Whistling is a sh!tty hobby. I'd rather listen to someone fart than whistle. At least farting serves a purpose.

Whistling is a hobby? I thought it was an indicator of sociopathy.

Update on the dog:

I drove through the neighborhood yesterday looking for posters and those “protected by invisible fence” signs. I found a house with one of those signs at the end of a cul-de-sac right near where we found the dog. Seemed like that had to be it, since it was a straight shot through a neighbors backyard to the main road. Nobody answered the door, so I left a note saying he was at the shelter. Just checked the shelter website, and the dog is no longer listed, so hopefully he’s back with his family.

Somebody on a USMC forum I follow posted up the duty logbook from the barracks on the day of the incident. The day starts normally enough with a plumber being called out to fix something, then a Marine returns some gear to the duty guy… then the duty discovers the girl in a barracks room, PMO arrives, NCIS arrives, interviews happen, etc. in the middle of PMO and NCIS, San Diego police, and Zeroes coming and going some unlucky Marine checks in off of leave in the middle of the day. That did make me laugh.

I’m sure that Marine pulled up to the barracks and saw all the police cars and activity and just thought to himself, “Faaaaaqqqq!” and there were probably a bunch of other Marines hanging out on the balconies watching all the sh1t going down who wanted to yell out to this guy to just go back on vacation.

I imagine that entire battalion is pretty much on lockdown right now.

Picked up the wrong order at a bagel place. :fu::fu::fu:

It was near my dentist and now I'm home, so I'm not gonna sit in the car for 30 minutes to go back...now instead of $30 worth of bagel sandwiches, I have 2 everything bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese (one of which is an incredibly aggressive garlic cream cheese).

I admit, they did call a name that was close to mine...but I have a funny name and the girl at the counter looked very unsure when I gave it to her. The only other people in the store were an old couple who had JUST placed their order. They brought the order out, called the wrong name and then just stared at me like "why aren't you standing up"...I feel like if it was someone else's order, they would have said something.

This happened to me a couple of months ago - daughter and I went to go pick up pizza, salad, and chicken from one of our favorite neighborhood spots. It was hoppin' when we walked in but our order should have been ready. Lady behind the counter goes looking for it, confirms my name and phone number and looks again and cannot find it. Then gets a defeated look on her face as she picks up the stack of filled receipts and reads the order back to me. Sure enough, they gave it to another customer. They were extremely apologetic about it. Oh well... not much we could do about it at that point so we sat on the little bench in the lobby while they pushed a replacement order for us to the front of the queue.

After about 15 minutes our replacement food was ready and the manager wouldn't accept any money for it so I happily stuffed a $20 in the tip jar.

I have a fairly common name but I go by the diminutive version of it. While we were sitting there we figured it was somebody who goes by the shortened version of the same name who took my pies because his came out of the oven and were never picked up. I have to imagine that that guy's family was going to be pretty hungry when he got home because his order was 2 extra large pizzas, a gigantic salad, a bunch of wings, and a thing of garlic bread. Our order was two small square pizzas (one with onions and anchovies), a small salad, and a few wings.
