In life, we all get our chance to shine, like nailing an important presentation at work or leading the football team to victory. Such highs make us want to share our joy with everyone. On the other hand, we also have those embarrassing moments—searching for our keys while holding them or misplacing our groceries.
On such occasions, our common sense takes a backseat, and our brain refuses to function—a brain fart, if you will. But don’t worry, you are not alone. Sometimes, people are hilariously clueless and naive and thankfully, someone captured it on camera.
To help you momentarily forget your goof-ups and lift your spirits, Bored Panda has collected a list of silly things that people have said and done.

Blaming Young People For Being Triggered
Same sidewalk, cemetery, church, school, neighborhoods, department stores, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, colleges etc.etc.etc. Even though those institutions are supported by Black taxes, so yeah...Black people have always subsidized white people by white people giving themselves the majority of the handouts. White people benefit from Black taxes
For non-American Pandas - this was NOT all of the USA. Jim Crow laws were state and local laws and were in the SouthEAST (sorry, typo) areas of the United States. I lived through the 60s and had never heard of them. My parents probably had but I was a little boy. Point being I was never taught to treat a black (or any other 'not white' ) person any differently than I would another white person.

SOME people wouldn't share a bathroom or drinking fountain with someone of a different skin color, but a whole lot of us didn't care and shared. Some Americans embraced the mid-20th century and some refused to leave the middle of the 19th century. And even after legislation banished the tattered remains of the 19th century, some sections of the country still linger there in the shade of a Spanish-moss draped myth.
Do people know that libs want segregated bathrooms, doorms, communities again now? So how is this reply a "burn" when its happening again?

I don't think this one belongs here. The clerk was following rules and the young lady was creatively maliciously complying.
It may be a bank rule, but banks are providing less and less services for their customers.

Yeah but she wanted to make it hard on the employee since she was annoyed with the rule

Now that's hilarious 🤣🤣 Had a girl in the airport show me her Arabic tattoo that she said meant 'beautiful Queen' it actually said 'the big cow' البقرة الكبيرة. She googled the translation no one did it for her, the tattooist just tattooed it
Have you ever been in a situation where you randomly blank out or end up doing something silly, and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the world of brain farts – those awkward moments when our mind stops functioning, leaving us confused and sometimes embarrassed.
Our brains are incredibly complex organs, capable of processing vast amounts of information efficiently. But they experience hiccups from time to time, or 'cognitive dysfunction'.
It's Just Sad

It is not socially accepted by anyone with a three digit IQ.
Load More Replies...To be fair, same caller might also have called in a suspicious looking white person. Some people are paranoid of everyone. And there have been cases of white people dressing as cops to commit crimes.
The question is would they have called in a white person "in police clothes", though. My guess would be NO.
Load More Replies...Yet the same people who made that call in the night will tell you earnestly "Blue lives matter" in the daytime.

The first step is to recognize it. The second one is "Pay me more damnit!"
Load More Replies...You don't have to be poor to thrift. It's so much better to buy quality used clothes than whatever this instant fashion crappy cheap clothes that fall apart after one wear.
And you are giving thrift purchases a second life - instead of ending up in a landfill
Load More Replies...Also, normalize the reusing unwanted things is OKAY. I've gotten some clothes at garage sales / thrift but don't find as much in my size. But I've gotten a LOT of non-clothing things used. Practical things like my current toaster and many yard tools but also lots of cool things - wood carvings and nifty collectables. Stuff where people say, "That's really cool" and want to know where I got it. Also - I've donated brand new clothing to thrift stores and clothing banks because I changed sizes (code for old me getting fat - lol ). Also 'gently used'. So whoever got that stuff was getting 'used' clothing that still had the tags on.
Had a client complain that we obviously pay our staff too much given the juiced up classic cars and 4 wheel drive cars in our parking lot. I worked in transport logistics, go figure truck drivers would be passionate about their wheels. Most lived in small homes or trailer parks cos....hobbies is big rigs and big cars and that's where the bulk of their pay went, derr.
Start an in-office donation for the thrift shop. He would be apoplectic.
Double my salary and I'll stop telling people that. Triple it, and I'll stop shopping there!
"I'll buy all of my clothes at House of Bijan in Beverly Hills, if I can send the bill to you, boss."
I got fired for doing that in the mid-90s. A woman in my neighborhood was throwing away about a dozen lovely dresses because she's lost weight. I happened to be walking by and she offered them to me for free. I mentioned at work how I got them. I was fired the next day, wearing another of the rescued dresses.

