That’s cool…..I’ll have to be more aware, maybe there are some around but then again, ‘Bama isn’t overly eco-conscious. I have seen them at hotels in the area where guests can use them but not at general retail spots.
It's hilarious because any time I go in there for BBQ or a beer run the same cars are chilling,... the owners are in there all buddy buddy with the staff,... lol

When people order "To Go" and proceed to eat it in the restaurant out of packaging that just upped restaurant cost and then watching them chuck said packaging in the trash. And even taking a "to go" paper bag to just carry the boxes 10 feet.

In the flip,… MANY times I’ve ordered ‘for here’ and they put it in the to go bag…. I’m like, ‘ok, but I’m still eating here.’

I’ll always start my order with “This is to go” and invariably they will ask, “Is this for here or to go?” Quit being a robot and listen.

what standard(s) dropped the last few years in our processing plants??? Chicken wings almost always have feathers still in them now. I can not remember EVER seeing that years ago but now it’s like one out of every five pieces of chicken needs serious work before I am comfortable cooking it,… feathers everywhere

Movies claiming ‘inspired by real events’,…. It’s either factual or it’s not and 9/10 these ‘inspired by’ are nowhere near history but we all know droves of movie goers come out of the theater thinking, ‘that mess actually happened!!!’

Toilet tissue dispensers in public bathrooms being so damned low on the wall (well below knee level) that you can barely use them. This has long annoyed me, but I've encountered it so many times in the past few weeks that I'm now ready to start ranting. You need arms as long as an orangutan's and with an extra joint to reach the paper. The bottom of the paper dispenser should not be barely above mid-calf height. You flippin' can't reach it without bending way over and to the side, then contorting your body and arm. I get that sometimes there's just no better place to put the dispenser, but that's usually NOT the case. It's like the person installing them just went, "Hey, there's an empty spot on the wall" without actually envisioning how that location would work.

I was thinking that just the other day,…. No joke


How about my FB feed being filled with nothing but she hulk, rings of power and GoT ‘if you don’t like you’re a knuckle dragging racist’ posts,… it’s literally everywhere. There’s zero reason any ad sense would think I like comics or fantasy (I loathe both) and I couldn’t care less,… it is interesting how all three follow the same base take tho. Prove you’re not an asshole by liking our show,… I swear it’s like every fifth post I see for a week now, becoming more and more clear it’s just marketing and not really reaction takes,… I block one page,… here come ten more. Anyway,… the new Beavis and Butthead is comedy tho

You should follow me. My feed is basically African animals getting eaten, guitars, and hot Ukrainian women dancing. Well, that and the random penis enlargement ad.

Sounds like that Metamucil finally kicked in.

Getting an email that says "Your item has shipped", only to check the tracking number and see that it hasn't. They just created the shipping label.

or

Getting a notice that your package will be delivered in four days and when you check on the fourth day at 5:30PM it says your package is in Olathe, KS. Three days later, it's still in Olathe, KS..

I hear ya. Doubly frustrating when it's stuck on "created the shipping label" for two days.

Watching IE turn into NDNation
I know it sucks when something you care a ton about gets dumped on, but when you lose to two teams (at home!) who have a combined zero wins against Power Five competition outside of us, there aren't going to be a lot of positive outlooks and rosy conversations, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, the transition to NDNation started this summer. The Bipolar "takes" are a bit too much to take. I miss having rationale discussions.

Yeah, that's fair. A lot of the newbies did come here and spew some garbage around the Dante Moore stuff, followed by Keon Keeley.

Hopefully they destroy UNLV and we can get back on the right track.

So I check a few minutes ago and it's still sitting in Olathe, KS. Those knuckleheads have had to misplace the damn thing. Probably fell off the conveyor, then got ran over by a forklift, so some poor schmuck tossed it in the trash so he wouldn't get yelled at.

Somehow I feel this is my fault.

What a comedy. Now FedEx says it left Olathe, KS on the 16th and is in transit. Five days to get to Indy? They must be stopping at every truck stop with a Denny's along the way.

Five days to get to Indy? Would it be quicker if you changed the delivery to the Irsay YMCA? I heard you're heading there anyways...

Can you blame a fella for enjoying a few dozen Super Slams?

I had a similar experience this week. When the package finally came, they simply threw the package in my neighbors yard by a mailbox in the pouring rain.
