CoronitaParticipantKaren #9. Manner Police
Etiquette while walking….
This morning I was walking West up (north side)the hill Ocean Air Dr. as I have many times. People (including myself) are always very polite & conscientious about moving to the shoulder in the street or trail if there is one, which I appreciate. However today as I approached a section with no trail I saw a group approaching so I got ready to move to the street. As I got closer I saw 3 groups of women walking together, each with a dog and some with a few children walking side by side spreading all the way into the street. None of them made any attempt to move to single file so I was forced out into the middle of the street. I really can’t believe the selfishness and rudeness. Not sure what else I could have done.
CoronitaParticipantI went with my kid to Legoland a few years ago, and both of us remember this lady cut in front of us at the food line to complain about the pepperoni pizza she ordered.
She went on a tirade that the personal pepperoni pizza only had 4 pepperonis not 5 or more and demanded a full refund. The manager gave her a full refund, and then she sat down and finished the pizza.
I feel sorry for the american retail stores. What a pain in the ass american consumers are.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=svelte]Nextdoor is pretty bad. The stuff I read on there – and it’s not just the females I might add – is really obnoxious nosey Joe and Jane type of stuff.
Yelp is fun to read too. Some of the crap that people complain about from various businesses is just amazing to read. Makes me glad I don’t have to deal with the general public at my job.[/quote]

CoronitaParticipantyou could write a book about Karens.
CoronitaParticipantJust go onto nextdoor in an affluent area, lol.
Plenty of examples. I don’ think it’s a generational thing. It’s more of an “bored annoying stay at home mom that meddles all the time in everyone else’s affairs” sort of thing. i got a couple of classic examples collected over time.CoronitaParticipant[quote=legallyblue][quote=Coronita]https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/us/california-deaths-earliest-in-us/index.html
Told ya! Mentioned it early on in this thread. My ex-coworkers that went back and forth between here and China for work already sick with flu like symptoms as early as January, but tested negative for flu and had the flu shot, and doctors couldn’t figure out what it was. The entire office also came down with the same thing 1 week later. Covid was here a lot earlier, it’s just people didn’t know what they got and thought it was some weird form of flu.[/quote]
It is interesting California is relatively quiet compared to NY if Covid was here since Jan[/quote]population density. I think if you break down the infection in NY, majority is in NYC. Also, heavy reliance on public transportation in NYC, unlike in CA.
Beautiful day today in SD BTW. Gonna go out for a run…

CoronitaParticipantYeah, parks are open again!!!1!

I didn’t ask the question or make the initial post for myself, it was a category question, though Coronita did offer several helpful ripostes once he got done with his moralizing.
[/quote]Flu/coronita has a hard time accepting we’re in a HUGE recession after making fun of people who would prepare for one.
Flu often refuses to look at the aggregate big picture. It’s always about him winning.
If people have loss of income they should qualify for mortgage forbearance. They should apply and conserve cash. That’s only prudent.[/quote]
Well Brian/FlyerInHi, I have to say, you did pretty well. You lasted almost 2 weeks before reverting back to the shithead you normally are before volleying those initiated personal attacks, despite getting all butt hurt when you get them yourself. Congrats, I think 2 weeks was a record for you. And you got it completely wrong. I have the deepest sympathy for almost everyone who is impacted by this horrific pandemic event, however they are impacted, except maybe you Brian. But good luck to you. Lol.
Josh, if you want to get a mortgage forbearance, go for it. I was merely saying that (1) if you don’t really need one it might not be worth the hassle and (2) if you have to misrepresent your financial state in order to get one, you also might want to reconsider that. But, do what you got to do. I have a feeling you’re fortunate and not nearly as impacted as people who really need this, given that you seem to fit the mold of being pretty financially savy.
CoronitaParticipantI got it!!! We could drain all the water from a swimming pool and fill it up with crude oil. And then when oil is back to normal pump the oil back out from the swimming pool. The profit from the oil will more than pay for the cleanup and restoration of the swimming pool. You’ll actually save some money too. Because if you have a swimming pool, you are probably paying a lot to maintain it. With crude oil in itz you no longer need to hire a pool person to do monthly maintenance. It might be a little tough to swim in it, due to the viscosity of the crude oil. Minor problem
Like a McKinsey management consultant interview question, “estimate the number of barrels of crude oil that can be emptied into the average swimming pool in SoCal”.
CoronitaParticipantHey, let’s crowdsource a fleet tanker trucks paid for by members of piggington..We can find parking on our respective streets. San Diego lets you park on the street for 72 hours before you have to move it at least twenty feet. I have a very long street and I can fit at least two tanker trucks and there’s no HOA, not that they can govern public street use. We get 10 or so tankers, drive it to Oklahoma to take delivery and bring it back to SD and Riverside County. The cost of.tje transportation will be less than how much we’d be paid for the negative costing barrels of oil. I don’t think there are any hazmat issues of you keep the oil in the tanker trucks.
CoronitaParticipantAH! While La Jolla Coin Shop is now closed, its sister location San Diego Coin and Bullion is still open by appointment only….
1 Golden Eagle must be worth at least 100 barrels of crude oil now, lol….
I remember when Apmex were selling these for $1000-$1100 just a few years ago, even better when ebay was rebating 10% with the ebay buck rewards program for coin purchases AND ebay credit card had a 2% cash back reward for charging it too. Although there was a limit on how much you eBay Bucks you could get per quarter, it wasn’t a problem if you had more than one account, heh heh. Well, at least until people kept doing it and ebay finally changed their policy so that coin purchases would no longer qualify for the eBay Bucks reward program. Otherwise, it was nice to get roughly -9% below spot prices with the Bucks program + the credit card promo cash back offers combined.
See, that’s how you milk the system Josh. Playing with the mortgage forbearance game is way too much effort for what you get out of it 🙂
CoronitaParticipantI want to sell some of my gold bullion and exchange it for barrels of oil….
It’s pretty amazing. One ounce American Eagle that was once $1100 is now over $1700 and can buy a shitload of barrels of crude oil..
Gold is nothing more than bling bling. It really doesn’t have that much utility except for some reasons, humans have assigned a remarkable value to it. Crude oil, on the other hand, is actually something useful….Without it, you can’t power machines to mine everything else, like gold….
I wonder how much it costs to rent a public storage locker….There’s probably a hazmat issue doing that though.
The other problem is, I can’t find a local dealer that is still open to sell the gold coins, lol….
