My underground cable feed from Spectrum was damaged by an open neutral. They finally replaced it a month later but refused to reconect my service. I turned in the equipment and told them to close the account. They continued to bill me for months, then turned the account over to a collection agency.
I was 14 a band I loved was playing at a local bar. I was whining to my friend, a woman I babysat for about not being able to see them. It turns out she was a fan as well so we went together. She knew me well enough to know I wouldn't be a problem as long as I got in. I was admitted, no problem. But, my friend, a 33-year-old mother of five was carded. She was so delighted and happy the rest of the evening. We had a great time and I nursed a single cider all night. Yes, this was the early 1980s.
I have done it to, leaving all the items on the till, walk out the shop, straight to the opposite of the road in to a competitor shop. The reason for it was due to very rude behaviour of a shop employee. If you are in Belgium on the Vlaming side of the country and you are speaking Dutch with a very clear Netherlands accent and you ask polite for some pointers to where some items are, you may expect to get an answer in Belgium Dutch. This person only replied in France what I didn't understand. Now at the till that person noticed some items we asked for were missing and only now she replied in Dutch were we could find them. That was the moment we said if they could not behave like a decent person we wouldn't need anything from them and left. The competitor heard it from us and had a very big smile on her face and helped us while speaking very broken Dutch.
When we moved from Ontario to BC in the 1970s, my Mum, sister, and I each were allowed one 8-track tape that the other two were forbidden to complain about. Luckily, there were several artists we all liked, but that one exception for each person was torture on the other two. If I remember correctly, Mum's tape was Neil Diamond, mine was Shaun Cassidy, and I don't remember my sister's "one." We all enjoyed Gordon Lightfoot, Peter Paul and Mary, The Beatles, Harry Belafonte, Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Bonus chuckle: We drove out in a baby blue Ford Pinto Pony car, two women, a girl (me) and a guinea pig in a cage.
John. To help with the wife and no earbuds. Get a set of wired earbuds and keep them in the center console or glove box. Next time it happens, you've got them, no worries about charge
The first story made me think of a time I worked at a gas station. A young lady asked someone in their group for a Certain pack of cigarettes. And they were shocked when I asked for her ID because I heard her ask them for the packet cigarettes. If I had not known it was for her, there would have been no reason for me to ask. They were upset, but once I explained, they didn't question any further. As for the music story, I know of a song that's longer. Almost 14 minutes long of heavy metal with an orchestral background. And best part, with the way the album played out, most people aren't going to recognize when songs go from one song to the next. and the album's 40 minutes long.
First story I have done this twice, first there was one checkout, it had a line that snaked across the front of the supermarket and up the frozen isle, one checkout open that also did smokes so the checkout was constantly stopping to serve the smokes with two managers standing to the side chatting doing nothing, Said in a loud voice "Can't complain about the service, there is none." dropped the items on the floor and walked out. The second they closed the checkout after I loaded the belt, so I walked out.
I sometimes hear a car drive by on my street, with the noise (trust me, it ain't 'music'!) turned ip so loud I can hear the car windows rattling, and my house windows are rattling! Often all I hear is a low rumbling bass/drums. No other instruments audible. No tune or melody. A landslide is more melodic. 😮 I am convinced the driver must be basically deaf. I cannot imaging being inside that "Rolling Boombox"! 🤨
I can relate to the music story, only it wasn't about not liking the music. My wife and I like much of the same types of music, but not all. She has a Tatiana Ali cd. Not really into her style of music, but she is a fine singer with a very lovely voice and I didn't mind listening to the cd. Not at first anyway. We were running some errands several years ago, and she was listening to that cd, or more accurately she was listening to one song on it, over and over and over again. Just before it could fully end and go to the next song, she'd hit the button and start it over. None of our errands were near each other, so it was nonstop between each errand. No matter how good the song or the singer, there is only so much one can take. I finally snapped. As the song neared its end and she took her hand off the wheel to start it over, I lost it. I loudly informed her (not quite yelling but close) that if she played that song one more time I'd eject the disk and throw it out the bloody window. Play something else, anything else, but not that one and no more repeating a song over and over. For a time I couldn't stand hearing Bryan Adams "Summer of '69" for the same reason, and I love that song.
As for company credit cards, when I got my first "real" job in 1998 I was issued two company credit cards (One Mastercard, one American Express). I was personally responsible for paying them off each month (so no long term credit), but when used for company expenses (mostly hotels, as we used an in house travel agency for trains and planes, not sure about the rental car, cold have been on the credit card). Anyway, when you had a legitimate expense, you were reimbursed before the credit card bill was due. And when I went to Japan over a month break, there was no issue getting a significant amount of money in advance to cover allowances and expenses that could not be covered by the credit card. Good thing as I was just out of university with quite literally zero money to my name. I used that card to pay for groceries the first month, again, not an issue as I got my salary before the bill was due.
IT story: I had a cc at my first "director" level job. Never had a corporate card before. I called the HR assistant to find out the rules. My Jaw hit the floor as I found out my total allowed is $100,000 before I need sign off. This is the same company that a month ago it was an act of God to spend $5k on needed tech.
A couple of years ago when I worked as a support tech I was in charge of my office and the IT inventory but still needed signoff for any large purchases. All new at the company I was nervous about ordering too much stuff so I double checked everything I needed and came up with a shopping list of about $50'000 and sent it over to the manager. He quickly glanced at it and said "eh, I trust you as long as you are not purchasing for over $100'000 in one order" and that was the last time I needed approval for an order until I changed roles and my "normal" purchases now seldom goes below $120'000.
@Zorgsen I ordered half a mill in server crap when I was working for a big big bank. I figured I would need all types of signatures nope one vp and it was a go.
If a customer comes through with his family, is he unable to purchase beer because he's with a minor? It's ridiculous to ID everyone because they "might" give the alcohol to the child.
One of the rules of the car - my family *and* my in-laws - is that whoever is in the drivers seat controls the radio (and the heat or air conditioner). Also, on the first one-more-song request? Rookie numbers, heh. I would have gone straight to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and probably Orion (instrumental Metallica) on the second one - seventeen minutes and eight-and-a-half minutes, respectively. (…That said, I recently(-ish) purged everything lyrical from my driving playlist because I kept catching myself being too distracted. Even before that, though, most of the playlist was video game music (or remixes thereof).)
