Aniel Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Got a new job at a grocery store a week ago. Today a person bought 200 bananas. Only 4 bunches fit on the scale at a time. We had to open another register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereward Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Assuming they already possess 118 bananas, I'm going to guess it's a suicide attempt. The lethal dose of potassium chloride is 2500mgs per kg of body weight in 30 seconds. As I said earlier there is roughly 400mgs of potassium in one decent sized banana. So someone of my weight (51kg/112lbs) would have to eat approx 318 bananas in 30secs to reach the lethal dose of 127,500mgs of potassium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniel Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It was for a company which apparently insisted on getting exactly 200 bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Question for some of you smarter and/or experiences (with this sort of thing) folks; what can you do with a stolen car registration? My wife's car registration was stolen out of her car, along with an old, barely working GPS we don't use anymore. Nothing else, of value or otherwise, seems to be missing. She has called the police and filed a report, and is getting a replacement registration ASAP. But what can the thief do with just the registration? What should we be on the look out for, and what should we do to protect ourselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I once had a friend who read that you can get high from banana peels. He then purchased like 40 of them and hung them around his apartment and waited for them to dry out over a few weeks. I don't know how or what he did to smoke them but in the end it shockingly didn't work. I wish I was joking about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should we be on the look out for, and what should we do to protect ourselves? Probably depends on whether or not there's any information beyond name, address, license #, and car info. I doubt they'd be able to use it for any kind of ID fraud. I've always left a copy of the most recent registration in the glove box of the trucks I've sold on Craigslist and haven't had any issues. I know in CT to register older vehicles you need a copy of the registration from the previous owner, so I'd assume (perhaps wrongly) that the info on there can't be too valuable in a criminal sense. I think even for a utility bill account you need a social security number. Unrelated, but my neighbor asked me how to get rid of the hiccups and I told him he had to eat 200 bananas in 24 hours.

Arkhangel Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My sister keeps dropping jokes-which-are-not-jokes about how much of a 'Christmas Nazi' she's going to be this year. She is quite clearly laying the ground, as it were, and I'm feeling like it's more and more likely that we're going to have to have a conversation at some point this holiday about the limits of acceptable control freakitude. She's going to say 'but I warned you it was going to be like this', and I'm going to have to explain that telling someone you're going to behave badly in advance does not absolve you of behaving badly. Premeditated jerkness is still jerkness; all it means is that you knew you were going to do it, and not only did you choose not to try to stop yourself from doing it but you also want other people to be prepared to accommodate your behaviour.

So, kinda freaky update: after searching around the house, Mrs Lobster is convinced the thief/thieves also took a 'valet key' that was probably in the glove box. She has since filed a 'lost or stolen registration' with the RMV and got a replacement, and had the key chips re-programmed so even with the valet key the ignition wont start.... then apparently last night they got BACK into the car (either via valet key or orginal means) and put the fucking registration back.

Any chance she missed the reg on the first go over? no. first of all, after the first incident the glove box and console were very ovbiously tossed (neighbot texted us about the trunk and drivers side door being ajar) i myself went through EVERY SCRAP OF PAPER in that glove box with her after filing the police report... and the thing was left just sitting on top of all the other stuff.
