  • Years ago, I'm talking early doors YouTube, watched a video and then watched a couple more. Then I was watching videos of a man in sets of specific boots stepping on things. Same dude had videos of him in too tight moth eaten sweaters

    Don't know how they were connected, but I learned too much that day. Never watched more that a video in a row since then.

  • I've been on vacation since Wednesday and through this week. Tuesday I had a member of my shop receive notice of his dismal, and as union steward I've been having to deal with it since then. On Wednesday he is almost certainly getting fired, unjustly.

    So next Monday when I return to work, this is me.

  • Years back I was putting in a landscape on a house when a guy in a backhoe shows up next door and just starts ripping out the walkway from the neighbor's driveway to front door.

    It was the wrong house. He had to finish the demolition and repour the walkway. We all laughed and laughed at the situation.

    It's nowhere near a house being torn down, but it happens.

  • I just had a bad experience with a discord group of mods and Admins. It was an open server, but the focus was on a very specific population. It had dozens of channels, none really specific to the focus of the server.

    There wasn't a heavy flow of conversation, so when one would start and the topic would veer towards a different channel topic, the mods would immediately delete the entire conversation and warn everyone about keeping the conversations to their related channels.

    Also, there have been several new people to the server that were definitely not part of the intended audience for it. They would come in and start being loud and annoying, but the mods wouldn't kick them even though the new users would blatantly state the reason they joined was because they thought it was funny.

    I eventually got angry with the mods when they added another and it was apparent they had no intention of cleaning up the server and making it more friendly and usable. So I gave them a piece of my mind and basically just told them everything I had issue with like I did above. I knew they were going to ban me, I asked them to ban me. That server brought me no joy.

    Was I rude? Depends on your viewpoint. I didn't drop any slurs, but I did it in the open and I cussed a couple times. But also, the mods both weren't doing their jobs and were acting as kings of a tiny castle. Be respectful and listen to what people are saying. You may be missing something they are pointing out, and while they are the only people saying it, I promise other people are thinking it.

  • The agent we have used for several houses has been indispensable. He got us into our current house before it was listed, and before that he knew all the issues with every house we looked at because he's been in the area for so long. You may have had bad agents, but some of them are really good at their jobs and add quite a bit of value.

  • Yeah, I got dropped from 103 in a 70 to 79. Cop asked me why I was speeding, and I truthfully told him that it was a beautiful day, had good tunes going, and was just in a great mood and didn't realize I was going that fast. He was a marked state trooper that was driving with traffic and I blew right past him.

    I rarely get tickets because I have veteran plates and a veteran drivers license, most cops just give me a warning. Got stopped three times in one day trying to get out of Texas, all warnings. Last cop of the day gave me a weather forecast. I guarantee if I wasn't a white dude with vet affiliations I would get way more tickets. Cops aren't fair.
