lol yes. I was as shocked as you

 

Cover albums made up of super obscure songs

 

Wait someone wrote that Applebee’s song independently of Applebee’s paying/asking for it??

 

I feel like they did knowing they would probably get a sponsorship deal out of it

 

chapped lips

 

Not only is it an actual song, as of yesterday it's a Grammy-nominated song!

Not much of an annoyance, but I always get the strangest requests. Went to put my scrubs in the communal laundry so I have work clothes for next week. A guy asked if I can pay for his dryer and he’ll give me change. Said it was “his last day” and didn’t want to put m money on his card that he’s not going to use. (Machines take laundry cards, which you have to refill by debit or credit min $10). I explained to him how by giving me change, I still can’t put that money on my card (So really it’s useless) and I don’t have much left anyway. I need to make what I have left last until next payday so I can reload my card. So which means only washing the essentials.

this guy ended up living next to me. I’ll see if it’s actually his last day

 

having to break up with someone you care a good deal for

 

The people next to me have their music playing really loud (ok it quieted down a bit). The same guy that said it was his “last day” a few days ago. The music isn’t nearly as annoying as the people that use to live behind me. Actually somewhat relaxing music. Or he did move out and I didn’t see and it’s the workers cleaning and fixing with the loud music. Only time will tell

 

Fluffing the Christmas tree

 

When I hand my card to the cashier and our hands brush together

 

When the person in front of me acts like they’ve never checked out before and it’s a new concept and they take 5 minutes just to pay.

 

ive somehow run into three people in the last 5-6 days that pay with a fucking check and take 10 hours at the register. One cashier, a kid literally 15 and not a day older, asked what the lady was doing / giving him lol. I wanted to ask her if her horse was tied up out front because clearly she’s a time traveler and not using a car if she’s writing a fucking check for $8 worth of groceries

 

I love the idea of the kid having no clue what a check is

 

The way he shifted his eyes around and whatnot I could tell he thought he was being filmed for a TikTok prank video or something lol. He had zero idea what was happening and had to call over a manager to help him process it. After the customer left he was pretty speechless and mumbled “I’ve never seen anything like that before and I’ve worked here six months” and said they were never trained on those, which I totally get in 2021. I chuckled and told him not to worry about it, he’d probably get another one in two years and that will be that.

 

Just completed the census. I feel like I did one last year that didn’t ask me nearly as many strange questions. Two of the questions were “what is your ancestry history?” and “what do you do at work?” and I answered “who gives a shit” for both so we’ll see if anyone reads those answers and what happens then lol

 

I ALWAYS get stuck behind old ladies using a check. I get it's hard to change but debit/credit has been around for a while like at some point let's adjust

 

I frequently get stuck behind the old person using their debit card for the very first time

always a pleasure