Load More Replies...A brain fart, which can be linked to cognitive dysfunction, perfectly describes those instances when our mental processes seem to malfunction. Thankfully, many of these glitches are quite common and easy to manage.
We can hit a roadblock when our stress levels skyrocket or we are exhausted. This causes our attention to waver and our memory to play hide-and-seek. Picture this: you're working late in the night, trying to finish a last-minute project, and you keep reading the same paragraph over and over again, unable to understand a word of it.
It is hard to concentrate when our brains are pushed to the limit. In order to recharge our batteries, we should indulge in relaxing activities or hit the gym. This will not only soothe our soul but also help kick stress to the curb.

This makes no sense to me. If they did an image search and found the art on the student's page wouldn't they have recognized the name? Neither of them? I don't know any professor that finds possible plagiarism on the internet who doesn't investigate the site where they found it. It's a very rough conversation to have and you need to be sure about it.

$15 Tacos
I don’t get the Taco Bell joke..I eat Taco Bell all the time and never s**t lol. Maybe I’m just weird
Load More Replies...What's the price of a burger or burrito in a country which has a liveable minimum wage? Yes, exactly, nowhere near that price.
The internet tells me the average Taco Bell does $1.6 million in annual sales. If payroll cost went up by 100k they'd need to increase revenue 6.25%, making that $3.79 burrito cost $4.27. Price it at $4.29 and hardly anyone will b***h, and the owner gets another 8k in annual revenue. Fast Food prices in Europe aren't much different than US prices.
Load More Replies...The general consensus on the internet is that Taco Bell franchise owners don't even make 100k as an average. If they're open 12 hours a day every day that's 4380 hours. That's 8760 hours per year if they have 2 employees working all the time. Another $2/hr is $17,520 just for payroll.Then there's a bit over $1080 for the employer's share of social security. Workman's comp is probably similar. That would make a $2/hr raise cost the owner 20% of their pre-tax income, and there are probably other costs that go up with the hourly wage. That said, average gross income for a franchise is $1.6 million, so 20k in additional expense is 1.25%, or another 5 cents on a $3.99 burrito. I'm also puzzled that average income is so low. When I worked at a McDonald's a very long time ago the owner was making about 100k.
Load More Replies...People act like there aren't countries that pay a livable minimum wage, w mandatory at least 30 days off, universal healthcare, free college, and better social programs wo making it difficult for the normal person. It's amazing what can happen when the rich pays its fair share in taxes.
Odd, you can order one from my Taco Bell at $4.89, one for $4.99 and they have one for $5.79. I live in a town of less than 50K people. I don't think this is the most expensive TB burrito in DC. I get the message intent, I just don't think that is factual.

