“hi, i’m (insert early 30’s guy who hasn’t shaven for 2 days), and this is (his somewhat cleaner looking business partner)”

they’re standing in a loft type business office environment, lots of exposed brick

“and we were sick of (insert some completely inane thing and completely inane reason) and decided to reinvent the (completely inane thing)”

Their company is then named something & something

Ooohhh yes, nice tie-in

I'm sure this has already been said, but I want to punch a kitten when people type/write 'loose' when they mean 'lose'.  How effing difficult is this?! :bang:

when someone seppukus in front of the last train 3 stops from your home station and you wait for an hour and then decide to take a cab and then the cab driver wont drive you all the way home but only to your home station because they are trying to drive every person off two trains and then as soon as you pay the cab driver the train you were on pulls up

that form of power harassment is obviously a problem, if i had to watch a powerpoint.

January is a suicide spike time apparently because taxes are due.

Not much of an issue where I live, but taxes are probably quite a bit lower.

About 30 in Chicago area last year.  Mostly on the Metra commuter trains that serve the suburbs (ground level crossings), but some on the CTA too.

Assuming this has been covered, but.. Rude ass people trying to get on an elevator when it's your floor to get off. How hard is it stand out of the way and let people exit the elevator before trying to get in or being close enough to block people getting out.

Seems to be happening all the time at my complex and work office lately. Or I'm just old and grouchy these days and notice it more.

When people refer to a kid as Kiddo, as if it is a proper name. Like "Kiddo wants to go to McDonald's."
I don't mind as much when they use the word kiddo instead of kid, not as a proper name.
