I know it’s[too late now](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=602672), but characterizing people by their physical characteristics is going catch you a shitload of heat. Unless the person is sitting on you, saying that “she weighs about 300 pounds” will gain you zero sympathy and a whole bunch of grief. ---

That’s not a joke. Cats are a popular topic and you’ll always be asked for pictures. Complaining about weird neighbors, relatives, bosses and co-workers is popular, btw. So the rant about the neighbor was a suitable topic. It just hit a sore point. And calling something a rant isn’t saying it’s a bad thing, although it’s a toss-up whether any particular complaint will gather one or more “you think this is bad, suck it up and get on with life” comments. Those seem to be a function of who’s in what mood at that moment. ---
