The case of “missing Armstrong” has struck me. I am missing the poor guy, but I just haven’t had a good story for him to fit into. So this is what I chose, a story about how he sees you reading my strip. It’s just weird enough for him, and just fun enough for me [...]
You’ve complained almost every time you come into the place I work, why do you keep coming back? You clearly are not getting the level of service you want, yet you keep putting yourself back into the same situation. I will never understand these people. Now, don’t you tell me you don’t remember me because [...]
The fastest 30 minutes of a persons work day will always be their lunch break. It’s like it take 20 hours to get through the first 3-5 hours of your shift and it takes 10 minutes to get through that 30 minute break. When I was younger, people took what was called their “lunch hour” [...]
Bringing your own lunch from home saves you money and time. However, not everyone has the time or preparation to get lunch the day before but your job doesn’t care, you only get 30 minutes. If you consider that you stand in line and wait for your food for 10 minutes (unlikely), then you would [...]
The difference between people on the west coast and the east coast is completely different, and it’s amazing how different. One of the first things I noticed was how upset people get about personal space here on the west coast. I’ve tried to convince many people to get onto a crowded elevator, and they just [...]
Oh dear.. who hasn’t been there? Sometimes we even mess up opening the door with the sign in front of our faces that say push/pull. Naturally, we miss these signs because we are looking beyond the glass. It also doesn’t help that some are pull and others are push. A good sign is that if [...]
I get that some places make it super easy to do returns, and because of these shitty places (looking at you Walmart) we have stupid reasons for giving people their money back. There is no way you should use something for a majority of its lifespan and expect to get your money back. I had [...]
I haven’t been pulled over on the freeway in ages. The last time I was “almost” pulled over, I am not sure if I was actually being pulled over or warned. I was going well over the speed limit cough cough 115 mph cough cough, following this truck from California to Utah, and it was [...]
I don’t know if people know this… there are signs on the side of the road that say the left lane is for passing only. Seeing these signs… why am I still passing you on the right? UGH! One of the other maddening things is when someone takes up the left lane to pass and [...]
I recently went on a trip to Northern California, and it was beautiful. It took about 11 hours to leisurely get back to Seattle, and it was pretty much beautiful the entire trip. Being in the redwood forests is awesome, you can’t fathom how huge these trees are without actually being there. If you ever [...]
