Bought a @Google @googlenest hub from @BestBuy@BestBuySupport online. Didn't buy an open box, but when I get home, I see this... Wtf, I can't give this as a gift?! Now I've got to drive another 25 minutes to exchange it the week before Christmas. ๐ญ
Just my luck - Tara and I bought tickets to see @azizansari - our first show since Scarlett was born 5 years ago - and it gets canceled. With my luck the next show there will be Jeff Dunham or Dane Cook or something.

I love working outside, but it isn't without downfalls. Since we've all decided that straws are the devil, I've been drinking my iced coffee from an open top cup. I just took a big sip, blindly, then glanced down to see a bird had shit directly in it. Probably have salmonella.
@Kraftastic You keep saying banning. I am not. I am suggesting that making them available only upon request is sensible. If some companies decide not to make them available at all, that's their call, of course.
@majortominor@Olsonjam808@jesterchris1 @BirdMiler @WatchChad@Kelly62317572 Pretty sure Poe's Law is at work here - I think James is using some sarcasm that you're not picking up on. The irony here, is that it is totally believable that this kind of rhetoric could be coming from someone in earnest.
