I've heard it's nothing but another name for nothing left to lose.
I don't know anyone personally that got a check yet except my 99 year old grandmother.

My deceased grandmother received a check. Mailed to my aunt as she is the one that had to file taxes for her the year of her death.

Went to Lowes last week to buy curtains and curtain rods for my new place. I have to special order the shorter curtains for my smaller windows. No problem, and they come in a couple days later. I go back in today because I need to order more, and even bring a package of them with me:
Her: Scans item - Sir, this isn't one of our items
Me: It was a special order item
Her: Scans item - Its not coming up, did you order it online or in store?
Me: I literally ordered it from a lady at the computer next to you
Her: Scans item again - Are you sure you didn't order it at Home depot sir?
Me: I haven't even been to a Home Depot since I moved here last week
Her: I don't know what to tell you sir but this isn't one of our items, you had to have gotten it from some where else
So I drive home, grab all the curtains I bought, can't find the receipt but they can print one out no problem. I arrive back at Lowes half an hour later, same lady is at the desk still
Her: Oh I figured it out, it is one of our items! (Yeah no shit, I literally told you it was a special order item. I also didn't hear an apology there)
Me: Can you print out the receipt for when I bought them on 5/3?
Her: *Has issues printing out receipt for 10 minutes, and I still never hear an apology* Would you like to purchase more sir?
Me: Nah, but I'll be returning these, thanks
TLRD: Lowes people can't order me their own items, insist I don't know where I order shit, and can't even apologize, and make me waste time driving back and forth and then going to Home Depot for what I actually need.

Anyone at a register is usually an idiot. People in specific places, like plumbing etc, a lot of times have experience in the field or at least know their products.

Yeah, electric duder in HD saved me when I was installing my EV car charger- my panel was out of expansion slots, so I was going to buy some high amp things and run them to a break out box and then put in what I needed for the EV and what I had to replace to put in the large amp things...
I showed him a picture of my electrical panel and was like "I want to do (what I just said above)" and he was like "Okay, you can buy all this stuff and how you showed me and what you want to do is fine and will work.... OORR... use these and then, these..."
Basically they had a "thin" version of a 220w that I had a "big" version of- so it gained me two slots that I then could use for the EV - sounds DUH now, but it never occurred to me- I was thankful to the guy and he said that they most likely did not have thin ones when my panel was set up etc.

I had a conversation today with a developer, and he was apparently typing in words into a translator before speaking to me. It was one of the most excruciating conversations I've had at my company in a long, long time. What I took away from it... he didn't actually do anything because he relied on someone else, and he "wants the same things the company does" (whatever that means), but can't accomplish them because he doesn't have such and such supporting him anymore. Rrrriiiight. Also, he couldn't answer simple things like, what tools do you use, who else should I speak with.
And the other person I was supposed to meet with today was a no-show, out of the office for 5 days without an OOO or their calendar marked off. That shit is obnoxious.

I had almost the exact same experience dealing with Home Depot when I was returning excess materials after having my floors done. The items even had bar codes on them, but apparently bar codes were tied to multiple items. What the fuck.

I've always had good luck with getting help from Home Depot and Loews. But it was floor walkers, not cashiers. That might be the difference. Seems like most of the floor walkers are former contractors who retired after 30 years or something (when I take time to get to know them). I think it's a job certain people like to take because they can impart their experience onto others when they can no longer actually do the work regularly.

Google to resolve a technical issue. Find a website that provides a link to what commenters say will work. But when I visit the link...

This isn't so much a rustle as it is something I scoffed at. People trying to reconnect with their high school people. Linda, it's been almost 30 years for you. I talk to one person from my graduating class and we weren't even friends back then. All the people complaining about not going to prom or graduation, mother fuckers I didn't go to either of those on purpose. Pretty sure I stayed up late playing Doom 2 or Warcraft 2 and slept in the next day. Fuck high school.

More people get older, more ties they lose, so they end up grasping at some of them they had way back and feel are unfulfilled.
Basically what

To clarify, I didn't go to school with this person. They're ten years older than I am. About them being unfilled is accurate af, though.

Fell asleep with my phone unlocked while watching YouTube videos.
Wife decides to go thru my phone - not a problem, I don't have anything to hide and I'm not offended by her prying, been married now 17 years.
Searches thru my chrome history.
Finds xvideos.
Finds that I only look at lesbian videos.
Criticizes my choice of amateur lesbians over porn stars.
Triggered.
Ps, she fell asleep once with her cell unlocked and I went into her Facebook and put "bread makes me poop" as her status. I guess this was payback.

Yep, that's what you get when you pay people shit, shit employees. I bought an 40v battery mower (love it), but died in less than a year. Took it to Lowes, they had to ship it out. 30 days later, I had to call to find out the status. "Oh we have it back!" Long story short, I had to go drive there 2 more times than necessary because of their screw ups. They let me borrow a display model battery because they lost mine, etc. They finally found it, I drove back again and said I would totally return the other battery at a later date, totally. (I think of it as comp for gas money : P )
