People (work) who dont put their contact info in their email sig
Fun fact - I'm in Sales and we have subscription to website called Zoom Info(?)

Anyways I can find about 75% of XYZ Company employees contact info on there. It scrapes emails along with LinkedIn etc to identify their title/email/phone etc. I looked myself up in it and they had my employment history (from LinkedIn) and my current title/phone/email (from scraping emails) correct.

So maybe they are just a big shot and don't want a sleazy sales guy getting their contact info.

People saying there can only be one Highlander. The Highlander is the main character from the Highlands of Scotland. They all aren’t Highlanders.

zoom info has emailed several of our employees saying they had their info and letting them know they can opt out. Everyone has thought it is a phishing scheme to this point due to using the word Zoom in the name.

So ummm, I randomly looked up Chris Klieman on ZoomInfo and was going to take a screen shot showing what it looks like figuring that the info would be generic KSU contact info....

Nope....its got his personal email (thank god its a gmail address and not AOL/Hotmail) and there is a number listed for a cell phone that starts with a ND area code  :Wha:

It makes it easy to copy their full contact info to send to someone else

Buying small price items at QT, normally the cashier rings it up, you Apple Pay it, then they immediately say “Thanks see ya later, etc”

I wait a full 2 seconds, it’s not confirmed yet, I say “Thanks” and walk away.

What does this MF do... at a QT in MF OP!?

He goes, “Sir can you wait until it clears!?”

About 374 milliseconds later it clears. I have my mask on, he gets the dirtiest look I’ve ever given a human being.

If I wanted to steal under $3 of merchandise I would just grab and go. What the mother rough ridin' eff.

I mean, this guys is complaining about A few extra seconds at the Ricky Bobby of convenience stores. Accept the wait and do not blaspheme QT
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.

Any rough ridin' bad person that pours their drink out in a parking lot stall or drive thru. Duck that guy.
