@northsouthdenimguy ironically if our suburban was cooled with an industrial chiller plant I could have probably bribed a few of our techs at work with Pendleton and Busch light to fix it for me

Bought a new fridge for the garage. The packaging looked completely fine on arrival, but later I noticed that the housing has a crack. Now they say they can only pick it up again if it’s repacked…
I was so happy when it arrived though because it’s bright red, crazy how much color can play a role

6-7 months out of the year, it is extremely peaceful where I live. You can walk outside and hear animals often sighting them as well. With this being the long weekend, every weekend cottager is here and all hell breaks loose until the end of the season often until late September or early October. I know I shouldn’t complain as I’m grateful for what I have, but hell…
The biggest issue is that people who would never behave badly in their own neighbourhoods, act like complete arses whilst at their weekend getaways.

Feck, absolutely feck, I can totally relate

@goosehd I used to live in Lahaina, Maui. I can't tell you the number of times I wanted to test how long a tourist could hold their breath under water after watching them harass the turtles while swimming or hearing them talk disrespectfully to an elder local.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@Go-For-Chill …kind of related: I was in Turks and Caicos on vacation when I saw a man exiting the water with a sea turtle in hand. I yelled and was about to get seriously ugly when his partner explained that they were doing pregnancy checks and tagging turtles.
Zero tolerance for harassing wildlife…
-
@Go-For-Chill did you see recent news (maybe a week or two) of some dumb tourist who threw a rock at a monk seal on Maui? Guy got it handed to him. Locals tracked him down and gave him cracks. Now he’s being federally charged for harassing an endangered animal.
-
@RoxRocks86 saw that and so happy for that response. I applaud those locals…
-
@RoxRocks86 I did! There was another video of a local councilman saying he doesn't condone violence BUT he thinks the airlines should show the video of the guy getting his lickings on all incoming flights so that tourists know how seriously the locals take their nature. Pretty grand idea if you ask me.
-
@Go-For-Chill most definitely…respect the locals, traditions, and environment or get bent.
-
100% Everyone been saying that airlines/tourism industry should be more proactive in showing informative videos of how to be respectful of the place you’re visiting before landing. This should be a standard for every place where tourism is high.

Wasn’t it Jean Paul Sartre who quoted “He’ll is other people”
Can totally relate!
