Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Absurd practices you've seen.

Honestly they are mostly absurd, but I'm talking the practices put in place for our apparent protection that are just plain ridiculous. For example, our town has 3 grocery stores. One of them will bag your purchases as usual and provides bags, the other will not bag them for you and insists you bring your own bag, and the last forbids you from bringing your own bag, you can bag your purchases with one they provide.So safety.

The local McD's will not give you your drinks without a tray if you order more than 2 drinks. Somehow taking both drinks and placing them in a holder is super safe, handing them to a customer is not.

Most of the local stores that were graciously permitted to remain open shortened their hours considerably, but made no attempts to limit the amount of people coming into the store. So, since there was a smaller window in which to shop, people piled into the stores to make their purchases. Totally unforeseeable. Oh yeah, nobody died either....weird.

It was pretty obvious right near the beginning that a lot of these stores were simply doing things in order to be seen to be doing something. It had nothing to do with actually keeping people safe, basically a corporate form of virtue signaling far as I can tell.

What other over the top nonsense have you seen out there? There seems to be no upper limit to peoples stupidity with this thing, so there must be some good ones.

From renegade's self checkout thread:



No control over who's touching the buttons?

Easier with half shut down to "disinfect" the ones being used? (do they even attempt it?)

weird times, one store in town says if you bring your own bags to leave them in the cart............don't put them on the conveyor. Bag the goodies yourself. But that doesn't stop some runny nosed kid from reaching up and pawing the belt, counter, card machine, etc? But they have a plexiglass screen in front of where you talk to the pretty girl ringing up your food. (don't tell anyone, I handled a good dozen cantaloupe trying to find 2 good ones)

Another store a quarter mile away doesn't even want you to bring your bags in, have to use their bags (paper or reusable plastic), which they are not charging for. So they're "safe" from anything you bring in on your bags...............but, they don't even have the plexiglass goodies.

Local Rez gas station gives away a coffee or fountain drink with a fill-up. Stopped the other day, went in to pee, asked if they were still doing it. Yep the gal says. I look over, no cups, straws, napkins, creamers, etc on the fountain counters. She asks me what I want and says she has to pour it for me, that way folks aren't touching all the stuff.

All this crap must be working................our county still doesn't have a case of ...The Corona.

anything that negroes do to their cars

Fugging chinese
Fugging every fugging thing up.

#neutronbombbejing

Guy walking down a rural road wayyyy alone wearing a mask.

Does his county have a case of The Corona yet?

If not................he's helping and it's working!

Same fuggin K-Roger's also closed 2 of 3 exits/entrances [one of which made life real easy for quick trips and had 2 hidden self checkouts somewhat hidden].

So now everybody is herded in through one entry and one exit.

And then FoodLion, bastages put all of the small carts in storage somewhere so you have to use the massive carts.

It's a conspiracy!

Meskins cooking and their attire

Yah, success! A model citizen....

There are way too many exposed hairy nipples and shoulder blades in many ethnic kitchens.

Owen Nolan (former NHL player) posted in Twitter today, that he took his son golfing. They live together, drove the car to the golf course together, and would be golfing together... but they weren't allowed to ride outdoors in the same golf cart together.

Stupid.

1. An African American woman and her offspring wearing clear trash bags as shirts along with latex gloves and dust masks at Wal-Mart. They were so busy trying to social distance from everyone in a practically deserted store that momma hit an end cap display and knocked everything onto the floor in order to avoid me. 2. (Pre-Rona) but still good, saw an African American girl who resembled Precious eating baby powder from the shaker. Lips over the top and tap and squeeze. Schit you not.

This has pissed me off more than anything else about all this BS. Have not gone to Costco since May 3rd, last day they let you in without a ninja mask. Now they require it. I take a picture of every Sam's Club receipt and send it to Costco telling them this could have been their money. I am cancelling my membership June 1 if they don't get over themselves. I won't wear something to make other people "feel" better. I can't and don't go through life worrying about the opinions of strangers that are in no way based in fact. Which is what these policies are all about: feelings.

That scarf on your face and that plexiglass won't keep you or the cashier safe from all the items you both touched before leaving the store. Or the gloves the cashier has been wearing for 3 hours. Or the conveyor belt that hasn't been sanitized since close of business yesterday. Insanity.

Did you ever get to see him play live in SJ?

One of my favorite players. Some might say a shining example of what a hockey player should be.

Back on topic, for the majority of my life I have thought rules to be unimportant, some even hilariously illogical................


that is all rules except the ones I make up.

Probably can be said of the Amish too?

Well, maybe not, them gals keep pretty well clothed and any respectable Old Order fella would never be caught working in a kitchen. Fixin' something in his overalls without a shirt maybe.

Scheidt, I forgot all about the little arrows on the floor of one of the groceries in town. I don't follow the arrows in parking lots, why would they think I would follow them down the aisles in the store?

Truck stop down the road from me won't let me bring in a travel mug and fill it. Nobody is going to touch the mug but me yet they want me to get one of the Styrofoam cups from a stack that anyone can touch or sneeze on. That makes NO sense to me.

PREZACTLY! Stupidest schitt I’ve ever seen. 😡

Are you calling me AMISH???

Yes, had season tickets for 3 or 4 years in college, would drive down from Chico for every game. Owen Nolan was a PREMIER power forward, the epitome of what a power forward should be: offensively gifted, gritty, tough, able to drop the gloves. He could score 2 goals, have an assist, and spend 17 minutes in the penalty box, all in one game.

He, along with Clowe, Sturm, Marleau, Falloon, and Makarov are some of my all time favorites. Die hard Sharks fan. I never miss a game.
