hmm, what's that crazy dev been up to anyway? Well good question, I think I'll address that now!

So I was trying to think of more crazy theories or 'hypothosises' on just dumb stuff in life mainly because I find it really amusing. So here's another one that I came up with when I was working last saturday at blockbuster (or as Ryan calls it "Everyone bitch at Ryan" day).


The "You must be atleast THIS smart to receive this" Rule

The rule is pretty much explanatory in itself. Crap, if I had the ability to put picture on here, I'd totally make one for this theory. But the premise behind this one is that dumb ppl are given things that they don't deserve too often. I'll give you an example (long story)..:

While I was working last saturday, a woman comes up to my till with her rentals. So when I total them up, she tells me she has a giftcard she wants to use. Seeing if she knew what balance was left on the card, she of course being stupid and all, did not. Now at blockbuster, if we don't know exactly how much is left on a gift card, we have to have the person scan it and check, so kind of a trial run that is only for the purpose of checking the balance. Before I go on, you have to imagine that it's just me on the floor while Ryan has long since gone home, and my manager is in her office. Ok so back to the story..... She swipes the card like a dumbass not listening to my advice of "Follow the instructions, and it'll tell you when to swipe on the machine". So that makes me have to do the command all over again (Strike One). Once everything is finally done right, I tell her that she has 1.45 left on the account. So I put that balance for the next transaction, trying to drain the rest of the card. So she swipes it to supposedly take off the remaining amount (or so it was supposed to be for that purpose). And once the receipt prints out, it says that the card has 8.55 left on the card! I'm just thinking HOW THE HELL DOES THAT WORK?! When she suddenly whipped out her OTHER gift card. The next thing you know, she has two cards in her hands. So I'm thinking "Great, now there's 2 cards with partial balances.." So I tell her to put the original one through the swiper so I can finally take all of the friggin balance off! Of course by that time, idiot woman doesn't know which is which, and she ends up swiping the wrong card YET AGAIN!!!! So we go through about 3 more swipes until we take off all of the balances off both cards successfully... And by then there's a huge line that's formulated behind her at the checkout. GREAT....

Anyhow, my solution to such problems would be to have a qualifying question just before vendors are going to hand a product out that requires intelligence to operate. Such as the sine of Pi over 4. Or something to that extent. Friggin stupid ppl.....

I had a whole bunch of other things that I was thinking about, but now I forget a majority of them. Hmm one of them was how to keep a person entertained while getting a haircut. I'm thinking of this because I just had a half an hour haircut myself, and I was reduced to making funny faces in the mirror (which I think everyone does) or closing my eyes when hair could have gotten into my eyes. So I was thinking, music would not work because ppl would bob their head to the beat too much thus ruining the haircut itself. But I was also thinking that a movie would work quite well! The person would be entertained, and the barber could tell the person to pause whenever they needed him/her to.

Anyhow that's my spiel for today. I hope it's been entertaining...
