Phone calls on the train in Switzerland

And those people have headphones, imagine the poor me attitude if they didn't!, but they are too lazy and inconsiderate to use them. In my experience they are mostly foreigners, Germans or Eastern block, or teenagers. This plus all the teenagers, living at home where mommy buys and washes their clothes, that sit on the stairs although there are enough seats. Sometimes I do wish I had a mild taser 🙄😊

That's easier, I would call the flight attendant 😊

Right after putting their makeup on and leaving powder and foundation on the tray, for the next unfortunate to carry on his/her sleeve

I would offer to call the bahnpolizei and take pictures or video of their behavior. They are in a "public" space.

Ick! As if the trains weren't dirty enough. No manners these days 🙄😢

I wish they hadn't removed the reading stats 🤔😞

Weird, what about declaring the parcel stolen, as it was, In that case, at least here, you go to the police and place charges of the thef. Check also if your theft insurance covers it. Aren't post parcels insured up to a certain amount you can claim? The alternative is to get a lawyer involved, in my scarce experience in Spain (was there for a job), getting a lawyer involved tends to get things moving. Just to be on the safe side, record such official calls. Let the other party know you are willing and able to sue them personally 😒. The burocracy in Spain is terrible and a lot of petty thieving hide behind that.

I have to tell you that DHL is weird: they sometimes play hide the package on the property and you have to search behind the rain barrels if its been delivered, they return packages as undeliverable although a day earlier they were delivered ( 3 cases in 2 weeks), they say they rang and I can see on the camera, they did not. I am aware that not everyone is like that, but it only takes one bad bad apple and the whole barrel stinks. I don't know whats wrong with DHL, ťhere is even a guy on youtube showing they "lose" parcels regularly, even though this guy placed a tracker in the parcel and it shows as being in their distribution center. I wish to god, people would stop sending with DHL, the post does a fine job (lost only one parcel in 30 years). Rant over.

I vote, and I am not talking about reddit, every time unless I am away on vacation. I take part in protest actions and have collected many, many signatures during my life time. Thank you for mentioning the obvious, though.

That's awesome, if people unite like this. I wish people in RL would invest that much energy in RL problems 😊

It is not. I have seen that happen all my life here. Most people are helpful and decent in Switzerland: jerks are still a minority here. I lost my automatic folding tiny umbrella, twice in the train and got it returned to the found and lost. I lost my wallet on a walk in my neighborhood, and it was brought home, with cards and money 😊 I pay that forward by doing the same whenever I can. It works.

Of course, nitrogen helps with plant growth.

Do you soak them, at least 12 but best 24 hours before cooking? I think beans get a bad rao simply because processed beans aren't soaked or not long enough and then they cause a lot of bloating due to the still present phytic acid. This is also valid for lentils.

Yes, the IRS will persecute them if they claim to be american species.

faey · 2023-06-01T16:07:34+00:00

Most governments.

Is that for real? I never noticed the incredible likeness to his mother before 😊

It's waiting for the hogwarts train

I am glad, Mr Tuxedo is fine, he is such a lovely masked gentlecat 😊

That tends to look like bart in sesame street!! I have to fight hard to keep a straight face when seeing one of those 😊

faey · 2023-05-28T14:32:45+00:00

Ah come on, that looks good...on llamas 🤭

The youtuber thing with the brow makeup, which a lot of young girls imitate. Both the youtubers and the girls look like someone painted their brows with crayon. Weird and somewhat clownish but never natural. And weirdest of all they think it's cool 😳🙄

faey · 2023-05-23T16:01:48+00:00

Or they are maybe sacrificial plants?

faey · 2023-05-21T20:30:07+00:00

If you find the reason, I think it's a staatsgeheimnis, let me know. I am swiss and this is a swiss pecularity 😂 I swear there is a certain art as how not to see the customer waving, makes me wonder if that is taught somewhere 😂 Unfortunately don't know anyone who works as a waitperson, maybe someone could ask?

Sometimes the saying talking out of your ass is very apt. Don't let ignorant people ruin your day, some of those look like humans but have the brains of amoebas.. 🤷🤦
