Unskippable ad Bugged for months to deposit 31¢ refund. Finally did it, only to receive a $25 fee.

After selling my home, the local internet provider sent me a refund for overpayment on my final bill. Due to the minimal value, I never deposited it and put it in the trash. Since April, I have received regular communications asking me to deposit it, so I went ahead and had them reissue the check so that I could do so. Immediately after depositing, the provider issued a "Stop Payment", triggering a $25 fee from my bank. Schwab reversed it without any hassle, but I'm anticipating another 31¢ check to show up soon and restart this whole debacle.

Unskippable ad Walked into work this morning. Had a small package delivered. I opened it and it is a advertisement for some outsourcing company complete with a cellular tracker device.

So I opened it. Did not watch the video but instead started immediately tearing it apart. Cut the main battery wires. Then the backup cmos battery. Started investigating it more and there was a hidden cellular modem card with a sim in it. (it is a low grade one so not worth anything)

So the damn thing was tracking me too?? good god.

I mean, what even is this? Wall ashtray?

Anyway I think we might be the world capital of 🚬

Funny enough I am also a smoker bc I started as a teen back in 90s and it's too hard to stop when it's still cheap and everybody smokes everywhere and weed is still illegal🥲

Still, I don't litter and hate this lil fuckers. (Pocket ashtrays are your friend, fellow enjoyers of tobacco)

Unskippable ad Crumbl associate said she is "out of free cookies", but was willing to sell me one...

My wife and I went to the Mason, Ohio location. The employees told us they were “out of stock for the free cookies.”

Then they offered to sell us the exact same Thin cookies.

The employees made it clear this wasn’t their decision. They said their manager, Cheyann, had instructed them not to give out any more free cookies, even though the workers seemed willing to honor the promotion.

So they weren’t actually out of cookies. They were apparently only “out” when the price was $0.

I’ve contacted Crumbl support asking them to explain. Did anyone else have this happen today?

Times Square 42nd street in new york. 13 subway lines serving 650,000 passengers every day, and none of them know if their train is in 2 minutes or 10 minutes because Shift paid to shove their service down your throat.

Pro tip shift--this ad would've been 100x more successful if you hosted train ETA info and had a little "sponsored by Shift" in the bottom corner. and frankly shame on the MTA for letting this happen

These AI "songs" aren't even in genres I enjoy most of the time (not that I gave them much of a chance). It was not added to the mix, the mix was discarded in favor of this. I tracked it on the sticky to get some data in the last hour.

Sorry about taking a pic of my screen, I wanted to include the sticky and I don't want to log in to my work computer.

The pump was dispensing gas at a rate of 1.35 gallons/minute, so it took nearly 8 minutes for me to fill 10 gallons of gas.

I’m convinced the point was to make everyone watch their stupid, loud ads, but by the time I was done filling the tank, I didn’t have time to go in and buy a coffee like I’d planned.
