I'm sure they wouldn't have appreciated it if they knew.

For example...

My uncle/aunt rent the claw machines that allow you to get stuffed animals (regularly found in arcades places) and I found out that the way that thing works is that it has a timer that changes the claws strength. Therefore, if you are playing when the claw is on strong, you are almost guaranteed to get the stuffed animal. In other words, the claw can be weak for 20 min, then switch to strong for 2 min, and then to weak again for 20 min. Those times are adjustable.
this saves me alot of money and time. i swear i thought i was just sorry at it!

- here you go my turn -

any company you work for that has company cars also has gps..and within that gps they have the right to listen to every thing you say - and they do- some even go so far as to keep a small inscription within the car to get away with it legally. I work for the county and found that they are monitoring everything being said.

Lots of gaijin here date Japanese girls.........for a little while. Nearly every one of them eventually breaks up and the usual lingering sentiments was "she was just too much of a headcase!!". One or two Ive known here have worked and in both cases the guy was a pushover who accommodated all her weirdness as in both cases he had zero success with western women in his native country.

Top 3 suicide line comments from NHB:

1. "Tl/dl"

2. "Hahaha" (while browsing sherdog)

3. "Pics or work"

There's lots of traffic charges where you can be arrested.....reckless driving, suspended D.L.'s etc. There is alot of discretion involved where an officer can cite/arrest/warn....If they think you have a serious health issue they certainly don't want you using their pen to sign a ticket or touching their ticket clip board......or having to cuff you and pat you down.

Yep. I was arrested and spent a night in jail for a traffic violation and it wasn't DUI or DWI. I was pulled over doing 35 in a 35 and was sent to jail. Of course the officer didn't like the fact that I was accelerating to that speed as fast as I could, or the fact that I was trying to outrun a similar make/model car with comparable modifications.

Oh, and as far as this thread - I love it. I can't wait to see what the weekday crew has to add. I wish I had something to add, but I work in a very uneventful industry with few dirty secrets. This is the only industry I've worked in.
