The lack of activity on this board right now. I rely on you people to entertain me when I am on the road, ya'll are slacking!

There's a guy (retiree) that works in my local Publix as a bagger. He spends the day bagging groceries and walking them out to cars. Yet he parks in the handicap spot right next to the building.

Maybe he’s paralyzed from the neck up.

Only one with an advanced degree.

Ambulances are even worse, as they have the blinder-lights set on their brake lights, too, so sitting behind one in traffic requires sunblock.
....or am I just that pale?

Also, the work sites at night- is there any reason why they shine those bright lights directly at oncoming traffic? A similar situation is on A1A in St. Augustine when the Amphitheater lets out. The lights aren't quite as blinding as a work site but it makes it difficult to see a pedestrian (half of whom are somewhat impaired).

Likely the first one there in the morning with an empty lot to choose from. My friend does that, parks in the HC spot because he can...even if there's plenty of spots open. It's not like he's on crutches or needs a wheelchair. I don't get it.

Staff members have to park in certain areas, often far from the door. The guy uses the HC because it saves him the steps and he can.

There are degrees in bagology??? Who knew...………….outside of Tennessee.
When your husband's employer changes dental insurance providers and your dentist isn't on The List. I don't see them outside of twice a year cleanings for the most part but they know my history and I am comfortable with and trust them so this sucks.
I don't know why we can't just see who we want to see without it being such a hassle.
So I'm looking into flights to Tokyo because there's a concert I want to see there in October and it's right before the Jaguars game in London so I'm trying to see if I can get a return flight to London.
Amsterdam to Tokyo and back a week later; Direct flights (11 hours) each way, total cost €900.
Amsterdam to Tokyo, Tokyo to London a week later; Have to change in Paris both ways (16 hours), total cost €3550.
What the hell kind of algorithm is figuring out these flights?

For that kind of money I'd be demanding a full bar and happy endings.

I haven't even mentioned the worst part: the direct flights are on KLM which, while not the best airline in the world I grant you, at least manages to fly their damn planes when they say they will. The expensive option are all Air France flights who, being French and therefor utterly incompetent, will likely have six different strikes between now and October and then on the day of the flight will refuse to work because the CEO wore the wrong color tie. I despise Air France.

Hey now, I can find women just fine. It's them running away that's the problem.

Apparently one that understands the difference between a single round-trip flight and three one-way flights.

It's one return versus two one-ways, I already have a flight from London to Amsterdam. And using an independent website I already found a AMS-TKY-LON-AMS schedule that's only around €750.
Websites that automatically load a video that does not pertain to the article you clicked to read. What the heck? For that matter why load a video at all? Does no one read anymore?

You need to invest in better restraints.
