Probably the fault of accountants and their adding machines.

Back to rotary dial for you until your attitude improves.

Toyotas are most commonly the cause of a random struggler doing 15 under in the left lane on a motorway, or someone who cannot take a turn any faster than 3.77 KM/H. I wonder if there's a large contingent of Toyota-turned-Tesla owners.

Can't blame Toyota drivers for doing 15 under. They're driving a classic and it should be pampered.

Didn't get the number of helicopter rides they wanted in the agreement?

A week ago I had to order a part to fix my car through my mechanic. He had be penciled in for the 27th. I get a call today saying the part came in so he booked my appointment for the 4th. What the ####. Did he just lie to me the first day? I wish I could bail, but after waiting two weeks for the part to come in, I would likely have to wait more anyways.

Last time I use that business.

Just spent four hours on a plane with a two-year-old who screamed and/or cried the whole time. We were three rows away so thank God for ear buds and podcasts. The parents were so eager to get off the plane that as we were taxiing they were up getting bags from the overhead bin. The flight attendants had to come to close the bins and tell them to sit down. Same with the severely obese guy occupying two seats who I guess couldn’t endure sitting any longer and was up and at ‘em immediately. Good times.

I badly bit the inside of my lip the other day, feels like I've bit it 143 times since then. It's basically just a blood-filled crater at this point

ooohhhh.... i hate that!!!


the worst is in about 4-5 days when the swelling is mostly gone and of course, you bite it again and you're back at square one

[Sainters7]

Yeah exactly. And why I thought it was a good idea to chew gum today in that condition, I'll never know...I'm a masochist I guess.

Whenever this happens you also try to figure out how the hell you've managed to chew your entire life without biting yourself all the time.

Never experienced shame like this until I had my own kids who were just complete banshees on a flight

A few years ago when ordering fast food, you'd get your drink in a paper cup with a plastic straw. I got Wendy's for the first time in awhile yesterday, and was a little confused when my drink was now in a plastic cup with a paper straw. How the hell is that any better for the environment?

The "joke" is that benadryl is the back up plan. Knock those little ones out with a drowsy medicine as a last resort!

Animals, especially birds, are less likely to choke on cups than straws by thinking they're colorful worms?

The new cups improve recyclability, compared to Wendy’s current cups, and increases the use of recycled plastic.

The cups will divert an estimated 10 million pounds of waste from landfills over the first two years.

But won't they be banned by the end of the year in Canada? Why make the switch only to have to switch back a year later?

Also, what really annoys me about the new Wendy's cups is they don't fit securely in the trays anymore. The bottoms are too narrow.

Back when I first got my noise cancelling headphones I marveled at how they really cut down the garbage that came with flying. During a layover, I remember seeing some poor sap with two young screaming kids that were driving him into the ground. I don't think I've ever seen a man with such a hopelessly crushed and dead soul.
