I work in a grocery store doing price change, which is anything related to the prices of things or the labels on the shelf.
On Halloween my boss decided to put all the candy on for half off. I changed all the prices and printed out new labels.
The labels had the item description and the original price on top, and on the big yellow dangly part of the label it had the new price in big numbers. If you squinted, just above the new price it said 'Manager's Special'.
As I was hanging the new labels a very concerned looking customer approached me.
"Excuse me," she said, pointing to the small bit of text. "Is this price only for your managers?"
Why yes, miss. Our new advertising strategy is to show the general public all the amazing perks of being a grocery store manager. The candy sells much faster when it's cheaper for people other than our customers. |

Hey everyone!
This is Beth again. I had my gig this weekend complete with my shirts! I was feeling a little bit discouraged since some people said it was going to be a really hard job, but I think I did okay for my first attempt. I made 10 shirts and sold all of them after my show.
Big win for me!
So I decided to take a picture of my first ever screen printed shirt for you guys. It is intentionally grungy and faded looking. Let me know what you think!
( woah! look at me! )
How I'm feeling: accomplished |

Is there an easy way to track people who access files on an NFS share? I'd like to know who's accessed a file, and when. I'm hoping there's a way to get an http style usage log. |

I was browsing in generic clothing store, and there was a rack of t-shirts with the American Eagle brand written on them. One in particular had the words colored to resemble the American flag, so it had the word "American" with "ame" in blue and stars and the "rican" in red and white stripes, and the word "eagle" below it in red and white stripes.
There was a young couple next to me, probably about college-aged, looking at the shirt. The guy said, "Ame Rican?" (pronounced AH-may REE-can). "Is that like Costa Rican? I never heard of Ame Rican Eagle. Kinda looks like American Eagle.......oh". His girlfriend just looked at him and walked away.
*EDIT* I know the guy doesn't seem particularly dumb here, but as a commenter says below, just a "hurrdurr moment". But I still thought it was amusing :) |

This was relayed to me by a friend of mine - I just had to share the stupid.
She works at an elementary school with pre-school age autistic kids. Some of them have a couple of "regular" classes during the day that she takes them to.
One goes to English class, where they happened to have a sub that day who was teaching plurals, and possessives.
He writes D-O-G on the board and then asks the class "Okay class... if I wanted to make this word plural, what would I add to the end of it? An S or ES?"
The class kind of mutters general responses.
"Very good, class - the answer is S!" Says the teacher. "If we put ES on the end, that would make it possessive!"
I died a little that day.

Last night, a story from a few years ago came up among friends that I thought was appropriate for this comm.
My dad is in a band. Their drummer at the time was not the brightest. She was petting one of our cats and asked my dad, "What are these little bumps on her belly?" Concerned that the cat might have something on her that she shouldn't, my dad went to go see what she was talking about. He told her they were just the cat's nipples.
Her reaction? "NUH UH!! GET OUTTA HERE! Cat's don't have nipples!! ...do they?" |

Suppose I have a bunch of a particular kind of file with scrambled names (ABCD.jpg CDBA.jpg BBCA.jpg, etc) all from www.website.com/foo/
Suppose then I would like to wget replacements for all of the files.
Who knows why? Maybe they're growing mold. Not the important part of the scenario.
Is it possible to make a bash script using grep to get the file names and insert them into a wget command? I am not very familiar with bash or grep, so assuming this scenario is possible how might one do it?
Thanks.

My boyfriend worked as a mechanic for a couple decades, and as such he's pretty much Seen It All--you know, the electric tape over that pesky oil light, the music up loud to drown out that funny noise...but this one really stood out.
Scenario: customer walks into a parts store and requests something simple....say, spark plug wires. And this dialogue follows:
Clerk: What kind of car is it?
Customer: A fodo. (The r-dropping makes it worse somehow--I swear I thought it was some exotic European make I'd never heard of before.)
Clerk: Yeeesss...but what KIND of four-door is it?
Customer: It a V8.
And the worst part is, he says that not only did this happen REGULARLY, but about three times out of five the next information they would come out with was the color of the paint.
Because the fact that your car has four doors will really narrow down the specific parts you need. O.oHow I'm feeling: amused |

I'm a senior in high school and the things I hear from the mouths of my peers are simply stunning. I just want to either bang my head against the wall or burst into tears on a daily basis.
In the beginning of the semester, a student asked, "Do we have a prime minister?" (We are in the US. This should not be a question you need to ask as a 17/18 year old.)
Yesterday a student asked if women could run for president. I go to an all-girls school and we just finished watching a movie about the women's rights movement. Not to mention, where has she been for the last couple of years? A woman just did run for president, idiot.
I genuinely fear for the future. There are some relatively intelligent and informed students in the class and the school as a whole. But the rest...I just do not understand how they will ever survive in life. D: Even more insanely stupid things happen quite often. I could fill a journal. |
