Sad to say, with my PMS and my terrible toothache, emotion dictated me... I beat him before I took him to the police station. Since he's a juvie, the police didn't want anything to do with him... they couldn't even get his name without bypassing legal stuff. Worst thing was that there was nobody I could turn to at that moment!

How terrible! At least you weren't hurt. It's unbelievable that the police were so hamstrung they couldn't even demand his name.

Yes. I realized when I got home, I could have fared a lot worse--what if the kid had back-up? No amount of college-level ROTC could've saved me.

Economy-crippling oil spills! That is what I assign to Mordor!

Seconded. (Although I'm rather more worried about the ecology-crippling aspect.)
(Come to think of it, I really should change my sig - it's becoming less funny with every liter spouting out of that damned hole.)

On a slightly less earth-impacting line, coming home from vacation to a flooded basement. I don't regret missing the terrible thunderstorms (bad ones make me twitchy ever since a near brush with lightning), but the water in the basement was not a nice welcome home gift. Thank God it was only rain water, not sewage, and nothing was seriously damaged.

I assign having a lovely dream that I mysteriously appeared in Britain on a train, in London to be exact, with my grandparents. Then having to wake up from it.

I really miss England and Wales (Scotland we didn't go to).

I second that. I too continue having dreams where I am still in the UK, on a train and everything is wonderful.

I assign packing my things for moving, and my dislike for doing it. Now I shall get off the computer and get to work!

If you woke up before having to navigate your way around the London Underground, you should count yourself lucky.
