@roz Thank you!

If you stop serving food 30 minutes before you close, you really need to put that somewhere on your website. Not accept orders 20 minutes before you close and then call me 15 minutes later to tell me you're cancelling my damned dinner because you won't have time to make it.

@sparks I get “superstitious” like this. I have a bottle of Stewart’s Root Beer in my fridge that has come with me from our old place to our new place and somewhere in the back of my head I must think, if I drink this now, I’m going to unleash all the bad luck in the world.

@mietze I dread this. Kiddo will be going to preschool next September for the first time

Today, I hit the snooze button on my alarm -- accidentally. With my face.

So, universe. It's going to be that kind of day, huh?

Yes

Hey, Austin, I was told the cold front would drop us to around 60F (15.5C). NOT 40F (4.4C).

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

Arkandel

@auspice Aww, too bad, so sad.

I lost my water bottle.

It was relatively new.

I thought I left it at work on Sunday.
It must have slipped out of my bag on the bus and I didn't notice.

Guess it's a good thing work gave me an Amazon gift card for the OT I worked last month. Was gonna use it towards new shoes (mine are developing holes), but new water bottle it is.

Inspirational wall decals. Why? Just ... why?

I'll be browsing through real estate photos on Redfin and whenever I come across a photo of some room with script font plastered across a wall saying something to the effect of 'Home is where the heart is', my eye gets twitchy for at least an hour.

(Alright, I am being dramatic but come on...)

@sockmonkey
Found one for my house.

Someone apparently went through a great deal of trouble to hack into the World of Warcraft account that I haven't used since 2012 and set things up via whatever means it would take for them to go and apparently abuse the economy and get the account banned.

I mean, I don't know whether to be mildly worried that someone got into the account, or mildly impressed at the sheer level of work I imagine it would take to get that beast up to date. I haven't updated anything on it since the Panda thing was a thing.

Still, I changed all the passwords to all the things to be safe, and was going to submit a ticket until Blizzard was like 'Lol no take a picture of your ID and send it to us.'

Hahahahaha no. If they want the account that badly, they can have it. I give props to you, bad actor, and leave this Battletag in your midly obsessive hands, since I was never going to use it again anyway. Cheers, bad actors! You win this round!

Tinuviel

@derp What would a photo of your ID actually prove, anyway?

Derp

Apparently that I am the person whose name is on the account. Not worth it. If I get an itch or something, I'll make a new one. Or, you know, play something that I didn't find mildly unpleasant to begin with.

I've been taking Lyft/Uber/etc for a while. I've never had a weird/wtf experience until tonight.

Guy kept asking if I wanted him to just 'drive [me] around.'
Kept insisting I take his number.

Outright asked if I live alone at one point.

I almost went to a neighbor's door other than my own, but I don't know any of my neighbors, so it would've been an added layer of awkward. I just made sure to immediately lock my door as I got in and I was texting a friend the whole time.

But holyfuck.

Did you report said creepy behavior to the company? If not, you probably should.

I intend to, yes.

@auspice Also next time you use the app it should have a list of your past journeys and you can make a mental note of his details to avoid him in the future.
