okay. we'll go with that.I don't think such an animal exists.
I'm not exactly angry. Just extremely irritated.
Do you use coupons at the grocery store? I have. Not often but sometimes because my grocery store is full service clothes, TVs, furniture etc... I have saved huge money with coupons. Have you ever tried to use a coupon that was expired or you grabbed the wrong product or size of product specified on said coupon? I have done this. We've all probably done that a time or two and if you are a better reader than us, good for you and your superiority.
So, having said all that, don't misunderstand what I'm about to say.
Lady in front of me.
Big cart full of groceries, clothes.
5 Coupons.
None worked. 1 expired. The rest the wrong products.
So, we then have to sit there while the checker digs through dozens of bags to find the products because the person is fighting for that 10 cents.
Iwasthisclose to pinging change off of this old bat's forehead so she could get her deal.
I realize people are on fixed incomes. I realize that every dime counts for them. All I'm asking is, please be organized, and check your coupons before you unload a whole damn belt of groceries.
For the love of God, think of the children.
I try very hard to remember: If this is the worse thing that is ever going to happen to me -- to be stuck for a century behind you -- I'm pretty blessed.
The store can send them out. You can get them from newspapers. Or print them off the internet.
Are these Coupons available for everyone, maybe in the Newspaper, or where do you get them from ?

Absolutely. I hear ya.Add on to your irritation:
I know I am getting "old" and eyesight is not of youth. But the print on some coupons require telescope power to read. Of late I am noticing expo dates are very short dated. Get one in the mail on Monday, put in purse, and by Friday it is expired! The next issue-- bold print on the coupon, and read a tad further to the tiny "ant" print and it has enough requirements to need a law degree. Am I showing my old "get off my lawn" age? Organization is great, and I pride myself on mine, but really-- some coupons could be better designed. Every penny counts today.

Dang, HAL’s gone?dammit! I'm mad because I just rick rolled everyone in a very serious thread.
Mr. Rain, voice of H.A.L. who passed away had an iconic role in movie history. While we may not have known his face, we knew his voice. We knew the character.
The youtube I chose to post was H.A.L. singing. In the movie, he sings Daisy. In this video, he was rick rolling us! dammit!
Please go watch the correct video.

It's okay Dana - that video from yesterday wasn't so bad - I know it was a serious thread (RIP) but no one would ever accuse you of not being respectful.dammit! I'm mad because I just rick rolled everyone in a very serious thread.

Thanks. I felt bad after I realized what I had done.It's okay Dana - that video from yesterday wasn't so bad - I know it was a serious thread (RIP) but no one would ever accuse you of not being respectful.
Maybe it's a neighbor who doesn't like the traffic and attention it draws.Some punk has been cutting my Christmas lights. I go pretty all out for outside Christmas decorations and I make sure our house draws people to come look at our lights. Two strands in particular were cut, but one of them was a long one that went a good ways around the perimeter of the yard. 40 dollars worth of lights shot to all hades that I had to replace.
My guess is it's one of the teenagers that ride the school bus that stops right in front of our house in the mornings. It's obvious an animal didn't do it or that it was wind damage. These were clean and deliberate cuts from a pair of scissors in multiple sections. I don't understand why some brat would do that. I really don't. Not only is it trespassing it is also destruction of property. Is that what kids get their kicks from these days?
Hate to spoil it for you but kids have gotten their kicks that way every decade.s that what kids get their kicks from these days?
