Because most the people I work with don't think ahead or think it's too "cluttered ", and even half the emails they don't read or respond to so I end up doing it anyway. And don't get me started on their lack of technology experience. Our network was down a few times and managers asked us to try a different browser..just..sigh.

And I fucking hate people who answer their phone to a non familiar number then proceed to say they can't talk or make up done BS excuse..THEN DON'T FUCKING ANSWER IT.

My favorite though is " I'm in a meeting" but I still answered a number I don't recognize because I'm an idiot. I actually had a guy answer his phone while getting a haircut..WTF is wrong with people.

Starting in a high gear isn't good for your cassette and will make you have to replace it much much earlier

Hmmm I hadn't thought about that. I'll try to remember to do that

Hell one time this guy sped up to cut me off and slam his breaks so he could make a turn (instead of waiting for me to pass the turn) and I had to slam my breaks just not to go into the back of him (this is actually common). I always spit on these cars

Yeah that's the worse when they can't actually make the turn at that speed but instead of ya know slowing down they sped up and then brake right in front of you. Last week had a guy do that... hell he wasn't even turning yet he just angled the car to get ready to and ya know completely block me. I yelled at him and he proceeded to follow me for half a mile. Spitting is a good idea though. Probably better than my idea of carrying caltrops to throw at their tires

I have emails dating back to 2006 when I created my current email.

Same, I can understand deleting regular emails though. Google is p good filtering out all the spam these days.

I delete worthless emails about base morale events or shit like that, but otherwise I still have emails saved from my time in boot camp.

For my personal email I delete random nonsense, but anything related to money gets saved forever.

I often have to call people for part of my job, and if they don't answer I always leave a detailed message. It NEVER fails, people never listen to their voice mail, and then they call back "Uhhhhh yeah somebody from this number called me. Who dis?" It's sometimes like that Dave Chappelle sketch "I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE PLAYIN' ON MY PHONE".

YOU understand my struggle. I make 100-150 outbound calls a day for 3 stores and hate the " I just missed a call from this number" shit.

We have a shared email at my job. Our supervisor loves to delete emails if they don't pertain to him directly. Nothing like having to constantly check the deleted folder to find the special directions for the group that is renting out a couple of theatres this weekend for Rogue One.

Fam, the game has changed and I don't think I am ready for it.

Oh they're great, but you also gotta try the Zebra cake nutty bars. They are god-like

Also, I got some pretty shocking news today on the toilet (nothing bad, but surprising/distracting)

For the first time ever, I legitimately outright forgot to wipe my ass. Didn't realize it until about 10 minutes later.

**Fondue** · 2016-12-13 07:26

How is that possible?

**Tokitoki** · 2016-12-13 08:15

I bought a new jacket for $225 because of the fail above... It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't just buy new snow pants a week ago for $200.

**Zetanio** · 2016-12-13 08:49

What jacket did you get?

**Tokitoki** · 2016-12-13 08:50

The one I posted above, the Vagabond.

Burton Vagabond Jacket

**Zetanio** · 2016-12-13 08:51

That link 404's.

**Zetanio** · 2016-12-13 08:52

I like that jacket though, pretty great price on it.

**Tokitoki** · 2016-12-13 08:52

I fixed the link. Apparently it sold out after I bought it so the link died or something.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2016-12-13 08:59

I wear one of these (dunno if that's the brand but that's the general style of coat)

http://www.saddleonline.com/Oilskin-...20group%20%231

over a plain old winter coat. works great. only my lower legs ever get cold unless i'm outside for hours on end.

also I only ever delete junkmail. anything else gets automatically sorted into folders, and I handle each folder as it comes. I have one for work, one for legos, one for account management for password resets and shit, etc.

**Tokitoki** · 2016-12-13 09:03

This one isn't as long. It's a snowboarding jacket (by Burton) so if it were that long it'd get in the way. It's Gore Tex with thermal layers and all that other BS.
