I worked in remote areas, so remote that there were no stores and one enterprising man ran a store out of his home. He would drive to town, the nearest was 25 miles away, half of which was a dirt road, an hours drive, he would return with filled tanks of propane, cases of beer and groceries according to lists the neighbors provided. There was no medical, fire suppression, schools, mail or police they took care of themselves as best they could the nearest post office held the mail in ‘general delivery’ and they could pick up for the entire town! They did have phone service, barely!

Lived in a house where the nearest shop of any description was a 20min drive away. Really annoying when you just fancied a bar of chocolate in the evening. Good for dieting though!

We no longer have that here, it was my favorite afternoon program. Yes, I'm old.

Nope, actually never think about supermarkets but always think what kind of weird stuff is going or could be happening inside (too much crime podcasts)

You can plan your shop. I'm more interested in the kind of broadband, Internet access they might have.

My county in California is not densely populated so there are plenty of houses not near a supermarket or even a little country market.

That's why we have cars. Yes, I used to live in the country in the middle of nowhere.

Yes, and I wonder what kind of dangerous weirdo wants to live in the middle of nowhere; and I make sure to stay out of their way.

We appear to be in the middle of nowhere, but have a walmart within twenty minutes in each direction...

No. I'm bewildered why this question is even asked here. I lived in the middle of nowhere for seventeen years. You plan ahead like a normal person 🤷🏻♀️

There’s a CVS half a block from me and a grocery store two blocks away. No planning!!! Mwahahaha!

That probably saves him from a heart attack. That is waaaay too much caffeine. This is coming from a person who used to drink a large coffee with 2 to 3 shots of espresso added.

I liked anything multiplied by 9 since if you took the individual digits in the answer and added them up they were also 9 (or a multiple of 9) e.g. 14x9 = 126, 1+2+6 = 9

Embarrassingly whenever someone with an accent talks to me I tend to unwittingly talk back to them in that same accent.

25yrs ago I sent an email from my school account out to every other student, staff member, and board of education member for the city of Glasgow, outing a dude who was dating a friend, but hitting on me and secretly dating 2 other girls at 2 other schools. The email system was supposed to be used for within your school only, but they hadn't blocked off the address book for every other person on the city's public school system. Thousands of people saw a huge list of his lies and antics, complete with photos. All the girls dating him got the email and dumped him, he became a laughingstock and everyone ostracized him, even his parents, he had to spend Xmas and New Years hiding at his sisters house. They blocked off email access between the schools after that.

I don't think I've ever cheated in a quiz, but I am still annoyed about one where the question was 'what can you do to get maximum juice out of a lemon?' and I answered both rolling the lemon on the table before juicing and putting in the microwave. One of the people on my team, a first year pastry chef disagreed about the microwave and only said rolling it and the rest of the team went with his answer. Microwave was correct and I'm still pissed we lost that point.

Called my manager with an update as I was stuck in traffic on my way in as the motorway was closed. Usually takes me 30min to get to work. After 90 mins, I was still only halfway there. She told me to stop and get a coffee. I have a great manager!

Great singer and has some fine work out there, and one of my favourites. But sadly it was a power boat at high speed not a jet ski (in a designated diving area) The Mexican justice system leaves a lot to be desired... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsty_MacColl

I love going to supermarkets in other countries. The deli tells me what you want me to think you eat, the supermarket tells me the truth.

I know a mum and daughter who lived together and were told by numerous people that they should go on Goggle box because of how they comment on shows. The daughter didn't want to and the mother has since died, but I think they would have been well liked. I also amuse myself and my sister with my commentary, but I know that it is only funny to us. Our friends never found any of our in jokes/answers to cards against humanity prompts funny and just thought we were really weird. :)

Leap years (and the 11 day difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars) were actually the result of the Vatican observatory seeing that the sun wasn't at the same point every year - they had a hole in the wall and where the light ray landed on a set day was no longer where it had been.
