I really hate Wal-Mart! I stopped to get some pajamas, some CDs, and something to eat. It's always such a bad experience to go there. I got hit by 2 carts, once was while I was standing in line to pay behind the lady who had to use 3 different cards (2 of which were EBT cards) then went and got into her 2013 Cadillac Escalade.

Admit it. You're just envious of her Escalade. And how she appears not to have to work for a living.

More often than not Wal-mart itself makes my shopping experience suck rather than the other people. They never have enough check stands open and nobody knows anything about the products in their department. One time I was in a wal-mart at about 5:00am, nobody else in the store. They had zero stands open and forced me to use self check out despite three employees standing there not doing anything. (I know, first world problems) I dang near just dropped the stuff on the floor and walked out. Another time I was in line in the express lane behind some folks with a cart full of stuff, but it was the only lane open so not their fault. The clerk pointed this out to them but they pointed out to the clerk that there was only one stand open out of 25 or so. Then after they paid and left the clerk tried to apologize to me because of them. I told her that I don't blame them, I blame the person that writes the schedule and only had one stand open. The couple wasn't being inconsiderate, they were forced to use that lane because the store failed to have more than one register open.

I'm also mad that they got rid of hand baskets at my local wal-mart. Not sure if they all did that or just the one near me.

The problem is, as bad as wal-mart is, the other stores are usually worse. At least when it comes to the check stands.

i know what you mean, but sorry, our 15,000 year glacial cycle started, and we have to keep you warm clime guys out, or they'd die. it's bad enough we provision normal people with brandy so they can cope with -40 degree average days, it's been observed that people say from new zealand just EXPLODE on contact with local air on exiting a plane. it's tragic, but if you can wait, say, 17,000 years, we might let some new folx in :D
 
walmart. lol.

i saw someone trying to return something like 3 carts worth of TP, because she found a deal elsewhere that saved her $0.23 cents, and she wasted hours of her time screaming, plus 20 people behind her, and ... she was still there when i left...
 
I was at a grocery store that wasn't a walmart the other day behind a lady and she was digging through a little baggie looking for exact change. I almost threw a dollar bill at the clerk (who was encouraging this. "do ya have a nickle?") just to get the line moving.

Lottery ticket fiends and coupon Nazis are the worst at the store. They should make these people drowned themselves in the river.

Some reason that reminds me of the time I watched a guy argue with the cashier at a gas station, refuse to pay, and drive off all while there was a police officer getting food there.

He paid in the end.

My dad used to be a cop and he told me one time he was at a convenience store on duty buying coffee in uniform when the guy he was standing next to tried to hold the place up. The robbery was unsuccessful.

I cleaned out a spot in the garage so the wifey could pull her car in last night. of coarse, she didnt. So my good deed was rewarded with more work in the form of scrapping ice off of her windshield this morning. I however, took care of that chore with the M-18 I threw in my Jeep the other day for just such a occasion. that worked pretty damn good too! :thumbup:
 
The local news girl, live, on the scene just said "It feels like single midgets out here". I'm betting that one makes the highlight reel.

Ice on your windshield? No problem! It makes removing your windshield a piece of cake! Need to cut a cake?...

I will say that pic is a hell of a lot more pleasant to look at that than your hairy chest.

For some reason, I am entirely NOT hungry for pie all of a sudden. Awesome pic, though!

Damn, Wisconsin winter sounds brutal! I guess you save money not having to buy ice for the beer though.. :D

One year I lived in an upstairs apartment, and the fridge was broken. The hall with the stairway was unheated... I was able to leave my beer and milk on the steps about halfway up so it stayed cold, but didn't actually freeze. Another year I got a great deal on a half-dozen turkeys right after Christmas, and just plopped 'em in the snowbank outside the shop. I got a little sick of turkey after a while, but I was not hungry all winter. Adapt and overcome! :)

WHOA! that's crazy to see the snow packed up on the door like that.

It really does happen. Not so much in Central WI, but up north and in the UP... yup.

Call it daddy juice around here. Little one saw me drinking whiskey and decided it was apple juice. All I said no its daddy juice. Luckily I try not to do that around them and make sure not to leave it within their reach. No drunken children to report. :thumbup:

When my daughter was about 3 she saw my gin & tonic on the table when I was in the other room and apparently thought it was a 7up... by the time I could say, "No, baby! That's for daddies!" she had taken a big ol' swig :eek: Naturally, she spit it out forthwith :barf: . The angry/surprised/grossed-out look on her face was priceless, and of course she got mad at me for laughing. Poor little rascal didn't mean any harm. That was the last time she "stole" Daddy's drink, and the last time I left an adult beverage within a toddler's reach :o

:thumbup: He was certainly an interesting and historically important human being. Not quite the saint some make him out to be, but who is? When I was in high school in the late 80's, I had the pleasure of becoming friends with a "colored"* exchange student from South Africa... pretty fascinating (and disturbing) to hear her point of view on what was going on there.

Please don't misunderstand... *"colored" is not my term... that was the official designation on her ID card. Seems pretty strange and wrong to us now (as it should), but at that time, yeah, people in that country were "classified" in that manner. :thumbdn:
 
Am I the only unlucky SOB who gets a major lag here? I have no problem on the other forums I frequent, but always get a major lag here. Sometimes I can't even get the forum to load, it times out.
