People are... well stupid

If you want to buy something, you have to pay money. If you decide that $80 is too much to spend in one shopping trip, please do so before all your purchases are rung up and your card is swiped. Please do not decide you only want half of the things you bought 5 seconds ago and really only wanted to spend $30.

Pay attention to signs. If you thought the Eureka upright vacuum originally priced at nearly $200 is on sale for $50 because a sign said 'Dirt Devil hand vac', you are on crack.

Shoplifting is not cool. You will get caught and it has nasty consequences. So I am saying it again, if you want something, you have to pay for it. Please, for your own sake, and that of your record and any decency or sense of integrity you may have, don't do illegal stuff.

If you think it isn't summer anymore, maybe you ought to look at a calender, there is still a little over a month left to the season and school hasn't started back yet either. Because oh my $12 for a pair of shorts in the middle of August, outrageously expensive! How dare they be over $10 when "it isn't summer anymore"? Do people think before they open their mouths? Cheapskates. Guess they never buy anything name brand.

This has been a sampling only, not anywhere near an extensive list of stupid people things in the past week alone.

Not mine

I have a friend with TiVo who records this one show I like (they watch it too). It is on a channel I don't get on my 5 station TV and I was unable to see it at their house live because of work. I talked to them and expressed my desire to come watch my show on Saturday. They were like 'okay, sounds fine' (and I mentioned I had to work at 3). I arrive at their house and they set the TiVo up... to watch 'In Plain Sight', then press play. They seemed to be really enjoying the show and I wasn't the only one there, so I didn't want to seem rude (after all it isn't my house or my TV). I watch the episode of a show, which while it seems like a decent show A) it was not the show I wanted to watch, B) it really isn't my type of show from what I could tell, C) It was the second to last episode of the season (not really the time to get into a series) and D) it aired on Sunday and it is now Saturday... you mean they had a whole week to watch it and picked to do it on at the particular time I was over to watch my show?
After 'In Plain Sight' is over they hand me the remote and set me up to watch my show 'Burn Notice'... only it is now half an hour before I need to leave for work and one episode without commercials runs approx. 45 minutes. I had two episodes I hadn't seen. Needless to say I only got halfway through one episode. Tell me how this makes sense? I think I should drop the hassle and try to view episodes online because this is stupid. Las time I went over to watch an episode before this one, practically the same thing happened. 'In Plain Sight' was airing live that time though, but someone had missed the beginning so by the time I got to watch my show, it was about 45 minutes after 'In Plain Sight' had ended in real time and people were ready to go to bed.
Lessons: 1) No matter how much easier you think it will be to watch TV at someone else's house, try online first even if your internet is slow. 2) I am frustrated. 3) I still want to watch 'Burn Notice'.
