How To Fix Those Darn Socks With Holes In Them
I wouldn't bother doing this with normal athletic socks (the bright white ones I enjoy wearing with my sandals), but my wool socks run $15 a pair and you can bet I'll fix those if they ever get a hole in them.
When Is Dinner Time Not Dinner Time?
$490 over the past 3 years. That's $13.61 per month, which is around two visits. You are not a customer they should make exceptions for.

Walmart Greeter Asks For Receipt, Customer Punches Her In The Face
I've punched none. And my method of dealing with this is to say "My receipt is in my front pocket. You're welcome to fish it out if you like." They never seem to take me up on the offer.
Someone Needs To Tell Mediacom The Definition Of 'Paperless'
I didn't say he was trying to scam anyone. I'm saying the bill in the photo doesn't look like what I usually get in the mail.
Someone Needs To Tell Mediacom The Definition Of 'Paperless'
How do we know this bill wasn't printed at home, then they just took a close-up photo of it. It's conveniently cropped to hide anything in the background. Also, that fold isn't as crisp as the (very few) bills I receive in the mail.








Arizona Tries To Shake Amazon Down For $53 Million In Sales Tax
It is quite a challenge to keep up with the thousands of different tax rates in the country. That's why there are companies that specialize in keeping track with what the tax rate is at every address in the country, and their services are used by many companies with a multi-state presence (think large retailers like Target or service providers like Verizon Wireless). I don't think this boils down to it being too difficult for Amazon to keep up with constantly-changing tax rates; instead I think it's either Amazon wanting to maintain the "pricing advantage" they have by not collecting sales tax, or some executive there has it in his/her head that they shouldn't be required to collect taxes so they're being a dick about it.
