Shit that annoys you

when my brother died in 2020 (cancer) my father and I went through his place and cleaned everything out. He had stashes of cash around the house, about $10g worth, that he told my father about and were retrieved before dying. But he had forgotten about a couple of them. I found a couple of thousand dollars in 100s in places like a wallet in a nightstand - that he apparently didn't even remember. Nobody had idea what he planned to do with all that cash. He always had hourly jobs working at supermarkets and fast food, but his day to day stuff was normal: bank account, credit and debit cards, etc, like the rest of us.

Skiing is way cheaper. But you got the cash.

Fred, maybe you should move somewhere where there's more air in the air. How about Wisconsin? It seems to have worked for Harry. You and Harry can hang out on the island and scope the ladies boating by.

Bankers told me it's common that boomers are scared of banks, and a lot took out even more money as the country closed in 2020 due to COVID

That's what bitcoin is for. And it annoys the fuck out of me that Costco won't take it at the food court.

Yeah, major provider (Rogers/Interac) had an outage a couple years ago that affected payment systems. Not cool.

It should be noted that the major proponents of cashless systems are the banks and processors who make money from them. (I rarely use cash btw.)

I remember. Payment systems, access to 911, internet, cellular, access to government services etc just non existent. Was pretty sobering.

If it screwed over ticketron I’d be for burning them down

Fuuuck. My nuts hurt looking at that.

True story: I've never fit the stereotype of my occupation, and the only work friends that became real friends were/are people who could flip the off switch leaving the parking lot. So one of those friends and I are going for a beer and we run into a colleague who literally lived the job. Just before we walk into the bar, friend one quietly says to me, "let's bet on how long it'll take friend 2 to steer the conversation back to work." I took 15 mins, he took 10 and won easily.

wtf indeed.

My wife is a court reporter and she did a deposition once where the deponent kept saying things like "the pilot's car was hit in the parking garage." It took her a while to realize "the pilot" was the guy speaking. :)

I've got a friend I ski with and I'll bet you he mentions his work to 90% of the strangers he takes a lift ride with. I guess some people are really into their work.