New?? I've been using it since the 90's. Way to brag about how stupid you are! Outlook isn't exactly brain surgery.
I’ve been using it for 5 years and it wasn’t hard to learn at all 😅 Definitely not rocket surgery, if you can use any other email you can use Outlook! There’s tons of tutorials too!
Load More Replies...This just creams to me "I actually got fired because I have bad time management."
If you can't understand Outlook and you are proud of it, you shouldn't be allowed in public unsupervised, let alone vote or drive a car. (I'm speaking about the average urban person who works in an office or shop, i. e. white collar workers).
Seems to me that when I first started getting and sending email Outlook was the bees knees in email.
Irish TV Weather used Outlook in the 50s - EG "Rainy today further OUTLOOK, little change".
In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, staying focused can be difficult. One moment of distraction, and bam! our train of thought derails, leaving us wondering where it all went wrong. That's the magic (or rather, the mischief) of a brain fart, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it, turning our well-laid plans into hilarious moments.
Participating in meditation events or learning new breathing techniques helps to sharpen our attention and focus on the present moment. In fact, organizational tools such as calendars or to-do lists are a great way to keep your appointments and tasks in check. A structured approach helps prevent those "oops" moments.
Judging A Book By Its Cover
Right, but hear me out...a self help book for insecure females sold on the premise that guys like is mysogistic and pandering to their insecurity, making it seem valid, so that they pick up the book. That is not helping cure their issues as the title will keep reminding them that in some even obscure way it's about what guys like.
Go stand in the corner and think about what you did… (immediately heard the intro to Better Than Revenge)
THE STORY STARTS WHEN IT WAS HOT AND IT WAS SUMMER
Load More Replies...Well, in america, we have the right wing religious nuts judging books by their cover. They are taking so many books off shelves that might talk about stuff that hurts their narrowmindedness. Anything to do with sex, race, gender identity. They actually pulled from the shelf a book whose author's last name was G A Y which is actually judging a book by its cover.
1) No one promised here to not judge a book by it's cover 2) The last thing the girl needed was to trade disparaging talk for gaslighting
Guys like girls who read the material they are figuratively and literally 'flaming'
Is That Why, Like, 3/4 Of The Population Is Lactose Intolerant?
My cat gets to share lactose free milk, curds and ice cream with me
Load More Replies...I mean it's true. Cows milk is for calves. People milk is for baby people. Cat milk for kittens.
Every mammal makes milk perfectly suited to its own offspring, not other species!
According to Google 70% of the worlds population is lactose intolerant. Kind of weird for a product that is "made for humans"... 🤔
Um, Ansi, cow's milk was not "made for humans" Cow's milk was made for the young of it's own breed of mammal
Load More Replies...It's kinda funny how milk from another species we drink without problems, but milk from our own species is a taboo, outside when it's for babies. XD
Lactose Intolerance is the norm for most adults. It is the lactose tolerant who are a genetic anomaly. A lot depends on what part of the world your ancestors are from.
Nope: Even in the Stone Age there was an entire group of humans already lactose intolerant.
Actually, lactose intolerance is the norm for the adult human body. Being able to tolerate lactose from other mammals is the "defect"

And what are your credentials to be claiming an alien "spider-like" creature can't be a mammal or at least have feminine breasts?
Load More Replies...Just like the "teacher" that does science classes at the local high school, who assured me that plastic comes from trees. WUT? Oh yeah, she says, and tells me all about the process by which trees are made into paper. But it's plastic. SMH.
I got a question marked wrong because I listed a dolphin as a mammal. I was in 1st grade and I fought it until the teacher realized I was right.
As a penguin connoisseur (look at my user), this is a DISGRACE, I apologize for this man's lack of intelligence.
While multitasking is impressive, sometimes it's a recipe for disaster. When we attempt to do too many tasks at once, our brains get overwhelmed, like a computer that has too many tabs open. And just like that, we start to lag because of the overload.
To avoid going from lightning-fast to snail's pace, one should focus on one task at a time. When we keep switching between different things, our brains need time to refocus and this prevents us from fully immersing ourselves in the task at hand. It’s harder to achieve meaningful progress while multitasking. So, remember to take a deep breath, and tackle things like the productivity pro you are.
She Doesn't Know What's Coming
When my wife was giving birth, someone in another room was also giving birth but had refused all pain relief. The screams......
It's not standard everywhere to get pain meds during labour. I've had two children without any and in my country you don't "refuse" pain meds, you specifically have to ask for them.
Load More Replies...If this person is Christian, her own holy book says literally the opposite of that. It's right near the beginning and very clear that as far as God is concerned, the pain of childbirth is a feature, not a bug.
Take pain relief or don't. Scream or be quiet. You're pushing a pineapple through a straw, do whatever you like.
My favorite description is pushing a piano through a transom.
Load More Replies...This is almost worse than believing the pain of childbirth is punishment for Eve's original sin. I hope someone gives this woman an epidural and a science lesson and puts her kid in a good school.
If it was punishment for Eve's original sin, why are alle the other mammals hurting too when giving birth?
Load More Replies...Yeah right. Just like women can't get pregnant from a rape because "the body has ways to shut that all down if it's a legitimate rape". Paraphrasing, but actually said by some right wingnut.
First time? She's gonna be in for a shock. Trust me babe, you want the epidural. It really DOES feel like you're pushing out a watermelon otherwise...
I just had to check her insta and it was actually her second birth, she said her first was "uncomfortable, intense and exhausting but pain is not the word she uses to describe the experience", most of her posts are super religious
Load More Replies...What are the odds on her not getting her kids vaccinated for similar reasons?
I didn’t have time to get an epidural with my second. Let me tell ya, felt like someone was ripping me down there then poured gasoline on it and set it on fire, after an hour of contractions, in which it felt like someone was stabbing me and just ripping and stretching my stomach muscles out. Yea, good luck with that pain blocking sweetie. I’m due with my third in June and TERRIFIED to go through that again. Lol
If so.. Then why is there a theory floating around on the evolutionary scale that womens pelvic bones are becoming more narrow and natural birth is at some point; far on the horizon, not going to be a safe or viable option?
We're getting close! I've known two women who fractured their tailbone during delivery.

