I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well.

I will think about that in lieu of the local election results which have my husband pretty depressed. It seems like everything happens in this world specifically to depress him. I don't like it either but I was too busy working at my regular job to be able to spend too much time campaiging for this thing.

Well, you want to know where your receipt is in case you have to bring something back...

This Too!

Another receipt pet peeve....happens to the best of us.

I never really noticed or minded until you mentioned this a few weeks ago, Denise, and now I notice and mind (just a little bit) every time. It happens a lot at the corner Walgreen's for me, and that's a place where people get curmudgeonly about their returns without receipts, so maybe the store has instituted a policy of forcing the clerk to ask such an awkward question every time so all parties present know where the receipt went. Or, maybe people are just dumb.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Walgreen's actually has a full-refund-if-they-don't-offer-your-receipt-back-at-time-of-purchase policy...

Mystery Halloween costume

This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out? Edit: Steve West figured it out, answer is in the comments. Go »

Greatcoat

So I am rather pleased to have bought what seems to be a US Air Force greatcoat for $12.50 at a thrift store... Darrell wants to be Jack Harkness for the convention or for Halloween and I can't say I blame him. Go »

I didn't like Brokeback Mountain

I know I'm a number of years too late to be talking about this, but I finally happened to see Brokeback Mountain and I have to say I didn't like it terribly much. Yes, I realize this is an extremely unpopular opinion to the point of being just plain wrong as an objective fact. Note, I do not have a problem with gay people or gay behavior. Go »

Sorry about that extra tall image

Sorry I screwed up the obsessions page with that tall image. But it is true, I have a new obsession. Gee... Go »

Narcissist

Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »

Stupid stuff

Well the most exciting thing to report is I've developed a crush on a TV character. I think this is a pretty clear sign that I need a life. It's not even a remotely original or interesting choice (besides being behind the times) and I don't actually like bad boys dammit :P Go »
