ;D

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I am SO TEMPTED to advise that you find the tail and put it in his sock drawer, but I'm evil like that.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure I could unpack something dirty from "finding tail in the sock drawer," but I've had my fun elsethread.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Carey sounds fun. It still would have pissed me off, for sure, but I would have gotten over it.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey there's a squirrel around here without a tail. The effect is unsettling. He/she looks like a VW.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Squirrel are pretty goddamn adorable

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan Perry and Chris V. OTM, the rest of you are mentalists. On the other hand, you are now receiving advice from someone who beat the shit out of a guy for knocking over a Christmas tree so take as you will. I think it's pretty hilarious. Though I wouldn't have done it cos squirrels freak me.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 05:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's kinda minging, to be honest, but as someone who has ALWAYS wanted to slap someone in the face with a wet fish, I'm not quite sure why. Dead squirrel bits = dud.

I think a public enquiry is in order to ascertain why said squirrel lost a tail in the first place, and what the tail was doing in your back garden.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 07:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Boyfriend's major overreaction absolves you of all blame for your minor shittiness.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 07:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― thuddd (thuddd), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 08:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It really pisses me off when I ask people not to do things to me, and they keep doing it just to annoy me. I probably would have reacted the same way. Also, if you harass him all the time with other shit along similiar lines, then I suggest you give it a rest before you cost yourself a relationship - his leaving the house for 3 hours is obviously a big glaring hint that your behaviour towards him is unacceptable in some ways. Try and work it out.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i am a vegetarian, and i hate to say, it would have pissed me off too. if my SO's excuse was that they forgot i was vege, i would still be pissed off.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

it wouldn't have pissed me off. I would have thrown it back.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I know what it's like to do something & have no idea why u did it, but whether or not in hindsight this is funny i think it's wrong. I am a vegetarian, but regardless of this, I would not like my s/o or anyone else for that matter to hurl part of a dead animal in my face. Then do it again! No, not good at all. Overreaction tho def!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Do squirrel tails just fall off? That's weird! I wouldn't be that pissed off, but would probably be mortally worried that I was gonna get rabies or something like that, as I'm a terrible hypochondriac.

My thoughts in this affair are with the poor squirrel who has lost it's tail, it's Beatrix Potter-esque.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Hindsight's 20/20, I guess. You probaly didn't have an accurate idea of how pissed off he'd be, and I'm guessing you wouldn't have done it knowing what his reaction would be. I would've told him that. For me, something is no longer funny once someone I care about is upset by it--seems selfish. Not a big deal though and definitely doesn't warrant a M&P phone call. I'd just be happy that I had a girl who's that playful.

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I personally would have stuck it down my pants and pretended it was my penis. but Im 28 going on 8 so....

But squirrel tails are so soft and fluffy! How could anyone be so mad at that?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Depends when and how it left the squirrel, I suppose...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 24 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I found an entire squirrel skeleton under my back porch this weekend. Unfortunately/fortunately (?) I didn't take the opportunity throw it at my special ladyfriend.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

If I was yr boyfriend, I would have punched you in the breasts.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 24 April 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw a dead squirrel last week. It was sad.

If he could tell it was a squirrel's tail coming at him and that was why he dodged, then I can see him being angry at you doing it again - because he's grossed out at animal parts. On the other hand, if he just had a problem with you throwing anything at him in a playful way then he sounds like he was grumpy and a bit miserable about it.

I threw a towel in the general direction of one of my boyfriends once and it started a huge fight which ended in me jumping out of slowly moving car! Scary!

― marianna, Thursday, 24 April 2003 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I actually told him about this thread and he was pleased that people were siding with him because all people that I've asked to their faces start laughing and tell him that he overreacted. I mean, really, he would have laughed if I had done it to any other person. I actually have no fear of him breaking up with me which I guess is why I do stuff like that because I have any easy target. Every week he has to give me a new list of things not to do to him. Pantsing, biting, probing, throwing squirrel bits. I'm actually usually not like this, but I've been living in the worst college town for 2 years waiting for him to finish a post doc and I get really hyperactive and spazzy since I am never stimulated.

