Sales people who don't know crap about what you need.

My daughter wanted a fish. Granted I should have done a bit of research first. But when I bought a Blood Parrot and said it was going in a 5.5 gallon tank, you would think the guy selling me a heater and air thing would have mentioned the fish needs a 30 gallon at least. Found that out from a message board. So now I need to try and get a bigger tank as soon as I can. CRIPES!!!!!!!!

A simple fish has turned into a big mess!!!!!!!

I had something similar happen. Only mine was an Oscar (aka velvet cichlid). I realize that the common assumption is that people working in a specialized department should have a general knowledge of the product, but chances are you were dealing with someone working a summer job and only know to feed the fish x times a day and not what kind of fish they are. It's like getting your oil changed at Wal Mart. I worked the Tire Lube Express and had no prior experience working on cars except my own. Isn't it nice to know that people are driving on tires that I installed with on the job training?

Yup, people are still morons...
We had a Lab go home yesterday after spending the night at our clinic. It originally had gone to an emergency service. Apparently, a couple left their teenage son at home alone with the dog. At some point, the son noticed the dog eating a pack of cigarettes. He took it to the emergency place and told them she had eaten an entire pack of cigarettes as well as possibly an iPod. After reading the initial report, at the very end of the paragraph "owner thinks she may have eaten some marijuana" was tacked on. She was treated for marijuana toxicity after she was radiographed. The owner also claimed that she had vomited, was lethargic, and was having trouble using her rear legs. She had a pretty elevated temperature as well. Now if that wasn't bad enough, here's the topper: she had a HORRIBLE bruise covering almost the entire region under her chest. Our doctor said that it was "blunt force trauma." She believes that the boy KICKED this dog in the chest. Some people just need to be "weeded" out of the population.

OMG!!! I had decent at work....the first in about 3 weeks, and so I go to get my hair cut.....and go to right aid when I'm done with my hair.........I walk up to my car and see this old guy trying to pull into the space next to my car....emphasis on TRYING. From the angle I was seeing it from it looked like he had hit my car, so I go over to check and he starts screaming at me.

He think I'm complaining about not being to get out of the spot. I said I just wanted to make sure you didn't hit my car....he starts screaming that I need to learn how to drive, I started yelling back. I said , "Look how you're parked, but I need to learn how to drive ?" He was in the parking space diagonally, and just kept screaming at me.......I was so frustrated and upset, that I ended up hitting the guy in front of me. HE was so nice.....he checked for damage (there was none) and he waved me off, he said he saw what happened and knew I was upset, so he told me to enjoy the rest of my evening and he drove off...........

It's a place where kids with disabilities or emotional issues can go and have their sensory needs met while finding coping strategies for dealing with those events and experiences that challenge them. The Science behind sensory integration is iffy but most of us have seen kids react well to these experiences. It's not unusual for my students to wear weighted clothing etc to try to give them extra proprioception, vestibular and sensory input but having a place to go and practice coping with sensory information is becoming more common in schools that have such large populations of students w/ autism.

I'm good at math when I have a chance to wake up and remember what the hell I'm doing (it's been 7 years since I graduated high school). She kept interrupting and then complaining that I wasn't doing it the way the teacher wanted. Keeping in mind I'm not much of a morning person and now she's whining/yelling at me I snapped. Now she's all pissed because she's going to get a "c" instead of an "a" and it's my fault. I'm not a teacher and this is why.

Now you're just looking for reasons to be a Grumpy Old Fart. Next you'll be yelling at those damn kids to get off your lawn.

What pissed me off today? Dispatch talked me into taking one little run out to Kingston Springs, (a run I did once before, which, again, tricked my GPS into taking me down a dead end street), & then, while I was out & about, they started piling on other runs...again. Something like 150 miles before I was done, ran from one end of the city to the other, and then some. It's good money, but I was already over my SSDI limit by Thursday, & dammit, they've just about used me up this week.

Yep, another rant from your friendly Pixie member. :D

I've been sitting on this since the first of the month and it has not dimensioned in irritation so it's time I share it with my Pixie family.

When my granddaughter turned into a 'legal' adult under the laws of my government, I, for a number of reason/lessons, attempt to give them a passport as their birthday present. The 'hoped' implications of this I'll discuss in another thread, but our 'SYSTEM' is the point of major PISS-OFF now.

After acquiring the proper legal forms and having her parents fill in and supply the supporting documentation, I scheduled a lunch with her and went to the prearranged setting for the needed passport photos. After a polite lunch and kibitz about her new status in the worlds view, we went to the US post office (the 'official application accepting agent') to apply for a US passport from the US Department of State for a US citizen. The only issue was they would NOT accept US currency for the processing fees. :hair: That's right! The US government, working through all and only it's US government departments WILL… NOT… ACCEPT… US MONEY… for exclusive US government business. :banghead:

They will take personal checks processed through any commercial bank. They will accept any commercial credit card. They will accept money orders from any commercial issuing company or are even willing to 'SELL' you a postal money order of their own in exchange for US currency, but they will NOT accept US money unless it is processed through a profit making/charging organization that is suppose to be separate from my government.

Does this piss me off? You bet your fucking ass it DOES!!!! :mad:

White smoke just isn't good to see anywhere but I guess it's better under the hood than out the exhaust. Head gasket is a nice wish. :rolleyes: Even if there aren't apparent cracks you may want to have them magnafluxed if you're going to try to assemble a real engine.

An article in the OZ ABC News.

In reading this, remember that Indonesia is a relatively westernised country.

A town in Indonesia is banning women from straddling motorcycles, saying it is improper and against Islam.

Women in the town of Lhokseumawe will be told from Monday they cannot straddle a motorcycle or scooter, especially when sitting behind a man, and instead must ride side-saddle.

The mayor of the town, which is under strict Islamic sharia law, says the regulation is to protect women's morals.

"[It] is to maintain women's dignity and good image," said Suaidi Yahya.

But the move has drawn criticism from the country's biggest Islamic body, the Ulema Council, which say the Koran does not mention how to ride motorcycles.

The only difference is I have proof that my dad had insurance on his truck that I was borrowing, and I had insurance on my car that was broken down at the time. There is still a chance that the other guy's insurance is going to come after me, but they're trying to go after my insurance company first.
