Snippet: Piss Off!

This one has eerie (or perhaps beery) echoes for us. I’ll tell why after the snippet:

“U R in” Trouble
Some people yell, throw things or shut down when they get mad. Not Dr. Giovanni Baula. According to court records in St. Petersburg, Florida, on two separate occasions, the good doctor expressed his ire with Dr. Dylan Dinesh by dousing the latter’s office doors in gallons of fluid that smelled suspiciously like urine. As The Smoking Gun reports, court documents say the liquid “soaked into the front wooden doors, causing irreparable damage.” Dinesh’s practice suffered $6,000 worth of losses, in addition to the $1,500 to replace the doors. Baula was arrested and charged with a felony count of criminal mischief, but released after paying a $5,000 bond. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Baula doesn’t exactly have a clean rap sheet. In 2003, he was fined $10,000 and reprimanded by the Board of Medicine for a number of standard-of-care violations, including improperly prescribing medication for a telehealth client that he never physically examined. His medical license expires in January 2025. [The Smoking Gun, 8/28/2024]

Okay – we lived (and still do) live within a few tens of miles of a small farming town where we often visit for a day trip. It had one of those dollar stores for years, and then another one opened at the end of the block where the original store was located midway. Locals began to notice – a bit of a miasma around the new dollar store, and it didn’t take long to find the cause: The owner of the original store was obviously losing business to the new one, and each evening he’d count the till, restock the shelves, and sweep up.

Most recently though he’d started drinking as he worked, no doubt due to worry. And because this is a country town an not much goes on at night, on his walk home he’d stop to look in the windows of the new store – and relieve himself on the door and the walls…

This man was pissed – in fact, soooo pissed – that he got pissed and then pissed on what he saw as the problem… Hehehehe

(BTW: True fact – if you ask the townsfolk there from around 2014 – 2017 or so, it was the story of the year there.)
