It used to be that we would have the local newspaper delivered to our house. The newspaper only comes three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The weekday paper is $3.00 and the Sunday paper is $5.00. The paper is wafer thin even on Sunday. We decided to not receive it any longer. The newspaper company decided to send us “complimentary” issues for free. This went on for around three months and they finally gave up when we showed no signs of re-subscribing. Five dollars for a paper with no coupons or a classified section was too much for us.
I hate it when they change product packaging and give you less for the same $$.
Thomas' English Muffins. The King Size are what the regular ones used to be and the regular ones are little two-bite wee things. When you have a two slot toaster this creates overhead. I'm a busy man and don't have the time to f**k around with muffins.
I just got back from the grocery store and I couldn't help but notice some of the ice cream makers have quietly turned their "pints" into 14 oz sizes.
It's damned annoying to have someone say they will be somewhere at a certain time and then they are ridiculously late and have all sorts of lame excuses to laugh their way through. The people who were supposed to show up here yesterday between noon and 2 arrived at 4:30. We were home doing stuff so it's not the end of the world but it does display a lack of concern for anyone else's time. At least what needed doing got done
I have had contractors show up a week later than they said they would. I had already paid half so I couldn't turn them away, which is what I wanted to do. If I had had a cushion to wait for my refund I would have turned them away. When I am meeting someone at a coffee shop or what ever I give them 15 minutes and leave if they have not contacted me to let me know they are running late. I am too old and intolerant for people who have not respect for other's times. If something comes up, call. We all have a pocket computer on us that has a phone.It's damned annoying to have someone say they will be somewhere at a certain time and then they are ridiculously late and have all sorts of lame excuses to laugh their way through.
