Fucking old crusty white people get in my face

[derspiess]

How far after hours was this?  Was it like 5:02pm or something more like 2:30am?

[Caliga]

What are your working hours, Scip?   Do you work work most of the day, or do you "work" most of the day like the Colonel?

"My visiting hours are 1:00 -2:00 PM, alternate Thursdays. Other times, I release the hounds."

[Scipio]

My office is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Mon through Fri.  Whenever I am not in my office, my dogs are outside.  It's very obvious when I am not in my office.

The dogs are contained behind an electric in-ground fence.  The city makes it almost impossible for me to have an actual fence (months-long permitting process and discretionary shut-down by the city if not compatible with the historical character of the neighborhood).

Very obvious in what way?

Very obvious in what way?

The man-eating hounds were the first clue ...

So what happens when you are off to court during office hours, people enter at their own risk?

Seems to me if you are running a business out of your home you should have the expectation that "office hours" will not always be strictly observed and you need to govern yourself accordingly.

I thought it was the alarm that goes "woof woof woof".

[Josephus]

He may not have a sign but he has an audible warning to that effect.  It goes "woof woof woof".

Seems like a waste with those dogs around.

I just spilled my coffee, thanks. 

[Scipio]

Very obvious in what way?

Steel security door with vertical bars.

I have no secretary, etc.

[DGuller]

So, when you're in, that door is wide open, and when you're out, it's closed in an obvious way?

[Monoriu]

I think a pissed off client maybe quite inclined to spread the word around and discourage potential clients from doing business with you.  Think about the loss of potential business...

[Josephus]

So, when you're in, that door is wide open, and when you're out, it's closed in an obvious way?

I submit, your honour, that on the day in question the door was not closed in an obvious way.

[DGuller]

Scipio does seem to be demanding of the people who put food on his table.  He expects them to read the dog's mind, to read the door's mind, and to properly deduce at which time during the day they're not trespassing.  The sum total of these expectations might be a little unreasonable. 

On the other hand, the expectation that you're not going to face a dog with a history of violence towards humans when you visit your lawyer does strike me as reasonable to some degree.

[Ed Anger]

I would have shot the fucker. I support Scip in having people mauled.
