Driving home from work, watched a bum spray bleach on in the gutter down a long stretch.

Seeing someone signal over halfway through a turn into their own driveway. Why bother?

A couple weeks ago when buying my first dress shirt and tie for Valentine's Day, there was this little kid in a stroller looking at me, saying "Boy! Boy!" His mother then said "Yes, that's a boy! Do you like boys? Do you like boys?" and when he didn't say anything she said "It's ok if you do, I'll still love you".

Notice how he didn't say, "Man! Man!" :awe:

Yeah, a suffering starving college student going to Vegas to party on the strip for three days. It's like the Nef@Work crew complaining about not being paid enough.

You sound bitter.

It's been warming up again here lately, and some of the busier roads are actually right down to the pavement. I saw a salt truck the other day actually spreading salt... on PAVEMENT! LOL. What a waste. Most of the salt pebbles just bounced around and eventually worked their way to the sides as people drove over them. Actually the second time I witness that. People joke about snow plow inefficiency, but to actually see it with your own eyes, really makes you go WTF.

Well a lot of places you have to use what you got during the winter otherwise you will get sent less next year so they need to use it or get screwed.

Yeah that's probably it, which I think is BS because it just encourages waste. Lot of companies work this way with budgets too. You have to use up all your budget or you don't get as much the next year. This simply forces people to waste money and resources.

Perhaps, I'm just not sure why the OP is going "WTF" about what was posted. Seems like a bunch of assumptions are being made or, possibly, the OP knows more about the person and their circumstance that hasn't been communicated to us.

True, was quick in my posting.

Said person complains about how much she has in student loans all the time and that she shouldn't have to pay them back and keeps trying to start movements to get student loans rid of and etc...

Then 2 hours later she posts about her trip to Vegas.

Just makes me go wtf

Pretty much every "news" post in ATOT gives me a big WTF. But as for your OP, yeah students that just sign papers and think school is free are idiots and shouldn't be going to school.

This is exactly what goes on in our military on a day to day basis. Then people wonder why our defense budget is greater than the entire rest of the world combined, but we're only fighting ground wars in the middle east with it.

The last time I went to Dunkin Donuts, I saw one of the cashiers steal a few bucks out of the register next to hers and dump it in the tip jar. She did it right in front of me, and didn't even try to conceal her actions. Crazy!

Not just the military. Every branch of government service is exactly the same. It's a load of crap, and needs to be fixed.
