  1. @bossito sim eu sei, mas sempre o fiz de borla, e há muito relato de máquinas a rejeitar embalagens, etc. aliás o Lidl onde costumo ir nem máquina tem. Tenho de ir de propósito a outro sítio para reaver o dinheiro (e sinceramente tudo que envolva Sonae e companhia não me inspira confiança). Nope, vou evitar o maximo que puder. E sim continuo a fazer reciclagem como já faço há 20 anos ou mais nem sei 😅 #oldfart 🤣

  3. So I'm at a major retailer today. Begins with 'W'. My cashier is late teens / early twenties. My purchase totaled $8.86. Throwing off cashier to begin with, I pull out cash. Not a debit card. Initially, I offer a twenty - which the cashier rings through. But them I find I had $9.00 and offer that instead. So instead of the register telling him out how much change to give back, he's forced to do the math.
    *He pulls out his phone and opens the calculator to figure it out.*

    Now here in Canada, we've gotten rid of the penny, so we need to round up / down - but even I, rotten in math since I was a kid - told him he owed me 15¢. He checked his calculator, looked at me like I had just spouted magic, and gave me the change.

    Wow. Just wow.

  5. Yes, yes, it was VERY clever, oh SO clever, to make part of your drum baseline sound like a blown speaker on one channel. I'm sure that anyone who listened to more than five bars of that shit is deeply impressed. #OldFart

  7. When did people stop caring if everyone could hear their conversation with all the details of their personal lives?

  11. Years ago, I stopped by a supermarket after a gym session. I was wearing a tank top and my shoulder tattoo was visible. I was looking at something or another on a shelf when an elderly man got pretty close to me. I assumed I was blocking something he wanted to get at, so I shuffled out of the way. Then I realized he was looking at me, not the food.

    His lips were pressed tightly together, and he was shaking his head in a tsk-tsk sort of way. "You're a woman, you have a tattoo, and that is not--"

    I interrupted him cheerily. "Not your body. Not your business. Bye!"

    I left him there all judgy-faced without a target. I guess he had the sanctimonious equivalent of blue balls. Boo hoo.

    Later on, I told someone about this, and they chided me for not taking a tongue-lashing from that old man. "Fuck that," I said. "That's how I spent my first twenty years. I don't owe that to anyone."

  13. I’m burnt out on #politics
    Between #Trump and #Biden being the eventual winner, we the people will be the losers. It’s sad to say but, unless some third party candidate-I’m looking at you #ChaseOliver @ChaseOliver-we are in for four more years of either an #authoritarian or an #OldFart a really, really old fart. One that’s incapable of being charismatic or functioning enough to beat out a #Pathological #Liar
    Is this the best the #Democrats and #Republicans can do?
    Biden shot his foot off.

  14. Middle-aged power unlocked! 📢

    I can now tell the difference between a new wiry silver nose hair and the rest of my dark brown ones by its feel in my schnozz alone! 👃
    🥸

    Anyone have any other pokey silver nose hair advantages?