It's pretty rare for someone aged 30 to look even remotely underage. In my city, they collect dead leaves and branches to make compost, then, give it to the residents for their gardens and yards. Think of 100's of cubic metres of good, high quality, organic compost. My gripe with music, well, actually the radio, in the car. It was when I was a kid in the 60's. Back then, cars had only one crappy speaker set in the dashboard. When driving, my father would always turn the radio on, at a volume that was JUST high enough for me to hear that the radio was on, but, nothing more. Constant feeble droning with the occasional moderate droning. Ask my father to turn the radio off or make it louder to allow me to hear it. He would turn it off, just to turn in back on a minute or so later, or increase the volume only to turn it back down within a minute or so. Made me hate car rides.
Of course, for the liquor one, the smart ones wait outside... I got IDed at a bar when working out of town and didn't have it with me. I decided it wasn't my thing, so I went for a walk and ended up someones' date to a wedding instead. I fixed the bands amplifier, saving the reception and had open bar for the rest of the night. I got into the hotel in the morning far more blotto than any of the others. They were shocked. I have another drinking story from the same crew, different city...
In Massachusetts you can only buy alcohol at liquor stores so you have to make two stops anyway. Unless you go to Costco but even there it's two purchases.
oh i disagree completely - 10,000 watt system with 2x 12" woofers, 2x 15" woofers and kicker comp components (4x tweeters and 4x 6.5") in a nissan versa and if i turned it up driving to work, you could hear it 1/2 a mile away and with the windows up spl was so loud (130+ DB) that each bass hit your vision blurred like a mirror rattling due to compressing the fluid in your eyes :) (true story) - car was completely sound deadened with ceramic heat and noise deadener and 80 mill boom mat, neoprene door vapor skins and neoprene fittings for the tail lights and liscence plate > car didn't rattle, but your eyes did :) thing was tuned though and sounded like a concert hall
Does this work in the opposite way? Like if I am listening for a sound of something I can't see, will eliminating visual distraction help? Because it seems to for me.
@@seancondon5572 I woul agree, because your eliminating one sense and focusing on another.... I bet it gets better with practice also like monks used to / still do
the issue with the corporations getting so big... unfortunately, the governments have been so lax and/or corrupt that they have allowed the businesses to stack the market so the biggest win the most, instead of making it so the large ones have less incentives to buying up all their competitors, and no incentives/help for small companies to compete. Also, no help for anyone trying to start up a service company. And the big ones... have no care for the individual work done.
Naw, I worked in retail for a short time and yeah, if two people come up clearly together and buying booze or cigarettes it's store policy to ID them both. I'm going on 36 and I still get carded because I look like a college student. If you don't have ID like a driver's licence, for all the cashier knows your ID's been terminated due to drunk driving. You might not be supposed to have alcohol due to any number of reasons. I believe, though I could be wrong, that if your teenage kid is with you, then they also won't sell. Anyone can say "I'm this kid's parent, this booze is not for them." and actually just be some rando the kid convinced to buy for them. Same goes for if a kid walks in with their parent's ID claiming they were sent in to buy sigs for their parents "waiting in the car." Even though it was technically illegal we were allowed to just type in a reasonable b-day date for people the managers knew well who were obviously very old but didn't have ID. But that's because we're a small town area where everyone knows everyone. The guy getting hissy over a store policy the cashier has no say in and just leaving everything there is sooooooo childish. How old is he again? Rules are here for a reason and nobody's a special snowflake who gets preferential treatment
Alcohol purchase story: OP, while I get where you're coming from, this may be a case of law rather than just store policy. Just like with cigarettes, they don't want you buying for someone else who can't provide ID. If so, going to another store with your friend still not having his ID, the same thing is going to happen as the two of you are obviously together. Personally, outside of being at a beach, pool or at home or some such, why wouldn't you have your ID on you? Ambulance story: And you didn't tell the idiot driver that the kit was still at the station? From the sounds of it, the girl wasn't likely to survive regardless, but still. But truthfully, you should have been out of service until the check was completed and the ambulance restocked... PROPERLY! Jon, I strongly suspect body cams for ALL first responders are coming. If for no other reason than the insurance companies will demand it. Music story: Fortunately, my wife and I have similar tastes in music. But music is one of those things that's very subjective on what is considered "good". Working hours story: If he won't respect your time and hours, don't respect his. Well done!
As mentioned in the video: families with young children are not barred from purchasing booze. Silly that if it is only two people: suddenly everybody needs ID.
Normally I love driving and I love listening to music trap dubstep all kinds of heavy hitting tracks preferably with some brighter female vocals. It's somehow relaxing. I have really bad anxiety at times and music helps calm that down. Just like driving does. I love the open roads at night. What I don't like with driving at night though is these god forsaken Teslas bmws and whatever other hard that have the ultra bright super deluxe lumen lights. Honestly they are a road hazard because they blind you to the point of not seeing shit. I've installed high powered xenon lights just to be able to see after I get constantly blinded. And the worst thing is they are legal. My mod that doesn't blind people at all is considered illegal as the car didn't come that way.
I have ran into the I'd issue a few times. it's very irritating the holier than thou cashiers saying I'm not a mom so I don't understand stand ?. but my wife would forget her I'd and they will deny us the sale. we are both 34.
Satelite TV is about to merge so there's only one choice because of the availability of streaming and other services. The FCC is allowing it to go through, it seems.
If you have other people in a car with you and they find the music you are playing unpleasant, as a decent person you should turn the music off. Or potentially if you do have some common tastes, turn that radio station on/play that from the card or disk or whatever you are using.
I understand the idea for IDing everyone... but... when they don't have it and are not the one buying... it really would urk me, as I don't drink. If I had the time, and how they were talking to me was annoying enough, I would also walk on the entire order too.
First story, I think the store clerk trying to be dick and felt entitled, I'm sure the clerk got his arse handed to them by the store manager after losing one big purchase simply because the clerk decided to play hard ball, he only be lucky if he got a write up, worst case, got sent home early without a day of pay
If your wife keeps loosing ear buds, get a pair of cheap Sony full size headphones for $30-$45 bucks to keep in the car. They don't cost much, and they sound really good. The only catch is that the phone must have a headphone jack.
1st OP is a bit of bumhole there. There's carding policy that has be carried out. Don't approach the register without your ID and adult items. The cashier might have to card everyone who might consume and that's the law.
There is policy and there is law. I've stopped shopping at the Bremerton Fred Meyer due to their policy of scanning my ID barcode which has a ton of info they don't need and the law doesn't require... What irritates me is the law says to verify the ID; instead they flip it over and scan without even looking at the photo, DoB, etc. Hence not verified.
Driver picks the music, passenger shuts his cake hole. 😂
The warmup story is not even malicious, it is just common sense.
The request to ID all adults is easy to aviod. Only one person with ID needs to go through the checkout.
Great voice to hear stories

