I'm trying to break the kid of saying "He went to Walmarts for something."

The outside chance he went to multiple Walmart stores for that something is super thin.

Holy crap, my 12 yo boy went back to school and after a few days he started saying "mines". For example, "That book is mines" or "Mines movie is coming on soon". I destroyed that shit right away and told him, "You don't live in the freaking hood and talk like an uneducated moron. You're in 7th grade for crying out loud, knock that crap off."

After a couple of days, and a few reminders, it stopped.

Apparently, it's cool talk like this now? [Dunno]

Ah, obviously, you haven't been to the Walmarts in Colorado Springs, where you still don't have everything on your list after three Walmarts.

FYI, Maths is the British term for Math classes.

And with good reason. I wonder if the American tendency to lump mathematics together into a super category is one of the reasons we are failing so hard at it. Someone struggles with say... Algebra, and they are convinced they cannot do "math". That's like saying "I have a hard time understanding programming, so I'm obviously bad at IT".

I hate when there are 2 doors and people coming in or out refuse to use the other door like I'm a f-nig door man that opened the door to let you through! The least you could say is thanks, you lazy, selfish, nut sack! When did we get so lazy that we can't open our own door.

When I'm walking in an isle, or path, on the right side and someone coming the other way comes at an angle or meandering path to block my path.

People that just walk away from you when you are mid-sentence. This happened a few times at work today.

Of course, being in the casino biz, there is a rather high chance of dealing with an asshat to begin with.

I usually just say to myself, "Well, they're and asshole and I'm not, so I WIN!"[Flower]
