Does it hurt as bad as it looks? Cause it looks pretty bad. I should get my back checked out, been having pain there from poor habits. What's the milky white snake going down the center that the disc is mashing into, your spinal cord?
For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
Yeah, it's some pretty spectacular pain. I am pretty much crippled right now.
The white line spanning the back of the spine is the spinal canal. So, essentially yes, it's protruding into and pinching the nerve roots in my lower back.

Aiya, that's awful TTWhat sort of treatment have they recommended for you?
My complaint is just small, but I found out that hiding food in the back of my fridge is NOT equivalent to labelling it with my name. I thought it would be safe for a couple hours when I went out, and I came back intending to eat the delicious half-price pasta salad I bought, but it was gone when I got home and I was sad. I feel like there has been so little food in my house these days that everyone is one the brink of starvation and will eat any small amount of prepared food that appears in the fridge. I'm going to prepare a very large amount of something edible today in such a quantity that there's guaranteed to be leftovers for me to eat tomorrow.
Eat out of only one side of the container. That will confuse them long enough for you to defend it.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Must be indeed quite a cave of starving wolves if the occupants eat any food left unguarded, not only their own. Because I can't imagine KitKat would live with people with no manners or morals, so it must be the hunger driving them to fell deeds.
That used to piss me off. We'd share a food bill back in school, but people would buy stuff I didn't care for. So I'd go out and buy stuff I did enjoy, but those would be the first things to go, and as often as not, they'd be gone before I could eat any.

Just label your food. Is that not enough of a territorial mark for those who share homes?

I eat food that is not mine in the staff house I am staying in right now. I know it belongs to someone else, but they never eat it anyway until it spoils. I hate waste, so I do them and earth a favor by preventing that.
It also helps with the expenses, so it's all good, for me anyway.
I sometimes prepare meals using leftover stuff too (I cooked szechuan pork with cashews for everyone today using common stuff and stuff that is not mine), so I would think that that much would be enough compensation for my occasional thievery.
Peace.
Well back then, we shared the bill. Eventually we did stop doing that as I wasn't the only person with a problem on how the food was consumed. But yeah, if you're going to be sharing a bill, it kind of goes against the spirit of things to label stuff, specially in the quantities I'm talking about.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian

Weird, that never happens to me. Go to a restaurant that splits 1 meal into two and puts it on each side of the table?

Do they seem to mind that you eat their food?
I didn't think I'd be the kind of person to eat others' food, but when I had roommates before, one of them worked for Amway so he always had these juice cartons in the fridge and I would drink 2 or 3 out of every 10. He never complained, but I doubt he was happy about it.

When I first came to NYC I rigidly ignored all of the random people (men) on the street who would holla ( "hi!" "hey beautiful," "you're so beautiful," *whistle* etc) at me. But over the years I've loosened up, and at least offer a smile or nod in return. I'm one of the few people I know in Manhattan who doesn't ignore any and all attempts at transient communication from the locals and tourists.
But I really can't stand the people in NYC who wait a split second after you pass them to holla at you or whistle, because at that point of walking past them you can't really acknowledge them and just keep walking. So it turns into having some perverted coward scream at your back and not really being able to turn around because that's just awkward. And its not like you can individually yell at them for being cowardly because the next day someone is going to do the same thing. :[

They don't even notice it's gone. They are not simply feigning ignorance either, because the last time I mistakenly (I thought it belonged to the person I replaced when I came in) drank a protein drink the owner emailed everyone staying at the staff house complaining about it.
I only get rid of the stuff that will expire anyway.
Peace.
Do you walk past a lot of construction sites?
I think it's nice that you accept compliments and not just walk past with your nose in the air. I wouldn't recommend doing that in some places like Vietnam though, or the street vendors will never leave you alone.

Just convince yourself that they're taking the time to confirm that your ass is as awesome as the rest of you, and that the holla is a nod of approval. That way, you turn a slightly annoying, daily encounter into a regular ego boost. Win-win.

On a related note about greetings, I wish "Welcome" can be used in English like it's used in Japanese. It saves having people going like:
Me: How are you going today?
Customer: Crap. But you don't really care do you?

Ever try just saying, "Hello,"?
If you are contractually required to say more than that, go with, "Hello, can I help you find anything?"
That said, I'm a big fan of responding to "How is it going?" with a negative, then waiting for the "Good!" auto-reply. It lets you know right away they weren't expecting anything but "Good!" or "Fine," and that they weren't going to listen to your reply in the first place, because they really don't care about anyone's well being when they use that particular greeting. It's also the reason I shifted my standard greeting to, "Mornin'." [With, "Afternoon." and "Evening." as applicable.] That way, "How goes it?" is reserved for people I legitimately give a shit about.
Re: Hello - a bit too short? :P
Re: Hello, can I help you find anything? - when they're bringing stuff to the counter it sounds even more like an automated answer.
I'll try mixing in those (amongst others) every now and then to see what works though..
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
"What can I help you with?"
"What assistance do you need?"
"How can I be of help to you?"
"What's your concern/issue?"
I think "Hi there", and the applicable greeting that varies on the time of day works best from Ryllharu's suggestion works best too. Since you're a pharmacist and people come to you, you just have to say something minimal to indicate that you're ready to help the next person. That's really all you have to say.
