A text is for asking "What time the party? or "I'll see you at work tomorrow to discuss." We are at the same stage in using the technology as we were when people would yell into the phone because it was a long distance call.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Turns out it didn't matter. I got an email today saying my application has been approved and to log in to schedule an interview appointment. Turns out my Pass ID was included in that email and that's what I needed. If you already have a NEXUS pass then you'll have that Pass ID.

Love that one!
Last time I rented a car and they didn't have the one I reserved, they hooked me up with the last vehicle they had available. Rented a mid-size, ended up with like a Yukon Denali, which was perfect since we ended up having to cart around 6 people a bunch that trip. Sometimes, just sometimes the lack of rentals can work out in your favor. I've also ended up with some nice convertibles and luxury cars that way too. I'm always super nice with the check out people, so maybe that helps?

The Denali worked out in that case, but for me it seems like they are usually trying to 'upgrade' you when you don't need or want an upgrade. When it's just me, or me and my wife, I'd prefer a small car that uses less gas, is easier to park, etc.
And has anyone ever actually gotten the car that is specified when you rent it "Toyota Corolla or similar" pretty much means similar, it seems.

I've been getting a lot of this...
CL moron: "Hi, do you still have the __"
me: "Yeah, want to set up a time to check it out?"
CL moron: "What's the lowest price you'll take for it?"
me: "Well i'm asking $20 for it which is a lot less than I should be asking for it already. Less than $20 and its not worth my time to deal with assholes like you. So, $20"
*crickets*

Yes! That's exactly what I'm talking about and exactly why I'm confused as to this weird texting negotiating tactic.
So let me get this straight. By getting straight to what the lowest I'll take for it, you want me to just preemptively lowball myself? GTFO. I don't mind wheeling and dealing, but there's an art to it. For one, at least take the damn time to check out the item in person. THEN you might have a leg to stand on if you want to drive the price down.

A friend re-heats leftovers to feed to his dogs. It's stupid enough to not understand that dogs just would not prefer it to be hot. What's mind-numbing is he thinks the dogs know about how heat works.
I tried to explain to him about getting piping hot pizza brought to your table at a restaurant. Yeah, we might burn ourselves with that first bite but that's it. We remember from the time before, that allowing a minute or two to pass means the food will cool down some. He thinks a dog would figure that out too.

I too prefer text conversation for many things, but Austin is right about Craigslist. The bullshit texts you get from ads drives me nuts.
Even just the "is it still for sale?". Yes it's for sale, that's why the ad is still up! Which leads me to another thing that annoys me: if your shit's sold, delete your fucking ad!

I'm sitting on a bench waiting for the bus. Morbidly obese lady wheels her chair up to the bench so she's facing me. Totally invading my space, takes out a bag of Doritos, eats them getting crumbs all over herself and then brushes the off and they go flying through the air onto me.