My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my Gmail account because he signed up for Priceline using the Gmail login button.
I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did it because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.
Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.
Does it make me petty that I do this kinda stuff all the time to the woman who refuses to stop using my email as her spam dump? I got her number from one of these emails, told her to stop. Any appt or purchase or whatever that I see that she used my email for, If I can I cancel it.
Happened to me. The dumb shite used my email address for their cable account. I may or may not have stopped the autopay.
Load More Replies...If the flight was soon enough to be within the window for getting a refund from the card company I would have set a reminder in my phone and cancelled the night before the flight. With luck he wouldn't know until he got to the airport, and at the least he'd probably pay a good bit more for a ticket.
Excuse Me?
I'd actually prefer to see electricity do them
Load More Replies...Don’t forget, sleep is your brain's secret weapon that keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Not getting enough rest can impair memory, attention, and your decision-making abilities. Imagine: You are staring blankly at the fridge, wondering what exactly you are looking for. It's like your brain hit the snooze button along with your alarm clock.
That's why it's important to prioritize quality sleep. Aim for a solid 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye every night, and it will help you efficiently tackle whatever challenges the day throws your way.

TBF this was the sort of reasoning used by the Pilgrim Fathers - they weren't leaving England to escape fro persecution, they were leaving it to found a community where they could force their religious beliefs on everybody else - so it's not _so_ surprising that it's still present in parts of the US.
If I had the power, I'd let everyone who thinks we should have mandatory religion and follow "Gods law" have their way. I'd stick all the christians in a place that requires them to follow sharia law as the Taliban see it.

Even if you have a totalitarian system, you can't just change people's minds. Even during the Spanish inquisition, many people claimed to accept Christ but still kept their religion (or lack thereof). Stupid idea and impossible to enforce. Get a new hobby.

Load More Replies...I have a saying that fits all the posts here. "Just when you think you have met the most stupid person on the planet, someone comes along to prove you wrong."
I clean my filter after every load. Also I learned that dryer sheets leave a film on the filter that blocks the air, so you need to clean your lint filter with dishwashing soap and water until water flows through the filter.
do the same thing a couple of hundred times more, and you will have enough for a carpet
I got a free, nearly new dryer because someone wasn't smart enough to clean the lint filter.
I actually had an owner of a laundromat thank me when I cleared out the trap after I used the dryer. I can't imagine that much of a build up.

The guy apparently only made it halfway before he ODed. We were doing a post-mortem cleaning for his family.) Our employees just look the other way, don't touch the items that are covered in substances (like the aforementioned table) and they don't take any of it home - that is theft.

Apparently, Cleopatra VII Was African-American
And she was also related to Alexander the great
Load More Replies...Yes, we're all descended from the cradle of nature in Africa. Cleopatra lived before America was America.
Load More Replies...In America, so many people think all black people are African American. They literally think it's the term for any black person. Black Jamaican: African American. African living in Africa: African American. Black Frenchman... you get the picture. I'm often ashamed of those around me as it's really bad in the south. I don't know why, it just is.
Cleopatra being African American is proof that there was connection between ancient Egypt and native Indians. It's also proof of enormous stupidity of people who are saying this.
The Sunburn Won’t Give Her Cancer, The Sunscreen Will
I said this on another post. Some sunscreen's do contain ingredients that are known to cause skin cancer. The solution to this is to use sunscreen that doesn't have those chemicals in it, not forgoing sunscreen and being burned. Sunscreen protects against skin cancer.
Or just do what I do whenever I have to go into the sunlight! XD a_day_at_t...c3607d.jpg

I didn't even try to explain that to him that if the truck turned over when he was making a turn there was no other possible explanation (other than maybe blowing out a tire, but he would have said so if that had happened).

The bridge in your story was obviously too wide. A park near me has a foot bridge that was built by a summer trail crew of teenagers, with a college student as their supervisor. None had a clue what they were doing, but they did get some advice from a couple of contractors they knew and more or less built a replica of the old bridge, using some rough sawn oak that was a full 2x12 and tripled up for the beams. When a Karen heard the story she raised hell with the park office, so they hired an engineer to inspect it. He said that "if it was wider you could drive a truck across it".

