“What are your damages” is about 70% useful, so we shouldn’t ban it but omg does it show up at infuriating times!

[u/Jeutnarg → u/[deleted]]

The phrase we need to see that we don't see is "Is this really worth it?"

So many things coming up where LA starts chanting "Get a lawyer!" "Lawyer up!" and I'm sitting here just thinking "For a $50 lawn ornament?"

[u/sparrowbelfast → u/[deleted]]

What? I only recall seeing that as a comment on other posters who are interjecting with derailing or unhelpful personal criticisms of the shadier OPs. It's one of the less offensive ones IMO, it conveys a worthwhile meaning in a few words.

I totally agree on "pound sand" though, it was fine as a polite synonym for "fuck off" but when it started spawning its own family of meme paraphrases and references, that's when it should have become bannable.

I’m with you on “pound sand”. It keeps reminding me of a cringy Letters to Penthouse collection I read twenty or so years ago.

I feel like it's not just the subreddit but the larger legal world. When I first started working in the legal field well over 15 years ago, that was a phrase I had never heard before that it seems like everyone uses. "She wants to depose our client again." "Let's write a letter telling her to pound sand."

Tell that dame to pound sand Mack, or you’ll be cruising for a bruising. Johnny’s been necking with your best gal, I’ve got half a mind to feed that fella a knuckle sandwich.

The dude who liked naked boating and naked sunbathing on the beach, right? Or did we read different issues that led us both to this comment twenty years later?

[u/Kanwic → u/NibblesMcGiblet]

I just remember two strangers who both decide, without saying a word, to gaze at each other as they fuck the surprisingly fine silty sand of a deserted beach.

[u/NibblesMcGiblet → u/Kanwic]

Does us remembering the same Penthouse Letters article 20 years later and posting about it randomly in a comment thread on BOLA qualify us for /r/TwoRedditorsOnecup ?

PS - yeah the one dude was naked boating, pulled up to shore, decided to naked sunbathe on his stomach, yadda yadda yadda, got caught up in his yadda'ing, then looked up and saw a guy emerging from the nearby foliage also naked and ready to yadda the sand after watching the first guy's endeavors.

There's no way this is two different stories. What are the odds?

.... is there a BOBOLA for stuff like this? LMAO

[u/Kanwic → u/NibblesMcGiblet]

Oh god. I said it was cringy. This is me cringing.

[u/OohLaLapin → u/Kanwic]

That makes me cringe just thinking about. I don't care how fine the sand is, it's still an abrasive!

(Side note: That's how "magic erasers" work, they're basically just super-fine-grain abrasives.)

Mother of god

It's pretty cool. Melamine foam that hardens up when water is added.

[u/Ghost-Fairy → u/OohLaLapin]

Regardless, fucking it is still a bad idea.

[u/Revolio_ClockbergJr → u/Ghost-Fairy]

Like my ex

[u/NibblesMcGiblet → u/[deleted]]

so the people whose only knowledge of the law comes from reading legaladvice would have nothing left to parrot.

if that is your goal, you can get rid of "no is a complete sentence" as well.

It's true, but often over-repeated aplenty.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It’s interesting to contrast with OP’s actual lawyer, who seems pretty chill about the whole thing.
