EndreWhiteMane: Went to store A, they were out of coffee filters.
Store B, also out of coffee filters.
Store C, had lots of coffee filters.
So I bought the wrong kind and came home. :/
CarrionCrow: Well, this could go two ways.
1. You go back to the store with filters and trade them out.
2. You say screw it and use what you bought anyway, just to spite the whole process. ;)
At this point I'm going with #2, at least till I have to go to the store for something else.\
For 99 cents I refuse to go admit how stupid I can be. :-)
EndreWhiteMane: I agree that Sunday should be for church and family. However for people that don't go to church, like me, and people without family nearby, also like me, Sunday gets to be boring beyond tolerating.
At least I can go look at garden plants, or clothes or whatever if I get my chores done and am bored.
Sundays with family are sadly dying anyway, with or without stores. :/
GreenDamsel: It's not just about family or church (I'm not christian anyway). But there are enough studies to prove that it increase moral for work and quality of life when you have a day off once a week. And that everyone has the same day off just helps so that people can meet up.
In regard to the employees of those stores I can see your point quite clearly and I agree.
Unfortunately this is 'Murica, and there is money to be made on Sunday. Oh well. ;/
tinyE: Seems appropriate:
"Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't fucking ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don't fucking roll!"
Don't call me Donny, I hate that! :)