I used to work in a doughnut shop. The fryer grease was solid (think Crisco), inside heavy plastic bags. Each box had one bag of grease in it. Written on each side of the box was the warning: "Remove grease from bag before using."
In Italy we have a vaginal wash called Tantum Rosa (rosa means pink). The same producer makes a mouthwash called Tantum Verde (means green). I think something happened at some point because they started to write on the vaginal wash that it is for external use and not to drink it (the box contains sachets of powder to be dissolved in water)
It's just what happened. But I'd like to point out there were also a couple of women who tried to use Tantum verde on their lady parts ("green is the one for men, but it shouldn't do any harm" was apparently their thought), and that didn't went well, too.

Load More Replies...She's wrong, but so are those people who think the war was started because the North wanted to abolish slavery. Abolition was not on the government's agenda at the start; the government had two aims regarding slavery - to disallow slave-owning territories admission into the Union as new states, and to forbid existing slave-states from expanding slavery into new territories. The government hoped that slavery would die out by itself over time. The slave states saw the restrictions as an attack on Southern values and rebelled. Even two years into the fighting Lincoln famously said that if he could end the war without freeing a single slave, he would gladly do so. Even today, those on both sides of the argument have a far-too simplified idea of what actually happened back then and why.
It's basic military strategy - By claiming to fight a war to free slaves they have a noble reason at hand and it gets them the support of the slaves within the enemy's territory, causing uprest and economical damage

It's people like this that give Christians a bad name 🤦🏼♀️. Please note, I'm not trying to start a theological debate - everyone should be free to believe what they believe, without hate.
Even I as a Catholic know it doesn't work this way. The Bible couldn't relate scientifically accurate facts because no one knew back then. I guess people wanted stories to understand so symbols were created and told to reinsure people.
Some people can't seem to understand that there have been discoveries since the Bible was written! I had to teach myself a lot of science as a kid because my Christian school wouldn't teach it. My science teacher in high school, she wasn't a Christian until she was studying biology at uni and got into a deep dive of DNA and thought that this couldn't have all been an accident.

To me this sounds like a person trying, getting it wrong, and apologising
Except that "you're sexy for a [literally anything]" is never a good thing to say. It's like: You're smart... for a woman. Or: You're successful... for a POC. Not exactly a good vibe.

If you expect unattractive guys to respect your no, expect the attractive ones to respect it too. Maybe learn to respect your own no.

If the sun exploded, we'd see it 8 minutes later. But the sound wouldn't reach us until 14 years later. Doesn't matter tho, because, well, we're all dead.
The sun could never explode. In the unlikely scenario that it does, the light from the event would take around 8 minutes to reach us and whatever heat that was last emitted would also reach at the same time
We wouldn't find out about it at all, because the superheated gas blown out by the explosion would hit Earth before we knew it was coming. The Earth's atmosphere would instantly be blown into space as a fireball; the oceans, rivers and icecaps would flash-boil and all life on, above, and under the Earth's surface would be vaporised in an instant. The planet would turn from a life-supporting haven to a charred cinder in a fraction of a second. Not even enough time to apply sunblock 😉

Language nerd here. You write the number 5 exactly once. The rest are numerals, not numbers.
The mathematically correct answer is that you would write the number 5 just once. You would use the digit 5 in seventeen other numbers.
5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 (2 5s) 65, 75 = 9 yeah? Or am I about to feel like I should be in this list somewhere?
Plus 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59... but don't worry, I also overlooked those.
Load More Replies...I understood what they meant. They’re asking if you’re writing all the numbers from 0-75 then how many times will the digit 5 appear in either the unit place or the tens place

Comparing Wanker Walsh to jerks might be a bit of an insult- to the jerks.
Load More Replies...It's not about discipline. I thought that for years, with partially weird outcomes and means employed. That never worked. I always thought that ... if we consider our thoughts to be written into and read out of a book, my book has been lying just in an open window, on a stormy day. I thought for YEARS that everybody has it so, just that I'm too ... undisciplined to do enough about it. I found something else than Ritalin that makes this stop, but still, he'd consider it a d**g, and he'd consider it unnecessary. And, about his take on it, IDGAF.

