People who mess with you for no reason.

Why must they be this way?

My dad constantly picks up stuff from tables and counters and throws it on the floor, and then makes me get down and pick it up.

He has directly stated that he does this solely to be an asshole.

Why? Just...why?

GLORIOUSLeader

Because schadenfreude.  

Bob

I think you meant schadenfreude.

That fucker!

Wasting resources like that...

Bob

Only if he's throwing things that are easily broken or food or things like that. He might just be doing it with cheap plastic doohickeys that won't break but are still an inconvenience to pick up. Therefore, no waste, assuming you don't count the time exerted into picking up and tossing the object and directing someone else to pick it up.

Chagen

Well, he throws trash from the counter to the floor. I just have to get down and throw it away...but why can't I just pick it up from the counter and throw it away?

He also makes sure I can never get it before he picks it up, and then drops it one at a time so it take the longest amount of time possible.

I was actually thinking of the stuff used to clean it up if it wasn't easily breakable or very undesirable to get dirty.

Oh it's just trash? Well okay then.

Bob

Well, that's certainly a huge waste of time for both parties, at least.

Perhaps he likes to see you on your kness/bent over?

Chagen

.....Oh god...

Bob

And just like that, people who mess with you for no reason became Bob's favorite thread ever.

Well if your town ever has an incest competition, your dad could enter you...

For all the times I've thought your father was a douche, Chuggles, this is downright hilarious. Hell, considering how my friends and I treat each other, I'd probably do that to my kid, should I have one.
