My brother-in-law always referred to putting on the baby bjorn as "strapping on the baby kevlar"

Oh boy, I feel like being a human shield should have one of those "you must be this tall to ride this ride" signs

Sure the speakers were cheap but you're not considering the investment in a speaker-flat for all the warped speaker bowls you inevitably get

I once locked myself in the house and had to break out of a window ...curse of self locking doors ...let myself in , closed the door ...pulled the handle to lock ....and left my keys in the outside door lock ....queue panic ..as no other doors open in the house ..fridge in the garage ..door locked ...key outside ...no tea ...wife on a Girls night out ...
Best bit was breaking the window handle as I escaped..resulting in calling a locksmith out to fix it as wouldn’t shut again ...couldn’t make it up

This will make you laugh. My little brother is a little daft. He was on a night out with the lads and came home. My Dad had just moved in with his wife and so only my other brother was in. He’d also been on the lash. The youngest forgot his keys and couldn’t wake the other one up to let him. I’d have walked 10 mins to my dads and sucked up the dressing down to get a bed. My brother climbed into the recycling bin because in his own logic the cardboard would keep him warm…

reminds me of my favorite musician joke: did you hear about the drummer that locked the keys in the van? It took him two hours to get the bassist out

Yeah, I wasn’t even mad to be honest! I kinda giggled and just went “fuck me” and just thought to myself “never am I parking there ever again!”
I enjoyed being in my Oodie, catching the train listening to some mellow music and me and all the workers were pissing ourselves at my car getting towed!
Also, when I went to go pick up my car after work, I was shocked at how unsexable all the guys that worked there were! I honestly thought to myself - “my goodness not only are these men doing jobs that ruin people’s day/a very non-feel good job, but their presentation and overall look wasn’t attractive!” All the guys working in the towing yard were unfuckable Joe!
Also, when I went to the reception to get my car back, the guy at the desk was like “can I see you drivers licence” and I was like “that’s in the car”, and then he asked for my car keys and I also said “that’s in the car” and he was shocked!!! He was like “ummmm ok!?”

Nathan, you need to leave a Yelp review letting potential customers know how unfuckable the staff is. Really, you'll be doing a community service.Yeah, I wasn’t even mad to be honest! I kinda giggled and just went “fuck me” and just thought to myself “never am I parking there ever again!”

I would never say that in a review! Just an observation - maybe I was a bit surprised too because I was a garbage man/worked in hard rubbish and I feel like they both jobs that would have similar people! But then I realised towing cars would be very technical (I wouldn’t be able to do it all) and hard rubbish is so physical that those guys who were all older and overweight wouldn’t be fit enough to do hard rubbish!
Nevertheless, the guys in the towing yard were friendly so their service was A+! I’d give them a positive review on Yelp!

Yes, I hope you would not put that in an actual review. One, because it would probably violate Yelps community guidelines. And, two, it would violate basic social etiquette and decency.I would never say that in a review!

Also I'm fascinated by your logic of the types of guys that would be garbage men. Also, the term "hard rubbish". That's a new one but I'm assuming that's industry speak.

‘Hard rubbish’ refers to the people who pick up everyone’s rubbish on their front lawn/nature strip! I would go from house to house picking up everyone’s ‘hard rubbish’ (such as their wardrobes, fridges, desks, mattresses etc) and throwing them in a compactor! It was a really dirty and physically heavy and hard job! I didn’t like it but I’m happy I experienced doing that job for 6-7 months! I loved the people that always thanked us and who were so happy to see their rubbish get removed! And some of the people always gave us treats! A lot of beers/energy drinks too, but I don’t drink either of them! The boys would always just get my soft drink, energy drink or beer! The best presents were a cold bottle of water! It was always girls giving us a bottle of water - never the boys! They loved giving us beer!

"they'll tow your car without even letting you get your license and keys from inside the car first, and they're all unspeakably unfuckable -- would not fuck these dudes with someone else's wang and the other guy pushing, F- would not recommend getting your car towed by these hags"

You’re going to think I’m crazy, but I actually don’t like having the keys in my pocket, so I leave them in the car with my doors unlocked! I’ve never had anyone break into my car, so I’m lucky!
But yes, I don’t like carrying anything really! Sometimes I don’t bring my phone to work because I don’t like having my phone in my pocket! I just really like the feeling of having nothing in my pockets, so the Apple Watch is super useful for me!

My friends think I’m also crazy that I only leave my car keys inside my car unlocked - so I can’t disagree with you!
My parents leave their house door unlocked and I guess that’s why I like leaving things unlocked! I’m still getting used to the fact that my housemate locks the door - I lock the door to make sure she feels comfortable but I wish she was happy to leave the door unlocked!
My best friend leaves his apartment door unlocked all the time too and I know other people who do the same. I have to admit though…..I’ve never met anyone who leaves the car keys in their car unlocked! I think it actually is quite crazy I do that!

That’s so crazy to me! We always keep our shit locked. My wife and I were sitting in our apartment in front of the TV, and we both hear a noise at the door. So we look over, and we see the door handle moving. Someone was trying to open the door.My friends think I’m also crazy that I only leave my car keys inside my car unlocked - so I can’t disagree with you!

It’s happened two times now.... That we’re aware of.

So my copy of Medeski, Martin and Wood Uninvisible showed up. One record is bowl warped. Pretty much all of side B doesn't sit on the platter.
Anyways, not sure if I should ask for a replacement. On the one hand, I think my tonearm will be able to track it. But on the other, I paid a premium ($50) for this record and it's warped. Guess I feel a bit of guilt asking for another replacement. I signed up for Mars Volta, had the noise issue and went through two copies, then they gave me credit. Had the right channel noise issue on Outkast as well on side D, they gave me two copies, both lousy.
Now I have this MMW, and wondering if I should just live with it and not bother with customer service again. Ideally, I would like a completely flat copy.
What would you all do?