BTW the tail was dry. I wouldn't have touched it if it was wet, I have a fear of moist things.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 24 April 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Pantsing? Biting? Probing? What a lucky man this Franz is!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah he's so whipped he just has to take it. I'm not usually like this I swear. I have never broken the skin either.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

it would have been cool if you pantsed him and a furry squirrel penis fell out.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

That reminds me of this story: When I was in high school I lived in Chesapeake and we ate a lot of seafood. So one night we were having crabs and I was about to go see Dinosaur Jr. at this place called the Boathouse in Norfolk. During this timeframe, early 90s, people were still moshing to anything they could. So I thought it would be funny to take come crab claws with me and while there were people bumping and smushing me, slip a crab claw in the back of someone's pants. I just had this wonderful image of people going to the bathroom and a cooked crab claw falling out onto the floor.

Carey, sorry I said I would have punched your breasts. At the time, it seemed extremely hilarious. I now realize that it is only mildly hilarious.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw a fight once where this one girl turned and punched this other girl right in the left boob, and the girl-what-had-got-punched-in-the-boob yelled "FUCK YOU BEYOTCH!" and smacked her HARD in the face, and the boob-puncher fell down, but was pulling on the girl-what-had-got-punched-in-the-boob down, and the girl-what-had-got-punched-in-the-boob kicked her like 5 times before the security guards broke them up.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Definite piss off. Funny 2. Depends on th ppl. U shld know your boyf well enuf to know this wld upset him.

― toraneko (toraneko), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Harsh. Good thing Nick A.'s not my boyfriend.

Yeah, for some reason actually I thought he would find this funny. I've been dating him for 3 years and have know him for 7. This is the ONLY thing he has ever gotten that mad over. And I have gotten away with far more.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, maybe a squirrel bit him once or something.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Hm, if he never seems to get mad then maybe something else was bugging him and the squirrel-tail-in-the-face was just the LAST STRAW.

― Mandee, Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe.

I am moving away from him in July and I think he's getting upset that I'm acting all excited about being alone.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Suddenly I want some steamed blue crabs.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 24 April 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh HA!HA!HA! I was always wondering what people were referring to when they made fun of Carey and her squirrel tails, and now thanks to the ILX random-thread button, I have been enlightened.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 21 August 2003 07:12 (twenty-two years ago)

You didn't know this story? Wow. It's a pretty good one.

Well yeah.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 August 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Now you definitely have a reason to steal Phil's cookies, Carey.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 21 August 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My views: We don't know for sure that the animal was dead.

I didn't really understand what you meant at first. I thought you were thinking that maybe the tail would spring back to life.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 21 August 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

I once hit the ball at baseball and it went right into my classmates boob. She was on the ground crying for about 5 minutes and I helped her up and said 'sorry' then she asked if I did that and I said 'yes'. Then she suddenly knee'd me in the boob which wasone of the most painful experience I had ever had. It hurt even more than the time I broke my leg! All the teacher did was talk to her parents about behaviour. But I am sure her parents got angry because the next day her dad brought her to school and pushed her to me and she had to appologize. Then when she did her dad pulled her away by her ear and then left.

Yeah me too! When I was on the field, I used to dodge the ball instead of trying to catch it, because I was a bad catcher and I feared the ball would hit me. My team mates gave me shit because of this.

The heart thing was a part of our high school farewell evening. Me and two friends of mine were known as the "funny guys" in our school, so we were asked to do a number there, and we did. We were dressed up in black robes, and we started by striking an axe through a stack of our school magazines. Then we gave our favourite history teacher's underpants, put in a frame, to the funniest lower grade pupil we knew, for her to continue our legacy. (The teacher who's undies they were didn't quite appreciate it. From what I've heard the undies were handed down annually as a trophy for the new generation for several years, until they were finally given back to the teacher a couple of years ago.) As a finale we put some pompous choir music on the background, and then I said, "We will leave, but our hearts will stay here forever." We then proceeded to pick up three pig hearts from within our robes (conveniently hidden there until that moment) and lifted them above our heads. Three lower grade pupils walked from the audience to the stage carrying trays; they kneeled before us, we placed the hearts on the trays, and they walked away. Our Finnish teacher, who always hated us, was reported to have complimented on the show, but she never said anything to our face.

If anyone is still interested in the original situation, I would be really pissed off if someone threw an animal part in my face. I am not a vegan.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 8 June 2006 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

I react violently when someone throws things in my face, or hits me in my face, even by accident. My first instict is to HIT BACK HARD so if I had managed to subdue the instict to attack after the first whack in the face with a squirrel tail, and asked nicely that the person throwing the tail not do it again, and he or she did, I don't think I could be held responsible for my actions.

