Random Fail: First World Problems

Is this a typo? Theres a 2$ US bill?

Yup, not very common though.

It's the go to currency for Chinese New Year money gifts. At least I'm told. I even went to a bank once to get some $2 bills. The teller was having such a hard time counting that withdrawal that we could only laugh about it.

[Aksannyi]

I've heard stories of dumb retail clerks not knowing that $2 bills were legit currency.

Every time we go to the Dominican Republic I bring a stack of 2's because they fucking love them. I kid you not.

WTF kind of teller can't count by 2's?

[NynJa]

American ones

I had no idea there was a $2 bill in the states lol

Ya know, the ones that count by $20, $10, and $5 usually. Plus it was at the end getting to "x80... x90-oops, x82 [long pause] 84...... errr, 86..." I mean, it's rare as is asking for a grip of $2's and they have to scour the other registers and even the back counting room to even find any.

aluminum recycling places in both wisconsin and minnesota have always been my source for $2 bills. My grandpa would always mail me any $2 bills he got. I still have them all. They're my emergency money.

Funny story about $2 bills. Our boss sent in our weekend change order for work (we get a loan from the bank to use over the weekend). Instead of putting in $3500 in fives, he ordered it in $2 bills. Armored driver said he had never seen so many $2 bills at once before.

Have heard that in some places, they are becoming popular in strip clubs. Theory being the dancers will make more money when customers break big bills.

My 1yr old niece basically lives with us, and she has had a runny nose lately. I woke up this morning with a clogged up nostril, and a scratchy throat. We have some of the NyQuil/DayQuil pills, and thinking nothing of it took the NyQuil instead of the DayQuil since i didnt want to open a new pack and it normally doesnt do much to me. I probably should not have taken it on an empty stomach. I am now at work ready to fall asleep, I have drank 1 24oz can of the Monster Absolute zero to no avail. Time for another one.

My wife deals with this at work and it's frustrating to hear how she gets taken advantage of simply because she is very fast at finishing all of her work. She's a Project Manager and her job is pretty much chasing clients around. I've told her to be more assertive at her job but she's afraid of any sort of retaliation from her peers, so she just takes it.

My internet just went out on a Sunny Saturday morning. Of course I was in a FFXIV dungeon at the time. Fucking Comcast.

[Astylla]

As much as I hate comcast I hate to admit our service is rarely out. However their wifi modem sucks ass.

This might come off like as a rant, but JFC this has gone way too far....

So.... my older brother really loves this game called "Birds of Steel". Over the last 9 months(or was it a year w/e), hes been throwing a tantrum over this game saying "Hackers at Sony are fucking with my online game" and has made a 2nd PSN account, deleted everything off his ps3, and did multiple forced resets to avoid this. I already pointed out to him that he SHOULD be playing either wired-in, OR just offline, but that goes straight through him and he continues to rage over this and makes me watch him play online. So I watched him play and saw him just fly around doing nothing against the AI and ONLY the AI till time ran out..... I've also pointed out to him he can just find another flight simulator game, but he just tells me to leave and as soon as I leave, I hear him doing the forced reset again.

tl;dr: Hes bad @ video games and won't take advice

So those who are into flight simulator games, do you have ANY recommendations that I can try to pass to him?(98% chance hes gonna ignore it anyway)

Edit: Hes playing online off the wi-fi...kinda forgot about saying that ><

[BaneTheBrawler]

so what is he angry about?

[Ratatapa]

Since he talks about wiring, i'm guessing lag issue?

[Cantih]

Idk if it's the same thing, but with my PS3, if I played with the controller in wireless mode, every so often the input would cut out, and the game would just keep doing whatever buttons I was pressing for a few seconds when it cut out.
This caused a Dynamis-Windurst death house aggro wipe once. After that, it was always play with the cord plugged in.

Also, it sounds like his brother sucks at the game, and is stupid, and gets angry about it.

Dude Birds of Steel is awesome. But not as a fucking flight sim lol. It was the precursor to War Thunder, which I play the shit out of. Just do everyone a favor and pull out the hard drive and tell him the hackers got him.

Gotta take a dump but I'm super comfortable and don't wanna get up. FUCK
