Snaggletooth Posted June 20, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 20, 2012 When you wanted to get ahold of a friend you rode over to their house and did burnout in their driveway so they came outside. "Social Networking" was hearing the sound of another bike hitting redline and following it until you caught up. Maybe that was just my neighborhood.

SilvrT Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted June 20, 2012 people could actually add, subtract, multiply and divide mentally or at worse with a pencil and paper. I don't know how it is in the USA but here in Canada, we have Loonies ($1 coins) and Twoonies ($2 coins). When we pay for something and get change back, the clerks separate them from the rest of the change and pass them to us with the bills so ... they hand us some small coins and then plop the bills ontop of that and then the friggin loonies and twoonies and it gets really annoying because before you realize it, everything is sliding off your hand. It really PO's me. Why they can't hand the coins first, which fit nicely in your palm and then the bills, is beyond me. oh yeah... and they don't count your change back to you like they used to do in the old days ... as a form of ensuring the right change is given... it's just *plop* ... here's your change .... and we're never certain if they gave the right amount or not unless we count it ourselves. What a perfect system to rip people off! (rant off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