For those not in tech, 256 is a power of 2 (2^8) and powers of two crop up all the time in programming. Although actually I'd have thought 255 was a more likely number as it's the largest number that can be stored in a byte.
Zero is a number too. If you add in 0 to the other 255 numbers, you get 256 numbers that can be stored in one byte. :o)
Load More Replies...Computers read bits, true/false as a 1 or 0. A byte is 4 bits that can be any number from 0 as 0000 to 15 as 1111 (1+2+4+8). 2 bytes cap out at 255 (1+2+4+8, +16+32+64+128). This is the first thing a computer science class teaches you.

When I went to the Dominican Republic the only cash that I carried was $100 in singles for tips. I used my card for any purchases. When I went to Scotland with a friend in the 70's, we exchanged our cash in banks. How you deal with money depends on where you're traveling to.
Load More Replies...Not a dumb question. You can use your US cards, they will automatically change it for you electronically. You can use major cards at ATMs and draw out the regional currency. You can bring USD to almost any bank, and they will change it as needed to local currency. Most places charge to change currency, so use your plastic as much as possible and only switch what you actually need. Travelers checks are also a good way to carry emergency money.
Aw bless. Let's educate so they can know better... Admittedly, the fact the UK still has pounds while euros has eaten nearly every other currency in nearby Europe, this makes a degree of sense...
If you stick to the most odious tourist traps, maybe. Hope you're bad at math because the exchange rates they will offer you are about what you deserve. Seriously, use a credit card like Visa, and you'll be fine in most places.
Phone Case Kiosk Guy Fitted And Sold This Case To My Clueless Grandmother
So the outer fabric comes with a (plastic) case on the inside and they cut only the outer fabric to match the phone? Trying to figure out what I'm looking at here..
Phone's camera doesn't line up with the hard shell interior, and the leather exterior was cut to fit the hard shell camera holes.
Load More Replies...Is it maybe a case that's made to fit a variety of phones, with a variety of camera types? Or am I missing something?
So, phone cases are meant to fit particular phones. For instance, an iPhone 15 case should fit an iPhone 15 and not an iPhone 13. I have a Samsung s23 and a case to match. Also, iPhone cases will not match Samsung or any android phones.

Load More Replies...What??? My ancestors were from Europe. That doesn't make me English or Irish. (Although it does make me have pasty white skin with freckles, LOL) I'm American.
Americans like to think they are Europeans because it let's them ignore that Hispanics and Native Americans have a longer lineage in America than they do.
The (South) Americans living in the French colony of French Guiana could consider themselves Europeans since they are citizens of France.

OP states on Reddit: "I stopped to get the photo and went left lane."
Load More Replies...To be fair, the car with the camera is far enough behind, and far enough to the left, that it might be about to take the left lane. One has to get within a certain distance before the sign becomes obvious.

Load More Replies...sorry, small print, what does the sign say please? i am vision impaired....(and no, i dont drive, i would be the passenger, bugging the driver about it lol)
Here's what I see (icbw): Owner/operator of the drive-thru set up two lanes to avoid blocking cross traffic (from the right in this pic), knowing (or hoping) it would be a polite R-L merge at the end. A couple cars chose the right lane, one behind the other, then the 3rd, 4th etc cars joined the same line to avoid being "that person" by shooting the left lane.
People do this type of thing all the time tho ! I can’t figure out why !
This happens in Tokyo at ticket gates, there are a bank of exits but usually people follow the people in front of them and use 1 or 2 exits when there are about 5 additional ones they can pass through. Drives me nuts!
Drives me particularly nuts when everyone flocks to the wider access gate and I'm left sitting there in my wheelchair waiting for 40 people who could have got through the other 11 gates. A couple of people with big suitcases or bikes go to the wider gate and then everyone just follows behind them.

I asked the person at the counter at Baskin Robbins for a quart of a certain flavor of ice cream. She said they had no more one-quart containers. I said, ok just give me two pints for the same price. She froze, stammered, acted like I was trying to trick her, then refused. Another excellent product of our public schools.
I understand this, though. You have to ring things into the cash register, mostly using bar codes. If you don't physically have a one quart there to take the code from them you cannot make the cash register give the one quart price, it won't do it. Also, 2 smaller things are more expensive than one big one due to packaging and transport costs (round containers make you transport a lot of air in your truck) and the costs of handling and storing the items in store, so they are not the same price at all and not interchangeable. Cashier likely working out if this is possible with her register and without getting fired, and that jammed up her brain in being able to respond.
