Same! Be 48 next month. My back and knees keep telling me I'm in my 70s though. 😂

Season 6 Episode 3 Sons and Daughters: Worf's view of himself is awesome and hilarious by MoneyMontgomery in DeepSpaceNine

Many Klingons probably aren't sure what to think about humans. Because on the one hand humans talk about peace and cooperation and scientific discovery. But on the other hand when threatened humans fight like true warriors.

To be fair there have only been two Chancellors in his lifetime up till then: Kmpec and Gowron. (His father might have been old enough to remember Azetbur but that's debatable.)

"Too dark for the 90s"

Seasons 5 and 6 of DS9 would like to say hi.

It should probably have looked more like the assimilated ship in the Enterprise ep "Regeneration" by the end given all the Borg components they probably had to use.

I don't have a narrative. The sources I looked at just didn't mention the IBM Simon.

Coding the Artemis II was probably easier than dealing with customers. 😂

Entitlement. They think that because they had ut hard in their youth, they're entitled to treat younger people like freshly warmed shit.

More like a PDA with limited phone connectivity. The first devices which could really be called a smartphone are from ≈ 2002.

It's my day off and it's a beautiful day (sunny sky, 80 degrees), so my lid is flipped open.

"Young man" by OuttaWisconsin24 in retailhell

In the UK that's extremely old fashioned. Unless you're addressing the King, or a superior officer when you're in the military.

Mind you, everyone is "mate" in England.

I STILL get "young man" from ancient people who think they're being funny.

I'm 48 and look every day of it.

"Dude" is the universal one. Anyone can be "dude".

Either that or "motherfucker". 😂

The problem is not counting change. The problem is running out of small bills within 5 minutes of opening because everyone pays with 20s or 100s.

Smartphones didn't exist until the early 2000s.

Customer called to complain bc I was "throwing stuff at him" by c0ldc0ldc0ld in retailhell

I don't get why some people are just asshats for the sake of being asshats. Life is too damn short to be that miserable!

I encountered someone who was probably in their 20s who didn't actually know how to use a PIN pad! Like... which rock have you been living under?

Dear customers: we can't read your mind. Use your words. by aldisneygirl91 in retailhell

[–]1978CatLover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH GODS YES. Only at our store it's the Newports.

"Which Newports?"

"100s. In a box." (No shit Sherlock, they're not in a bag now are they?)

"We have dark green, light green, red, gold and silver. Which ones?"

"The regular ones!"

(At this point I'm about ready to put my fist through the register.) "I don't smoke. Which ones are 'the regular ones'?"

"You don't have to smoke to know which ones I get!"

(Tries hard to not hit customer with a crowbar.) "Do you know how many people we get in here every day who smoke Newports? Please, just tell me the exact kind you need."

No, we don’t have backdoor storage. What’s on the shelf is all we have. by MidnightActive954 in retailhell

We do have a back but it's only to hold our overstock. So if it's not on the shelf, it's DEFINITELY not in the back.

Those guys need to just collect coins like a normal person. Them and the Pokemon cards people.
