A former friend, at 28 years old, said, "Is it hotter at the beach because we're closer to the sun?" She was serious and honestly wanted to know.

My mother won't buy a hot tub because she thinks "the squirrels and deer will get in it." Another time, when I tore the fence down in my back yard, my mom says "you better hurry up and get a new one, before the mice come into your home and eat your furniture."
No wonder I couldn't find the tree!!
Thanks for making my day.

Apologies for the non-funny technical rant. Bad day at work, I need a quick vent.
IT support re: a scalable network file system they haven't gotten to work properly for more than a week since the default install months ago.
"Why don't I just install a new one and copy the data over?"
Yes, why don't you repeat your original effort and hope for a different result. Then compound the error by wasting time transferring TBs of data that has probably been corrupted either by uploading it to the 1st screwed up system or by all of the malfunctions that have occurred since.
*sigh*
This is why I shifted to doing infrastructure work myself rather than let our IT handle it. It's killing me to step back and not fix it myself.1 -

Me: You *kitten* serious?
So embarrassed to admit this is 100% me. Lol. So many questions... Like now-now, or just soon? And how? And where is it, exactly? Do I change it to another yellow or a different color? And wtf is toner?
*Massive sigh*..Toner toner toner has done it again...
Yeah, once I temped in an office and the printer said "replace black toner." There were toner boxes right on the shelf, so I opened the printer, took the old toner out... Then the boss came in and stopped me: "We usually just shake it and put it back in for a while when it says to replace it." So, don't assume.
We do that at work. lol.. you can get another 1500 pages out of the toner cartridge before you have to change it. lol

With a group of friends waiting on this girl to show up so we can go out. She lived about 15 miles away. She finally got there about 30 min late. When asked why she was late, she stated that she was about 2 blocks away from our house, accidentally hit her garage door opener and drove all the way back home to make sure it didn't open.5

My friend was convinced that because her dad had bought the latest model of car that they would get to destinations faster than older models of car.
I tried to explain that 30mph in a top range car is still 30mph in a old banger..

When my son was about 14-15 we all went to a Chinese buffet place. I hate buffets but was out voted on dinner place, so I'm sitting at the table sulking while my hubby & son are getting food.
My son comes back SUPER excited & amped up...tells me they have "human beef " on the buffet, I tell him that's not true but he insists on it, I tell him that would be illegal. He again tells me it's on the buffet & he wants to try it.
I get up to see wth he's talking about. It's Hunan beef.
I then tell him I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that he was willing to eat human flesh or that he can't read!9 -
I knew someone who used to write "for all intensive purposes" instead of "for all intents and purposes." Oy.

A cashier once told me that she was allergic to alcohol. I told her that I hoped she had an allergy list and medical alert bracelet for it. She said she didn't because she was only allergic to specific alcohols.
Errrr.... An allergy is still an allergy and alcohol is still alcohol. I would think someone with an allergy would want to share that info with their GP or paramedics. Plus alcohol is found in many products.1 -
"I turned the oven up so the cake would cook faster" yep..

I imagine she uses allergy to mean she doesn't like it. Like when you say your allergic to tomatoes when you just don't like them, that way you don't look like a fussy eater.
She probably prefers red wine so says she is allergic to beer or scotch so she isn't pressured to drink it or seen as weird when she brings a goon bag to every social event.0 -

Wait what ? A lot of us here ARE indeed changing our appearances
pick any before/after pictures !
It doesn't mean that I disagree with the sentiment. Even though everyone judges everyone to some degree, either consciously or not, you don't need to be a jerk with others. But there are things you can change. Not everything, but some

I'm having a hard time deciding between posts in the nuclear annihilation is imminent - ha ha ha! thread.
So, when you're scrolling through Chit-Chat to see what has transpired while you were away from your post, do you read the closed threads first?1 -

Something doesn't seem right. I think it makes more sense for her (or anyone) to say "I don't like alcohol/beer/etc." rather than to call it an allergy.
There is a difference between a person consciously chosing not to like something versus the body automatically rejecting it and causing a serious response. Maybe she was making it up, or she has social anxiety, but there was no pressure from me for her to answer.
Nope. It doesn't add up.0 -

Except that's what their title is.
They literally post jobs looking for sandwich artists.
Yep. For over 10 years.0 -
