Work related peeve. Every once in a while i'll get sent a form to fill out. It absolutely enrages me when I get sent a form with data boxes or whatever and when I put my info in where it tells me, the rest of the text moves all over the place messing it all up. I have to spend an hour reformatting the damn thing because some dumbass sent a word doc instead of pdf or whatever.

Thanks. I just looked at my keyboard and it apparently has that key. I have no idea what it does or how it works, but i'll try this next time.

People who don't return the shopping cart to the cart return stall, but rather leave the cart in the middle of a rough ridin' parking spot.

Why do so many Uber/Lyft drivers insist on having airflow completely off? I'd say this happens with like 9 of 10 drivers I've used.

I hate the stagnant air but as a socialist from the Midwest I do not dare confront the driver about this.

Do I still give 5 stars and tip 25%?

YES

Went to Yosemite last week but spent a day in SF. That morning Uber driver rolls up wearing a wool cap and heat on at full blast and I’m thinking my brother in Christ it is 52 degrees outside relax

But as a born and raised midwesterner I politely held my tongue and probably left a gigantic sweat imprint on the back seat

Was asked if I wanted to leave a tip for a carryout pizza the other day. What are everyone's thoughts on that?

This prob going to go into a deeper discussion but I always wonder this too. I just got a coffee and it is a self serve. She flipped the payment thing to me to add a tip. I almost always leave something, but still think its weird when I basically do everything myself. The coffee one really annoys me because the choices aren't a %. The first option is $1, so my $1.85 coffee that I had to get myself is now $2.85.

Studies have shown that the mere existence of a tip line or tip prompt will get people to tip, and I think that’s what’s going on here. I struggle with this as well. I’m more than happy to tip for good service, but there comes a point where it’s like okay you have done the minimum amount of work to allow this business transaction to take place I’m not sure what I am tipping for.

I give $1 for takeout, unless it's like a whole company order or a lunch and learn for students and then I tip 20%.

No way am I tipping anything on a self-serve coffee.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I honestly have no idea how I tip for that. I’m guessing barely anything since I usually order through an app and I’m definitely not paying like 10 or 15%. Maybe a few dollars.

It's cornucopia season in my household until Thanksgiving, and you can't change my mind.

I hate Christmas before Thanksgiving.

But bring up in Canada they've already done their Thanksgiving so it's full on Christmas :cry:

ty all for your support on this matter. Despite this complete annexation of November, any day now we should see some of the good folks over at fox news start going off about the War on Christmas

Common Mandela effect at play here... People think the logo may have currently or formerly included a cornucopia but actually they just changed the spelling to FRUIT of the LOOM from it's original FROOT of the LOOM
