This thread is not meant to be used as a serious confessional. The MD community does not hold the authority to honor absolute forgiveness.
What this thread IS intended for....
a place to "have fun" and share our "stinker" actions. By general consensus it has been agreed that a "stinker" is not a contemptible person as defined by Webster, but a person who commits perhaps a "minor misdeed or offense".... the kind kids pull and grownups try not to laugh.
It could even extend to sharing our thoughts on the "stinker behavior" perhaps others might see our "stinkerness" as "not so cute" after all, but past "stinker" and into "offensive.
OH MY..... this could be serious forum material.... being posted by ME???? One with " self-approved - MD top security clearence" ???? 
Now folks... this could be not only "fun", but "beneficial" as well. In order to accomplish that... we must ALL agree to be fair in our assessments, not go about ranting and raving, perhaps speak our piece, but keep it short, to the point, and move on quickly to the next case of "stinkerness". We can also use this thread to simply "laugh our sox off." and learn to "forgive" others for their "stinkerness".
Remember: "Even God doesn't judge us until the end"
Okay... I'm willing to start...

I work with the public as many of you know. I am in a resource room with coworkers, not all of whom play nicely. I critique resumes and help people in preparing for interviews.
So yesterday.... I was working with a young man when a coworker offered unsolicited advice which she is known to do frequently. Normally, differences in opinion should be handled other than in front of a client. But... I've just about had it with her.
My "stinkerness" ?.... I assured her publicly that I knew what I was doing. (she was in public that she made it seem otherwise ... withnot hearing it all of course)
She came back with a smile and "I was just butting in"
I added to my "stinkerness" with a smile on my face saying, "Then just butt out."
I'm emmbarrassed to say a nearby client said, "Now be nice"
I put on an obvious false smile and said, "We are just playing" .... an out and out lie and offense.
Ok... who wants to take the gavel on this first case of "stinkerness" ????
Just how bad was I???? Forgiven? Unforgiven?

When my brother Scott and I were much younger, we lived by a couple of ponds and marshes in Wisconsin.
Small town, quite boring, unless your 9 with on the fly creativity.
Amazing what two boys can do to pass time with nothing more then said ponds and marshes a five gallon bucket, a bowling ball, ( that came later)
It was a not an overly hot day so we decided to explore the pond and go jumper hunting. You know, frogs. With pockets full and quickly running out of hand to keep our bounty in we stumbled across a floating in the water we over turned, white five gallon bucket. A gift from the child god's, a solution to our problem. Our victory was short lived. We quickly came to realize that we couldn't get many more then what we were currently hold in our own pockets and fist, for they would keep jumping out of the bucket.
My brother remembered that there was an old bowling ball in the neighbor yard. Who would have known that a spray painted bowling ball was meant for decoration. Giving it no more then a forgotten moment of thought we snagged the bowl and headed back to the pond.
After an hour or so of hunting up jumpers, 3/4 of a bucket full of live, some what alive, and well past dead frogs we headed back to our house. Needless to say the frogs didnt feel much like jumping after their ordeal. So what are we to do with a four gallons of would have been the worlds best jumpers? A car comes by and 1+1+double sugar kool aide + frogs = on the spot resolution. A handful of frogs found flight from the cover of a side of the country road. And first shot was perfectly landed on the windshield of a passing car. Which stopped, and the owner got out and wouldn't ya know it never once looked at the side of the road, but up in the sky. It was hilarious. The next few cars didn't stop, but just turned on their windshield wipers. But all looked up at the sky.
Mom, my dutiful mom finally looked out the window for her checking up of us. Completely forgetting our mothers predictable routine we were busted red handed.
" YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE DOING" was our hello, and like a starters gun the rest of the frogs took flight. Our luck was always perfect back then and low and behold, 30 or 40 remaining frogs with in the bucket comes landing on a farmer driving his tractor. Splish, splosh, splats, green rain of jumpers landed on him, hitting perfectly this huge red rolling target. He did stop and we did run. Mom was outside for a while having a chat with the guy. We knew the best place for us to be and where she would want us to be was in our bedroom.
Mom came in and said nothing. Just left us in our rooms. Well past dinner. This made us completely bored. Bored children with a few pockets of frogs, resolved that no punishment is gonna get any worst them what we are doing. Sneaking out of our rooms on our bellies we wiggled our way to the kitchen where our mom was sitting at the table. Mom always wore lose flip flops. Me taken the left foot, my brother taking the right placed the remaining frogs between her flip flop straps and her feet. She shot up swishing them tight to her foot as we bolted out into the back yard, laughing. Mom the super tomboy, chased after us.
Man the following 6 weeks were the most boring of our entire life.
This was just the tip of the ice burg of pranks and tricks we pulled as kids. the best had to be MOM BRANDON (( my other little brother) FELL ON SCISSORS!!!
* piece of old Styrofoam cooler, , broken tip scissors, ruin t shirt do to confiscated ketchup, and the younger flopping on his back on the floor. PREFECT.

