It's hyperbole
the point is, opening a door and flipping a switch can be a really bad thing. You can't just say "Oh he's just opening doors and flipping swithces, that's not bad."
Oh, well I thought you were joking.
There was no figurative element in my original post. What OP did was
literally open a door he shouldn't of opened and flick one switch on an AM transmitter that probably doesn't do anything. If there was any sort of damage to be done it wouldn't of been that easy. The point of the post wasn't to say that what OP did wasn't bad, but like, accidentally kicking a ball through someone's window is about 5x worse than this. Like, egging someone's house probably does more damage than this. Urinating on a street corner is probably worse than this. And while all these things are 'bad' by some stretch of the imagination,
contacting the FBI was hardly an appropriate reaction lmfao
