Where was the appointment at/for?
When i was a kid, i had a gen 1 holographic charizard pokemon card. my fat dumb 11 year old self traded it away. as an adult hearing about them going for tens of thousands of dollars and still kicking myself for what i did as a kid.
Thats when you tell her that. Its nice of you to be there for someone but that doesnt give them the excuse to take your time. Had way too many old coworkers get a ride from me once and think thats an open door for you to be their butler.
>hank_hill_whispering_black_people.jpgI wish people would stop opening up packages of food in stores, taking some and leaving the open, unsellable package. Same goes with drinks people open up and drink out of. There were two things I wanted that I couldn't buy because they were the last ones and had been pilfered.
The CVS I go to is overworked because all the nearby pharmacies closed down. Just because you are in line for 20 minutes doesn't mean you can open up sodas you didn't pay for and then leave them half empty on the wall that separates the chair rows. Last time I was there I saw an opened can of iced coffee and an opened bottle of vanilla extract. WTF? Ya'll standing in line making free vanilla lattes? This is the reason why half the store's products are behind glass. I can't even get a toothbrush without pressing a button and waiting for some overworked wage slave to come over with the key.
They dont, but they should, would create lots of gainful employment for people in the form of "satellite man/ woman" positions
Ladies haircuts are now 22 bucks at GreatClips. (Not counting tip.) That's the cheapest I could find. I use GreatClips because my hair is baby thin and there's literally nothing I can do with it but have it cut short a single length. If I try to have anything else done to it it just flops down after a few minutes because my hair is literally the width of one electron. Anyway, I'm mad because 22 bucks (plus tip) is a lot of money to pay some lady to spray water on my hair and give me a Moe Howard bowl special.
I love how every weather event now requires a massive warning
Pre-Covid, I'd go to a cosmetology school where senior students would cut hair on the cheap ($10 for a simple men's cut and wash). With how much prices have increased since then, I'd have to see what it costs there now if chains are charging much more than that to see if they're still the better bargain.
In the past, I briefly had a coworker who used emojis in intra-office emails. It ground my gears because I find emoji use anything but professional and something to avoid at the workplace.
I had a dentist office move my appointment time up by an hour unannounced until they confirmed it the day before only to be running behind when I arrived to the point I would have been better off having my original time. I was peeved to have lost an extra hour for nothing knowing that if I had arrived late, they'd have cancelled my appointment and charged me a fee. It's no wonder that and other reasons led to my leaving there after 3 visits.
When I worked in a hardware store, I was the only one available to cut pipe one particular day. Store policy was no pipe being cut after 6 PM, but this clown made a large order request at 5:45 knowing full well it would take more than 15 minutes for it to be completed and requiring me to work beyond my 6 PM stop time to cut everything to spec.
I also encountered this trying to order colored paper. If a particular color is permanently discontinued, stop having it as an option.
