I would just say "Fuck it", and eat the difference… But I'm poor... (Read: just bought two UHFs and going to the Dolle Brouwers tomorrow to pick up two boxes of Oerbier Special Reserva 2015...)

[rocket]

might be cheaper to pay in a currency you have funds available in your account Seul. Sent it over fam & friends and your happy seller transfer the amount later in the wanted target currency to his bank account. Should be less than 3%, I believe…

[Seul]

Yeah but then I'd need to withdraw the money to have it as funds…

Anyway: I get the UHFs, Paypal the money, and Nomad the chocolate. We all fucking win 

[rocket]

Yeah you're right would only work if you have balance available in your PP account, sry.

Sure the UHFs will reward you

There was a time when I had PayPal balances in dollars, euros, and yen, for exactly this sort of crap. Didn't like PayPal tying up my money like that, though.

I really fucking hate people who leave their dogs in their cars with the AC off and the windows up while they grocery shop.

Then someone has to break their window.

And then, anything worth doing is worth overdoing…

^ This. I once spent a good 20 minutes humiliating some twat who did this in front of a large crowd of people. He came back to his car just as someone was trying to break into it to help his poor Labrador and went nuts at the guy, dogs are a love of mine and idiots are not…..he won't be doing it again.

In the U.K. We have to call the RSPCA, I have had some bad experiences with their responses to strays I've picked up so I won't chance a dogs life on that.

Here in Texas, we invariably have a story every summer about this happening.  With an infant.

[rocket]

same for Germany, but mainly with little children, even without a close follow to the news, there is at least one of this …....... happening every damn year...

…in a Walmart parking lot...

[neph93]

I just don't understand how that thing with kids in parked cars even gets close to happening. I wouldn't leave a child under the age of 6 alone in a car in the first place and even then I'd make sure s/he knew how to get out.

moderation is for cowards..

anyway. my rant..

[Snowy]

^Have had 4 this year, so fecking annoying

[louisbosco]

it's extremely annoying. looking at the size of it, highly doubt it can be patched..

[DougNg]

I bought the tire insurance when I bought my last car. I don't even think about it anymore.

[DougNg]

Btw, there was at least one case this year of a mom leaving her kid in the car for 8 hours while she was out clubbing. The kid didn't make it.

[DougNg]

Here's another one:

If you describe my dogs as "scary" or "an aggressive breed", I reserve the right to point out your offspring are shit eating little monsters that will not amount to anything in life.

Currently feeling frustrated with USPS holding my package up in no man's land. Bought something via Fleabay and my package has been stuck in pre-shipment for the last 2 days. If my package doesn't show movement come Monday i'm gonna have to contact the seller and see if they can see what the hold up is.

[Seul]

Two days?.. Two days ?.. Relax will ya!.. I'm currently dealing with MyHermes… Shipped four days ago, no updates, and they tell me "The delivery date of your parcel should be no later than 27/07/2017"... Shipped 300 miles from me... It's like a slapstick movie with a drunk chap in a van driving in slow motion...
