I work for the gas company. (This is really for my Oklahoma brahs, but your company might work like this too).

When it's cold outside, the best thing to do is keep your thermostat at 68 or below. Each degree above 68 degrees is a 3% increase per degree, so if you're a cold natured person and you're skyrocketing your themostsat, expect a high bill.

That's actually to help you, so be aware......

If you go to a mom & pop grocery store and most of the workers are young kids, chances are they've done some ****ed up **** to the food at one point or another.

Generally speaking, the people you entrust your children's education to are complete idiots who should never have graduated college. The ones who teach younger kids are glorified babysitters and the ones who teach older kids generally know less about their subject of interest than most college kids.

As a back-shop boy for 3 years at a high end golf course; make sure you tip us at least 2 bucks if you want the best service possible. 5 bucks tip and we will actually go out of our way to do things for you. We clean your clubs and carry your heavy ass bags around and set up your cart, so for god sakes at LEAST be nice. Oh and if you bring a good looking girl to the golf course with you, you best know that all the back-shop guys are eying her down and talking about her/ the things they would do lol.

Contrary to popular belief, in the nuclear world, going supercritical is NOT a bad thing.

Here is the walmart link for AT&T phones and plans. almost everything is free, with waived activation, and bill credits on some. http://walmart.letstalk.com/product/...viceCorpId=596

Whoa, whoa whoa, what is this?

Are you saying all this is free for AT&T customers?

Can I get like 4 phones and they are all free?

What's the catch brah?

yeah you can probably get 4 free phones, but you'll also have 4 1-2 year contracts to pay for

i'm guessing you have to sign a 2-year contract...but buying them from wal-mart prevents you from paying some of the fees you'd pay if you purchased the same phone from at&t.

No catch. Same thing as signing up through AT&T, same plans, 2 yr. agreement. They are just a authorized dealer for AT&T, and sell their stuff for nothing. I used to have customers come in all the time and say "why should I buy the phone here, when I can get it at walmart for free", and I stood there in silence with no comeback.

Does require new 2 yr. agreement, just like the AT&T store requires a 2 yr. agreement.

Most people that work at the State Capital are addicted to their job and will work 14+ hour days just because it is their passion.

Draft beers are FULL of bacteria.

Tap lines are supposed to be cleaned regularly, but rarely are. Even if they are cleaned properly the bacteria and nasty schmegma build up very quickly.

You should see the stuff that comes out of a tap line when its cleaned.

Damn, all I usually order is draft beer. Thats pretty sick.

I worked at Mcdonalds. There is a phone number on the cups and bags for customer service and if you call and complain about an employee at the store or something theyll give you a free meal and that employee might hear from the manager (definitely if he gets more then 2 or 3 complaints)

If you call the store and complain and about cold or missing food they might give you a free meal too often with no proof required.

I think it might depend on whether the store is privately or corporately owned. You can usually tell if a place is clean and well kept and they care about customer service etc.

Friend's in pharm school. Be prepare for chem/math even when you get in.

I quit drinking drafts because of this.

The stuff that comes out looks like snot, but worse.

And while we are at this question --- at what point as an employee would you take a bullet for your employer in retail business?

In retail, NEVER. But as a member of the military, it could happen.

Kids who get expelled for felonies on campus don't get thrown out of school. They get pushed through the system faster to keep graduation rates up.

most cooks at applebees are coming down from heroin or at least very blazed out of their mind.

3rd most drug addicted job is cooking/chef brah.

Gas leak detector you use on freshly laid gas pipe is usually just watered down detergent. Fireplace glass is ceramic and very expensive, using windex on it ruins it.

Contractor houses are usually built like ****. I've seen brand new 300,000$ houses with no tar paper on the roof. They charge ridiculous amounts of money for any extra requests. I've witnessed charges as high as 150$ to run 20Ft of copper gas line with no fittings.

There is enough food to FILL the food banks that is thrown out everyday.

ie. a pallet of canned soup falls over. It's cheaper for them to just toss out the all of it, than to sort and clean the closed cans and donate them.

I'm one of those people that feels bad when food is disposed of.

how often does this go on? seriously.

i have quite a few nursing friends, even a handful of anesthetists and have asked them the same thing.. want to hear what you got.

have also heard of nurses going as far as taking pics --- i think there was a national news story about a guy with tatoo on his d!ck and they took pics, and those pics were sent around and sh!t got real..

I don't really know any nurses, but last time I was at the doctor's office, I heard a nurse whispering something about a guy down the hall and the nurse she whispered it to perked up and she was all like "Really? I'm going to check him out!" Of course, this made me feel like a tard since they were doing this right in front of me...
