They advertise because EVERYONE advertises. It’s a way to EVER SO SLIGHTLY defray the cost of giving you that loaner car to use. Do you scrape the make and model labels off your car? If not you’re just advertising for that manufacturer. Heck, most major dealerships put their own thing on the back of your car to match…

That’s kind of assuming God is the cause of everything and everyone gets what they deserve. Big assumptions.

You’re paying for parts and labor to repair your car. Unless the loaner car is somehow also itemized on your bill your argument doesn’t hold up. It’s a free service given to make your life easier. Of COURSE they’re going to advertise.

That does suck. As a consumer, though, I can say that if you didn’t make it clear why she was waiting for so long she can’t be expected to understand. Even a sugar-coated explanation like “Sorry for the wait. We had to make a few phone calls to secure your financing” could leave her thinking “Well, a few phone calls…

I wish there was a way to bring up this article and the linked video 25 years from now when transracial people are just as common and celebrated as transgendered people are now. It seems like another instance of drawing a line in the sand and saying “YOUR line doesn’t go far enough, but anyone who goes farther than my…

I actually kind of agree. I didn’t think it looked all that bad, but I’ve never been as much about looks as I am about the technology. I love the idea of an electric vehicle, or any high-efficiency vehicle for that matter. I even considered buying an Elio vehicle as a commuter car for the low price and fuel…

It’s an EXCELLENT rule of thumb for every situation. Everyone is more inclined to assist someone who is friendly and patient than they are the guy who comes in screaming from the get-go. Even if their company has been nothing but a pain and they are clearly in the wrong, a smile and a quick plea for help goes a long…

My boss and his wife just bought a BMW i3. They brought it in to show it off and one of the guys said (out loud, in front of the boss) “That is one of the three ugliest cars I’ve ever seen in my life.” He immediately regretted it, but to elicit that kind of response I think shows just how truly hideous the thing is.

I used to manage a wedding venue. After literally hundreds upon hundreds of weddings the one common thread I found in all of them is that NO ONE is as impressed by the wedding day as the couple themselves are. They put in a ton of work, mountains of cash, and probably dozens of arguments to plan a single day of their…

Well you weren’t at my wedding and I’m still blissfully married after 9 years and three kids, so your science is sound. Thank you for your service.

If you don’t want to go, don’t go. Send a heartfelt card or something so you don’t come across as a jerk, then just don’t go. Funerals are a commonly accepted way for people to get closure, and sometimes it can be a good way to reconnect with people and reminisce. If that’s not your thing just don’t go. If anyone asks…

My wife’s father, grandfather, and uncle are all dentists. All of them say not rinsing after a brush just leaves a lot of the crap you cleaned off your teeth in your mouth, where it finds its way back onto your teeth. If you want to get fluoride onto your teeth use a fluoride mouthwash after brushing AND RINSING…

Maybe they were actually just busy?

If you want people to take your joke, make a better joke.

7 and shifter, like a man.

So why not have her kids embrace their Lebanese or German background? Is it because Lebanese and German people don’t have a distinct physical characteristic like Asian people do?

I am a blast at parties. Everyone tells me my proper punctuation is the highlight of the night.

Came here to say this. I LOVE Actraiser. Something similar with more modern mechanics would be awesome.

For decades? Yes. Forever? No. Ask anyone under 30 about Waco, TX and they’ll know Chip and Joanna WAY before they mention anything to do with the FBI.
