Don't overlook the last line of the article:

>The Mad Butcher - Sir Peter Leitch, who is a Waiheke resident - says he has never heard of the incidents and has yet to be targeted himself.

I once visited a farm and there was a bunch of piglets, some of them didn't have tails and the farmer said the only way to tell which piglet was biting off the tail of the others was to wait until only one piglet had a tail. Same vibe.

Once none of the piglets have any tails, is he even a problem anymore?

Once all the tails are gone and he's grown up, he'll then have a taste for new tail-sized piglets.

Joke's on him, because I've learned to eat off my own tail...and I'm a pig.

What is this 'only way', more like 'only cost/time saving way' - cause I don't want to pay someone to sit and watch, to see which piglet is doing it?! Something about the wording he used... makes me have lots of questions...

Pigtail priorities. You've got to set them right.

I sure do, I didn't realize it until I read the line.

For reference Sir Peter Leitch founded a nationwide chain of butcher shops called "The Mad Butcher", with him as the radio ad voice acting out that character.

His knighthood is for "services to business and philanthropy".

'free hotdog in his mailbox' sounds like some kind of euphemism, so I'm hoping these are meant to be really awkward love letters.

I had an annual trip with the guys. Someone would always bring a Pono mag. On the way home, we stick it in this guy's mailbox. Once a year, same mailbox. Always wondered what the effect was.

Waiheke is essentially an island full of Real Housewives. Rich, entitled and nothing better to do but get upset over a free sausage.

Big sausage doesn’t care about the little guy. Just type porn into google. Half of it is videos where they can’t afford women!? Where’s that funding coming from!? Big sausage

It’s one thing to do it once and leave someone confused.

It becomes another (harassment) to do it consistently in an effort to distress someone.

Hope this doesn’t blow up with the guy getting further harassed by others thinking it’s funny to them.

It reminds me of the Australian guy who threatened to keep taping a dead fish to the bank's ATM machines until they where fixed, must be the opposite end of the spectrum.

Someone really likes the vendor, but doesn't like the food..

While building rapport and working up the courage to ask them out, they keep buying..

Then they have to do something with the food...

lol First thing I thought of.

See this is the biggest problem here. This sub claiming that it is r/NotTheOnion but there really needs to be onion on a sausage sanga.

Maybe that is the insult. I'll give you a sausage but no onions for you!

"mailbox sausage" is somehow not even close to the least appetizing thing I've ever heard of. It just makes me want to go buy some bratwursts.

Back when WoW came out my rather large guild would all mail hams to the same person. Hundreds of hams a day for months that they'd have to clear out to get their real mail.

edit: Just to be clear, this happened in 2004. Almost 20 years ago.

BirdsbirdsBURDS t1_j5jjav1 wrote

Hope they started selling them to make some money off of that, but to be clear, that’s a dick move on your guilds behalf. There’s a line where such things go from being funny to being harassment.

A few hams in your mailbox might change your attitude.

Guilds weren't that large. I highly doubt you had enough players who could afford to drop that sort of money to mail "hundreds of hams a day" to an individual.

Dude probably got mailed like 7 hams in one week and the story has been spinning ever since.

>Guilds weren't that large.

We had 200+ members on day 1. We migrated from another platform.

>I highly doubt you had enough players who could afford to drop that sort of money to mail "hundreds of hams a day" to an individual.

Hams were like 10 cents. I don't think there was a cheaper item we could send.

extreme doubt

As for if it actually happened, I suppose if it was wintertime, they might actually keep.. I wouldn't complain, being sent good food..

Wait are you saying you sent them virtual hams?

FnkyTown t1_j5kdcdy wrote

Yes. Ham is a food item in World of Warcraft. It costs virtually nothing and since it's not real and WoW doesn't have spoilage, they are eternal.

Racially-Ambiguous t1_j5ltbzu wrote

I think that’s why everyone is in disbelief, they think you meant real hams.
