I've seen on three occasions now weird Indian men who try to loving haggle prices at big-box stores and gum up the line for 15 minutes while the cashier desperately tries to explain to them that's not how it works.

I wanted to upload a picture to upload here but now Imgur forces you to have an account and I don't want to use my real email but I can't remember the email to the fake one. It's not hard to make another gmail account but it's  . I am also sad that I can't post said picture.

I guarantee it happens at least daily in a supermarket. I've been that cashier and it's super frustrating.

We hired some guys to cut back two trees on our property. The estimator didn't take any notes but quoted us a price. When the two guys arrived to do the work they couldn't do the first tree because one of the guys was allergic to cedar and it was next to a cedar (this is western Washington how the gently caress do you survive if you're allergic to cedar?). They couldn't do the second tree because they didn't bring a bucket truck that goes high enough because the other one is in the shop. WTF.

It's getting warmer, so that means it's time to clear out all the assorted minor bits that accumulated in my car during the fall and winter. Stuff that doesn't seem like a lot, until you roll down your window and every pointless receipt you should've thrown away now blow around.

The place I took my car to get washed used lovely microfiber cloths so I had to go over the insides of all the windows to get the forest of white fuzz off. Also somehow water got under the rubber thing at the bottom of my side windows, so now whenever I open and then close my car's windows the part that went under the rubber comes up all streaky and poo poo. It's my first car I bought new and it's like an endless battle with that sort of thing

Like just now I was typing out this post and it went unresponsive for a moment, but the cursor within the post editor kept flashing. Other times I'll be watching some on YouTube it'll hitch for a moment, but at the same time I never experience such hitching when I listen to music. FWP/Update: the day after I order accessories for the phone I'm planning to buy next week, my phone stops doing all of this weird poo poo. Whatever, after four years I'm due anyway.

I told my computer to update and shutdown before I left for uni and it's taking foreveeeer to install the drat things now that I've restarted it. It's usually fast enough it's done by the time I'm done changing and getting dinner stuff and all that, but not today. I'm hungry and tired and I just want to chill out  Not even 10% aaahhh

So there's one of those comparison websites called Trivago which deals in hotel bookings and the like. It has a very pleasant, chirpy lady in their adverts who is very nice and happily explaining how convenient everything is, ending all adverts with the slogan - "Hotel? Trivago". It's such an open, transparent way of nudging your mind into associating the two and it's loving worked on me. I don't even do a lot of traveling, but every time I think of one the other instantly springs into my head.

Where are you located? In the US it's a very suave handsome man doing the ads. Also to this day I have yet to find a cheaper hotel price than just booking directly through the hotel's own website. I think the major chains actually have a guarantee that you won't find rates cheaper than directly through them. It makes sense, I guess! Oh and just Googling hotels in the area will gice you a pretty accurate comparison to get started. Never booked a hotel internationally though since AirBnB kicks rear end. $80 USD for a 2-bathroom apartment overlooking the Arc de Triompf in Barcelona?

You're walking down the dead center of the street on your cellphone, completely ignoring your small child on a tricycle weaving around and also ignoring the 3 cars behind you trying to get by, but yes, I'm the rear end in a top hat for tapping my horn to remind you that you're walking down a road, where cars go. They just redid the sidewalks on my street, too. e: joke's on you lady, I guess you missed the big Lululemon recall where they pulled back their black yoga pants that were actually see-through

Our POS at work has difficulty rounding some purchases properly when applying the tax and is sometimes off by $0.01. So someone buys two $3 items, it will come up as $6.01. Since we don't have pennies, we can just accept $6 cash because we round to the closest $0.05. But if they use a card, there is no rounding, and it charges them the extra cent. Every loving day someone complains. Like they're so cheap they'll make an rear end of themselves, hold up the line, and treat someone like poo poo over a goddamn penny. But they don't want to use cash because it's 'inconvenient'.

The hair color I use re-packaged their product and now it's lovely. It doesn't come with shampoo/conditioner/finishing cream, it doesn't have the nice brush thingy, and the packaging is cheap. gently caress profit margin$. I'm too busy to read or post on the forums other than this right now due to it currently being slow at work.

Just bought some new clothes including some brand-new running shoes, although cheap ones for budget reasons. Turns out they had a factory defect and one of the insoles unglued itself after literally 20 minutes of walking. I'll need to wait until Wednesday to replace them.

I need more math books to study off of but I don't want to spend the money on them right now. Related problem: I'm getting into 400-level stuff that is breaking my brain. I'd really like to go back to college to turn my math minor into a math major but that costs money.

I went inside the mcdonalds thinking it would be faster, because I just wanted an iced tea, but it's taking forever and there's a ton of really creepy people in here. It shouldn't take 10 minutes to get an iced tea. Also all of them are coughing, and they aren't together. Just random creepy, coughing people.

Just random creepy, coughing people. this is basically our new apartment lol (I mentioned poo poo earlier, they are running the bath 4-12+ times a day, we've figured out. and most of them are: 3-6 bursts over 15 seconds, one ran long enough for an actual bath at 8am and one around 11pm, or randomly throughout the day, not long enough to fill the tub but not the quick multiple bursts either. or like how they ran it for 15 seconds a little after midnight and again for 2 seconds a few minutes later as I was drifting off to sleep. cool) e: I keep mixing up complaint threads but still

If your purchase comes out to $1.99 and you pay cash, yeah, you pay the extra cent. If you pay by card though it's exactly $1.99 because it's not like we forgot how maths works or abolished all numbers below 0.05.
