...They wouldn't have to replace them so often if I didn't have to take sixteen out before I found a full one or two.

Same goes with fast food napkin dispensers. Don't overfill.

same goes for the lids on plastic containers filled with leftover soup or stew or anything that has a lot of liquid - - you fill the container and then put the lid on and push it down to seal it, and all the excess liquid squeezes out the top

The grocery store I frequent most often is always completely rearranging its merchandise. It seems stuff get switched around every week. So I need bread and go to the aisle that had bread last week, only now it's all paper towels. An employee told me it's done intentionally to keep you in the store longer on the theory that you'll buy more as you wander the aisles

That is really ****ing interesting, lady. Is this a chain supermarket? Also, have you ever thought of talking to the manager and letting him or her know of your issues. Sometimes, that can make a difference. If the employee's claim is accurate, ****, that's some ****.
 
Flat tires while out cycling. **** me. I had two on the same ****ing ride. After the second one, I just rode home....the tubes beat me.

Actually, it was an assistant store manager who mentioned it - - it's corporate policy he said. I think the store is now owned by some big conglomerate, it had been more of a local chain but now it's owned by Albertsons.

(before that, it had briefly been part of the Safeway system, but they sold it to Albertsons - - before that it was strictly a local Chicago-area chain.)

Little kids that suck their thumb. Cut that **** out you're an adult for gods sake.

There was a woman I worked with in the Navy that would suck her thumb when she'd get nervous/anxious. She had actually advanced pretty quickly and was a supervisor (but not my supervisor). I couldn't believe she'd suck her thumb in front of everybody when she was under pressure. Like go get counseling or hypnotherapy or whatever it takes to stop doing that, you're a leader in the ****ing military.

Well that obviously didn't stop her from getting promoted...
