Small businesses love when customers pay cash (the ones who accept cash) but it is hard when customers try to break a $50 or worse, $100, on a purchase under $10.

Dear podcasters: I wish you wouldn't put on an affected voice or overenunciate your words. Is there a technological reason for doing this?

Driver B: looks up from phone long enough to wonder why Driver A isn't moving, thinks Driver A must be looking at phone, honks.

Ever have a day when all you really want at the end of it is for someone else to wash your hair?

Oh. My. God.

Good thing there's no other news to report on so we can really focus on these important issues, right?

Some of the comments (thankfully far from the majority) are off the fucking chain. People who justify behaviour like this driver's, should have their license revoked.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

She was well into it. People who justify behaviour like this driver's, should have their license revoked.

Can you? Can you really? "Understand the driver's ire"? I'm glad I'm not this girl's mother. If you have a driver's license, you shouldn't. That is not what happened here. She was well into the crosswalk. What an asshole comment.

The teenager is less likely to know what to do, especially after having been hit. If the driver is yelling at her, she is not going to try to insist he remain. The onus is 100% on the driver here.

The only people mad about speed cameras are the people who get busted by speed cameras.

Wasn't there a certain English prime minister who thought he had a positive relationship with a certain dictator, who came away from a certain meeting with said dictator waving a document that proclaimed "peace in our time?"

I've definitely watched games since 1993 but I've watched 0 games this season. Regardless, I too am an expert

"Proceeded to" when that is often unnecessary.
"I told the driver she hit me and she proceeded to tell me to fuck off."

This is very scant on details. What charges? What were the circumstances that conclusively determined fault?

Perhaps it joined a label I made yesterday that has since entirely vanished

I've wrapped green tomatoes in newspaper and kept them in the basement, and I had fresh garden tomatoes in January. It's fantastic

If it's acceptable for people to listen to video without headphones in public, maybe it's acceptable for me to start reading my book out loud

Interesting discussion I had yesterday about people complaining about a business having "no parking" when there's a parking lot right across the street, when these same people will park at the back of a lot and walk to the store they need.
