I know it's different but this kind of reminds me of the guy who apparently made himself the parking police the other day when my fiance and I were at the store. We parked in a handicap parking spot, with a placard, because I'm disabled. When we got out of the store and were about to leave we took the placard down because you're not supposed to drive with it in the windshield. You can even get a hefty fine if a cop see it in your windshield while you're driving. (we're in Washington State by the way.) Not a minute after we took it out of the windshield and my fiance was backing the car out of the spot this guy stands in the way so if she backs up any farther she'd hit him. All he wanted to know was where the placard was. He basically wanted to know whether we were parking there legitimately. I was still holding the dang thing in place sight! And it hand been there only a minute before, how long could he have been possibly been deciding to confront us? And we were friggin' leaving anyway!!! People seriously need to mind their own business sometimes or chill out or something. In the case of the subject matter of the comic, yeah water conservation is important but sheesh.

What happened next? Did you show him the placard? Did he try to steal it or did he apologise? Please let me know~

Since I had the placard in my hand still (in plain sight) I waved it exaggeratedly to show the guy that, yes we had a placard. And he did this kind of passive-aggressive, half apology that was all over in his voice when he said, "Oh, I was just checking." Obviously not well enough if you couldn't see it in my hand in plain view until I waved it at you, or when it was in our window only a minute before.

Sounds like he didn't want to accept that he was wrong. Glad that he left soon afterwards though.

Yeah, pretty much. I was glad he left right after that too.Β Β

I get it. "Good" behavior taken too far.Β
Also,"Firefighters can't save water for you to waste"Β
The more you know.

There's a wildfire. Without water, it is going to spread. This is why we need firefighters during summer season.

I think you missed the point of the joke and took the last part too literal...
π: 0 β©: 1
The joke is that her friend has been constantly reminding people about the drought when they use water because and water usage is restricted do to shortage.
She's poking fun at her friend and she would really say that to a fireman (I assume) and that's why it's funny.

Oh, Ha ha ha. I get it. Sorry!

So funny! Β So true that I've seen so many people doing that! (minus the fireman)
I lived in NorCal until last year, and we have/had fires about every 4 to 8 years based on lightning strikes and the stuuuupid firebug people who thought it was funny to light a fire. Β There's been a drought in CA for the last 20 years (I lived there for at least that long before I moved), but it's only been an "ISSUE" for...like, the last 4 or 5 years for some reason. We--they, now, I guess--have been getting less rain and snow for a very long time, but it just finally got to be enough for people to pay attention.Β

**says to the ocean** WE'RE IN A DROUGHT!

This is very funny. It almost felt like that for the 15 years or so drought that we had in Australia. Whenever you had to use more than aΒ litre of water for something, someone would be like 'Don't waste it!'

lol that is literally me and I also live in CA... I probably wouldn't say that to the firefighter though.. It's part of their job to use water to save people.

None of them are actually legitimate. The vast majority of our water is used up by agriculture first, commercial/business second, and private consumers (and firefighters) makes up an insignificant percent.
But the state would rather blame and penalize its citizens than restrict its businesses. Even though there's literally nothing we can do. No amount of conservation on our part will have an effect.

Hey I live in Cali too
Only in Southern California
where wild fires happen so often no one cares about them anymore
π: 0 β©: 1
Also only in So Cal - a place where earthquakes happen and the only way you know is because people tweet about it, then go back to sleep.
"lol earthquake kthxbai"

yep
Only sometimes people don't even bother unless something gets knocked down off a shelf
π: 0 β©: 0
I suppose that would be me, making a point about saving water whether it's necessary or not

I live in southern California, I'll be damned if I don't have a nice soothing bath once a week.

Sounds exactly like a highschool senior in my junior time. Even if what you were doing had nothing to do with water. You could be working on an essay and he'd run up and say, "WE'RE IN A DROUGHT!"

I can definitely relate to this, since I live in the Southern part of California. Still waiting for that 'El NiΓ±o' rain.

In some ways I feel sorry for those in CA but at the same time I don't as you guys had a chance to ride through it by building a desalination plant in (if memory serves ) San Diego but politics and over concern for the local environment killed it halfway through construction.

Actually, I'd suspect cost. This country and all of its states are in desperate financial shape, and such a project would require a lot of money. That means more taxes.

I can't argue with you on that one.

So that's where all that downpour from the last two months have come from!
