EXPIRED COUPON STORY

I'm so taking this to the store next time and demanding they honor it. I am kidding of course, but it reminds me of a person and a time.

 There was this old lady and 1 till open (almost no one there but me and her). Well she has this coupon and is demanding it is good and wants to see the manager.

 Manager comes out and asked "what is going on"? Well she says she won't take the coupon. The manager looks at it and says "this is from 1972" - at the time it was 2013. So kind of VERY expired. It was for $0.05 off a can of cat food (I realize the cliche here).

 She starts to be visually shaken by this now and is out of control upset. I fish in my pocket and pull out a nickle. I toss in in front of her and say "I'll pay the 5 cents to get you out of the way".

 Well this is where I almost lose my shit - she looks at me and says "It's a matter of principle and I won't give up". By now 3 others are behind me in the line and all ready to toss grandma out the door. The manager says "fine take it" and she leaves with the cat food.

 I pull up with my 2 items and notice she had taken the nickle with her. Yup, people.

      Nope LOL. I'd have kicker her out and told her not to come back honestly. I'm willing to bet she knew it was expired.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
