I cannot make any sense out of the garbage receipt.
Some people are just self-important assholes who think it's their job to make sure everyone else is falling in line. Apparently Manhattan has a lot of these types.
rough ridin' Kansas has a lot of these types. One of the reasons I hate this state. If they aren't peeking in your window and talking about what they see the next day at the donut shop, they're engaging you in a conversation, feeling you out to see what you want or need at the moment, then telling you it can never happen and punctuating it with "I can tellya that right now." Examples:
"You ain't gonna get that car started. I can tellya that right now."
"Yore new lawn ain't gonna come in even with the heat wave comin'. I can tellya that right now."
"Ain't nobody gonna beat Obama come November. I can tellya that right now."
"K-State ain't gonne beat KU in basketball for another 25 years. I can tellya that right now."
