At the risk of being accused of math shaming or something, I love it when a cashier, usually younger cashier, hits the wrong button on the register. The look of shear panic really cracks me up.

I had a total of $7.25, gave her $20.25, something went wrong with the register and she looked like a deer in headlights. I told her the change is $13 and she says, "thanks, I've always been bad at math". Bad at math? This is basic subtraction, not solving for "x".

She was probably just a stupid person. She kind of sounds like it.

Hubby and I were just having this discussion last night. God forbid you give them pennies after the register has already told them what your change should be!

Honestly, I hated that. You work a till and you like to get a flow going. Mental math, last minute currency changes mess with that. Retail work sucks, especially if it's busy. A mom and pop it's probably no big deal, but a big chain has procedures and there's pressure to move things along.

It annoys me when athletes play with their mouth guards. Like Steph Curry. He's a great player but all I see is him gnawing on his mouth guard. Victor Martinez can't keep his in place either. Just one of my weird quirks, I guess.

I may be off at every point here. But I kind of think bluetooth headsets were dubbed 'douchey' because they came in too early in the smart phone era and were perceived as people showing off how great they were. I also think that if they came along now, they might have a totally different life.

It annoys me that athletes wear mouth guards. Man up pussies.

Mostly they're douchey because the users tend to be narcissists whose conversations take precedence over everyone else in the vicinity.

But no one's considered douchey for using their handset or having their nose buried in their phone regardless the situation nowadays. Or at least it's not a nearly universal narrative like it was for the bluetooth pieces.

It's a matter of douchey vs antisocial.

If you're having a phone conversation in public with your phone on speaker, you deserve the be flown into the sun.

I don't get how some things go viral. I finally watched the chewbacca mask mom after reading she made over 400k from the video. She just puts on a mask and starts laughing, why does this have 300 million views? I don't get it.

I saw this, yesterday. So glad that others saw it too. My kid was right there with me, and missed it.
