Laser pointer hording loser

Blas: At least he thougt he was funny. Though giggling uncontrolably does not strike me as being on the same mental wavelength anyhow already.

As for the lasers yeah I've heard about those also supposedly the green wavelength ones are more powerful or a more damaging or something. I know my friend has a setup the will put a dot out to about 300 yards or so, so he can doubleup with his scope and reach out and touch someone.

At least he wasn't pointing it in people's eyes. A few years ago, there was an incident where some loser almost blinded a ride operator at Hersheypark with one.

I gotta agree with this, yeah the guy in the OP was annoying; but, basically harmless.

I was pissed that he was aiming it at women especially our breasts!

On the lighter side, at least he wasn't actually physically touching them.

Not every male in the species is obsessed with breasts. It might have just been a fluke that the dot ended up focused in that area at some point.

It strikes me as being under the influence of something not sold over-the-counter.

You're quite right, Ree, but I'd find it extremely serendipitous that he just so happened to point the laser at both of our breasts...hers then mine...

I donno maybe others aren't as bothered with people playing with them in public and aiming them at people, but I have an issue with it. I think it's annoying, rude and childish. Maybe he was mentally disabled....

As we approached, we noticed that he had a laser pointer, and he was pointing it at every woman who happened to walk by. He pointed it at my friend's breasts, and then mine.

I'm a sadddddddddd Panda...

My bet is with Gurndigarn. He sounded like he was high as a kite.

Apparently, this is a laser-pointer-sized 200mW laser capable of burning through fabrics and paper. Scary.

My question is - what exactly is the point of having such things available for the general public?
I'd understand enthusiasts, but then they could have much less-convenient form factors.

Because it would just be awsomely cool to have one. I could cut up styrafoam for my miniature games terrain. Definately a geek item.

Beat me to it. It'd also be great for those of us that want to be able to FINALLY cut paper in a straight line. Just gotta be sure to blow it out QUICK.

I say as long as people aren't pointing them at anyone's eyes, then it's fine. JMO of course.

Laser pointers are SO 2000.

Hell, even my cats are so over the laser pointer.


I hate the kids who think it's so funny to point them at the screen in the movie theater. I've seen kids get "spoken to" by theater staff on at least one occasion for that.

"Spoken to" as in "told to get the f*ck out", or "spoken to" as in "dragged out back and brutally beaten"? I know the first one is the proper answer, but the second would be SO much more satisfying.

For us, too. Sadly, management said we didn't carry enough insurance

It's so bad that I've actually been to one theater that included laser pointers as part of their "don't do this crap" spot before they start showing the previews. (along with not talking and turning cell phones off)

^-.-^

Theater staff? People around them waited that long? I've seen patrons shove an empty (mostly) popcorn bucket on the offender's head for that sort of thing. We won't talk about what happened to the guy who wouldn't shut up on his cell phone.

Theater staff are often too late unless its a kids movie where everyone is playing nice.
