Yesterday he ran out of time, and my nephew told him to guess the password and gave him some ideas. So yeah, I should have selected a more difficult password, but now I'm fucking pissed at both my son and nephew for trying to go around me. I took his iPad away, and told him he can have it next week. My son is crying himself to sleep now, but only after he yelled at my nephew (who's sleeping over) that it's all his fault. Should I be pissed at myself, my son, my nephew or all of the above? My mom had an easily guessable password until my nephew charged like $200 through iTunes on in-game purchases via her iPad when he was like 8

It's probably a carryover from when people didn't have cell phones or email addresses. You had to drop them off or mail them in. The only way of communicating back with an applicant was by mail or phone. I'd bet everyone uses a resume template and the address is another box to fill in.

January 17, 20232 yr Ztejas’ idiotic curbside thread reminded me of when I brought like 17 or 18 items to the 10 items or less self-checkout thing in HEB. It was pretty busy and some Karen waiting behind me in line looked at my overloaded hand basket and said “is that 10?” or something similar. I just laughed and said “I think so” and turned around. Heb employee working the area didn’t seem to care. It’s amazing how many people can’t mind their own business. Edited January 17, 20232 yr by Helobious

No, it's more like when it says no trucks in the left lane and someone decides that it should apply to others, but not his big rig so he parks his 18-wheeler in the left lane.

January 20, 20232 yr It wasn't until about 6 months ago that I finally started paying attention to all the chants and recitals in my wife's Catholic Church, including the story of Pilate. And then I tied it back to "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones. I am trying to figure out a way to tell my family that I met Cartaphilus once in Toledo, Spain in the mid 1990's. I know it was him and he knew I knew it was him. Having said that, I am 90% sure we are living in a computer simulation and none of this actually matters.
January 20, 20232 yr Popular Post Its less about the actual time occupied in the checkout line and more about the brazen arrogance and uncivility of the person to do it. That behavior is predictive to how they act elsewhere in life.

No, you are still an asshole because you didn't allow her with her 10 items or less to go ahead of you. She probably would have told you to just go ahead. But you make the attempt to let her go first as a way to acknowledge that she was doing the right thing and the world isn't so full of selfish dick assholes who laugh at people who do the right thing.
January 23, 20232 yr Just got my auto policy renewal from Allstate, and they want to bump my premium by $2k. Called Amica and got a quote for $1,300 less than my last Allstate premium. How can they have such wildly different premiums? That's also without a bundle discount. When my home policy renews, I'll be getting a quote on that as well, and I'm sure I'll be switching that.

Does increased checkout speed get you some leeway as to how many items are considered acceptable? It’s not a self checkout lane. You put your items on the counter and the cashier rings them up. There’s not a lot of wiggle room for a shopper to go slow or fast as long as they unload their basket or cart promptly. Sometimes there’s a belt and you can do that while the cashier is ringing up the person in front of you. I’ve seen self checkout lanes of varying sizes, some better suited for small purchases than others. But I’ve never seen any specifically designated as express lanes.
