Funny funnies!
Ok... so a tonne of people on my MSN list for the past week or so have been highlighting random statements about Chuck Norris. I thought it started with a personal joke between some of my section-mates at Teacher's College but I quickly discovered that it wasn't just my TC friends that were talking about him... After asking around, I FINALLY got a straight answer as to what the buzz was about...

My biggest question: is it lame that I find the math/science ones the most funny?

Oil Changes
Are you supposed to tip the oil change boys when you go to a 10-minute place like Jiffy Lube? I got my oil changed today and afterwards was asked if I wanted my cabin filter checked (I didn't even know that thing existed!). After the guy spent close to 5 minutes taking the thing apart and putting it back together, I kind of felt like I owed him a tip... But... not knowing the "ettiquette" of the situation, I opted not to tip. My reasons:
a) there were three other guys that worked on my car and I have no idea how they would divvy it up
b) if it wasn't normal to tip the dude, I didn't want him to think I was hitting on him or anything like that...

Underground Parking Stupidity
On Saturday night I went downtown with Amanda to do some shopping at MEC, visit with a friend, and stop at Lone Star for some yummy yummy fajitas! Upon finishing our dinner, we made our way back down to the parking garage where we had left my car. AFter finally locating my parking spot, I realized that I had no idea where my parking ticket was. Luckily I was able to dig through my pockets and find it which helped to avoid an $18.00 fine.
As we neared the exit, I realized that we were in a pretty high-tech parking garage in which we were supposed to park our cars at the side, walk up to a machine, insert the parking ticket, and then pay the required amount. The machine, however, did not accept my ticket... I think the crease in the middle of the magnetic information strip probably had something to do with that ;)
After several attempts to make the machine read it, I decided to press the button for assistance. Shortly thereafter, a security dude came down to take our money manually. When Amanda pulled out her $5 bill, it somehow ripped right down the middle. I laughed and said "that's ok, a little tape can fix that problem" but the security dude very quickly responded with "I'm not taking your ripped $5 bill". Thinking he was joking, I laughed and joked back with him, but he repeated himself firmly and said "No... I'm not kidding... I'm not taking your ripped $5 bill." I responded with "you can't be serious" and tried to tell him that I worked at a gas station for several years and very often had to tape money together for my customers. But this man would not budge. He actually made us give him a *non-ripped* bill, and since we only had a $10, he had to walk back to his office to get us change before we could leave the garage...
Why do people act like such idiots? I mean... really... could he not have taped that bill together for us?
Sheesh...