rule in our car is the driver gets final say on what's playing. if the passenger wants to listen to something else they can use earbuds.
Caveat for me is Driver picks, unless passenger is car owner, then they pick.

I have done it to, leaving all the items on the till, walk out the shop, straight to the opposite of the road in to a competitor shop.

Asking everyone for ID is usually required by state law.

Satelite TV is about to merge so there's only one choice because of the availability of streaming and other services. The FCC is allowing it to go through, it seems.
My music is shot
If you have other people in a car with you and they find the music you are playing unpleasant, as a decent person you should turn the music off. Or potentially if you do have some common tastes, turn that radio station on/play that from the card or disk or whatever you are using.
With the first story. I can see both sides. Yes stores rules therefore they card everyone. But i can also see the posters side that it's a bit absurd.
I understand the idea for IDing everyone... but... when they don't have it and are not the one buying... it really would urk me, as I don't drink. If I had the time, and how they were talking to me was annoying enough, I would also walk on the entire order too.

First story, I think the store clerk trying to be dick and felt entitled, I'm sure the clerk got his arse handed to them by the store manager after losing one big purchase simply because the clerk decided to play hard ball, he only be lucky if he got a write up, worst case, got sent home early without a day of pay
If your wife keeps loosing ear buds, get a pair of cheap Sony full size headphones for $30-$45 bucks to keep in the car. They don't cost much, and they sound really good.
The only catch is that the phone must have a headphone jack.
1st OP is a bit of bumhole there. There's carding policy that has be carried out. Don't approach the register without your ID and adult items. The cashier might have to card everyone who might consume and that's the law.
In some localities in the US, that cashier would have been following the law. I don't know how optional that would be in the UK.
There is policy and there is law. I've stopped shopping at the Bremerton Fred Meyer due to their policy of scanning my ID barcode which has a ton of info they don't need and the law doesn't require... What irritates me is the law says to verify the ID; instead they flip it over and scan without even looking at the photo, DoB, etc. Hence not verified.
