- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I just ducked under. Maybe my back brushed against it when I did so but that was it. They were steel chains too if I remember well so it's not like I was going to break something. She claimed that "I could have gotten hurt" which is complete nonsense and I'm pretty sure that she made it up.
There is a certain type of person who when they see someone do something that is different from what they are used to they feel the urge to self-righteously stop it and will invent all sorts of excuses to justify themselves doing so. They're the kind of people who call the cops on kids playing in a skate park. I'm pretty sure that was one of them.
I mean it's also entirely possible that it's the policy of the store and she was just trying to do her job, just saying.
