Man I miss going for haircuts/barber, for the pre-cut rinse/head massage alone. I guess my balding butt can still go for winter beard sculpting, but I couldn't believe the one time I did, they also separately charged me the same as a regular haircut to simply shave 4 days of growth off my head again haha.

If anybody knows of a place that gives "compassionate pricing" for a head shave on top of a solid beard groom, let me know!

WRGMG is seeing someone parking on the yellow-hatched area (aka no-park-zone) BETWEEN two handicap parking stalls. Each handi stall had a posted handi-sign painted on the ground and a 1-meter high sign in front. The yellow hatch area had neither so I can only assume the driver was super clueless and an idiot to think they could park on the 2.5meter wide hatched area in between.

#### the turtles; give us back plastic straws.

The next time I have to manage a drinking tube turning into pulp or immediately freezing solid at the base of my slurpee I may just consider mass murdering turtles out of an inordinate amount of displaced rage.

I'm entirely willing to go full Shredder over this.

I just find myself getting bottles more at restaurants instead of straws. That seems way more wasteful, lol

Granted at least the bottles get recycled

Besides slurpee-type drinks, do people really have that big of a problem drinking from a cup without a straw? Don’t move about like psychopaths and your drink won’t slosh over the edge; you can drink like an adult.

bamboo straws are head and shoulders above paper straws. I wish more stores would carry them

Imagine your masculinity being challenged by making it easier to drink something that has ice in it.

I’m too lazy to upload a photo of my straw cup and list it here but I have a cup in my kitchen with over 30 straws (and a couple in my car). I make my version of frappachinos so use one daily.

Reusable metal straws are fine if you really need a straw. Get a bulk pack and leave 'em all over.

If you have a beard or mustache a straw is practically an essential tool. And are people really taking the lids off of fountain drinks, slurpees, smoothies, frapps, and milkshakes to avoid a straw?

I know it's mostly psychological, but certain drinks actually somehow taste better through a straw.