Note: I am not a vegetarian and have actually eaten squirrel.

so we were asked to do a number there, and we did.

I read this as "a number three" (3) and thought OMG Tuomas had a baby for a prank!

― Abbott (Abbott), Thursday, 8 June 2006 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

Huh, does "number three" equal to "baby" in your language?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 8 June 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

do you know what number twos are tuomas?

Nah.

When I was 6 I got hit square between the eyes with a baseball. It knocked me out for a second and I had baseball seam marks on my forehead for a day or so.

are you vegetarian for health reasons tuomas? or animal cruelty etc.?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:04 (nineteen years ago)

This thread has been locked by someone who doesn't want Tuomas to answer.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:29 (nineteen years ago)

The latter.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:34 (nineteen years ago)

And even though holding that pig heart made me feel kinda sick, it was worth it FOR THE SAKE OF ART!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but a pig died because of it. and it didn't even feed anybody.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:37 (nineteen years ago)

Hold on, I didn't go out and tear the heart out of a living pig, I bought it at a grocery store. I think the rest of it fed somebody.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:44 (nineteen years ago)

And this is the only time in the last ten years I've bought a meat product, so I think I'm excused.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

That's how Nazi Germany started.

― not_mc (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

most people who eat meat don't slaughter the animals themselves

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

No, I was just answering your comment that it didn't feed anyone.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:06 (nineteen years ago)

omfg, i can't express how much i'd want to kick someone's ass if they threw dead animal parts in my face. the fact that you have to ask "would this have pissed you off?" indicates that you are probably some kind of sociopath and should be thrown down a well.

― teh_kit has 21 friends (g-kit), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:08 (nineteen years ago)

yeah thank god for meatatarians

xpost kicking donkeys is cruel too.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'd be pissed off if someone found a dead animal and didn't even attempt to throw it at me, tbh. What a waste of potential hilarity!

― melton mowbray's APOCALYPTO! (adr), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:18 (nineteen years ago)

I once held a pig's heart in a black robe, while being a vegetarian. And I still am.

You're still holding a pig's heart???

― Dan (Dude, LET GO) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:22 (nineteen years ago)

Probably quite smelly and maggoty by now :)

― Dan (TEH ZOMBIS) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 June 2006 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

I don't get it... The heart looks the same in both pics.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

No, I was just answering your comment that it didn't feed anyone.

But if you hadn't bought the heart, somebody else would have, and then it would have fed somebody. So you still did the pig a disservice, regardless of whether the rest of its body got eaten or not.

I mean, I'm fine with the idea of people eating me after I die, it'd actually be my preferred means of body disposal...it's actually useful (I have nutritional value!), and environmentally non-destructive, which can't really be said of either burial or cremation. But the idea of somebody fannying around making shitty high school "art" with my organs is really offensive. So if I was the pig, I'd hate you now Tuomas.

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

Well, of course buying it was against my ethics. I don't claim to be a perfect person. However, if I've bought one meat product in ten years, I'd still say it's small compared to people who buy them every day.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

And the "art" comment was supposed to be ironic. We were teens and wanted to offend people... Who hasn't?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

i have but never at the expense of a pig's life ;_;

― Dan (Wow) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

To be honest Jim, by the time you actually die you'll be so tough that it wouldn't be a particularly pleasant meal. Assuming you don't get hit by a bus next week, and even then I doubt you'd be in much of an edible state.

Really, what you want is a nice tender baby.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

i'd totally eat jimd.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

Baby? Fuck that! If I was going to eat someone, I'd eat a nice organic vegan because then I would know it was all healthy and free of GM ingredients.

Hey Tuomas, come over here a while, OK?

― Brandon vs. Dylan: Sideburn Showdown! (kate), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

I once had a drunken party conversation with several Ilxers about which one of us would be the best to eat. I won't say who we decided on.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

(Was it Ptee?)

― Dan (Just Guessing) Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

It was Magnus, ha ha ha.

I bet you couldn't manage a whole me, ken.

you haven't been reading the ipso fatso thread jim!

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

(Yes, it was Magnus)

Would starting an 'If everyone on ILX was on a plane that crashed into the side of a mountain, who would we eat first?' thread be slightly tasteless?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

depends if the barbeque sauce survived the crash

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 9 June 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

Not if we have a good brown sauce.

There's that one thread with the cartoon .jpg of a naked guy being eaten by wolves...?
