-Stores that crank the AC in the summer when you have no coat with you to keep warm YET blast the heat in the winter when you are roasting in your warm coat.
-Those creepy decapitated store mannequins.
-Cheap overpriced crap that falls apart/doesn’t work the first time you use it.
—Feel free to add your own WTF’s.

My advice would be to stop shopping at those anything for a buck store that sells crap that doesn’t work or breaks the first time you use them.
Second hand it. You can get quality stuff and save much coin. And you can put your sauna coat in your shopping cart. Problem solved.
My find of the week: A 1943 edition of ‘His Majesty’s Yankees’ by Thomas H. Raddall in excellent condition.
I like being cool in the summer and appreciate the heat in the winter.
It’s a mannequin-they are all creepy.
Follow Klyde and TTFN’s advice.
the price of unsalted butter, i need it for my cookies, quelle domage
^^^ TTFN’s avatar! I had an aunt and uncle who smoked hand rolled cigarettes back in the day. They called it “smokin’ makin’s” in the hick town I come from. Never saw one that impressive though!
hahaha, you funny, zigzag
The Monty Python crew – equally talented, equally funny, perfectly complemented each other, so why did the 1974 season, when John Cleese left, suck such frozen rope?
THE CONCEPT OF RANDOMNESS
“random, n&a – haphazard, without aim or purpose or principle.” (The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English)
What is really going on here? Why is the bitcher so upset? The answer lies in the concept of randomness itself. Randomness is not just the the absence of order but rather the presence of chaos, of entropy. Without aim or purpose or principle, life itself is meaningless. Randomness is the visible manifestation of what Sartre called “le Néant,” nothingness. This might have been explored further.

A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Things that make you go Hmmmmmm…
Cigarettes, huh? Your parents were lying to you, Zipster. That old lady is enjoying a torpedo joint. Tripod optional.
I know I’m going to sound like a scrooge but is there something not quite right with the “checkout charity ambush”?
It’s a brilliant strategy on the part of fund raisers because most people won’t say no, but, personally I’d rather make conscious decisions about which charities I support. Being put on the spot at a checkout and forced to make a snap decision when people are waiting behind you – even if it is only for $2 – seems unethical to me.
What do the rest of the bitchetariat think?
This bitchetariat thinks one develops a thick hide, smiles sweetly and says “no thank-you, not today” then supports the charities of your choice without guilt. It becomes easier the more you do it.
Treat them like any other panhandler, determined stride, eyes front. If approached, don’t break stride, a simple “Not Today, Thanks” in a neutral tone will usually suffice. It’s your money, Pete. Spend it as you wish. Nobody should feel extorted, whether it be by a thug with a knife, or a pack of urchins in hockey sweaters.
And today, I’m going to test the old maxim “If someone blows chow in front of you on a crowded bus at Highfield Terminal, nothing bad will happen to you for the rest of the day”

^^^ first thing in the morning???? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Oh yeah – one minute she was telling her seatmate all about her trip to Sierra Leone and the next – Jackson Pollock’s “Study in Black Vomitus and Bloody Stool”
Okay, that last bit was a slight exagerration. Deep in my book, I missed the actual launch, but 3 people sitting across from me took the force of the backblast and the crime scene remained untouched until, presumably, a supervisor could be called to deal with the ejecta.
15 more minutes of riding in the pong, but I should be grateful that the predictable chain reaction did not occur.
Small mercies.
^^^ Sierra Leone + puking = Ebola? Sorry to frighten folks but my first thought would be to put two and two together to add up to a dreaded virus. Let’s all hope that this isn’t the case!
It’s okay, Pete. I were just ‘avin’ a larf. She did launch lunch, but I’m pretty sure it was just excitement at being in Highfield, and not Patient Zero
^^^ Ha! Good one! Got me good that time, Ivan!
Let’s see what Babu thinks of you..

you sure they weren’t auditioning for an ikea commercial , chairman meow?
^^^ What? Who?
lol, the really funny incident you posted that got deleted. about the parking lot drive away. I got it in my email but it has not appeared here.
time to haul out the tin foil hat I guess
LOL, Pete – Sonofabitch by name; Sonofabitch by nature . >: )
The decapitatos make me think of all the poor unfortunates who crossed paths with the IS bastards. Going to stores shouldn’t be shudder-worthy.
