After 2 hours on the phone i managed to bargain my way from 30.99€ to 20.99€ monthly for my Internet service.
I feel a strange sense of accomplishment...
I wish I lived in a culture that still worked on the bartering system. You people in Portugal have it good.Originally Posted by Archangel
I also want to live where people could ride bikes everywhere instead of driving cars.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I did it by working the system you tool >_>
You need to learn to take a compliment.
I did a similar thing when I called AT&T about a potential fee before I signed up for their Uverse service. They ended up waiving the fee for 6 months, so I saved $60 from a 5 minute phone call. Previous to that, I called them to cancel internet service because I was unhappy with their service and ended up getting half-off monthly service for 6 months, a $105 savings.

Finding out that someone broke into my car while I was walking my dogs, who stole a total of 2.34$, a half pack of pack of menthol cigarettes, and a Dir En Grey CD I got from their Family Values tour with Korn. The part that made me smile was the police officer who told me the suspect dropped their wallet full of ID in my car while rummaging through my backseat; Karma for the win >

So did you get it all back?Finding out that someone broke into my car while I was walking my dogs, who stole a total of 2.34$, a half pack of pack of menthol cigarettes, and a Dir En Grey CD I got from their Family Values tour with Korn.

Stupid people who steal with ID.. reminds me of the guys who broke into our shop at 3am to steal.. then reversed their car towards the front of the shop to make moving goods easier. Because of that, the camera got their registration plate (and the car wasn't stolen).

I just gave the student I mentioned in this post a "job" helping me organize my classroom, file papers/assignments, and do light grunt-work while I let her listen to music and chat to her about life while getting some work done after school myself.
She's really grateful but could totally make more money working part time for minimum wage. I can't pay her much but I really need the extra help.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I didn't get my stuff back unfortunately, but it wasn't a big loss on my part anyway I'm just glad I didn't leave my phone oranything in the car it could have been much worse. It just brightens my day to know how dumb some criminals are
She may not make as much as she would at another job, but atleast she got to choose her own boss, doesn't have to deal with "customers", and if she were to strive for a teaching/substitute position after post-secondary education it would look good mon her resume. Its a win-win for both of you in my opinion.

By coincidence, I got escorted home from lab for about 10 blocks by about 600 raging 99 percenters and 40 cops. I was all, 'inb4 tazed bro'.
No one got tazed.

Yeah, today was a big event for OWS. I'm kind of upset that I wasn't able to attend.

I babysat for my Spanish teacher for a number of years. The memories! <3

I tutored the son of my teacher for half a year. That was... interesting..

Did anythinginappropriateinteresting actually happen?
Peace.
When did gotwoot turn this gay? No, seriously.
No, no.. (I lied).. it was actually quite boring. It just felt weird, even if she's a language teacher and I was tutoring physics and chemistry/maths. It just felt weird having a monetary relationship with a teacher.

I can't believe I misread 'son' as 'child.' I am not interested in knowing what the ellipsis in Buff's post meant anymore.
EDIT: posted this before I read the comment from Buff above.
Peace.
Yes because being interested before was completely reasonable.
I just wanted to clarify. It has nothing to do with being reasonable (appropriate/right/whatever you wanna call it) or not.
Peace.
