Can whoever is harassing my cow please stop.

It's winter, there's not a lot of grass. She's not happy.

Please cease your pestering. Please.

	Harassing, Mr. Tucker. I'm not filing a sexual harassment case for my cow. She's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You didn't specify the type of harassment. I'm just concerned about the poor thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't bother, if it's not a council cow, I doubt they'll be interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd keep that quiet, before you know it you'll end up having to get a fucking parking permit for her or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Cow Tax It is to my knowledge that no tax exists for livestock within Great Britain, including that of their 'emissions'. However, aforementioned cow shall no longer be tethered to council property, as I am erecting her a shed.

Re: Planning Permission

Building a detached garage/shed of less than 30 square metres floor area would not normally need building regulations approval if:

The floor area of the detached garage is less than 15 square metres.

OR

The floor area of the garage is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, provided the garage is at least one metre from any boundary, or it is constructed from substantially non-combustible materials.

I hope that helps.

	Maybe we should build a shack for her. With locks from our future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well that is certainly an interesting prospect. What do 'locks of the future' entail, if I may ask? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Definition of MOLEST 1 : to annoy, disturb, or persecute especially with hostile intent or injurious effect Definition of HARASS 1 a : exhaust, fatigue b (1) : to annoy persistently (2) : to create an unpleasant or hostile situation for especially by uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct So roughly the same thing (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2013-01-09 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Thank you for your concern. I think she'll be okay. As long as people stop trying to milk her. We have shops for milk. But thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mo·lest (m-lst) tr.v. mo·lest·ed, mo·lest·ing, mo·lests 1. To disturb, interfere with, or annoy. 2. To subject to unwanted or improper sexual activity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was using only the first definition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	reinedescoeurs 2013-01-09 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Everyone, or at least, most because you're such a special snowflake, only knows it by the second. So your argument is still invalid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isabellane 2013-01-09 12:44 am UTC (link)
	How is my argument invalid when I used the word correctly? Just because most people don't associate it with the first definition doesn't mean it's an incorrect one. Or, you know, you could have stayed out of it given that Sherlock here accepted my use of the word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I couldn't really find the energy to put in to debating whether or not it was a British thing (/European/slightly North African?) to use the term 'molest' to solely mean the second definition. We don't use it to mean anything other than to imply unwanted sexual actions.

So whilst the dictionary definition is of course inarguably correct, culturally we rely on the second definition as our primary one for the term 'molest'.

	Still doesn't mean I was wrong to use it. Just means that culturally it's not used that way. That's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sh_rl_ck_d 2013-01-09 12:56 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. There is no point of contention there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