Now lj (if you are still around that is).. as a non-interested 3rd party observing this
would you ...
A) find humor and offer a  for me defining myself in the matter
or
B) found one or another more guilty? which?
C) simply been disgusted
I feel I didn't really need to add "butt out"
but I do feel I needed to assure my client that I knew what I was doing... she just jumped in without the facts. I think she was mad that he had requested me specifically.... I had helped his parents with their resumes.

C) simply been disgusted Yes
A) not only yourself but the client.
B) you do not strike me to be one without patience. She was guilty of repeatedly breaking the in office rule. I'm pretty sure she has had heard about it before and was asked to modify her behavior.
C) of her continue poor judgment of butting in.

Hopefully A.
Hard to tell without being there and feeling the tension in the air first-hand. I doubt if it was C.
As Im sure you now realize in hindsight, this situation would have been better resolved with fewer words. Once the client has left the building, then get the bitch by the hair and make sure she understands.

Back in highschool we had a nice rural location to hide out at and it was there we always had our beer party.
Everyone that knew about it came so there were alot of young drunkards,including the one every school has that can drink like a fish and is damn proud of that fact.
So...it came time for the regular ritual of who can slam that bottle of Pabst faster than anyone else.
The fish knew he would again win the contest so he placed a few bets and encouraged anyone to try and beat him.
The fish lost to everyone in the contest.
Seems those bottles when emptied of beer and refilled with urine just dont chug down near as quick as those fermented hops and grains do.

Burns.... I just loved this story... you stinker !!!! Your mom sounds cool. I worked at the youth center when I was in high school. I always said I prefered "Boys Day" over "Girls Day" cause the boys were 1) more fun & 2) a bigger challenge... Boys (grown especially) have been challenging me ever since. "Ask and ye shall receive"
and thanks for having such confidence in me!
LJ -- thanks for coming back. & your further comments -- good idea!

Annie -- that's ALL? you got to share???? Come-on !! We're waiting for your "stinker story" !!! You can't get away with just a girly "eeeeewwwww" on Jankia
Hmmmmm..... Jankia.... I'm not sure which one of us was worse.  
I went to one of those parties in hs. A guy I had a huge crush on also went to the party. I don't think he knew I had a crush on him until the party. (He was a year older, but sat by me in Spanish) Anyway... I talked him into "joining in" just a little bit. I learned Monday at school that he got very drunk and couldn't give the sermon he was supposed to the next day at church.  I was sooooo ashamed! Needless to say.... a "relationship" never developed.

Well...my stinkynesss was actualy part of a group effort.
A bunch of us had that premeditated devious plan worked out in advance.
We perpetrators had to cool said instrument of deceit so the fish wouldnt turn it down for being warm beer.
Diabolical drunkin highschool kids...those were the days.

Ha! I ain't goin' to no "stinker" corner!
Here...how's this for being a "stinker?"
Years ago, when I worked in the accounting department at a textile mill, my desk was the first one as you came thru the door into a big office area. The department supervisor had just exited the ladies room from right outside the office door & was "sashaying" back to her desk in the very back corner of the office.
Something caught my eye as she went by & I turned to look to find her hem caught up in the top of her pantyhose with a loooooooooong trail of t.p. following behind her.
Yep, I just let her keep right on with her "sashay."
