How my day is going so far....

Sometimes I buy weird combinations of items just to make them wonder "what the heck is that guy going do with that stuff?!" Especially when you make a comment about a party you're having this weekend and needed some last minute things.

Duct tape, rope, Vaseline, and a pack of D cell batteries?

I worked for a consulting company in about 2000, all of our internal meetings were conference calls since we were all on-site at various clients. The first rule of conference calls was you're on mute unless you're talking, the second rule was see rule #1. Worked great even with 30-40 people on a call. Sadly people these days don't understand that no one wants to hear them typing away on their keyboard when others are trying to talk.

We were on a routine global monthly conf call once about 7-8 yrs ago. Roughly 100 people. Mute was an issue, but not so bad where the organizer had to implement an “all mute” from his end of the call (i.e., muting all participants). We heard a toilet flush during one of the calls. Got a few chuckles on the phone. Afterwards everyone was conjecturing about who it could have been. Multiple people agreed that “it sounded like a European toilet flush”! I just thought that was funny enough to share.
 
I don't worry about doing someone else's job when I check out. My criterion is what line will get me to the checkout stand the fastest. Sometimes, when I pay my Target bill at the store, I'll do my shopping first if I only need a few items. Then, once I've paid my bill, I can check out there. The courtesy line is usually a lot shorter than the shortest check out line, and I had to stand in the courtesy line, anyway.
