More Random Thoughts

Somewhere out there is a gorgeous black-belt with a huge dick and a high-paying job and a supermodel wife. And nobody on the internet believes him.
 
Perfect drying day from sheets on the line. Crisp fresh sheets on the bed is a treat. l wish l had the time l would do it everyday.
 
Being fined for public indecency is like the opposite of being a stripper: you start with no clothes on, some people force you to put them back on, and then take your money.
 
The phrase "Don't search that" has a near-100% failure rate because it triggers our morbid curiosity and inherent dislike of being told what to do at the same time, and searching for something online takes little effort.
 
My spreadsheet on Lit relationships/friendships/beefs is in sore need of updating. Can anyone help in less than 500 words?
 
I excel at posting in a thread at the same time as someone else...so I am skipped frequently and suffer the indignity of being pushed back to the previous page....it's a gift, I tell you...
 
Sending somebody a phone number and putting the '1' in front of it is akin to giving someone directions that start with "Open your car door and get in".

You're giving people far, far too much credit. I work in an industry where we take phone numbers regularly, as well as addresses. Try asking people for a phone number, with area code and you'll see exactly why people do what you're describing.

I get ZIP or postal codes all day long. Or they'll repeat the first three digits twice. Or they use a cell phone and seem legitimately unaware of what their phone number even is. It's not supposed to be a stumper of a question. Hell, it isn't just customers. I have had to explain what an area code is, or that you need to dial '1' before using one to multiple, adult coworkers over the years. We have three major area codes in our local area, I don't know how this has eluded people, but it has.

Though none of it compares to the people who contact us, a delivery service, but don't know their address. And who will, on rare occassion, just straight up make something up rather than admit it. Which you can usually pick out given experience, and try to clear up. But that doesn't help new people.
