She was ready to go, my dads father passed away when my dad was just 9 years old so I'm sure there was a happy reunion.

Terrible Robot posted:Sorry, I should have been more specific in my nomenclature, the router is actually a modem/router combo unit. They both (old and new) look vaguely like rebranded netgear stuff. I'll PM you with more info when I get home this evening. The DMARC is where the copper from the phone company connects to the copper in your home. It's typically a grey box outside, generally near your power meter. You'll see wire coming up out of the ground to it (if your utilities are buried) or coming off the pole. If it's off the pole, it'd be the thin wire that doesn't go to the weatherhead for your power. There's a customer side that you can usually open with a screwdriver or socket, and they'll usually have a phone cord and jack (if it's been built since the late 80s or so). The cord connects the house to it; if you disconnect that phone cord from the jack inside, you can plug the modem directly into it. Go to speedtest.net from your laptop (or get the app from the app store) once you're out there, run a test, see if it's improved substantially. If it has, it's interior wiring. If it hasn't, it's on the phone company side. I'd post a picture of mine, but it was gutted when Verizon converted us to fiber. kastein posted:Fortunately, calling people inbred banjo playing dipshits and stupid assholes still gets the point across quite well and I doubt anyone would defend any of that except possibly the banjo playing.

I catch myself using some form or another of gay-bashing (human being, cocksucker, polesmoker, whatever) when gaming (badly) online, and I hate myself for it. Happens with the "N" word, too. I have no idea why my brain insists on dredging up racial/orientation-based insults. I wasn't raised that way. Sometimes I hate my own brain. "human being" still gets tossed around so much in schools as an "insult".  I'll call someone a cocksucker all day, but it's usually in good fun (and with people I know). Except sometimes when someone cuts me off in traffic, I might blurt out "you loving cocksucking donkey fucker" or something like that.The bulbs in my garage door opener are over a year old. No name dollar store 40 watt incandescents, and they've outlasted every other bulb I've ever tossed in it (I've not tried LEDs yet, but the CFLs went out pretty quick). Our opener vibrates a lot more than most though - it's a screw drive Genie that hasn't ever really been taken care of, and the screw drive might get lubed every few years instead of every couple of months. When it's actually been lubricated recently, it's about as loud as a normal chain drive unit, but when it hasn't been, it vibrates bad enough that you can feel it in the door to the house from the garage (also can be heard through the whole house). Super Aggro Crag posted:Yeah I run into that all the time. The only insult I worked out of my vocabulary is "human being" because one of my closest friends came out and I didn't want to make him uncomfortable.

Wife gets a flat on Sunday, then the same day I walk by a shelf at work and my car key got stuck in it, snapping it in half (lol GM build quality, thank god for some reason I had my spare in my car) My car decided to lock me out of it on its own the other day... while running. I sometimes leave it idling when I do a delivery, if it's a nice area and I'm going up to a house. Less wear on the starter, and I don't think idling for 1-2 minutes is going to make a dent in my mileage. This makes the third time it's done that. The first time, I had OnStar, and was able to have them unlock it. Ever since then, I always open the drivers window a bit before I get out. I really just need to get a generic spare key (flat metal instead of one with a plastic head) and keep it in my wallet. Every time it's locked me out, the moment I manage to get back in the car, it locks the doors again the moment I close the door. I'm sure it's something goofy with the body control module, but damned if I can reproduce it on demand. Super Aggro Crag posted:I got hit with 90 volts today, that was fun. Out of the 200+ 110 blocks, I happened to be touching one when someone made a call. 90 volts ain't poo poo. I learned all about ring voltages a long, long time ago when I had a popular dialup BBS and had to go out to the DMARC to figure out why one line had such poor connection speeds/dropped calls (turned out to be a loose screw). I've been bit by either 208 or 277 (not sure which, just know it wasn't full-on 480). That loving stings. HotCanadianChick posted:Might offend toothless people and/or alcoholics.

No joke, an old friend from high school (who almost became my stepbrother at one point) was a carnie for years. And my first pizza boss (at Papa John's, way back in 2000), was a carnie for a long time (also met her husband while working as a carnie). Before that she drove 18 wheelers. She had one gently caress of a temper, and was one of the only people I've ever met who can out-cuss me. I still miss the bitch, cancer got her in 2007. And yes, we called each other "loving bitch" and "loving rear end in a top hat" constantly, she was a riot to work with. It was always fun when someone new would start, and she and I would get in each other's faces cussing each other out to see if the new hire could handle working there.

