All I can say is I just pulled the "I'm not ready for this just now, but I'll let you know" after a very awkward near-kiss and I feel like unwanted sounds from an electronic device* for about 30 minutes would be an apt punishment.
*get your mind out of the gutter.
Hey, I used to live in Somerville!
a sneak peak at a script for an episode of law and order?
how come a false confession claiming a false motive is a cause for punishment towards the second victim?
sounds like an anal bureaucrat, carrying out his own draconic justice in pyjamas and slippers at three in the morning - by means of a boombox and the latest cher-album. don't think i'd want to live with that. good thing he sees a therapist, too...
Such careful handwriting would appear to indicate arrested development on the part of the writer, who never got past the Palmer Method.
I bet the writer also wrote a passive-agressive note about the unwanted electronic noises to the "deserving" victim of punishment. And "she" is probably the writer, kind of like "my friend" who is always the one with the problem you don't want to admit to having.
Can anyone say "schizophrenic"? Must be an awful world to live in.
unwanted sounds from an electronic device.. Hmm. Sounds like having to listen to my (15 YO)niece's kind of music...
GAHHHH!!!
.. It's not that I'm OLD. Your music really DOES suck!!
Almost looks like a computer 'handwriting' font -- the two 'punishment's are spookily identical -- but the last two lines are squidged up so it can't be.
Obsessive-compulsive rather than schizophrenic? Who knows.
May I be the first to say...
creepy!!
I am confused.
I concur with Jonathan on the creepiness factor.
Judgening from the handwriting the writer is female and refers to herself in the third person - alway a red flag in my book.
After reading this note, pardon me, I'm going to take a shower now.
I hate unwanted sounds from electronic devices at 3 a.m. Jeez!! That would make me extremely cranky the next day, for sure.
Nothing false about that confession.
Oh, this is an excuse that ALL or most victims use...
"She admits that she did something wrong, which isn't her fault."
Ahahaha!!
So, who's fault is it, my dear? The QUEEN of England...that's it!
Get off your *high horse* and start taking responsibility for ALL of your actions.
Although, the writing isn't too bad in this letter...
If you admit you did something wrong, then you are at fault.
I would punish anyone who tortured me with 'unwanted sounds at three a.m. for 30 minutes.'
but in a passive/aggressive kind of way, you know?
When someone makes you feel confused, it's a sign of evil. Get away quickly.
i love this crazy/stupid apology that doesnt really apologize. THat's like saying "i'm sorry if you think i did something wrong"
At first I thought it was an elementary school child's report. The very precise, freshly learned cursive and vague "she" read like an essay to me.
Then I saw the therapists' office thing and now I have no clue! Maybe a parent writing what they discovered between sessions for the child to hand to the therapist? They decided they'd rather sit there silently the entire hour instead of discussing their inner demons so they threw this on the floor.
it says the power plug or batteries should have been disconnected after 30 minutes of unwanted sound from the electronic device..
I wonder how long the punishment ACTUALLY went on. Does it continue to this day? Did the electronic device operate on batteries, or household current?
Very perplexing. And yes: Creepy.
30 minutes of Bjork. Cruel and unusual punishment.

was one of the random finds at the bottom of the page when the page loaded.
@ Sammy Davis ... no, no, no. The part that wasn't her fault was the admitting part. That's all. She really did whatever it was she admitted doing. But she didn't mean to admit it.
Everything gets all confused when you've got all these different voices living inside your head. You end up admitting things one of the other voices did and all. Very understandable position she's in.
The "up" side is that one of the voices is often a good editor and keeps you from spelling words incorrectly or mis-using apostrophes.
I don't understand this. hm.
This looks like the type of note I would have taken (while observing a teacher) when I was in grade school. I was a nit-picky teacher's pet (and still am).
Btw, I can just picture the kid holding a pencil to her chin and going "Hmmm. This is interesting... Go, on" (you know, playing psychiatrist).
Sorry about the punctuation (and multiposts)!
Oops! Sorry for the over-share. All I can tell you is that the wines were too various.
I agree..creepy. I used to work at a restaurant in a small town and there was this young gal who would come in everyday and write crazy rants on the napkins.
Thank goodness for medication.
A guy wrote this. He had a girlfriend whom he badgered until she finally confessed to something. She got him back by doing a little "self pleasure" at 3 a.m. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
That'll teach him!
It's always someone else's fault.
