Juxtapose that with another Kroger here where you can actually get murdered.

That thing looks like it's home to a mid-level startup

Ooh, Hawthorne Freddy's peeps are in the house! It used to bother me how often I saw people bring their dogs in. After I saw a dog with its paws up on the olive bar, I Karen'd out and went to the customer service counter to ask what their policy was on dogs in the store. They said "we don't care".
So I started bringing my dog in. He fucking loved it.
Oh yeah, its pretty wild. For reference, here's the before:Quote:

It’s going to be an interesting few days of having to travel across the country.

Well needing work mid winter with 4’ of snow on the ground. At least the weather was crap for skiing and I still got my exercise.

^Ugh. My back aches just looking at that.
Patchouli. Patchouli greatly annoys me. I don't even get it...it actually smells worse than most BO. Is it like Cilantro, where it tastes like soap to some people?
OMG, no kidding. I was just parking my car in front of my parents' house, and a woman that I saw walking their dog several hundred feet away must've been a closet hippie because the patchouli was still lingering in the air.
I think that is sometimes their goal? Dated a sweet hippie in the early 90s. The sweetness of her BO was unbearable.Quote:

Trying to watch the game and the only stream I can make work is manning cast.
I got a couple Leafs sweaters for xmas. Not feeling the vibe with them, so decide to return. Get a shipping label from the company, and oh look the destination warehouse is only 15 min away. So, in an quest to save someone some time and effort, I decide to just go and drop this off myself. Drive there, takes me a bit to find the right building and door. Ring a buzzer, security guy comes and opens it. I try to give him the package.
"We can't accept these from customers."
"Why not?"
"They have to come from Canada Post."
"Well, where does Canada Post bring them?"
"To the loading dock"
(I can see the loading dock)
"Well, can't you just take this over to the loading dock for me?"
"No, it's not allowed."
On one hand, I don't believe him. On the other, this sounds like something certain managers in my company would do.
I still have this package.
Douche bags that think it's acceptable to completely gear up in the shitter stall i.e. buckle up boots, close all zippers, flip hood and drop goggles.
I'M SHITTIN' MY PANTS OUT HERE!!!!
That's gross. I want to spend as little time in the ski lodge shitter as humanly possible. Only enter of absolutely necessary. Full on shit race. Who dafuq gears up in there?Quote:

Exactly. And FFS don't take your food & drink in the bathroom. Disgusting.Quote:

Coffee cleanse at least 1 hr before heading to the hill.Quote:

Aspen, February 2019. Talk of a mysterious virus in the air. Hope it stays in China. Ate a quality wrap (think it was the Wrapzilla™) at Big Wrap for lunch, then back up Ajax for afternoon fun. Sitting on Gents Ridge chair, and oh no the rumbling begins... get to the top, and it's gone. We're gonna be fine, maybe just a fart... Start skiing, and nope. It's coming. Now the race begins, gotta get to the bottom in like 5 minutes or less. Absolutely bombing it, squeezing my ass cheeks together. Big "SLOW" sign at that weird corner, screw that. Get to the bottom of silver queen, take skis off, throw them on to the closest rack, and just fly down the stairs in my boots to the shitter. Run in, "please be empty please be empty" and oh my god yes.Quote:

How does this work? Do you just grab a handful of loose crystals and rub them around, or do you pack it in to some sort of shaped tool that fits in the crack? Do you throw the shit-covered ball back towards your buddy? What do your gloves smell like?Quote:

Had to switch planes for some safety issue on the old one and I left my $6 bottle of water on the old plane. Doh.
People simply disregarding traffic signals because the roads are snowy. Somebody is going to get fuckin' PASTED if they're not more careful. :mad:
Don't forget your poop bag.
Never had a sudden urge on the hill/hike, but after driving sea level to 7k' I've been known to park in the handicap space, do the squozen cheeks tippy toe to the nearest lodge poop house. The one time somebody acted liked they were going to speak harshly to me, they backed off after they observed my my squaddly hasty walk.
When the berms are higher than the cars it makes sense to go slower even if you can go faster.Quote:

Pretty good advice though
