  • I could just as easily say the opposite from my experience and those around me. I get $1 charges all the time. Not all do, of course, but plenty do.

  • A nice gesture that's focused on the validation of the giver, in clear violation of the stated wishes of the receiver, is not a nice gesture.

    I think this is the heart of it. Really depends on OPs delivery, but if this was at least communicated, I can't see how they wouldn't see where OP was coming from too.

    It's so hard in this consumerist society to tell people sometimes it's a better gesture not to wastefully buy things just to say you cared.

  • Seems a nerve was struck..

  • What if you had an object that would only help you remember that you had forgotten something, but not tell you what it was that you had forgotten?

  • Because of Ronald Reagan obviously.

  • Music for Airports by Brian Eno or anything by him at all really.

  • Ugh this is all wrong. It's GUINAN. :)

  • I've still yet to understand what the purpose of the How To Train Your Dragon remake was.

  • I've come across Against The Machine by Paul Kingsnorth. This is pretty much getting at the same. He's a great writer, imo.

  • Depends on the bus type though. A lot of buses have a rear door, and sometimes it's kinda rude to go out through the front when there's a lot of people coming in through the front. So then you end up leaving through the rear and it would be awkward to shout 'Thank you!' to the driver, over everyone's head.

  • Tough life for those with charisma and a personal butler.

  • What if the cell phone was triangulated to come from your house??

  • Thank you, much obliged!

  • Where in Perth??? (If you'd like to share)
