We had forms from CBE that ran the whole gamut of varying date formats.
Also any forms that don’t resize the font for addresses really GMG. My next house is going to be in a numbered street.
I just moved to a single digit numbered street. I’m pretty sure I’ve just given myself a solid hour of free time over the course of the rest of my life.
I don't eat fast food often these days, but love A&W if I'm going to, and part of that is a nice milkshake to go with a burger and fries.
These franchisees are such bull**** with them. It started out as them being "cleaned" every time you show up after like 7 or 8pm. The new thing is a bunch of locations flat out getting rid of them. 90th ave on Mcleod got rid of them since the last time I went there.
Also, Telus. I know, I know "read the fine print when you sign anything". But damn does their warranty protection suck. They apparently have a new $15 month coverage plan, but I'm under the old $10/mth full coverage plan for purchasing a new phone on contract.
Good news, it covers a cracked screen. It's $250 over the two year contract - great, now I get something out of it! Go through the warranty process and the rep says "Okay, so that'll be $49.99 to get that done through Mobile Klinik". Um what?? She explains that the warranty basically qualifies you for a "way better rate on repairs. You'll pay way more than that to get a screen repair anywhere else".
That's not what a ****ing warranty is, Telus. I could tell by her reaction that she gets the same thing all day from every customer that phones. "I know, I agree with you, it's not right, but that's what it is".

Well..... By definition a warranty actually covers a manufacture defect not accidental damages... Sooooo why would you think a warranty covers you accidently damaging your screen?
That sounds like insurance. Why should they pay for your accident?
Getting stuck in the airport security scanner line where the guy thinks he’s in the FBI and has to thoroughly check every bag making things 5 times longer than every other security scanner line.

Because Telus sales people gloss over the details of what you are hyping when trying to upsell you. Protection plans have like 80% margin minimum.
There’s a lot of middle ground between “dressing up to look nice on a flight to Mexico at 8am” and “people of Walmart”.
I can imagine no other destination besides Hawaii or Florida, where the people of Walmart-look would be more apropos. Maybe throw Arizona in there too.
However, what is at the heart of this gear-grinder? Do they also smell of Walmart?

Good morning, Wormius.
Well you're always going to have a pretty diverse crowd with varying levels of social graces tilting toward the trashy side of the scale when you're hopping on a flying cattle car with a bunch other people that are paying $800 for a week at an all-inclusive.
By People of Walmart, he's suggesting they are trashier than your typical airline passenger. Is it nice to say? No. Is it true? Yes. Call him elitist. Call him a jerk. But it's a legitimate gear grinder from his perspective without a lot of ambiguity.

More to do with McDonalds, but Johnny Harris (formerly of Vox?) did a huge breakdown on the ice cream machine meme and uncovered some pretty incredible stuff about why they are always broken
They’re talking the type of people who watch videos on their phone with the volume at full in the terminal, let their kids in sweatpants run around wiping their snotty noses on everything, spreading their stuff out everywhere, talking loudly to their peabrain kids overtop of everyone else, eating loudly and making a huge mess, up and down constantly, and just all around unpleasant.

Calling it a legitimate gear grinder didn’t really answer my question though. Unless we’re talking sandals, toe fungus, and feet propped up over the head rest, I am not getting it. I know that the OP generally despised all human interaction , so I suppose from his perspective then yes anything involving other people that don’t involve them in a motionless, inaudible position could cause some agitation.

Have you been on the People of Walmart subreddit? Because that does address your question. That subreddit is filled with slovenly white trash. OP doesn't like that he's surrounded by those types on his vacay.
Think of it this way: would you rather be on a plane filled with hot well-mannered models, or a group that resembles People of Walmart? Like, it's easy to imagine what would be more pleasant to be around. Most of us - given the choice - would hop on a plane with the hotties versus the people rolling up in their rascals (pot calling the kettle black, I know) with their asses hanging out, too-small tube tops, making Tik-Toks in the aisle, shouting, disregarding basic social conventions, main-charactering it up, etc. I don't get why this is confusing you.

I'm not like the "wear a suit on a plane like me grandpappy did or GTFO" kind of guy, but at least wear something decent looking ffs. It's not hard. If you wore like a Levi's 501s and a grey sweatshirt, you would be better dressed than 99% of the scum you see piling on to an international flight to Mexico.
