It started in like 2009 or something. I remember paying for my parking pass at SFU and suddenly there was an extra tax.

So i told the old bitch to make me some tea, and she comes back with this.



CAN I FIRE HER FOR THIS!?!??!?

I asked her, wtf is this, its basically left over leaves.

She said there isnt any more loose leaf tea and it only had this left over in the box.

Why would you give your boss the left over trash from a tea box!??!?! WHY WOULNDT YOU OPEN A NEW BOX OF TEA!?!?!? I thought these old bitches born in the mad men era had more sense.

God help me! strike this old cunt down so i may replace her with a big titted blonde with bolt ons

She clearly doesn't know you if she thinks you have a filter on your mouth.

She's either really stupid, or really smart... really smart if this is her way of being like "I'll teach this mofo never to ask me to make tea for him again" hahaha

Dude, your old secretary knows what she is doing! That left over tea leafs dust is THE BEST stuff there is. They are finely powdered so the tea taste really comes out. It is what the old Chinese tea masters drink (bcos like all Chinese, they always finish the leftovers), and they are good shxt!

You should have given her a raise just for doing this!

I dont know if its just me but this looks like the special kind of "mushroom" tea. Maybe she's trying to get you to chill the fuck out and go on a couch vacation for the rest of the day.

I just read this and kept going "WTF?" - turns out that in the US that most cities do not consider sidewalks (you know the human equivalent of roads) to be a responsibility of cities and that it's the responsibility of private citizens to build and maintain sidewalks in front of their house. That is INSANE.

This quote is nuts:

Quote:
“It’s uncharted territory,” she said. “The city has never taken on a project of this scale before, and they’re taking over an entirely new class of assets that they’ve historically had nothing to do with.”
It's a fucking SIDEWALK! What do you mean it's uncharted territory and nothing you've done on this scale? You're a fucking CITY!

are you a hot blonde with huge tits and a big ass? must be open to lecherous old men oggling your said tits and ass while demanding full leaf teas without leftover tea powder/trash.

Oh preferably speaka da engrish gud, but ill hire an ukranian refugee who doesnt speak a word of engrish as long as she's down for my annexation of her sovereign space.

This is the kind of stuff I've been harping about when speaking about the US.

Biking/walking in so many parts of Texas was a total shit show due to the lack of sidewalks, or even basic shoulders on roads.

These bloody libertarian fanatics are pushing the idea of free-market roads:

if you talk to 1st amendment auditors in the US with their cameras, they'll be the 1st to tell you they're standing on the sidewalk which is public property

There's an old joke that goes "how do you know if someone went to harvard? They'll tell you."

I find these days you can replace "went to harvard" with "supports trump".

2 year warranty though, time to bring it into the Dyson store.
So cause I'm a dumbass and didn't look it up first. I brought the V15 down to the store at PC and they don't have a repair department.

They instead gave me a number to call Dyson.

Lo and behold, they don't have the parts to fix my vacuum, so my two choices was either wait for them to be in stock with no ETA, or exchange for a new one.

I decided on the exchange option which would take two weeks. Again, they no longer have the V15 Detect on stock so they'll upgrade me to something better.

At this point I'm not sure if I'm getting a V15 Absolute or a Gen5 Detect. But my wife wants her vacuum.

Dyson has a fantastic warranty at least, my ex used my DC37 to vacuum up tons of drywall dust and it clogged up everything. I contacted them and since it was user error it shouldn't be covered under warranty but they sent me all new replacement parts for no charge.

Indeed - we have 2 Dyson V8s (or earlier?) and we have 2 because the first one developed a crack or something (and I think it was due to us dropping it) and because the crack was part of the main body Dyson basically sent us a whole new V8. I think we were missing just the battery or something to make it whole and now we have 2 Dyson V8s.

We've had both for at least 6 years now and my wife loves them - never had a reliability issue with ours.
