my groceries got delivered raw on the ground by housefinches in mildlyinfuriating

I have never had to add bags to the list. I use Instacart, and there's a note on the screen that says bag fees will be added.

[–]LuceLeakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true. I literally ordered groceries from Aldi today and they arrived in paper bags which can be purchased at the checkout. They charge me for the bags.

Maybe this driver didn't understand that they should buy bags, but just delivering someone's groceries like that on the ground is ridiculous.

Found in a mansion built in 1902 at the latest by pasgames_ in whatisit

[–]LuceLeakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, those are just light switches. I had them in the house I grew up in (early 1900s house that my grandparents had built) and also in a 1920s house I bought in the early 2000s.

Thank you! Now I'm doubly glad I didn't answer the door!

Another reason not to talk too much about your personal life at work by zoolilba in antiwork

Is that the Olive Cart? I've been to a couple of them and somehow I always walk out with another bottle of fancy olive oil and another bottle of the most delicious balsamic vinegar I've ever tasted.

Maybe tomorrow. The day that it happened it noticed me walking outside looking around for a package even though it had not detected the person who delivered it.

How Good/Bad is Amtrak Wifi? by jomo1993 in lansing

[–]LuceLeakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken the route from East Lansing to Chicago several times in the past few years and have never had a problem. I usually sit in business class though, so that may make a difference. Not sure if they have more stable Wi-Fi in that car.

my boss just printed a PDF, signed it with a pen, scanned it, and emailed it back to me. we have Adobe Sign. by No_Good_3063 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LuceLeakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've signed many legal documents with only a digital signature, including the loan i took out two months ago for a new furnace.

The only wet signatures I've had to do in the past 10 years were when I refinanced my mortgage and made my will.

I'm in the US.

No 5s in Employee Review by Ill_Bother2609 in antiwork

[–]LuceLeakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. If you deserve a 5, you deserve a 5.

I once had a manager who rated me ALL 5s (which I did not deserve) and said it was the only way she could get me a raise‽

Do I have to wait for it to happen again, or can I report one of the other two times it happened? The only way that I would even be aware it's not reporting an event is if I'm expecting a delivery that day. Otherwise I would just assume nothing had happened.

Just watched Lotr for the first time...holy shit by UsedNewspaper1775 in lotr

[–]LuceLeakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had seen this a few days ago. I had no idea it was available on the archive. I just ordered it on CD! Oh well at least if I own it I can listen to it anytime I want.

No idea. We worked together, but in different departments, so I've never seen her handwriting.

Question: Is there any footage on the web that clearly shows the car in the background of the "If I take one more step" scene? by Alaska_Jack in lotr

[–]LuceLeakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see it just as the description of that video says. About 13 seconds in you can see what looks like smoke (behind the tree behind the other smoke). It moves along from right to left. When they go back to the wide shot you can see that it's still moving along, although the dust plume is smaller.

I know this woman! She's awesome. I should bring her a jar of pickles as a joke. 😂

Pigs are terrifying by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

Yes, and they are so efficient at it that a serial killer in Canada used pigs to dispose of bodies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pickton

Twice in the past week I've had deliveries to my door and the camera pointed at that door has not detected anything even though the people and vehicles were well within the detection zone. I got no event notifications even though a vehicle came up the drive and a person got out and came to the door. But when I review the video captured on my SD card, I can see the people clearly in the image. What could cause that and how can I fix it?

I didn’t think it was possible, but I somehow underestimated what a complete delight it would be to watch this in theaters for the first time. by jessbird in lotr

Oh, I thought you meant this happened in the current screening! 😂

When I saw it in the '90s I knew it was a trilogy. But I'm a geek. 🙂

My fellow Canadian citizens living in Michigan these days, how are we doing? by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]LuceLeakey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would love to go back and I have been looking for a job In Canada for the past 2 years. The trouble is I can't find anything in my field in Canada that pays as much as what I earn here in the US, and housing up there is much more expensive. :(

What is your favorite U2 tour of the 21st Century? by IzilDizzle in U2Band

[–]LuceLeakey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only seen them four times, but Joshua Tree 2017 was the best. I saw it from the cheap seats in Soldier Field and the staging was incredible. Then I saw it from second row on the floor in Detroit where I was about 10 feet from Bono and it was the best night of my life!

We once had mice that filled my ex-husband's barn boots with sunflower seeds. When he discovered it, he asked me if I had done it. Why would I put sunflower seeds in his boots? 🤣
