HA HA

I am a vindictive person, I love seeing people get what's coming to them in. I cannot stand genuinely arrogant bastards spreading their greatness all across the land without check. In this case the guy was cock-sure that I've never sold a photo because I have lesser equipment than him. What an ass.

I guess my vindictive streak has alot to do with the industry I work in, we get alot of those sorts in factories and manufacturing shops. Tends to stifle innovation and improvement.

You say all of that and yet you're not posting the picture. I don't get it. Crop out his face if you want.

...because he asked me not to circulate the picture and I gave him my word that I wouldn't. Good enough I got a humorous story to tell.

See, when I give my word like that I don't go back on it. Just an odd personality quirk I have.

Not to mention good for business. If you get a rep for keeping things to yourself-- even for people you don't like-- you can get more opportunities.

...and I got a picture of it. :guffaw:
:techman:

haha that's great :D

my roomies are all musicians, so I frequently hear about people they know that just got the latest and greatest guitar/amp/effects pedal/drums etc . . . the sad truth is that you can't buy musical skill, it's humorous to see these guys get the cool toys but have limited skill :lol:
I have also noticed this. The guys who can afford it buy the big, impressive rigs (just like _______'s!) and the big million-piece drum kits with 10 linked kick drums (just like _______ uses!) After they've rubbed your nose in it, they take up their new, shiny toys and proceed to loudly and at great length demonstrate their utter lack of skill, talent or musicality.
 
One of my hobbies is snapping pictures for the local newspapers like the County Star and the Wayne County Mail. Once in awhile they buy a picture for a few bucks and I get a fleeting moment of fame. I do it just for fun, I have no desire to be a professional photographer.

Ok, so there was a minor incident down the road at one of the many little companies that dot this town. I have an emergency-band scanner so I heard the call-in to the fire-department.

Raced down there with my good old 2.5 megapixel Old Kodak Camera that is held together with tie-wraps and tape. Got down there to photograph and my arch rival Guy With Expensive New Camera is there. The inevitable penis-size I mean camera-feature comparison begins and quite clearly I am outclassed by his wireless bluetooth 1,024 yottapixel mobile image capture and processing center (that cost more than my car). Nasty bastard he is he announces "this is why the paper doesn't accept any of YOUR photos (if only he knew).

Then he promptly turns on his heel, slips on the ice and drops his camera which explodes into several expensive chunks.

...and I got a picture of it. :guffaw:

No I'm not going to be a bastard and post it. :lol:

So any other great HA HA/ironic moments out there? Share your story.

Was his name Eddie Brock?

So, you're not really as vindictive as you're boasting then? :p Just giving you a hard time!

Mr Awe
 
The only time I can think of was when a friend of the family was boasting that he had an audition for a TV show and that he was going to be a star. As I've been in the local paper more than a few times (usually pimping myself or some charity work) he made sue to tell my family that he would be a real star compared to me.

The same week he found out he didn't get the part (which is a blow as it's a terrible show) I was in the paper pimping out my appearance in a new BBC drama.

Thats what happens to people when they tell me my job is silly.
