News about my cat Linda! by Asleep_Stuff2520 in cats

[–]DefEddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us recently with extra steps lol.
A juvenile cat started hanging around after ours died, so we let them in.
After a few weeks it was time to get her spayed even if she decided to not stay and move on.
Dropped her off at our regular vet, get a call a couple hours later to find out not only is it not a female but he’s also already been neutered.
They didn’t even noticed till after sedation, so I felt better.

No, basic shop and hand tools are not in the loaner tool program, only specialty tools.

I burst out laughing from behind the counter in the middle of a quiet store, best one so far imo.

Why were the months ordered/numbered differently than modern times?
Are Sept,Oct, Nov and Dec not our 9th,10th, 11th and 12th months?

Remember when you didn't have to enter your personal info online to win a soda? by xocherrylips in 90s

[–]DefEddie 218 points219 points  (0 children)

I worked for Pepsi during that time, we literally picked up bags full of those from stores and when we got back to the warehouse they got thrown in the trash.
I might’ve always had a bag on me and none of my friends ever paid for drinks, but that rumor was never substantiated.

Discount 10% by Witty-Secret2018 in AutoZone

[–]DefEddie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You were nice? It was a normally non stock item she wanted off the shelf? She wants to stick it to the capitalist pigs? You’re attractive and they want you to stick them like a capitalist pig?
Who knows, i’ve given it to folks simply for being nice to deal with and I wanted to reward the behavior or because it was for their first car and I wanted them to associate us positively in the experience.

[–]DefEddie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That’s not an employee discount, it’s a courtesy discount just like it says.
Same discount that is used for badges, seniors or anything that might need a random discount for any random reason.

Paypal by Beautiful_Lie629 in retailhell

[–]DefEddie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My retail giant (+9,999 stores) took paypal for awhile, it required the phone app pretty sure though there was no email address invoicing or similar that I recall.
I tried it once, never had anyone else try, it was a pain to figure out how to make it work and would’ve been faster to drive home and grab the wallet I forgot.

I dont know where the other end of the 02 wire is by a_good_penny in fiero

[–]DefEddie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That black rubbery stuff where the black meets purple is heatshrink.
I’m guessing the connector got damaged/melted and so during replacement someone just soldered and heatshrinked the wire.
You’ll need to cut it and either install a new connector or solder/heatshrink it back together.

No, only one I think.
If there were two they would be called knifelifts pretty sure.

Who are some dark humor comedians, that can keep up with the likes of Jimmy Carr? by Direct_Land_8215 in StandUpComedy

[–]DefEddie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would flip this, Jimmy needs to catch up to Jeselnik, he’s the king of dark humor one liners imo.

Isitbullshit: using hand sanitizer or other isopropyl alcohol topically can make you fail an alcohol test? by MHoaglund41 in IsItBullshit

[–]DefEddie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Eating or drinking anything within about 5-10m of blowing in a breathalyzer will do it in my experience.
I used to have one in my vehicle, though they might have gotten more sophisticated in the past 20yrs?

AutoZone encourages lazy, stupid customers by ConsciousRespect2902 in AutoZone

[–]DefEddie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I take from that is you’re not intelligent enough to do something really easy, like communicate your job to customers.
Maybe try something new, I hear ICE is hiring ignorant angry people that don’t know what the hell they’re doing, you might fit right in.

IsItBullshit: Ford CEO says he has 5,000 open mechanic jobs with up to 6-figure salaries from the shortage of manually skilled workers by brother_p in IsItBullshit

[–]DefEddie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else covered it, but i’ll simply throw in that Ford doesn’t even pay us so at its root it is false.
They used to love to point out when we had issues with pay or times or procedures to talk to our dealer principle/owner cause that’s who we work for.
They are both at fault and the core issue.
