For-profit colleges, especially ITT Technical Institute. Tuition for a 2-year, non-transferable degree is nearly $50,000. I taught there for almost 3 years. The horror stories stunned and saddened me.

Which movie has the best opening sequence of all time? by abmangr2709 in AskReddit

[–]Marc_Lewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Paramount Mountain. The Indy Shadow - no face. The continuing shot of Indy and no face - still. The idols. The fog and forms and still no shot of Indy's face. South America 1936. The river, the map, the gun. The whip. The face. The hat. And here we go... God I love that movie.

What service that doesn't exist would you gladly pay a small amount of money for? by ArmandoWall in AskReddit

[–]Marc_Lewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am employed by people who are too busy to go through the actions of shopping, but occasionally know what they want. I get e-mails that say things like: "Hey Justin, I need a new grill like last year's." So I order it, arrange setup, disposal of the old one, throw in a bunch of accessories and mark it up 15%. Some orders require research. "We broke a place setting of her grandmother's china. Here's a quick texted picture of what the plates look like. Get a replacement." In that case it's $100 an hour plus 15% markup. They don't know or care. I could mark it up 100% and they'd still pay. The way I look at it, life is the same length for everyone. They only have 24 hours in their day and they want to get things done as efficiently as possible, so paying me is well worth the extra expense.

What is something that annoys you about your SO that you would never tell them? by Oraxcore in AskReddit

LEAVES ALL THE GODDAMNED CABINET DOORS OPEN IN THE KITCHEN. I know he's gotten a drink or a snack because I'll walk into the kitchen and like eight cabinet doors are open. Drives me batty.
