Re: Top Asshats of 2012
Reading comprehension fail. I never said YOU called someone a bitch. You chimed in on a thread that someone else had started and HE called the gate person a bitch, and I defended the gate person getting all your panties in a collective wad. You weighed in saying somehow I offended you as well.devilgrrl wrote:I didn't call anyone a bitch. I called you a douche.

What's got your dander up? I'm a "top asshat" because I disagreed with a member of Gate being called a "stupid bitch" and defended her?

Ah....the entitled, fragile burner rears it's ugly stereotype.

But, it reminds me of our Ass Hats
The fuckers that arrived Monday morning in a giant rental RV. Then bailed on Wednesday, but before bailing decided to dump all they're grey water and/or black water. But, before leaving one of the fucks decided to drop a load right where the RV had been.
I guess the neighbors talked to them before they left and someone had puked all over they're RV and they had no way to clean it up. So they just bailed and left BRC.
I hope they saw nothing but the worst parts of the city and will never return!

Re: Top Asshats of 2012
On Friday night around midnight, my sister found two kids (roughly 8 to 10 years old) with a pair of pliers trying to get the $20.00 bill on the Destroy Your Money board at Center Camp. She tried to explain to them why it was wrong to take the money, but quickly realized that the kids were as high as f*ck on some kind of uppers. The kids took off when she went to go locate someone in a position of authority to report some extreme negligence and she didn't see the kids again.
Anyways, those kid's parents win the Asshat of the year award.

Pleasantly surprised not to have found myself on this list, ah well there's always next year...
In fact leaving heavily pregnant (she hopes anyway) woman behind to play in the desert will almost guarantee me this title.
Unlike other asshats though you'd better believe that if this is the case then I WILL receive righteous punishment!!

Re: Top Asshats of 2012
1. Surprisingly, one of the lamplighters. I did my first run carrying this year, and because I didn't "stretch" when someone suggested it, the guy said "yo man, I know you think you're pretty badass with your stupid shaved sideburns but this is serious. If you break one of my lamps I'll break you." I'm thinking seriously? I'm at burning man, volunteering, and someone's making fun of my sideburns? Go drink some water. I wanted to tell him he must be pretty badass with his pink mohawk when he took down his hood afterwards, but I'm not the kind of guy to throw negative energy back in the water. I still felt a sense of accomplishment for having randomly been pulled off the esplanade to do the task the night of the burn, but definitely found out that there are asshats EVERYWHERE lol. I still plan to volunteer for lamplighters every year, and everyone else I met there was absolutely wonderful.
2. My campmates who left moop for me to pick up before it all got blown away in a dust storm, ditched a broken bike on the playa to take home someone else's, and hoarded a yellow bike in their tent. Again, I did my best not to throw negative energy back, but needless to say they won't be returning with me ever again lol.
3. Whoever stole my bike. Not cool. Never needed to lock my bike. This year I did on suggestion, and my baby is still gone.
4. I have to agree with an earlier post. There was A LOT of moop this year, (especially on the road upon exodus, which was actually sickeningly moopy), and A LOT of darkwads. Many very unprepared noobies I can only suspect. The temple burn was also surprisingly loud.
I'm thankful for this post to be able to vent, but I'm hoping that out of all that I experienced this year, will arise an expansion of positive people looking to bring the event back in the right direction. Maybe a larger percentage of veterans to lead by example? Either way I believe there should be A LOT more respect for the city that gifts us with such an amazingly high frequency of vibrational experience. Much love despite. This is the first year I've really felt any need to vent whatsoever, and I will still return every year with the same positive expectations.

You didn't fink on a lamplighter making inappropriate threats. You didn't fink on your thieving campmates. All you were worried about was your "negative energy" quotient. You left 40 pounds of moop in the form of your bike, which you refused to properly lock despite years of telling people to lock their bikes.
And the fucking Temple burn was too loud.
Poor you.

He's not as much of a Grade A asshat as you guys are being to him.
SNark works better with humor, unless you are genuinely angry, in which case, maybe eat some wheaties? Or as Burners would say, drink some water?
OK now Im an asshat too

Re: Top Asshats of 2012
My buddy and I always joke about that on exit, where does the love end? On the streets of BRC- Here brother, my shirt off my back, the last of my whisky, let me cook you a vegan meal and rub your feet.... The love starts to die on that long bumpy road out. Yeah, I cut in your lane, jerks in front of me are going too slow. Then we hit the pavement, glance in the rearview mirror at the blown out Okie trailer surrounded by beat down dusty hippies sitting on the side of the road with a sign reading, no water, help. Later suckers, I got a hot and cot waiting for me in Reno. The Love is like fatalities at BM, if we take it out to the pavement, it's another story.Ugly Dougly wrote:Wow.

Re: Top Asshats of 2012
Last year our truck died between Empire and Nixon. Managed to coast into a nice wide turnout, and guessed it was the battery crapping out. So fuck me for not having a cheap voltmeter, and maybe using it before we left town. We'd left BRC early Sunday, so the traffic wasn't bad on the Exodus trail, but there was steady stream going down 447.
Nobody stopped. Nobody rolled down a window and asked if we needed help. Nobody waved. Nobody even gave us the finger. WTF is wrong with people?
Only about 20 minutes before a state trooper arrived, but a couple hundred vehicles must have gone by. He made a call to Fernley for a tow, and hung out with us for a while. Think the guy who first stopped was the crew chief, and a couple others arrived soon after to gab because they were going off shift. Our 3yo girl was very impressed, even more when the first trooper gave her a little stuffed pink pig w/ a policeman's cap out of his trunk. My partner and I were absolutely impressed, yet suppressing giggles because the first trooper who stopped was black, and the next ones were a stout white gal and a buffed out white guy, all in standard mirror shades, and we're thinking Life Imitates Reno 9-11.
Tow yard was a block from the Napa; got a new battery and out of there within an hour. Love you, Nevada.
