I watched two women go from being perfect strangers to best friends to mortal enemies in 4 1/2 minutes over that stick.  They started gabbing and comparing instabook photos without paying attention to the cashier.  Both carts full of groceries were rung up, combined in bags, and carted before they realized it and when the cashier asked for the money they went from 0 to 11 on each other; blaming the other for not using the stick.  Almost came to blows and the manager had to come over and threaten to call the law if they didn't cool it.

I got to go to a newly opened lane and watch while they sorted all that shit out with the manager staying between them to prevent a fight.

Sometimes its fun to stand back and watch the world burn.

 

Haha. It clearly is the job of the person in front to put the divider behind their shit.

I sometimes intentionally don't put it down just to witness the chaos that ensues in front of me.

When I started working for a European-based company I quickly came to see the advantage of using 24-hour time. So much easier. 
As well as using the “9 March 2020” convention. There’s a reason the military has adopted it. It’s much much easier. 

We also used Zulu time in the military. When you're steaming east to west, west to east, constantly going back and forth and dogging the watch every time you turn around it gets a bit old. Why even bother keeping time?

So you know when to have a cigarette?  

I remember right after my father (PO-3, U.S.S. Liddle) died, I remembered his story about how he was in charge of bunk clocks on the Frigate as it made way from Morocco to the Cuba blockade.  Nobody cared about the timezones en route except for when they could step to deck for their Player's Navy Cut cigarette while the smoking light was on.  The cigarettes were especially cut to be smoked a little faster because of the lights on the beams.  Anyway, after he dies, my wife and I head out to Fredericksburg to hike the Rock and drink wine.  We duck into a little shop, and there's a 50 year old tin of Player's Navy Cut (no cigs, obviously).  I immediately buy it and the clerk tells me, "Wonderful antique, no idea what Navy cut means."  Neither did I, I tell her.  /csb.

There are two kinds of countries in the world. Those who've put a man on  the moon, and those who use the metric system..... Always thought that was hilarious, but suspect it's not entirely true.

It's definitely not true as NASA is using the metric system now.

Corporate speak for when people should use the word 'STANDARDS" and they insert 'metrics.'   WTF is wrong with you people?  Standards are the expectations and measurements of achievement.  Metrics are just old crescent wrenches.

That reminds me, people with small penises (peni?) driving jacked up trucks that don't adjust their headlights with the result that their headlights are always shining right in the eyes of all of us people with normal to huge penises (peni?)

I hate how the local Amazon packages power tools like cable TV packages.

It's all completely fucking random.  This drill comes with 2 large batteries and a slow chargers. That driver comes with 1 small battery and a case.  The hammer drill comes with no battery with 3 boxes of drill bits and accessories.  Etc.

 

If you build a system up -- which you obviously have to since the battery keeps you captive -- through these packages then you end up with a bunch of surplus accessories.  Like QVC channel and A&E.

 

If you buy things piece-wise, which is the logical way to do it, the prices are insane.

People of low IQ, with reading difficulty, and no sense of humor, playing Evil Apples. Jesus, people, I'm trying to chill. I don't mind losing, provided the obviously funniest card in a hand gets the vote, but when a moron judge takes the full 60 seconds and then picks the dumbest card, well, that's not exactly stress relieving.

James Corden isn't funny and just irritates the shit out of me

There's something about him that reminds me of a trained seal or whatever. Like he's just learned how to perform a trick but doesn't truly understand what he is doing. 

Also, he has a poorly concealed and obviously high need for the approval of others.

Hotels are getting rid of the travel size shampoo and soap. They’re being replaced by full size bottles that we all use.  Feels very unsanitary 

I actually prefer the full size with pump top, I always felt the little travel size packages were a huge waste of resources.

Hotels that don't issue refunds for cancellations.  Go fuck yourselves.  

When you have one that is keeping your deposit (half of the projected cost) for a Bar Mitzvah party that has to be canceled because of Covid19, get back to me.

Although I guess this should be in the Non-Trivial things topic.

I think that we should all answer those email.  Something like, "Thank you for your efforts in this time of national need.  It frees me up to attempt a new world record for number of ejaculations in one day.  Oh, and thank your wife (daughter, mom, girlfriend) for her assistance."

I guess I should be thankful I haven't gotten one with a open send list and the customary Reply All "Thank You" fuckery.

The little ones the hotels give are usually free.  And sanitary 

Have you looked at the housekeeping staff lately?  

Thanks but no thanks, I'll buy and carry my own.  Sanitary? KKL may have been the housekeeper and rubbed the bottle on her butt.

are the washcloths too little to wash on "hot" with a dab of bleach just like other linen?

WTF did I miss with regard to washcloths?

FTR, i don't use them anyhoo.  I just scoot my fermundah cheese/ butt-funk onto that round body pillow thingy on most of the beds.

The water they wash towels and wash cloths with at most hotels is so fucking hot they are usually still warm when you check in.

Seriously doubt you should worry too much about them.

The television remote is much worse.

Well, the TV remote is the key to hotel room porn....

PSA:  You better lube up well. That rubber is grippy if you get my drift. Nobody needs speed rash.
