I went to the store, and the cashier took a picture of herself holding every single item I was purchasing. I've never going through selfie check-out again.

Aren't you supposed to be nekkid in a selfie?

No dislike. No seriously disagree.

Hatred. The same level I reserve for Nazis and people who don't hold the run button down in platformers.

If it's to loud you're too old.
I've always hated that saying. I shouldn't have to hear your music/tv/conversation/whatever. Keep it to yourself. Otherwise you're being an a&+$*$#.

Lol no I agree. But If I'm listening to music in private it's not quiet.


Soo apparently we almost got robbed tonight.


That's not exactly a good thing. It's good you didn't get robbed, but not so good that you almost did.

You can listen to your music as loud as you want, as long as I don't have to hear it.


pretty much right as I got here So a guy came in in a ski mask asking about what money we had in our draw and 2nd shift was like we don't keep money (good lie) so he dipped and apparently went to just about every hotel around us.


A hotel I used to work at got robbed. Guy came in with a bandanna tied around his face and his hand is his jacket pocket, suggesting he might have had a weapon. He made the clerk go into the laundry room behind the desk and lie on the floor. He then threw some sheets over her and told her not to move. Then he went to the desk, straight to the cash drawer, took the money, and left. He obviously knew something about the layout to know there was a laundry room (he told her to "go into the laundry room", not just "get in there"), and where the cash drawer was. The cash was kept in a drawer that was rarely locked (the lock was a real pain, so we typically didn't use it if we were at the desk), but he didn't realize that anything over a tenner was kept under the tray, so he only got like $30 worth of fives and ones.


Yeah we keep $100 MAx except during checkout when people are paying and it's still rare for us to take cash payment. we would be the wrong place to rob.

Also if dude worked their he should of just took it out of the register while he was working way easier to get away with in theory.


He didn't work there, but he was probably a guest or former guest. Or possibly in cahoots with someone who worked or used to work there. We actually kept about $250 in the drawer, he just didn't get the large bills.


We used to keep more back in 2019. 2020 has just been rife with changes.

It's crazy how fast word travels around here. The dominos across the street sent me free food because they thought I was robbed.


5 people marked this as a favorite.

That's nice of them, but almost seems like heaping insult on injury. "You've been robbed, so now you have to eat Domino's."


I was not complaining about the free food. in fact I was quite happy about it.


Yeah, I wouldn't turn it away. But I wouldn't really enjoy it. Never have liked Domino's much.

I don't have a lot of options at this time of night. also free. Something about a gift horse and mouths.


That's why I eat at home and then bring a snack, chips or popcorn.


That is probably what I should do.


I am a little annoyed with myself. I went to the grocery store this morning for the first time in 3 weeks or so, spent about $150, and forgot to buy more popcorn. So I'll probably have to go back next week. Which sucks because the point was to not have to go for another 3 weeks or so.


That or duh duh duuuuuuh gas station popcorn.


No.


That no just had so much force behind it I couldn't think of a response.


No, he's totally right. When I was in high school, my mom owned a little general store up in the mountains... about half of the store was beer, wine and spirits; the other half was convenience grocery, bait and tackle, video rentals, smokes, and tourist souvenirs. She prided herself on the cleanliness of her store. The only thing that *never* got cleaned out? The oil pan in the popcorn machine.


We have four grocery stores within a mile of here, so I don't worry if I forget something.

I also usually only shop for a few days at a time.

Holy shit. Thank God you are alright.


I sprained my thumb pretty good on the first snow run last week so it's been nice to let that heal.

It's not like the store is hard to get to, I just don't want to go back. Trying to stay away from people.

I'm not gonna pay gas station prices for microwave popcorn. Or anything, really. Also, I feel like it's more likely people won't wear masks at a gas station.

Nah, Gran is right. It's assuming the rest of the world wants to hear your music. I can FEEL my neighbor's bass some nights.

There's no reason for that.

Other people's noise never got to me until I started having mental health issues. This isn't an age thing, its a trauma thing. On good days where I'm feeling healthy, my kids can have songs with crude lyrics about wetness blasting at ridiculous volumes and I'll be like "sounds like they're in a good mood."

Honestly, on good days when I hear loud music I usually start dancing.

There's exceptions though. If someone has the score to the Shining going full blast and one of those high-pitched, shriekey moments comes up, I'd probably get annoyed.

My girls get so embarrassed riding in the car with me in the summertime. I'll pull up next to another car with thumping bass, make eye contact with someone in the vehicle, then start head-banging to the beat. My kids sink down and cover their faces.


CY, hopefully your thumb is all better.

VM, I'm glad you're ok and weren't robbed!

Gran, can we party if we promise to bring free popcorn, keep the volume down, and eat all the Domino's gift pizza so you don't have to?

I really don't get the hate about room parties. Our room parties were watching anime all night and cooking with the rice cooker and eating whatever we could and then passing out. We got security or what have you called on us for that but the people having very loud sex right next door? Nothing.

Yeah, all that Death Note was really throwing off my rhythm so I had to make the call. Sorry 'bout that.

Overall, it's definitely a "personal space" thing that aggravates me no end. In my travels, I've learned that Americans want and provide far more physical personal space than other cultures. Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to any sort of emanation:
- Slathered on perfume or aftershave
- Horrific body odor
- Loud personal conversations
- Loud music
- Coughing, sneezing, or otherwise spreading germs
- Smoking
- Vaping

In general, my attitude is, "You can do anything you darned well please as long as I don't have to inhale it, it won't cause me injury (for example, excessively loud music), and, if I am in my own home with the windows closed, I don't notice it."

I consider that a fairly low bar in requesting personal space.

It is far, far too high of a bar for most people in the world. And Americans are uniquely resentful. "Can you please not smoke in the elevator? I have asthma and there's a 'No Smoking' sign right there."
"This is 'Mericuh! I can smoke anywhere I want! It's my Constitutional right!"

Because it's always about "Constitutional rights". I think they believe the Constitution is several thousand pages long, detailing smoking, masks, shorts, thong bikinis, and all kinds of other topics it's utterly amazing the Founding Fathers thought of at all...

I go to a hotel to sleep. If you are making so much noise after 11:00 pm that I cannot sleep, I will call the front desk and complain. The reason people don't complain about loud sex is that it typically doesn't last as long as an anime marathon...

EDIT: The hotel we use for the high school Disneyland trip knows how to deal with it: All the large groups are put in one wing, and all the single-room occupants are in a separate wing. The only time we've had issues has been when either single-room occupants get put into the large-group wing because of booking issues, or when one of the large groups is so loud that the other groups have to come down on them. I'm looking at YOU, Disneyland cheerleading squad competition!

First day of teaching post-vacation, but we don't go back to campus until the 11th.

Also, Eve's daughter is three today.


Hello, everyone!

Scarab Sages

Yesterday evening MrT got a notification trough the dutch corona app that he'd been in contact with someone who tested positive. The contact was wednesday.
Today he got a test, so now we wait.


I hope Mr. T has good luck, Woran.


Fingers crossed for you and Mr T both Woran!

Unfortunately I've been alternating between episodes of Game of Thrones (season 1) and superfan episodes of The Office on Peacock so I had some pretty weird dreams last night, which ended up with me waking up at 5 this morning.


I think both Mark and NH nailed the loud noise thing. Things were NOT this reactive to me before last year, that's for certain.

If I'm paying $60+ a night to stay somewhere, you'd best believe there's going to be debauchery.
