  • I’m really annoyed how little consistency there is in sizing terminology. One brand’s ‘XL’ might be too tight for me while another brand’s ‘XL’ could fit me like a garbage bag. Makes shopping online a real hassle for me. I always have to check measurement tables and even then it still might not fit right.

    I don’t understand why the inconsistency exists. If brands all agreed with each other on what exactly their sizing terms mean, wouldn’t that cut down on returns?












  • Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn’t find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn’t true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn’t remember taking any pictures.

    Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and “border agents” because she assumes they’re all “illegal” immigrants.

    The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄
