Post what you are thinking at this very moment

I'm shocked, I thought for sure they were gonna keep you there for hours trying to sell you a new car.

Not even a whisper of that. I kept getting their propaganda and one day a couple of months ago a sales guy called me. I told him in no uncertain terms I sold the car, hated the car and could you please get me off of any and all lists?

They may have a note in their file to this effect. I also made a stink because I won these earbuds from a promotion in the mail, drove down there two months ago and they said they ran out and didn't have any on hand. I complained about the ol bait and switch ploy while a very kind saleswoman kept making the gulping fish face as I interrupted every one of her pitches during my rant.

So... Just stopped at Subway for lunch/dinner, The kid there I think was high as a kite. At least I hope he was. Moving like molasses and talking like he had a mouthful of cock that he was afraid to spit out. Anyway the convo went like this.

Him: blank stare.

Me: I'll have a footlong meatball sub.

Him: blank stare slowly coming into focus

Me (a little louder): I'll have a footlong meatball sub.

Him:"...footlong meatb.... toasted?"

No.

Him:"What kind of cheese?"

American.

Him:"um...Toasted?"

No.

*starts to make the sub, I noticed he is motioning to the sandwich with the spoon, he's counting the 4 meatballs he already has on the bread. (footlong is 8 total), Gets to 6 meatballs, stops and counts again. Puts two more meatballs on, counts again. At this point I realize his lips are moving every time he counts. Double checks, yep. 8.

Him: "what kind of cheese?"

American.

Him: "toasted"

No. And nothing else on it.

*gets to register, rings it, doesn't say another word. Just stares blankly at the counter.

I decided that I'd pay with my card so I wouldn't have to count cash out 8 times. Although I probably could have told him "I gave you $100" and gotten $165 back.

Toasted...yes he was

I find that some immigrants tend to do that stare thing rather than speak. I just wait it out and say nothing

[Pony]

I've seen that too, at least immigrants make eye contact. This was a white guy, probably early 20's, with a beard. Not a care in the world. His eyes were clear, so either eye drops or he was on something else.

Right before, I stopped at Walmart, (not realizing it was take your grandkids to Walmart day). Anyway, I kept hearing a water bottle hit the floor, round the corner of an aisle and find FIVE employees there flipping a bottle in the air trying to get it to land upright.

You know, they look a bit goofy, but I got my wife a pair because she loves apple shit... and they're slick. They connect almost instantly, the battery life (compared to my two sets of bluetooth headphones I have for commuting and the gym) is ridiculously good between the headphones themselves and the case. She only charges them maybe twice a week, and they're tiny enough to fit in your pocket (without the usual magical tangle from the 4th dimension that wire headphones get). I bet you'll really like them if you're keeping them. Biggest downside as an Android user would be that now you'll need a second type of charging cable because Apple has to be a special flower with the lightning cable

Well...okay, just had a conversation with my aunt on social media.never, ever thought I'd say some of those things to anyone. Some of us here are close, as far as not irl goes, but, I'd NEVER mention some of that here. I think, perhaps, once she gets over the shock she may still love me, and accept who I was, but damn....I thought I'd take some of that to the grave..

someone here was closer than they thought as to who I was, but, oh so far away.

That was cryptic as fuck. Now I think you're the Russian that Trump colluded with.

I'm thinking it may have been a drunk night for Kevin.

Canadian judge estimates 7.9 beers for that post.

[Hal-9000]

Found out my cool iphone airpods are really a knock off brand. And they suck

[KevinD]

I was definitely drunk, lol. But, the post is still true. Hal is off though...more like 7.9 whiskeys, after 8 beers. I haven't been that lit in years. Was fun though.

I'm still trying to translate...you had a convo with your aunt, and you mentioned some intensely personal things?

I find I've been doing that lately with some of my Dad's old friends when talking to them on the phone. And I'm straight while doing it
