Companies/hiring managers who ghost someone after multiple interviews are absolute scum bags. Are you really too chicken E36 M3 to send an email letting someone know they aren't moving forward? I don't get it.

They've already let you know what kind of company they are. You don't need that kind of bullE36 M3.

I had a shiny plant manager that was shiny and I told the buyer he wouldn't give me an answer on us meeting and wouldn't ever return my calls.
She looks at me - oh, he gave you his answer.
Seriously, berkeleying stop putting packages in the berkeleying planter!
Got in the company car today and it smelled like straight up american spirits. All of my european coworkers have a shared delusion that they can smoke in rental/company cars and as long as they stop smoking 24 hours before they turn it in, the smell will just magically go away. It doesn't. Plus it's a jeep so i have to deal with uconnect
Yea, 1130pm to 2am is plenty of sleep

I average about 20 hours of sleep during the workweek.

In reply to Appleseed :
I finally had my average up to around 35 hours a week, but this damn memory foam mattress has decided that that was entirely too much.
Can't wait till I can afford to replace it with a proper inner spring.

Mrs. VCH orders a package from Bezos Box, it shows delivered on September 14. She has not received said package. Opens complaint with Bezos, they tell her she can reorder it, but they show it delivered, so they won't refund it unless she files a police report claiming it was stolen.
Saturday I happen to catch the mail lady and ask her about it...she says she was off that day but there was a substitute. She checks her handheld computer dealie and it shows it was delivered to the house down the street from us that has the last two digits of the house number transposed from ours. She then drives down there and checks with them, and comes back to our house a few minutes later and says "yep, she got your package, says she brought it up here and left it by your mailbox".
So....yep. Apparently someone took it. Great. Mail lady said we can open a mis-delivered package case with USPS, but we have to wait a month from the claimed delivery date for some reason.
The other thing that pisses me off is, we've gotten packages for that other house before, and I've walked it over to them and left it on their porch for them. Methinks I need to go have a polite discussion with them, tell them this, and ask them nicely if this happens again to please put the package on our porch. Apparently there are roving mail pirates in our 'hood. And I have a security camera on the porch.

Your insurance company is hinting to you that what your g/f really wants is her Wrangler fixed.

Save your old Bezos boxes in the future. Fill them with undesirables. Old car parts, rotten potatoes, cat/dog turds. Wait for said box to be stolen. Enjoy extreme schadenfreude.

That requires money. If I remember correctly, Stanger's money situation is tight.

I love this idea, except that whoever steals the package will then remember my house, and possibly retaliate.
EDIT: I'm thinking maybe just leave a note inside a box packed with scrap cardboard, right on top, that says "You are being recorded on camera. Future thefts will be reported to the police"
Due to other priorities, the ratty Miata has been neglected this summer. Had to charge up the battery to rearrange cars in the driveway, and it is making a hellacious ticking in the top end, that did not go away after several minutes, including a bit of driving. I think it is a lifter not pumping up, but I tore them down and cleaned them a couple years back, so it could be something worse. Got a spare engine stashed, but really not in the mood for a swap right now. The short drive down the street also reminded me of how much fun it is, so I don't want it out of commission any longer than it has to be.
This one is pretty minor but still a bit of an irritation.
If someone places an order on your website and you pull $900 out of their account, send them an order confirmation. That way they know you received the order. They also know that the information you have is correct. As a plus when they call with a question, they will have an order number that you can use to look it up. When there is zero communication after 10 days and they spend 30 minutes on hold, it's a little irritating. A 30-second email might also free up your phone lines.

Many months ago I bought tickets to see Queens of the Stone Age and Viagra Boys this Wednesday. I'm bad at scheduling so I just tell my girlfriend everything I've got going on and if something new pops up I ask if the day is taken already. She forgot about the show so I agreed to help a buddy get his dad's car ready for a road trip leaving this Friday. Bummer.
In reply to volvoclearinghouse :
It does boggle the mind what some folks will find a retaliation-worthy act. A few years ago I realized someone was regularly siphoning some gas out of my van. Like "Huh, 6 MPG again? That seems unlikely." I put a locking gas cap on it, and almost immediately thereafter found my van emblazoned with a giant male member in jagged paint pen.
"Dick! I was stealing that gas!"

At the grocery store last night, some guy wearing a tank top is scratching his armpit and then touching the produce.
WTF????

Hell, I'd like to get the Wrangler fixed. It bothers me just sitting in the driveway. In order to get the engine replaced, I gotta get caught up on maintenance on the Tahoe, clean it up and sell it to pay for the engine replacement. But then we would be down to one operable vehicle while the Jeep gets repaired.
In other news, the GF tried to add me and my vehicles to her auto insurance policy. She has Flo. They quoted her $2,730 for 6 months, which is over $1k more than I pay for a 6 month policy, which in itself is borderline criminal. I've been with my carrier for over 20 years; the GF has been with hers for about 8. I think its time to drop both of them ASAP and find a local, independent agent and then GTFO of this E36 M3hole state.

I'd be more worried about the untreated effluent that gets sprayed vegetables than armpit funk.

His girlfriend probably had her little rat dog in the shopping cart, or under her arm, too.
