Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

What do people do with washing outside on the line when it rains?

If ours is out and rains I'm up and down fetching it in, but neighbours both sides leave it out. Often they will leave it out overnight too which I'd never do.

Just seems like creating work letting it get wet, surely can't be clean.
 
Earlier today I saw something that left me scratching my head. I was in my local supermarket parking lot, looking for a parking space, when I saw the driver of a parked SUV get out of his vehicle and close the door -- with the vehicle's white backup lights on. No other lights, just those. Half a minute later I looped around again and the vehicle's backup lights were off. I've always assumed that white backup lights come on only when the ignition is switched on and the transmission is in reverse gear. So what gives? Is this some weird modern car thing?
 
I recently opened an account with a bank that I hadn't done business with previously.

Apparently, they've got a weird promotion on right now: transfer in $25,000 and get a free set of AirPods.

Sir, if I had $25,000 lying around, I could probably buy my own AirPods.

Uuum for that money you could buy a small crate of them for you and friends
 
I started to brush my teeth last night when I noticed that I had what looked like a dark bruise on the side of my tongue. It didn't hurt, but I figured that maybe I bit my tongue while sleeping, because I didn't remember doing that. Usually it hurts a lot when I bite my tongue, so who knows?

Off to the doctor you should go. Anything like that should be looked at I think

There can be many causes --foods, meds, injury, infection, or more serious diseases. You should mention it to your doctor if it lasts more than a few days.
 
This post may be understandable by followers of cricket only...but I've just been amused by an advert tagline "Kookaburra balls - next day delivery".


Now that really is slow bowling!
 
I've definitely angered the Mario Kart gods... playing Knockout Tour today, all I've done is experience bad luck. I swear Mario Kart is 90 percent item fortune, 10 percent actual skill.

A lot of people throw common sense out the window when it comes to "free" giveaways. Remember when toasters were the fad?

Why do people laugh at terrible $150 TVs they wouldn't be caught dead owning, but then fight people to the death to buy it for $99 on Black Friday?

What makes this even crazier is that most of the Black Friday deals are actually no better than the deals throughout the year. We've been conditioned to see a deal where there isn't one.

Ever see an item at the store with an "as advertised" sign? Not on sale, because it's not, but the price is the same as what's in the ad!

I get to experience both sides of this, working in sales. My employers will run Black Friday deals that I know aren't really that special, it's all about the marketing, and it works. In one sense, I should be pleased because it helps fill my coffers, but on the other hand, it speaks to a world gone mad, and capitalism run amok.

I'm not a follower of cricket but I do find the ad funny.

FOMO It's quite literally that, the fear of missing out even though in hindsight it's not worth it. That same TV they were shitting on a week before that sale is now something other people want so they must have it before the others.

Humans are really funny like that. I stood on the sidelines in a jewelry shop the other day and watched as two women had it out over a ring that was on display, and while they were not physically fighting they were swearing at each other till the lady called the store security as there were other customers coming into the shop and and then walking out again at the same time once they saw the scene going on.