... that moment you step in diarrhea, and you have no idea which pet it's from... nor care, because the bottom of your foot is now covered in poo poo.  Given the size, it was either the dude, or the dog left several other surprises hiding. Stepdad has been giving both of them table scraps, which pisses me off to no end (and is also why our dog weighs 90 pounds - rough collies average 50-70). Dude has put himself on a seefood diet - he sees it, he eats it, and you'd better guard your plate if you walk away. He's definitely happy, and far more active than I expected a cat his age to be.... the late night cat crazies are pretty loving amusing to watch (especially when he uses someone's head as a springboard, when he did that to me it left me going "what the gently caress just happened?"), but dear god the litter box looks like a poo poo bomb went off when he gets ahold of human food. The Dude doesn't have mudbutt, so I'm gonna blame the dog for now. And I'm going to be wearing shoes around the house until we find the rest of the mud.

I enjoy calling people Penis's. Not because its super offensive or cutting edge, but because people seem to have to stop and think why Ive just called them a Penis in front of other people. I will also tell my gay friends when they are being particularly flaming, which is particularly uncommon for one of them.

 The majority of my gay friends appear "normal" to most people. But I have a couple of friends that would singe your eyebrows and hair if you get near them. And to be honest, I get annoyed by gay guys who feel like they have to "act gay". Honey, you didn't grow up with that lisp, and you didn't grow up calling every guy honey. I feel like I'm already being obnoxious by being as out as I am, and the only lisp I have is because of a broken tooth. I'm as open as I am partly because I feel there's a stigma that LGBT people in the US have to act in a certain flamboyant way. I belch, I fart, I scratch my rear end (I might even scratch and sniff if it'll gross someone out), I'm overweight, I'm a pretty typical (US) guy.... except I like penis and assholes instead of vagina and assholes. Really, the only signs I'm gay if you first meet me is I might be wearing a rainbow bracelet (occasionally), and I dye my hair (black, the same color as my heart.. but I think that's more  than anything).

For actual food service, I'm on both sides of the fence. If the service is terrible, then yes, you have every right to stiff them or tip below normal. I've stiffed plenty of bartenders when I'm sitting there shouting "HEY I NEED A loving BEER" when they're too busy flirting with female customers, and they eventually wander over and ask how I'm doing (and I say "I've only been trying to get another beer for the past loving hour, how about you just get my check for me and I'll go somewhere that I can actually get drinks?"). But I've delivered outstanding service that even management has high fived me on... only to get something insulting like a 75 cent tip (got that a few days ago, when it took 3 trips because she wouldn't answer the door, and my phone had been shut off for non-payment, so I couldn't call her when she wouldn't answer the door, so I kept driving back to the store to call her, and got accused of knocking on the neighbor's door, when she orders every loving day and always tips 50c-$1 on $20+ orders), or get a big fat zero when I show up 15 minutes earlier than the quoted time, play with your dog when he/she runs out snarling at me, your kid kicks me in the shin, and I'm offering free stuff like a drink. I've been in food service for 15 years. I know how to deliver outstanding service, and I try to do that on each and every order. But the place I work at has a service fee, and I don't see a penny of that fee. Most people understand that free delivery has disappeared, and most people know that the delivery fee doesn't go to the driver. I always explain "the fee is $2.50, but it does not go to the driver" when someone asks about delivery fees on the phone. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Jan 23, 2015 |

There are only two situations where I don't tip. 1) I physically have only enough money to pay the base cost. "Sorry - I need a haircut here's a $20, I know it's not really enough" etc. 2) The person serving me is blatantly rude or unhelpful. This is a super goony story but I once ordered a chocolate milk at a Denny's and when I asked for more powder/syrup or whatever, the waitress told me it was "good enough". Sorry- no tip.

It's interesting to see how different people tip, it's pretty easy to see who has worked food service and who hasn't. I had a few food service jobs growing up, and I remember being broke as gently caress trying to pay for books, rent, and food, and always appreciated people who gave me a nice tip. Now I'm on the other side of the table, you've got to really gently caress up to not get anything from me. People say you shouldn't tip because it encourages employers to not pay enough, but in the end the person you're loving over is the waiter, not the employer.

I worked in the service industry for 15 years, I know how lovely it is. But with that experience, if you got a lovely tip you probably deserve it.

If the people that work security at my job get any dumber they're gonna have to give them all helmets, gently caress. I'm sitting in one of the work vehicles looking over some paperwork when I notice the security truck rolling past, but at like 2mph, and the guy is staring me down the whole time. Once he gets past I get out and get my tools and head towards a dorm, then see him walking back towards me, asking if I'm allowed to be here or work here at all. No dude, I'm just wearing a shirt that says "XXXXX College Physical Plant" and carrying around this sack of tools for my health. The vehicle I'm driving even used to be the Security department's truck. Idiot. Oh, and I got a "raise" and now make $6.60 more every pay period. I should buy a boat
