I belong to an internet message board. It's a regular part of my internet life and for the most part, it remains safely ensconced within that boundary. There are occasions, however, when the message board seeps into my Real Life.
Most recently, it's been with the smiting of people. See, on this particular message board, there is this karma function. You can use it to smite someone or applaud them, according to your whim. The vast majority of the time, karma is left alone and no one really thinks about it except for silly little jokes. Lately, I've found myself wanting to give people internet smites in my Real Life.
Use the phrase 'puppy niece' one too many times in my presence and you may find yourself the recipient of my personal smite.
Cut me off in traffic?
Smite.
Offer me two sizes of coffee and call them medium and large?
Smite.
Allow your child to shred the exam table paper all over the room and not pick up at least some of it?
Smite. Repeatedly.
