WTF? When did a half gallon of orange juice quit being a half gallon of orange juice? I've got two containers that I bought recently one is 59 ounces and the other one is 52 ounces.
I also buy canned dog food from Chewey.com. When I go to reorder I just click on my old order and it takes me to what I want to reorder. I did that just the other day and just clicked add to cart. Instead of the large cans showing up the smaller cans showed up so I figured they just screwed up the order. Nope. I click on the item and it's the smaller cans. I click on the older order with the large cans and it takes me to the small cans. The small cans are also now the price that the large cans used to be.

Called in to GT Pie Company on Sunday to set up a curb side pickup order. Girl says they aren't taking curb side orders at this time. Oh, ok. We were headed up to get the food anyway, we'll just order it in the restaurant. We get there and they tell us that they're shutting the doors. What the hell lady? You couldn't share that info over the phone?

Oh, the E. Lansing GT Pie Company shut down. Go to Okemos I gues.

I hate shrinking packages (the water was cold!). Especially the ice cream packages that shrunk from a 1/2 gallon to like 56oz and then 48oz. MFers.

I walk every morning for exercise. When I pass people I do the standard brief wave and wish them a good morning. Today I passed a guy who I have seen at most two dozen times. We have only had one brief conversation two weeks ago when he asked me how much I walked per day (about 9 miles) how long it took me and which development I lived in. We were in my development so I said which street I lived on.

When I passed him this morning (the first time I have seen him since we spoke two weeks ago) he wished me a good morning using my first name.

It was a real WTF moment. I know I never told him my name and I am relatively certain we do not have any mutual friends.

I am not on any social media. My wife is pretty active, but she knows not to post pictures of me. I am both an introvert and private by nature.

Being pleasant has nothing to do with it. I like to think of myself as both pleasant and kind, but I don't know his name and I am at a loss for how he knows mine. My only guess would be that he saw me coming out of or going into my house one day that I was unaware of and looked me up from there.

Personally, I would not do that.

If you want to introduce yourself, I am fine with that and I will tell you my name. That did not occur.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 11:07

Maybe he is your Postman.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 11:09

I got a facebook friend suggestion because it recognized a picture from the board that was used on their FB page as well. Pretty fucking creepy.

No, he is not my postman. When I see him, he is usually on his phone - which I find strange as this is before 8:00 am. I would assume he is about 60 and strikes me with a salesman type vibe.

by **Rocinante** Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 11:16

Maybe he sneaks into your house while you’re out and rubs his balls on your countertops.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 11:23

Next time you see him, straight up ask him how he knew your name. Post the results here.

Be sure you are carrying pepper spray.

I bet this guy has human skin lampshades.

That is probably what I should do, but that could be a bit uncomfortable.

I actually knew a guy named Bill Cain (spelled the same way) but he died a few years ago.

by **Floyd Robertson** Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 11:57

He probably works undercover for the NSA/CIA/FBI/DIA/ATF/ICE/IRS or other alphabet agency impersonating a saleperson, but he slipped up dropping your name.

Honestly if it were me I probably wouldn't ask either. You're right it would be uncomfortable. but it might be fun to play the aggressor in the role and see him squirm and get uncomfortable.

Were you wearing your Walmart greeter name badge?

by MSU addict Tue 25 Aug 2020 - 16:41

No, I never wear that when I walk, it chafes my skin. If it is cold out (below 80) I may wear my vest and of course my MAGA hat.

I have an old can of spray. If it gets too bad or if I find a ground nest, I’ll use that. Not really efficient when it’s just one on one.

Earth better change its attitude real quick or I swear to Lucifer I’ll burn it all down. 2020 ain’t nothing compared to my fury.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pick some lavender for my tea.

Pro Tip:
Instead of saying, For Christ’s sake in front of the more religious and frustrating members of your family, try instead saying, For the sake of Christ. It sounds more pious and sincere. You’re welcome.

Thank you tGreenway. These are the types of life hacks I need to become less of a dick.
