Title: 3 Stupid Things
Post by: hammerdrill376 on October 19, 2009, 06:06:05 PM
Thought this might be fun just to see what you can come up with. What are three totally STUPID things you can think of? Politics of course is off limits. Here were some I thought of.

1. Glow in the dark condoms
2. Printed toilet paper
3. A warning label on Preparation H.

2.  Oversized exhaust tips on cars and trucks..
3.  On construction sites-- The porta pottys always have a tray of mints on the wall..

I don't have to use parking garages very often so that really hasn't made much of an impression on me.

hmmm...just 3?  Ok..well I will try to narrow it down to the Top 3...

1)  On Fridays when I get paid, I have to walk into ( or drive up) the bank.  CASH my check and then turn around and deposit it into my checking account.  Apparently, if I just walk in and tell them to deposit my check into my checking account, it will not post until the next business day...which is Monday. BUT...if I cash it first..then deposit, it will be in there that day.  STUPID!

2)  Why is it when we mail ( yes i know...snail mail) a letter or any correspondence to someone here within my city, It has to actually go 90 miles north of here to a processing center and then travels back to be put in the mailbox of the reciever one block down?

3)people who stand outside the store front peering in at me while I am sitting here and then open the door and ask....are you open?  NO...im just sitting here for the hell of it.  Believe me this has happened to me several times.  Lights are on, sign in the window ( Bright Orange lights) that says OPEN!  No we arent open...

Tyler...............


That was meant for like businesses that would send out a statement or billings.  We use to have it all processed here in Washington, we have a facility big enough to do it...they just choose to have it all sent 90 miles away to be processed.  In the past you could mail something and you couldget it the next day...now it takes 2-3 days

but it has to be processed Razor.  you can not put a stamp on it and then go and place it in the mailbox.

Since when can you not put a stamp on a letter and put it in a mailbox?   ???  I thought the only restriction was if it were a package over a certain size or weight, in which case you had to take it to the post office. 

I realize it still has to be processed -- after the mailman picks it up from the mailbox.  Or am I missing something here?
Title: Re: 3 Stupid Things
Post by: Timmay on October 22, 2009, 12:07:26 PM
You can put it in your own mailbox for the postman to pick up and send it off to be processed..but you can not put a stamp on an envelope and take it to where you wanted it to be sent and place it in their mailbox.

I think that is where the confussion is at....

lol..a friend of mine delivers mail and she said you wouldnt believe the things people do.  One day she said that someone had put mail in their mail box for her to pick up and take back to the office to be processed.  Well that was fine and dandy she said but you do not tape 42cents to the envelope for us to buy you a stamp LOL

no no no Razor.  I am talking about if i want to send a letter to a business across the street.  We have a postal center about 2 blocks from here.  I would have to go and take it to the post office...they in turn send it to a processing center 90 miles away ( Terre Haute IN..to be exact) and then they send it back to our postal center to be delivered.  Thats what I am talking about..lol

Everywhere I've lived the post office has had a special "local mail only" slot where you can put mail going to the same ZIP code where the post office is located (or even neighboring code areas, depending -- you have to ask), to avoid having such mail go to the regional processing center.

How about people who buy a LCD or plasma but don't buy HD programming and return it because they were expecting a miracle. Or people who buy an LCD or plasma, but get a 720p because it's cheaper but don't get the same resolution their buddy has because he has 1080p and return theirs too.

3) Radio stations that start playing Christmas music on the 1st day of November.  (They should be shut down if they   start before the day after Thanksgiving)


I also don't get the blowing yourself up for 72 virgins...I can find 72 virgins right here on earth and I don't have to blow myself up to get them.  Whats left after the 72 are no longer virgins????  And whats more, what the hell are you going to do with 72 virgins, your a splattered mess of pulp....

THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE!

2) The disclaimers on pharmaceuticals. For example, one of the potential side effects of certain sleep meds is drowsiness. Duh, ya think?

3) The 72 virgins thing, again, but for a different reason. How long does this bomber dude think that "paradise" is gonna last after 72 ex-virgins all start bitching at him simultaneously about not taking out the garbage.

Ill be the devils advocate here. I totally agree with you, but you cant blame the TSA for patting down kids for stuff. You know as well as I do that there are some sick lowlife bastard SOBs (sorry MODs. no other way to put it) that use their kids as mules. Its sad that it has to be done, but better they find stuff on the kid and get them out of that situation then to just let it go.  :(
