Ran completely out of groceries. No one in my house willing to give me a ride to the supermarket. I have like an end piece of bread and maybe a scoop of ice cream. That can last a weekend, right?

Ice cream sandwich
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

It'll have to be open face though. Or I could fold the piece of bread I guess.

I hate that so many American acquaintances have started conspicuously using British-isms recently:

-"Cheers"
-"Mucking about"
-"When I was at university..."
-"Brilliant"
-"shite"
-"a proper _____"
-"colour"
-"arse"
-"get a pint"
-"dodgy"



Is it okay to slap these people?

You forgot "my lady" my least favorite.
You look like a really healthy Arthy Lang.

Mission accomplished.  Lock it down.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Having to listen to my friend talk about her child's militant nap schedule.

I don't care anymore. If you can't go do social things because the kid has to nap at the same times every day, that's fine. Just STOP involving me in your decision-making process. Not everyone believes a 14 month-old has to go to bed at 6:30 each and every night. Some people bring their children to weddings and dinners and other social events or let them fall asleep in the car. I am tired of having to agree with you just to make you feel better about this mania. Chill out and let the kid get used to shit. Or keep him on "the schedule". Either way just stop talking about it constantly because we all know that as a person without children, I'm not allowed to voice any criticism -- or in this case -- my true opinion on the matter.

I didn't enjoy people telling me it was too hot or cold for my baby. Stay out of my business, non-baby-having jerks.

Do credit card companies have a per-transaction fee?  I worked at a place that had a "$5 minimum," but the owner was not able to give a coherent reason why. (Note: 5% of $2.50 plus 5% of $2.50 is the same as 5% of $5.)

I assume they're just trying to make extra sales.

I think some places have to pay something like a dollar per credit card transaction.  So they impose a minimum CC payment themselves.  

I went to buy an item at a convenience store that was something like $4.65.  I went to pay with my card and he tells me "We can't take credit cards if it's under $5."  Then he says "Well, we CAN.  But we don't want to."  

You don't want to?  I wanted to walk out of the store without paying so he'd say "Sir, you have to pay for that!"  Then I'd say "Well, I can.  But I don't want to."  
"Heave Ho!"

The chick my boss is going to marry.  She used to work with me, but left for grad school and comes back to visit occasionally.  All the people up top love her but she chooses who she likes and doesn't like of the newer people.  I'm one of the people she doesn't like and I've known her for 3 long years.  I knew she didn't like me the second we met.  We have a "family environment" so she comes to all the parties and gives me hugs and stuff but it's clear she doesn't like me. 

Last night, she was around and I congratulated her on her engagement.  She thanked me and I asked to look at her ring.  She showed me and it was pretty.  I told her she was going to make a beautiful bride, which is true.  She replies, "We'll see."  WTF?  What does that mean?  F you.

You are so right.

Chill out, parents. Your kid will still be OK even if you're not stressing out 24/7. It might even help.

Several times a week at my work cafeteria, I'm subjected to someone in the check-out line attempting a conversation with the cashier where they throw in whatever Spanish words they happen to know (the cashier speaks perfect English).  She just has to smile and treat these people like children ("that's very good!")

An example from this morning:

Lady: "Buenas deeyas"
Cashier: "Hi, haven't seen you around in a while"
Lady: "I've been busy with my trabahjo since June, how do you say "June"?
Cashier: "Junio"
Lady: "Juneau"

Saw Tom's tweet today and I wholeheartedly agree about Nikki Finke. She's the worst part about Hollywood where she embodies entertainment as purely a business. Whenever I've read stuff linked to her site, it makes me think she probably hasn't see a movie in like 12 years or watched a show in ages.
