this was originally intended to be a big rant, but i have to go to the bathroom so its gonna be a short one
"Fives", as they're known, have got to be the dumbest thing in existence. for those blessed to have people around you not use this rule, whenever you leave a seat you're sitting in, you must call 'fives', or anyone is free to steal your seat without a second thought
if you do say 'fives' out loud, with someone else to verify, then you have effectively saved your seat in your absense for up to 5 minutes
has society stooped so low and so full of ADHD children that we can't let someone come back to the seat they left 30 seconds prior without a fight?
it seems to me that, at least around here, 'fives' has been so widely recognized that if someone sees someone with a seat better than them leave, they instantly jump on that seat
ffs, the only time stuff like this might be slightly important is in a car, but we have 'shotgun' for that
so my closing thought, which i'll leave open for discussion: if someone has a better seat than you, let them have the security to get up for a minute and expect to get it back
and especially, never ever brag when someone forgets to call fives
next time i hear someone say that i'm gonna whip out a sword or some other cool pirate weapon and decapitate the offender

| Its thoroughly understood that anyone who takes my seat after I get up gets physically removed when I get back. How is this understood? because I pull peoples asses out of my chair when I get back. Im not in highschool anymore or middle school which is where it was an issue, but to this day I do it to strangers too. Im at a party ive been ensconced at a spot for an hour or so, probably around friends, and some jackass in a sideways hat takes my seat. He gets 1 warning. and by warning i mean ultimatum to get out of my seat. |

don't you roll your eyes at me!
i'm jealous of that :(
i don't think we could handle that for the most part
and as for what orbax said, i'm one of those people who avoids confrontation (probably stemming from spending my childhood as a short chubby and weak kid)
and i'm trying to avoid being hypocritical cause making a deal out of it contradicts me trying to make people not make a big deal out of it

Well I was mainly saying that we dont have to call seats around here. We understand that if someone was sitting there, they expect there to be a place for them when they return. And if they had the foresight to grab a comfortable spot, then that gets rewarded.
also consider this situation.
Its a party. Im sitting next to a hot girl and talking to her a lot. I get up to pee. Someone takes my seat hoping to move in. I come back. The following thoughts flash through my mind.
1) The focker took my seat
2) Probably because he wants to make a move on the girl
3) that "girl" is my damn sister!
4) I never get to party with my sister!
5) and the one time I do some arsemunch thinks im trying to hit on her and takes my F@#!ING SEAT THE SECOND I LEAVE.
6) What should I tell the police when they find his mutilated corpse covered in beer and potato chips under a garbage bin somewhere.
Taking a strangers seat could be especially dangerous if it was the situation above. Like, my sister and I love to party, schedules never meet up and I dont see her for weeks on end. We totally wing for eachother too and a female winger's got crazy advantage. And then to mess up a family reunion of sorts with some asshat games?
I guess my point is this: If you are stealing someones seat I just want you to acknowledge to yourself that there is the potential for getting your ass kicked for it and accept that fact as a viable course of action.
that is all. |

we call it 'saves'
saves on anything...on fags, food, drink, joints etc
ie...gizzas saves on that j...
that would indicate the person would like a toke or 2 of the doobie...
u could easily implement the saves insert to the fives thing...
however fives on a fag would indicate u want five tokes of the fag or a mass gay orgy. |
