I grew up in Southeast Asia, and with no idea of what 1950's American slang terms were, and I still got that Confirmed Bachelor referred to being a gay man thanks to the picture.

Ak Gara posted:Also, Confirmed Bachelor: Because gay people can't get married? It's a phrase they goes back a very very long time that was used as a polite term for gay men. In much the same way that a friend of Dorothy doesn't necessarily mean a woman has a friend named Dorothy.

Not quite. It's "confirmed" in the sense of being "confirmed" as a lifelong member of a group or organization. Like when a Catholic kid is thirteen and they have their first communion in an event called their confirmation, and from then on they're a Catholic for life. The confirmed bachelor is a bachelor who's decided to stay that way forever, never getting married and just hanging out with his roommate Greg all the time.

Solice Kirsk posted:How? apparently,  I don't know how the gently caress this guy could have gone years paying thousands of dollars for SMS and talk-time overage fees, somehow not once seeing or reacting to one of the ubiquitous ads from every single carrier offering unlimited this and that for 50 dollars a month. Does he think he's one of those ubermenschen who doesn't respond to advertising? Did he assume the companies were all lying? Did he think that, every time he went into the Verizon store, they would surely have told him if he was overpaying for his service if there was a cheaper option?

Most likely just some rich as gently caress dude who, if you were to ask him how much bread costs at the supermarket, would be like "ah jeez... Well.. I pay my cook somewhere between 4 and 10k a month.. so maybe... A couple hundred bucks? For a loaf? Is that a lot, or too little? Maybe it's too much.."

When I worked for Cingular, I had a guy come in who wouldn't pay his bill until it his service got cut off. So every month he'd be paying late fees and multiple reconnect fees ($36 per line, and I think he had at least 3 lines). The money wasn't an issue for him, and for some reason setting up automatic payments, or just remembering to pay his bill on time, wasn't worth it to him. It did become a problem when he wanted to add international services, and they refused to give it to him because of his payment history. He wound up having a friend open a line for him for that one.

Had that guy just not walked into a Verizon store for ten years? Every time I go in for a new phone, they guy looks up my account and tells me about some new plan that will save me money, or give me more stuff for the same amount.
