Care to explain?


On certain whatsapp groups the purpose of the groups is not to chat (points chats, spending, announcements) yet there are certain people that don't get that or just don't care. Those people are annoying

There's a certain travel agent that doesn't even put the information in the email BODY!!! You have to click on their link to see the 'trip case' .  And a year or more after the flight, when I wanted to remind myself which flight I took, the information is long gone.

When someone knocks on a locked bathroom door and even worse, turns the knob!  >:(
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

How do they know it is locked if they don't try to open it?
I just found a new supply of forks!

I've had this debate before. What do you answer when someone knocks?

1. Answer in the third person (someone's in here)?
2. Answer as if someone knocked on front door (who's there; der tatte iz nisht in der hoizen)?
3. Noise (cough; flush)?
4. No answer, I'm absolutely sure I locked it, let them try the knob.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Number 4 scares me thou...

The bathroom doors that lock with just pushing in a button (I always feel like it isn't actually locked, and I can't check if it is!)





And a RP from last year...
Guys like me. I'm done trying to rush around the bima and getting all bent out of shape about the guy that you perceive as spacing out... Now I take my merry time and only move when there are daled Amos open...
Basically, we're all in this together, and are at the mercy of the chazan anyway. We're not going home until HE has had his fix....

But the short-cut guys... are the pits! Don't get me started.
I'm not who you think I am.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

The definition of movement involves both time and space. Movement is defined as a change in location over a span of time.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
