All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

Same can be said here....My emphasis was on the word "opinion" in the previous post though

You're new, so I forgive any ignorance. You don't know me or many of the regular SCers; many of us have a history of which you are blissfully unaware.

Don't you mean a man...

You do realize that some folks lead a non-traditional lifestyle?

I mean how many have you experienced that do this?

Not everyone likes to kiss and tell.

I can assure you that there are many women just as guilty,

No doubt. (it's not something I've experienced)

worse when they allow their stinky cat / dog to take up room (not that I'll ever sign up for pets in a relationship)

Might I suggest you be a good SO and offer to bathe the critter if you object to any smells? And I can assure you that not all critters have a scent. I've had folks come to my teeny studio apt and not know I have a cat until he makes his presence known. The dog opens the door to anyone, so no surprises there.

Greedy people who seem to think they are entitled to an inheritance.

Well...it's not just "inheritance" now is it? Add to this Govt benefits, spousal support, etc

Ca o worm you opened there mate

Greedy people who seem to think they are entitled to an inheritance.

- My bad....Yes, it is the 21st century after all

- People that have cats and dogs, tend not to be able to pick up smell, so am not surprised to hear this. I mean thin body odour (BO) when someone has this, and you get the gist.

I don't all that Dr Do-Little malarky

This is a first world rant, but Walmart is so freaking wasteful, it drives me crazy. I ordered a board game for dd for her birthday, the game itself was about a foot long(fits into a small diaper box, with lots of room for stuffing). They ship it in a 4 1/2 foot box and fill the extra space with over 60 feet of the inflated plastic wrap stuff. Why not ship it in a smaller box and use less plastic wrap so I'm not filling a garbage bag with it after I spent 10 minutes trying to pop it so it would fit? Or at the very least fill the box with paper that can be recycled.

ahh but i have to be awake and sober for picking her up at 2:54pm... well a tad earlier because today i'm bringing cupcakes for the class.. why because my kid wanted to bake cupcakes for the first full day back to school (and i've got a new oven to figure out) they all have the number 2 written on them (she's going into grade 2) though technically she's in a 2/3 split

I've placed a lot of orders through Walmart.ca and that is pretty much standard. So think about the waste you had to deal with and then multiply it by.....? Ugh! I have had orders split into as many as 5 shipments. I mean I appreciate that if part of the order is ready to go and it gets shipped right away while they wait for the rest of the stock to get in. But these packages were only at the most a two days apart.....and yes, I am very familiar with those plastic air pillows they use!

Really makes you think about their system and the fact that they discontinued the free shipping this Spring. They could afford to continue to offer that as a customer incentive if they had someone in shipping that didn't have their head up their ass.

I LOVE the way you think!

It's most cost effective for them to have a limited selection of box sizes determined by max dimensions for any given class of parcel sent via CP. Trust me, some B-school guy has already sat down and figured this out and has provided you with the "best solution"

LOL! So it makes perfect sense to B-schoolers to split up a customers order and pack one bag of chips in a large box of its own and then fill the box with padding only to ship off the socks and shorts in another shipment. LOL Yeah, they've got it down to a science.
