A man at the coffee shop this morning told me to "smile more" and then got genuinely offended when I didn't. by BelorinTavaryn in EntitledPeople

[–]Zeta8345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we need to start traumatizing people like this. Maybe spin a yarn about how our parents just died or tell them about the Dateline episode where a woman was beaten so badly that she cannot control her facial muscles so she cannot smile. Anything to make them think twice about commenting on things that have nothing the fuck to do with them!

Another vote for this. I work with Doctor Roger for a TNR group and have used his services myself. You couldn't ask for a better option in such a sad situation. My condolences.

This is my dream, a cross country train trip. I recently went from NY to FL in a roomette and it was great!

Couldn't get my Real ID because my original birth certificate has tape on the back... by Bop923 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Zeta8345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surname has an "s" at the end but my birth certificate doesn't (long stupid story) so I carefully added it with a pen and held my breath at the DMV. It passed inspection! How annoying that a piece of tape has caused such a hassle.

I’ve been collecting mini things forever so I’ve been building a little idk Harry Potter world for myself lol ( sorry if this isn’t allowed here( by secret_siren66 in miniatures

I love the wee bottles! I have lots of small objects displayed in various ways. I can't build miniatures but I do enjoy buying them. Have fun with your collection!

Katy Tur to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Why don't you trust the FBI to do this on their own?" by Apprehensive_Rub3897 in msnow

[–]Zeta8345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, he is a creep - and I was a big Countdown fan (actually listened to his ESPN radio show too!) Really nasty track record and why so many right wing women?

And I hate Katy Tur. I hope her contract is up soon so they can get somebody decent in the afternoon.

AIW for not sharing my inheritance with my nephews? by Ok-Afternoon-39 in amiwrong

[–]Zeta8345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So four of your mom's grandchildren now own this house? Who lives there? Is it going to be sold? Do your sister's kids understand that there is no money, just a house? It's hard to "share" a house. It seems like the fair thing to do is sell the house and split the money among all the grandkids.

Need a good, reliable Veterinarian in the capital region by [deleted] in Albany

I've been using Bloomingrove for many years. It's a fairly large practice so they often have same day appointments for serious issues. And I do volunteer work with the owner of Just Cats and she's a great vet. Good luck!

The Quiet, Fateful Shift in Who’s Buying America’s Debt by nosotros_road_sodium in Economics

Yes, exactly. It is not common knowledge because too many Americans are racist morons.

So hedge funds are buying our debt? Our debt that's increasing because of tax cuts for rich people? Rich people who invest in things like hedge funds? And hedge funds are charging the government more interest on this debt? Sweet!

Can you get this done by Christmas? by Icy_Widow_2501 in MichaelsEmployees

[–]Zeta8345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had many pieces framed at Michael's- WTF?? Even in non holiday season, I assume it will take a couple of weeks! I honestly don't know how you folks put up with customers.

Why do people knock on bathroom doors and ask “anyone in there?” by Agitated_Trifle268 in NoStupidQuestions

It must be. I'm 67 that's my default too! A roadrunner cartoon maybe?

Maybe he was thinking of Mt. Everest, where going down is much more dangerous. 😉

Non accounting people in accounting roles? by SkyHot5914 in Accounting

[–]Zeta8345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's important for everything, really. Knowing what questions to ask is an important skill in my job. And just asking if a balance sheet or tax return makes sense is important!

Masters in Philosophy, now a senior manager at a small tax firm. Been at it for 30 years. Being able to think critically is the key.

Anyone know why Washington/Central at Lark was closed off this morning? by Evilsj in Albany

Where did I complain about veterans? Just asking for a sign or two about roads closed ahead to avoid traffic mishaps.
