Milk in a Bag

Why do baggers at grocery stores ask if you want your milk in a bag?

Does anyone not get their milk in a bag? 

Do people really enjoy carrying the milk by the cold wet handle? 

Among other things, carrying milk in a bag allows a person to carry so much more at once. I can't think of a single benefit of not putting your milk in a bag. 

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Kindest Regards....

My Friend Adam posted some things about email signatures a while ago so I thought I'd weigh in on this highly debated topic.

Why do people put closings to emails in their signatures? I think its lazy and a bad practice. Is it really hard to type "Thanks, " at the end of each email? Here are a few instances where this strategy fails:

1. You are emailing someone trying to be forceful. 

Example:

John, 

Due to your incompetence, I've had to work all weekend to get the system backup. If you ever do this again, you'll be cleaning the gum off the sidewalk out front!

Kindest Regards,

Nick

Are you really getting your point across when you do this??

2. You are replying to an email and your email program marks your text in a different font than your signature. 

Example:

"I concur

Thanks, Nick"

That looks ridiculous.

3. You are sending a response to a co-worker were a closing makes no sense. 

Example: 

7

Regards, Nick

Does 7 really need a "Regards"? I think not.

Come on people. Lets stop being lazy!

Coffee Maker

Why is it that when I'm at work and I go and get some coffee and the coffee pot has about 1/2 of an ounce in it?? I understand that if you are the person that takes the last of the coffee, that you are supposed to make a new pot. Lets be honest, leaving anything less than half a cup left constitutes taking "the last". 

Making coffee is not that difficult people!

Steps:

1. Locate Filter basket and remove from coffee maker.
2. Throw away filter/grounds
   
3. Put in new filter and fill with Coffee grounds
   
4. Place filter basket in Coffee maker
   
5. Push BREW button.
   

Wow. Wasn't that easy?

I propose a new rule: If anyone leaves less than 1/2 a cup of coffee in the bottom of the pot and doesn't make a new pot, the remainder of the pot is poured directly on their lap, preferably steaming hot.

Who is with me??

Also-Ran

I hate this term. I think it should be banned. Its supposed to be a slap in the face of the person they are talking about, but in my opinion, it makes the user look like an uncreative idiot.

While I'm at it, I also hate "stay-cation". If your going to just sit at home and eat Cheetos just say that. No need to call it anything fancy!

Pet Peeve

Why is it that when I open a yogurt, I always get squirted, but when i take the time to put my hand up to block the squirting, it NEVER squirts?!?!
