It is a public toilet that has a self-cleaning system ; you go in, do your thing and when you close the door on the way out, there is a time when no one else can open it (not long, 2-3 minutes) where it cleans itself. :blink:

But, it can get confused and when you close the door to go in, it thinks you're leaving ... So, it effectively locks you in and hoses you down with a fine mist of anti-bacterial gook. And while you're standing there thinking "wtf !" it is spinning the toilet around at 72 rpm all frothy-like and not even playing a tune ...

:S


Does it at least give you cab fair afterward?

Those things usually cost a bit of money... people, especially families, block the doors in order to pay less and overtime it either damages the sensors or confuse the system...
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I'm stuck working one-on-one with my coworker who, despite being very polite and mostly nice, is extremely racist, ageist, classist, sexist, and just about every other -ist I can think of. When I seem to be shocked by something that she says she just responds with "I'm from China, it's my culture."

To give you a taste, earlier she said "I don't understand why God created black people differently. It seems like He's being unfair to them." :blink:

How am I supposed to converse with a person like this politely?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

Also, I told her that God didn't treat them differently, people did.

Phew! Had to get that out. Thanks. B)

Gosh darn it. Airplane ticket problems can be a big hassle. I don't often have issues, but when I do, I stress so much.

It's weird, I stress so much more at things I can't control than with things I can. hahaha.

What a ridiculous thing to do!

Im sensing some tension in this thread.




:woohoo:


Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me
