Do we really need to use this many packets?

The size of ketchup packets!!  Is there a scenario out there that call for mere drips of ketchup?  Maybe if you were one that applied this great condiment to one french fry at a time, but come on. I’m not saying these packets should be gigantic, but if you doubled the size you could cut the wasted packaging materials used in half! (more…)

Make it "10 items or less" or "all you can carry"

There should be a new rule about self-checkout lanes at the grocery store, particularly Jewel because that’s where I go. It should be 10 items or less or all you can carry, especially in busy times of the day. I had to stand behind some slow ass WNBA hopeful as she clogged up the only lane open with her overfilled cart. At what point did she think that would be acceptable to the people behind her? If you think about it, because your scanning and bagging everything yourself, you are taking WAY more time doing that. And you see the picture above? Not a whole lot of room to put your items after scanning, especially when that dumb machine expects you to put the items you just scanned on that ledge.

I was über mad because I was in a rush and this predicament forced me to go into another lane that forced me to interact with people. Ugh!

Cheesus!

I hate stories like this because people have WAY too much time on their hands. I’ll admit, I was intrigued by the person who sold a potato chip on eBay for $50 (or whatever) because it looked like the state of Illinois. I was only intrigued because I thought I could dupe people into giving me their money for a chip. Can’t blame you for making some quick cash from stupid people.

Well, apparently some woman opens a bag of delicious Cheetos and finds one that looks like Jesus. So rather than just popping that sucker down her throat-hole like any normal person would, she holds the damn thing and decides “Hey, I got a Jesus Cheeto! I’m calling the news right away! I must spread the word!” Are you kidding me? It’s a fucking Cheeto and you’re trying to pull it off as our Lord and savior? Did I mention she’s keeping it in a safe deposit box? Yeah. She’s waiting to collect the Mary and Joseph Cheetos to complete the set so she can show it to Jesus himself during the Rapture. Then Jesus will decide she’s not going with because it looks NOTHING like him. Saying he looks like a Cheeto? So disrespectful…
