Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

For me it is urge to respond to certain questions with "Yer mom."

I know a guy who always used "Your mom" as the answer to all of those questions you'd have to answer correctly to prove it was you when you needed a password reset or whatever.

What street did you live on as a kid? - Your mom.
What's your father's middle name? - Your mom.
What was the name of your first pet? - Your mom.
Etc.

OTOH, it provides a decent real-time litmus test on people’s base level of courtesy. I’ve seen people leave carts- including motorized mobility carts- in handicapped spaces. And behind other shoppers’ cars.

Hell- the last time I went to the grocery, I was walking out of the store with a cart of my own (and leading my Mom in her mobility cart) when the guy directly in front of me yanked his bags out of the cart he was using and just vector off at a 45deg angle towards his car. It was inconsiderate enough that he did it directly in my path, but he did so while his cart was in motion and right at the edge of the entrance ramp adjacent to the main parking lot roadway of traffic. I managed to run ahead of my cart and catch it before it got more than a couple feet into traffic while retaining overall control of my own fully-loaded cart as well. My Legion of Substitute Heroes/Mystery Men moment of the week.

Besides, even if the carts are all corralled, someone has to bring them back to the store, because 99% of the customers aren’t grabbing them from anywhere else. So those employees’ jobs are still safe. And arguably, they themselves are safer, since they’d be spending less time out in the elements, dodging drivers.

The mobility scooters I can excuse. If you need one, I won't fault you for leaving it behind.

I almost died a few years ago, and spent a couple months hospitalized. During the time after I was released I was considered "Temporarily disabled" and one of the biggest things, was just energy. My dad would take me grocery shopping with him because it was good exercise, and in a pretty safe environment. I could lean on the cart for stability, and if I got too worn out I could always take a scooter. I never needed it, but after those shopping trips I'd be exhausted... So I wouldn't fault someone who did.

Also, while I agree the "Job Security" excuse is pretty lame.. Having to recover a scooter is kind of like a break for these poor wagies. They get to sit down and enjoy a nice leisurely scoot back to the store, which I'm sure is a million times preferable to getting yelled at by some jerk customer.

The IL provides me with blissful ignorance. I cannot see it, thus the stupid does not hurt my brain.

Oh and whomever thought of pineapple rolled under the pizza crust... you are unclean.

I'm just upset that I have never thought of this.

Thinking of one of my DM's from a long time ago, who has long since left this mortal coil, and imagining what they'd say about that.

I was kidding about the job security. I do think it is probably not likely to tell you as much as you think about someone's character but I also think it is courteous to put the carts in the corral or at least get them out of the lot so people don't have to move them. With the scooters I think it is understandable that those would be left near the cars as people using them usually have mobility issues

It is funny when typing it into the account sign-up form, but I don't have the personality to every want to say it to some poor support staff on a technical-support call.

But it does inspire me to try to come up with something that would entertain the support staff should I ever need to provide it over the phone. Too tired, however, to think of anything that wouldn't just elicit eye rolls or come off as vaguely creepy.

Any ideas?

Is the Warlock actually the Gish hiding in plain sight all this time?
