i was at the laundromat this morning and i don't usually fold there (or anywhere, lol) but i had wanted to EXCEPT this early-20s-ish (ugh so young) couple had put all their clothes into one dryer forever (put stuff in multiple dryers for shorter time idiots) and were sitting on the nearest folding table in front of the sign that says "please do not sit on folding table"

like the dryer was stuffed so tight with clothes just going around as if it was a washer. think about it.

Local area having idiot teens throwing stones at passersby just because they are at hand. I assume this is pretty standard for disaffected youth but it does seem to be causing a lot of consternation among people who are trying to do things like litter picks locally. There's a path you have to walk back along from the woods where the litter pick was being done and first a car that was collecting rubbish bags to take them back to the disposal point and then a guy walking a wheelbarrow containing more collected stuff had stones thrown at them as they went along it. Kids hang out at a point along it.. Looks like that might be the last straw for the guy and future litter picks are in doubt. He had had a sign showing the paths through the forest and local wildlife vandalised by somebody the day before. Can't be sure if it is the same people but likelihood of collection is pretty high.
There area lso various flowerbeds and things around the estate that have stones around them that I've seen kids throw at people for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if they're actually intending to cause harm or thinking anything about the result of having stones thrown at people but it is a major pain in the arse. I'm thinking it is just a game on their part and they're not really thinking beyond their own enjoyment. Which is verging on creepy.Just wondering how you handle things so that things like that don't repeat.

Interview subjects who use "Yeah, so," "OK, so," or "Right, so" as placeholder text and begin the answer to every question with one of those. You could be the world's leading authority on something, but you're going to have to work twice as hard to convince me.

I always expect those sentences to turn into "Look, you do what I tell you." or something equally noxious.

pplains would appreciate this -- someone in my city owns the original LOOK magazine logo that was on the building and had it in their front yard, or at least they did when I used to drive through their neighborhood years ago.
Look was a bi-weekly, general-interest magazine published in Des Moines, Iowa, from 1937 to 1971, with more of an emphasis on photographs than articles.

Definitely did not know about the sign in the front yard either.
