No matter what the circumstances, you will be a better human being living in a better world if you call her out.

Whether it's intentional or not, you are totally getting Milgramed.

My Freshman year, I had a programming teacher who kept mixing up #FFFFFF and #000000.

That's right: she literally didn't know black from white.

Your point is made slightly more amusing by the fact that you just switched up the order there yourself.

A quick check on Wikipedia shows that the Golden Ratio is represented by the Greek letter phi, which is probably where the confusion on that point comes from.

Yea, but phi and pi don't sound alike.  At least they don't around here.  Maybe the art teacher has a more classical pronunciation of phi.

I am not suggesting the art teacher got messed up because she heard the word used.

The Canada Post mail carriers.

Every time I get something that isn't in an envelope I get one of these door hanger notices with "No Answer" checked on it. Even when I'm home.

I picture the mail carrier sneaking up to the door, gently tapping on it twice, quietly counting to three and then making a run for it.

Oh, I've had the US Postal Service do that to me countless times too, Buge.  Fucking pricks.

Half the time, if they don't have to deliver anything, they won't actually check the mailbox when the flag's up either.  Motherfucking pricks.

USPS has just left "no answer" notices inside my mailbox.  Once I watched them NOT get out of the truck to try and deliver the package.

A scythe is not an axe. It is not a pick. It is an awkward-ass thing to kill a sucker with, and is in fact barely equal to the task of cutting plants.

I'd at least like to see the middle handle used.

IT IS SCARY BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS HUMAN HELPLESSNESS AGAINST DEATH

Also I am personally pissed off with scythes because I played DQ8 recently and forgot that it's not final fantasy, so I specced the thiefy dude for scythes so he could steal shit. Such a bad move.

We have this problem with Royal Mail in the UK. The reason it happens here is because the postmen need specific training to deliver packages. If your house is being served by someone who isn't yet qualified to carry packages, you'll just get a slip telling you they tried to deliver and you were out. The package they "tried to deliver" was never actually in their possession.

Why they need training to carry a damn box is anyone's guess, although I can imagine that if I started a job and was expected to lug 100kgs of packages around a few blocks I'd probably want special equipment or at least to be told how to do it without ending up in a wheelchair after six months.

There's what you said, and--well, I don't know if you have any experience with the USPS, but they aren't exactly gentle when it comes to delivering packages.  In fact, it seems like putting a "fragile" sticker on one is more like an invitation to throw it around as if it were a fucking beach ball.

I've been waiting on a package for about five weeks now and I'm hesitant to blame the merchant because it's entirely possible that our mailman's degenerate subhuman instincts compelled him to bury it in the snow. I guess we'll find out in the spring.
