After quitting I could not believe the amount of time co-workers wasted on smoke breaks, while I continued working. Even more incredulous that the concept of said break was almost universally accepted, like smokers had some right to be unproductive for several five minute periods a day.

Oh man don't even get me started on this one. Worked at a car shop for 3 years... it was insane. Everybody else got 10 breaks apparently.

There's a Wii U set up at Best Buy - I've noticed that most people use it simply to create a Mii of themselves. I decided to do the same except I discovered that someone had beat me to it - there was already a Mii of me! It was a very strong physical likeness and had my first and last name. Maybe a former student made it? Bizarre, whatever the case.

I don't know wtf these things are, but I hate them!



They've been infesting my bedroom. For a week or two straight I was having to remove 3-5 of them each day. I started to just keep a canister vacuum in the hallway outside my room just so I could vacuum them up instead of swatting them, and for two reasons (one of them very good). One, the volume. Having to deal with them got so frequent that it's much easier to just vacuum them up. Especially when they in a hard to reach spot or not on a swattable spot. And two, the bigger reason, when you swat them they explode a decent amount of juice and guts.

They make a very audible buzzing sound when they fly. They also make a fair amount of noise when they're flying around my metal blinds. And then there's just the fact that I don't want ANY bugs of any kind in the room I sleep in. Luckily, I've only been having to deal with one or two every few days this past week. I don't know how they're getting in.

You can feel better by realizing that you'll get all those smoke breaks at the end of your life in the form of being alive, while all those smokers will probably die at a younger age than you.

You obviously did it while sleep walking or black out drunk.

I'd be pretty badass if I could sleepwalk 15 miles down the highway. I don't even think Luke could pull that off.

I just brought up the smoking thing because I've been told many times it got you a better buzz than a dip did, but I smoked about 5 cigarettes and got nothing. Mighta been the type, I'm not sure. (Marlboro Black, I got the cheapest as it was for a project. ~$4.50 a pack here.)

I guess because I've dipped a decent bit beforehand, I'm more used to the quick hit going in my bloodstream or something. But overall, here its more socially accepted in my age group to dip than to smoke, and there is the advantage of not having to deal with the smell or the smoke, which makes a difference trying to pick up girls. (There are some who like it though.) I did like the taste of cigs, but then again I can get wintergreen dip...

I think fifteen yards of sleepwalking before I fall on my face is my limit.

Those are brown marmorated stink bugs! A gross invasive species!
Here's a video showing some methods of dealing with them.

I only smoke when I'm on fire.

Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.
