The Culver’s I go to about 2-3 times a month rarely screws up my orders anymore. When it first opened up, they messed them up all the time. I check the stuff every single time, if I don’t, they put cheese or some sort of disgusting goop on them and they are trash to me. I thought when the screens appeared to show what…

Grape Nuts aren’t nearly as hard as they used to be. I guess that’s why I stopped eating them. They kind of wussed them up. 

The worst stuff I ever drove in was in March of ‘82, in the Pierre, SD area. We had a new ‘82 Chevy Blazer with great tires, and it had some problems taking off from a stop, and especially stopping, as the top of the snow was melting and refreezing to glass. But the main problems were the dead cattle lying in the…

I haven’t stopped at a rest stop in many years, but I did see some horrible ones back when I did a lot of traveling.

It was a long time ago, so it might not be easily found. I’ll look for it. The story didn’t get much press because something big happened in LA the same night. I can’t remember what it was anymore. I’ll see if my friend has a link to the story.

I was roommates with a guy for a year who besides not being real sharp, was so gullible it was just amazing. At the end of the year, our lease was up and I definitely didn’t want to spend another year living with him in the same apartment. A few years after I moved out, some girl ripped him off for thousands of…

He died at 92, quick and pretty much painless. He had just eaten lunch and told the kid, “Get your mom, something’s wrong!”, and that was it. He was driving and walking the dog 3 miles a day. I wouldn’t mind making it to 92 if I was like he was at that age.

We had a girl who lived down the street from us when I was in jr/high school who was not right, she would do almost anything for fast food and/or cigarettes. Her mom walked into the house one morning to get something she had forgotten to take to work with her, and saw her having sex with some 16 year old kid (She was…

He doesn’t annoy me, I didn’t know this was a thing.

My mother was infamous for getting herself lost and just really being unaware of where she was when driving or just riding. She would also fixate on something happening ahead that had nothing to do with the car she was in at all, but she would slam the brakes on for no reason, and if she was riding, she would grab at…

There are a lot of C8s in the NW Ohio area, and I still haven’t gotten to the point of not muttering, “Is that thing the best GM could do?”. Like the Camaro, it seems purposely made ugly.

I was at the local Pontiac/GMC dealership getting my car worked on. I was talking to the service manager, trying to solve the fuel line issues I had on my car. About 50 feet away, a brand new Sierra 1500 was being lifted for some sort of “adjustment”, and BLAM, it came off and the owner, the service manager, and…

A family friend didn’t know how to do so many things it was shocking. He lived at home, went into WWII, came home, got married, and his wife wrote the checks, cooked, washed, etc. He just made the money. They were married almost 57 years when she suddenly died. He was totally lost for a long time afterwards and would…

A friend of mine and his wife were in the L.A. area on a trip a few years ago, and they stopped to get some cash. The drive through ATM was down, but the walk up one wasn’t. They both went up to it and as soon as they put their card in, some meth’d up walking corpse with a gun popped out of the shrubs and demanded the…

At work we have a client who constantly asks us, over and over again, “Is this really from you/is this legit?”. Some of the emails are from people who barely can type out anything understandable in English, and others are some variation on the “I am an attorney representing the estate of (almost always a very UK…

My step-grandfather was a chef from Switzerland who worked all over the world at some famous places, but his mother locking up all the food every night messed him all up. He hid food all over the place, and would forget about it, and my grandmother found some of it by smell alone. She finally got him to stop hoarding…

I bought a 2 year old ‘79 Trans Am in 1981 from the local Pontiac dealer, who sold it originally. I foolishly bought one of the warranty plans for it, a 2 year one. That was on a Thursday. On Friday afternoon, the car had a short and it blew the fusible link. The dealer towed it in and fixed it, no charge. On Tuesday,…

I’m old and remember when Poptarts came out. I can’t remember anything as disappointing as they were/are, except when we got a sample box of Lucky Charms. One of the lamest cereals ever. I have friends with grandkids and PT’s are almost a required thing to have, and they are still just awful. Hot or room temp, they…

I don’t know what it’s supposedly supposed to taste like. I was floored when I found out about 15 years ago that Circus Peanuts were banana flavored. WTF? I never, ever, thought of bananas when I ate them. I went out and bought a bag of them to see if I was missing something. Nope, not the slightest hint of banana…

A friend of mine loves the buttered popcorn jelly beans. I think he’s insane.
