Wallets in Backpocket?

Honestly I've never understood why this is done. First of all I think it's putting you wallet at a huge risk to get taken, but as if that is not enough I think it's also very uncomfortable to sit on a FULL wallet. Chiropractors I've talked with have said this can mess up your back. But disregarding these things, people still think that this is the best way to carry a wallet..... Why??

Who uses a pay phone?

So just recently seeing a pay phone at a major university one of my family members just graduated from made me think... Who still uses these things? I would of thought that cellphones and the huge amount of them all around that you could ask to use if you didn't have yours would well, put these thing out. Just doesn't make sense, it's funny. I guess someone somewhere will be able to sleep at night knowing that if they might possible need one, it's there available. "Please dust of phone before and after use."

Would This Help?

     So you know its scary when someone comes in the bathroom after you and leave before you are done.  Now this could happen if you need a little extra time, but usually when a guy visits the bathroom to use the urinals and someone beats him out, there is something going on.  

     At work today, this very thing just happened.  I had just started to wash my hands when a guy had come in, disposed of his body liquids, and was passing me on the way out WITHOUT WASHING HIS HANDS.  Common sense people, why do people do this?  Are we really in that much of a hurry to not wash our hands?

     So having lived in other countries, I've seen this a lot, NEVER got use to it, but I knew, hey it's NOT America.  But we should all know better, in most of these other countries, there is often not soup or good clean water.  Usually we have both and some of us still can't take the time to wash.  

     But the question is, would an alarm like this help..I believe NOT.  Just the fact that these people ( and I say these people because I know there is more than one, I saw another guy 6 years ago do the same thing...could of been the same guy, not sure) would do this in front of others (I and three others saw him) would tell me THEY DON'T CARE.  And to me, that is sad.  But still I wish we had had this alarm, its always fun to point fingers.

Should everything be automatic?

     Our bathrooms at work just became all automatic with sensors.  You would think this was a good thing, but now I tend to put my hands under any sink and just EXPECT this to spit soap and water at them.  We live in a world where it gets more and more automated, I wouldn't be surprised when the doors will soon be automatic.
     This has been a blessing to not have to turn off the water after washing my hands, but I just can't help the fact that sometimes I just forget that not all sinks are the same, and for this I wonder if we really need them at all.

Thinking like a Business

Ha, just saw this at the post office. So they have just started adding gift cards, wow, to me this seems like business owner no brainier. Especially due to the fact that only 80% of gift cards are redeemed. To me it is no wonder this business isn't making it. Why would you not offer gift cards from day one, it's like having emmediate cash flow with out products or services being exchanged

Is Scaffolding Legal?

Does laying 2x10 across metal scaffolding frames constitute a safe and legal working environment ( I really hope NOT)?  Workers next to our building five stories up were up on this scaffolding with only rope or metal pipe to act as the the blocker to an immediate fall their death.  I could only keep saying to myself, "I could never do that stuff."  How much money would they need to pay you to go up on that stuff....NOT ENOUGH.  I guess I just don't get it, it's not a job I would do.  I don't like heights, and I'd never feel like I was safe.  Plus the scaffolding just seemed so rickety, old and just down CRAZY!!

Need a Ride?

Have you ever seen this before?  Ask yourself what is going on here, and the simple answer is they are just doing what they do everyday of their life.  Having lived in China (didn't take this picture though) I can declare that this a very accurate situation in China.

While living there I was never amazed at some of the things we experienced.  Five men on a motorcycle with the driver on his cellphone, just after it rained, was certainly one of those things I don't understand, but when it comes to China I'm not surprised.

Toll Free Line- Vending Machines

  Ok, so when you see that the vending machine at your office has a "toll free refund hotline," does that make me want to buying something, or even feel comfortable making my purchase now?  I mean, just the fact that they must offer a toll free line is amazing to me.  Is there that much business for them that they must dedicate a whole phone line to people calling in when these machines have taken their money? I mean honestly, what happened to the days at school when on that rare chance the machine took your money and you'd go down to the school office to get your two quarters back?  Those days are apparently gone, all we have now is a toll free hotline number directing us to a call center, all to process a refund that if the machine actually works, wouldn't need to exist.  Oh the times have changed.
