Rental Car Fees
Readers, here is another rental car scam to be aware of. If you rent a car from Dollar, note that there are three fueling options. Pre-pay, Dollar refuels, or renter refuels. If you refuel the car you MUST provide Dollar the refuel gas receipt on close out of the contract.
Yup, you read it right. If the renter fails to provide the gasoline receipt on close out, they will be charged a fee. WTF! If the car was full when I rented it and returned it full, why do I need to provide a receipt? Renters beware!
Five Finger Discount
What would YOU do for $5.00 dollars? Hmm, let me think about that one for a minute. If you want to know what others will do for five snaps, check out Fiverr.com. I checked out a few listings and before I knew it I had spent over 30 minutes trolling around. Nice.
Alright, back to what I would do for $5.00 dollars. I would consider installing PHP scripts or utility type applications for $5.00 each. I will install WordPress plugins for $5.00 each. I will post an original wassupjose.com post on your blog for five dollars. Lame-o!
Wedgie Etiquette
Some form of this topic has been discussed on the web, but here are my 2 cents. Today, I witnessed two de-wedgings in a meeting. Can you already tell where this is going? I have a couple comments and tips for the wedged.
If you are presenting or writing on the whiteboard in a meeting, one indiscrete pull of the wedgie is sufficient. No need to subject the entire audience to a short squat and twist. If you did not de-wedge it the first time, man up and ride that wedge like a wave.
Another Shopping Tip
Okay readers, here is another shopping tip. If you tan indoors this is for you. Listen closely, because I am not going to repeat the tip. Are you ready? Do not pay full retail prices! Many tanning salons sell lotions for FULL RETAIL price.
Here is only one example, but I am sure we can list many examples. A 0.5 ounce sampler of Designer Skin Queen Indoor Lotion sells for $10.00 at salons and the 13.5 ounce bottle sells for a whopping $80.00. Bend me over and do me dry!
Do yourselves a favor. Do NOT be impulsive when visiting the tanning salons. If you must buy lotion, I suggest that you buy a sampler. If you want to go big, shop elsewhere or online for major discounts! The 13.5 ounce Designer Skin Lotion can be found for $30.00 shipped!
This tip does not only apply to tanning lotions, it can be applied to many retail items. If you can wait for the item, shop around and save some dough. Earlier, I purchased two items on eBay and saved a total of $80.00 off retail. I will put the savings into the boat show fund!
Geek Poser
Damn! I was reading an article on the iDongle, which is a hardware-based jailbreak tool, and somehow ended up taking the Original Geek Test. Well, I took the geek test and scored an anemic 10.65% - Geekish Tendencies. I am a poser, smack me down now. Are you a poser?
Old Farts
Hmm, why do we call older people "Old Farts"? Wiktionary and other sources define an old fart as an elderly person who holds views that are considered old-fashioned. If this is true, our country is run by old farts. Quick PSA. Remove Reid and Pelosi NOW! End PSA.
Anyway, back to the definition of old farts. It just doesn't click for me. I would be inclined to think that we call elderly people old farts, because their farts are "Old" or they cannot control their asses and they drop the "F" bombs like it is nobody's business.
Also, wassup with the old guys wearing both suspenders AND a belt. What the hell is that? I can see using one or the other, but not both. Where the hell do the old timers think their pants are going? I just do not get it. I am out.
Holding Back
I am not going to announce any details, but do want to give readers a hint. I am planning to post original content for our "niche" readers. If you have been reading the blog for a while then you know what I am referring to.
Do not believe it? Our friend Ninja got a preview of the content earlier today. The content needs to be edited, so it's web-ready. Ideally, everything will come together over the next couple days or week. Stay tuned.
Tapping That Ass
Haha! I get to use "Tapping That Ass" again, who would have ever guessed? Check this out, I stumbled on another website. Yeah, yeah. The website is "Can I Tap That" .COM, which asks visitors to text someone and ask them "Can I Tap That?" and post the response.
I read a couple of pages, but think the site is boring. But that is just me. Okay, ass tappers go ahead and text someone and ask them if you can "Tap That". Post your response on the website and see if it makes the Top Taps List.
Best Answer
I heart Yahoo! Answers, because you just never know when you are going to stumble on a gem. Below is a classic example. The poster asks if she can get pregnant from "Tappin that ass". Haha, I have always wanted to use that phrase in a post.
Back to the question. I guess it's a valid question, so let's leave it at that. The topic of this post is not the question, but the answer. The responder answered the question with some funky ASCII art. Nice.
Hold That Truck
Have you ever missed a shipment or found one of those dreaded "missed you" slips on the door or mailbox? I hate that crap! Well, you can kiss that shit goodbye soon. Walgreens has introduced the PickupZone service, so you can ship to and pickup packages at Walgreens.
Why would I want to ship to Walgreens? Hmm, I am going to pretend that I did not read that dumb question. Anyway, ship your stuff to Walgreens. The store will sign for and store your package. Walgreens sends you an email and you pickup package. Pretty simple.
No more missed packages. The Walgreens PickupZone service is available only in Manhattan, Boston, and Chicago areas. More locations to follow. Restrictions do apply and this is not a free service. Check the Walgreens website for more information. End PSA.
