    More than 1 employee was also looking up the item on their phone and were like "wait but it's on sale on our site!".

    Yeah, sheer laziness on the manager's part.

    Places of learning (like high school/college) I don't consider off limits for 'hook ups'. I consider the workplace as such because the potential for career/life destroying situations to be that much greater. That said, I'll back pedal slightly, as after thinking about it, I do have a 'tier' system for what is 'acceptable'.

    Absolute no go, is Boss/employee. (conflict of interest, potential for favoritism/blackmail/etc)
    Also no go, is hooking up with anyone directly in your line of command. (same as above)
    Slightly less nope: anyone within the same department.
    More acceptable: with someone from a different department (though it depends on how 'connected/visible' the two departments are)

    I guess my main thing against it is this: the less frequent 'breaks' from each other. No matter how much people love each other, many will still need time away from each other to varying degrees. Not everyone can handle constantly seeing their SO all the time.

    NOT A RANT: Just want to update guys. I've been checking amazon warehouse for bikes the last few days. But, suddenly they put up a bike for $20 "Like new" on warehouse. It's nick jr characters my daughter likes, her fav color, and the next size up! SCORE! :D

    I definitely get what you're saying. Especially about getting less breaks. I would agree that a workplace isn't an ideal place to date.

    I just received 4 email notification for
    6 threads I am following. Turns out all 6 of them were just bumpage without news. I reply to 2 of the thread with 'Bumpage without news, why am I not surprised' jokingly. Guess what, one member got pissed of by that.

    Seriously, sometimes I wonder why the people here get triggered that easily

    Sometimes the comments in a youtube video are funnier then the video. What I hate with a passion are the numbnuts that just parrot lines from the video. Why is that such a popular thing to do :/

    Me too. I still wonder how can they even get that much likes just by quoting the same line

    RANT: The GMs on my MMO went on a mass banning spree the last 3 days. Half of every guild is empty, people shouting on megaphones "RIP 'username'" for days now. It's crazy the amount of people gone. The game is nearly empty. And people who did nothing wrong, just charged money, bought items and played. But, the GMs said that anyone with too many high priced items were banned because it was "suspicious" because they don't expect people to spend that much in a game. o_O 

    A lot of my friends who were chargers gone. And this game is P2P! How do they expect people NOT to charge? And when they do, BAN them?! It's insane.

    Last year they banned for "empty trades" like if you did an in game trade, and was just giving a gift you got banned. They said it was suspicious as people wouldn't give nothing for free so they assume it's duplicated item or bugged item.

    Perhaps they inadvertently hired a bunch of Pokémon fans as GMs and they're trying to kill the competition from the inside...?

    Between Square, Bonanza, Target, and these MMOs, there's quite a market for stupid pills.

    Rant of the Day, USPS and FedEx have been dropping the ball hard. Nothing is being delivered on time. UPS on the other hand is still on point.

    Mini-rant: I HATE Fa(r)cebook's "new" layout. It's just plain nasty so I switched back to "normal" mode (on the plus side, FB Purity still works)

    Based on my experience as of late.

    Agree to disagree.

    For example I ordered a Mego Mr.Spock from Mercari for a friend.

    Expected delivery was Wednesday of last week it went out for delivery today.

    My friend which it was meant for was unable to meet the mail carrier (health issues).

    He lives in a apartment because of that (small mailbox) I recieved a text stating:

    "notice left insecure area"

    I have a vacuum on the way via FedEx.

    Scheduled delivery is tomorrow so hopefully things go smoothly.

    Holy forking shirtballs guess what showed up an hour ago.

    And is entirely in Chinese. No multilingual manual, no English labels...all Chinese. There were irregularities, such as being a different brand and telling UPS it was shipping from California instead of China and not paying sales tax, but the breadmaker does indeed exist and is sitting in my living room. At least it is the one that was pictured in the listing.

    Currently waiting on Walmart to call me back and discuss what they want me to do, since I got a refund last week.

    Im waiting for a guide for Minish Cap to arrive that was supposed to arrive Friday. It has been saying Left the facility in Oklahoma City since Thursday. It cost me $50 so it better arrive soon.

    This happened in April with a guide for Spirit Tracks that took almost a month to arrive from Chicago. Both by USPS

    I really like Prime because last Friday I ordered a guide for Four Swords Adventure and it arrived two days later on Sunday.

    Great. Now it says it arrived at a facility in OKC at 7:04am and left the facility in OKC at 8:34am. ಠ_ಠ
