[quote=Blogstar][quote=scaredyclassic]Like dividers on the freeway. Why pay for that.
It’s reasonable to pay for those.
I don’t know if this is a decent case. But it seems like it might have some value.
Once you build the pier you have a duty to maintain it maybe regulate crazy shit going on on it.[/quote]
I could go with the buoy thing. If I saw them I wouldn’t think they were out of place anyway, as crowded as things get nowadays. But I hope there is no decent case against the municipality in this instance.[/quote]
I doubt it’s worth much if anything. They did close the pier for 60 days. Interesting to see if they take any action to prevent future harm. That would be inadmissible at trial but still interesting
fear and its safe resoltuion must be encoded deep in our DNA under HAHA![/quote]
Yes! We anxiety-filled, nervous types just have better imaginations! 😉
Personally, I’ve never found someone else’s fear to be funny in any way. It scares me when people laugh at others who are clearly distressed. Likewise, I’ve never understood how people could laugh at “funny” videos of people getting hurt. Pretty sick if you ask me.

America’s most depressing home videos … should follow up with videos of medical repercussions.
candid camera was softer but still it was about watching people in various states of distress and confusion.
i guess we like to see others in pain so long as we dont see any of the reality.
[quote=CDMA ENG]Well then… I’ll admit to being a jerk…
I have laughed at guys jumping out of the water when a fin pops of of the water and everybody pulls their feet and hands in.

I’ve laughed and I’ve laughed at myself after cleaning the figurative cr*p out of my wetsuit a several years ago.
The funniest and briefly scariest was a weekday mid-fall morning, the marine layer was thick, a light foggy drizzle, I’m out off of Bolsa Chica pretty much by myself on my surf board and it’s getting late maybe 9AM so the crowds are gone and the morning traffic is light on PCH.
I’m just enjoying a decent swell, watching the porpoises way out. sea bird, a oouple pelicans fishing. A really enjoyable way to spend the pre-job hunt post layoff stress.
Then it happened. That cutting water sound. I snap my head around to see the wedge dorsal fin and a very large torpodo shaped ‘fish’, right on me, right under me, brushing my foot as I jerk.
It came up on the other side for a breath that familiar blow sound. I think it was laughing at me.
I was laughing at me and feeling really out of my element.
