    A few years ago on Thanksgiving, my dashcam captured a hammered coed stumbling over a curb and faceplanting into the side of a building; I stopped and asked if she was okay, and she said something unintelligible before staggering off...

    Unless it's a Camaro, a Corvette, a full-size SUV, or a pickup truck, I think GM products very bland and boring; The build quality also sucks in my opinion!

    Another time on Thanksgiving Eve, I believe 2018, I was taking a snack break in my truck in the Puck parking lot; Some college kid didn't feel like waiting in line for the porta-potty and took a leak right there in the parking lot. No police saw him, but my dashcam sure did! I didn't have the lights on, and with my tinted glass he didn't see me; He was several feet away from my truck, so I didn't bother him...

    Believe it or not, I've had bad experiences with my headlights and drunks…

    I've had people try to approach and attempt to fight my truck (as if it was a sentient being like Christine) because I turn on the brights or beep the horn when they're standing in the middle of the street like a deer!

    The key is to keep the windows up and the pepper spray at the ready; If anyone touches my truck they'll have stinging eyes to go along with that hangover!

    Also, drunks seem to be attracted to shiny things, like a metallic silver pickup truck for example...

    @Taco critter

    And this happened last summer and did not involve any alcohol or consumption thereof, but I was at a cruise night in the Huntingdon Valley area; I came back to my truck and found some old man leaning against it like he owned the damn thing. I gave him the death glare and said "Dude, could you please not lean on my truck?!?!" He complied, but seemed to confused as to why it bothered me so much; There would have been serious trouble if he'd given me an attitude!

    And I know I've shared this story on here before, but here it is again; This was in either 2017 or 2018, when I was still working at Puck. My boss sent me to Acme to get some groceries for the kitchen, among them Quaker oatmeal (for reasons I don't remember). My boss wanted a very specific type of oatmeal, and I found what I thought was it, but I texted her a picture to make sure; The reception in that Acme sucks, and my boss has the annoying habit of not always being by her phone. In the meantime, this little old lady pushes her cart up and starts looking for oatmeal. There were plenty of oatmeal cans left, but that's not the point. After acting confused for a few seconds, the old lady reaches right into my cart and grabs MY oatmeal. If this had been a younger woman or a man of any age, I would not have been as nice as I was, but I was PISSED.

    I looked at her and said something along the lines of "Hey, that's mine." She was absolutely perplexed as to why I was annoyed at her. I said something like "That is my oatmeal, and there is plenty on the shelf over here; Give it back right now..."

    She still seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she'd done something wrong, but rather reluctantly handed the oatmeal back over to me. I told a coworker about this encounter when I got back to Puck, to which she responded by sighing and saying "Ugh, I hate old people." :rofl:

    We did serve bottles of Coffee Oatmeal Brown from Freewill Brewing Company in Perkasie, but I don't remember anything oatmeal-related ever being on the menu, so I have no idea why my boss was having me buy it. COB is a very niche craft beer in my opinion, a beer that you either love or hate. I happened to be one of the ones who enjoyed it, but it was never really a big seller; My boss wanted to clear some space in the walk-in cooler. I casually mentioned that I wanted some Coffee Oatmeal Brown for an upcoming party, and my boss handed me the remaining two cases (one open and down two bottles, and one unopened), and told me to put them in my truck but to be sneaky about it. :D

    :cheers::drunk:

    I first started going to Puck in the summer of 2010 (the year I turned 21) and start working there in November 2014; From about July 2010 until the venue closed indefinitely in January 2019, I've obtained several hundred dollars of free food and drink!

    :woot:

    Back in the late 80's or early 90's l came out of work one day and there were 2 girls filling out job applications on my rear window, they lifted the rear wiper and made a desk. I was kinda pissed but they were pretty hot so l was friendly about it.

    Yeah, people tend me to be much nicer to women, especially if they’re attractive!

    Her name is Layla (like my favorite Clapton song of all time), she’s almost 9 years old, and she’s a Pit Bull mix...

    What I’m worried about is whether or not it’s a quality product...
