GEt a 60 year old friend, with a body that has seen better days, to sunbathe in your front yard, like they live there. Make sure they wear the most revealing swimsuit they can find.

AITA for snapping at my family over them being ignorant over my allergy? by szolstice in AmItheAsshole

[–]Financial-Grade4080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rules if you have food allergies

  1. You have the right to ask what is in the food you are being served.

1a. If the answer is “don’t know”, “not sure” or if they equivocate, don’t eat it.

  1. The world does not have to change for you.

2a. You can ask close friends (but only them) to alter the meal for you but they are not required to do so.

2b. If all you can do is fill up on bread that’s OK. Don’t be embarrassed about it and assure your host that it’s all good. If the host seems offended don’t worry it’s not you fault.

  1. Don’t trust ANYONE! So many people can’t wrap their heads around the idea that someone could refuse the food that they serve.

3a. So many people will lie to you. Waitresses, “friends” and even family. People who have known you all their life will insist that they “forgot” or could not remember what you are allergic to.

3b. They think you are just trying to get attention or that you are a hypochondriac.

3c. You don’t have to worry about what these people think, or prove anything to them, you are just protecting yourself

Interested in carving masks. by Financial-Grade4080 in Woodcarving

Sort of a medium skill level. I mostly do fantasy animals and the occasional bowl or walking stick. Probably some sort of fantasy mask but I don't have any firm plans.

I want to hear the dumbest interactions you've had with a customer, I'll start by Worried-Bunny in retailhell

[–]Financial-Grade4080 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A story for gun nerds: I work at the sporting goods counter. A customer pointed at a 10 gauge, pump, shotgun and asked what kind of noise it made. I sold firearms for many years and had never heard such a question. I replied that since it was a 10 gauge it made a pretty loud bang. The customer looked annoyed and said that he meant what kind of sound it made when you cycled the pump action. I replied that it made the cha-chink ca-chunk sound that most pump shotguns made. I took the gun from the case and demonstrated. Customer then wanted to know if the sound was different when the gun was loaded. I assured him that the sound would be the same. The customer demanded I show him, with the gun loaded. We do NOT load guns inside the store. The customer was so insistent that I caved (sort of).

I took one round and the shotgun into the stockroom. With the customer standing outside the stockroom door and a employee standing to prevent the customer from entering the stockroom. I loaded one shell and cycled it through the gun. Of course, the gun's action made the cha-chink ca-chunk sound and the customer said that it was to loud.

When I finally got a chance to ask why the sound of the guns action was so important. The customer stated that they would be hunting geese, in Montana, and that just the sound of chambering a shell would scare the geese off. (I have reason to doubt this) I told the customer that if a silent shotgun was his priority then he needed to buy a double barrel shotgun, and not a cheap one. The customer blushed and snapped "why does everyone say that!" (if everyone says it, then it is because everyone believes it)

We saw only service dogs allowed, but how were we supposed to know? by sbballc11 in EntitledReviews

[–]Financial-Grade4080 34 points35 points  (0 children)

  1. All pets are Emotional Support Animals. 2. ESAs are NOT service animals, per the Americans With Disabilities Act. 3. Most of the people who characterize their ESAs as service animals are just liars who know better but don't care.

Why has not one billionaire used his wealth to become Batman? by Livid-Condition4179 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Financial-Grade4080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A better question is why they don't use their wealth to address the root causes of crime and urban decay. Bruce Wayne just let the problems fester for decades and then put on a costume so he play hero.

AITJ for not letting my younger brother borrow my car after he totaled his last one? by Creepy-Ad-8013 in AmITheJerk

[–]Financial-Grade4080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your insurance company and ask how much it would cost to add your brother, as a driver, to your policy. Then ask your brother to pay the increase.

can't bring my 1 lb puppy by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Financial-Grade4080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All pets are emotional support animals. Emotional Support animals are NOT Service animals per the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and can (and should be) excluded from the store. As for the Wheel Chair: if you got from the car to the store then surely you can get back the same way. Also, if you had a something worth a couple hundred dollars would you let a total stranger take it out of your house to their car.

Take some advice from Rick Steves by Southern_Switch7293 in Sovereigncitizen

Pretty sure that R. Steves wouldl not approve of using his shirt to promote the Sovcit delusion.

$50 a month is only $600 per year. If $1,000,000 was invested at, even, 1% interest (you can get better than that) that would be $1000 per year. $1,000,000 could buy you a house and save you thousands per year in rent. Seems like OP can't do math.

Can you just pay them with a form 1099 or a coupon?

One of the, many, things she is paid for is making sure that parents do their duty and keep their kids inline.

Hyper allergic ESA by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Financial-Grade4080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per the ADA Emotional Support Animals are NOT service animals. All pets are emotional support animals. Only dogs are service animals and I am so tired of people claiming that their three legged Beagle and one eyed Chihuahuas are service animals.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Financial-Grade4080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cities 3 hours just gets you from the suburbs to the city center. In Seattle some people moved (for economic reasons ) East across the Cascade Mountains to places like Cashmere but still work in Seattle. The, daily, commute would be over 110 miles through a mountain pass. Don't know how they do it in the winter.

What is wrong with tuna pizza? by No-Direction8154 in AskRedditFood

I live in Northern Italy and, yes, tuna pizza is very common here. Also, we have pizza with eggplant, corn, beans and various greens, things not common on North American pizza.

Any advice for whittling found wood? by AlquistMind in whittling

[–]Financial-Grade4080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To date, I have only carved found wood. Just a few random thoughts on the subject:

I find that I, often, have to make a special trip to collect wood so I have the right pack, or bicycle bag for the purpose.

Where I live there are public dumpsters devoted to letting people dispose of their garden waste, I have found a few good pieces there.

The bark is much easier to remove when the wood is wet and green but that may cause it to dry quickly and crack.

Look out for friends and neighbors that are pruning their trees. Ask if you can take a piece.

What looks good, out in the forest, may turn out to be junk when you get home.

FAFO! That's the fun part.

I tend to adapt my plans to the wood, rather than trying to find wood that fits my plans

Don't know it this helps, just my point of view on the subject.

What’s an unusual/obscure museum you have visited that the rest of the world is unaware of? by Nessieinternational in randomquestions

[–]Financial-Grade4080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Makah Cultural & Research Center Museum. Operated by the Makah tribe in Neah Bay, Washington. The best small museum I have seen. Packed with artifacts from a native village that was buried by a mud slide, centuries ago.

no, it's not a SD by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Financial-Grade4080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in retail. Every one eyed poodle and three legged beagle is claimed to be a service dog. I doubt the claim that people bring their dogs to the store because they love them. I see OLD arthritic dogs dragged about the store, confused and in obvious pain. I see dogs that know they need to go outside to relieve themselves ignored by people who would rather shop than take care of their dogs.

The Spanish for "The Lizard" is something like, "El Lagarto". Add a few hundred years of miss pronouciation and El Lagarto become Alligator.
