I once bought my bro's coin box, where he put all his small change, for 20 bux and after counting there were 30 bux in it  Joke's on me though because that was years ago and now I still have all those useless Euro Cent coins.

Reminds me of Mr Mercedes with the boss who has a savior complex and keeps saying customer service is above all and doesn't care if a customer tries to murder you, the customer is always right no matter what!

Paladinus posted:These are postage stamps that are also money. OK but the Russia also had postage-stamp-looking stamps that were money and not legally usable as postage. Of course because Russia has a lot of Russians in it, everyone used them as postage stamps anyway. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Russians but they do like to do whatever they are told not to do. Which is not a bad thing considering that the people telling Russians what to do are, by and large, mostly Russians.

We could honestly probably do with getting rid of the nickel as well. Last time a coin was phased out in the US was the half penny in 1857, which would have a present day inflation-adjusted value of 13 cents. We're dumb and stubborn. Japan is also dumb and stubborn because why the gently caress are there still useless 1 yen coins

I found out that apparently Canada has so many different commemorative versions of quarters and toonies and poo poo because the Mint makes a decent profit off collectors buying them directly. I thought it was sorta dumb before but hey if we're making a profit just by minting coins, rock on

Every time I go to the post office (so like...every six months) there's a new display from the Canadian Mint with the latest coins commemorating whatever. You can buy them in a case for inflated values, or if you wait long enough one will turn up as change somewhere. Best coin was the $1 000 000 coin they made in 2007. 100kg of 99.999% pure gold, legal tender. Why> "Because we can."

I believe a lot of that was people using credit cards to buy like $1000 worth of quarters, then taking them to the bank, depositing them, and paying the credit card off to get reward points.

I think I dated the weirdest dude on Earth We met at a tech event, but this was really weird.  Oooookay, so he is not single. Good, time to move on.  So, now I marked this date in the calendar, waiting to hear WTF is going on. At this point, I am more curious than pissed off.

Of course, this isn't true, but it's light enough that if you tell your friends this it seems plausible enough that they'll throw one in their drink and then feel very stupid.

Customers sometimes like to stand in the middle of the room refusing to make eye contact with staff or get in line for service then yell angrily because no one is taking their order. I don't know why. I guess it's fun. I'm pretty sure this has got to be a troll for the combination of refusing to get in the line/approach the counter + shrieking baby + car seat (what? I mean okay bringing a big-rear end four-wheel-drive suburban mom pram into a cramped shop is annoying but understandable, why would you bring the baby car seat in?) + WHO THE gently caress DO YOU THINK YOU ARE LITTLE GIRL + straight up stealing food + MY PARENTS ARE DEAD + because they were jerks about my dead parents they went out of business.

She did not steal the food. She was taking her business elsewhere. She left with nothing, no food. The manager was being portrayed as a bigger rear end in a top hat by insisting she pay and take her loving food with her whether she wanted it or not because, by god, he'd made it. That better fits the narrative. Also, it didn't happen.

The second lieutenant who lead our platoon in NCO school was notorious for liking his own voice and held hell of long speeches whenever there was an audience. At our graduation party when he got up I could see even his superiors sighing. After he was about five minutes in he paused just for a moment to catch his breath which is when everyone started clapping so he had to stop. True story of course.

How many medals did he get for leading his illustrious S1 platoon in loving up more awards and giving the awards to his paperwork bitches for not loving up routine pay inquiries?
