Online bargain an offline tangle
"I received an email from Noel Leeming about a VIP one-day sale. It included a popcorn maker for $29.99," writes Tim of Ellerslie. "Rushed to the store at Sylvia Park and found the same item on the shelf at $99.99. A shop assistant said the special price must have been for online orders only and suggested placing an online order for home delivery. When I explained that we have difficulty with home deliveries due to being in a secure apartment block, he suggested we ask them to deliver it to the store and we could pick it up from there — all for $29.99. So ... we could either pay $99.99 at the store and take it with us, or we could go home and order it online, have it delivered to the same store, go back and pick it up for $29.99!"
What do you silently judge people on?
1. What they name their babies: "If your kid is named Brayden, Kayden or Hayden, I assume you are a nurse who has decorations in her house written in cursive about drinking wine."
2. The lock-screen picture on their phone is a selfie.
3. Talking on speaker phone in a public place or watching videos on phones in public without headphones.
4. Quality and placement of tattoos.
5. Volume of conversational voice.
6. Painted-on eyebrows.
7. Not giving the "thanks wave" when you let them cut in, in traffic.
8. Whether their windshield wiper speed is appropriate for the current precipitation. (Via Reddit)
